Snowfall (ThC)

Snowfall is a bright white she-cat with dazzling blue eyes.

In Journey to Redemption

 * In a story to Splash, Tigerstar tells the kit about why white cats with blue eyes are deaf.


 * When the Clans were still new, but after medicine cats had been established, there was a beautiful she-cat named Snowfall. Snowfall was originally soft-spoken and modest, but as the moons progressed and more and more toms became attracted to her, she grew vain. She did not care about this, however; she only cared for the compliments that they would feed her; compliments such as 'as beautiful as the moon', 'as pure as new fallen snow', 'brighter than the stars themselves'. StarClan was not happy that Snowfall was being compared to the stars among which they lived. As such, they sent Ferndapple, another beautiful she-cat, to stop the constant stream of attention Snowfall was receiving. Ferndapple returned to life temporarily, and for a time, it seemed StarClan's plan was working. However, Snowfall, consumed by jealousy and wanting the attention she had received back, lured Ferndapple away and killed her.


 * When she killed Ferndapple, however, the StarClan she-cat rose to her paws again, wounds healed. Snowfall then realized her mistake then, apologizing, but it was too late. Ferndapple cursed Snowfall to be deaf, and extended the curse to Snowfall's descendants, causing them to be deaf if they were born white-furred and blue-eyed. With this, Ferndapple disappeared, leaving Snowfall to go back to her Clan to explain what had happened. When she did, Thunderstar agreed to let her stay, as if Snowfall was abandoned to the wild, she would most likely die. She was then confined to the elder's den. Most toms didn't want to be with her after the incident, but those that did gave her compliments that could not be heard. She later repented and ascended to StarClan, where her hearing was restored.
