Rainswept Flower is a brown tabby she-cat with blue eyes.

History

In the Dawn of the Clans Arc

The Sun Trail

She toils up a slope to scout a route out of the mountains in a group composed of herself, Shaded Moss, Clear Sky, Tall Shadow, Dappled Pelt, and Turtle Tail.

Rainswept Flower is part of the party of cats leaving with Shaded Moss. As they are leaving Stoneteller tells the cats to find somewhere that suits them all. She names each cats talent, noting Rainswept Flower for her ability to track far-off prey by scent alone.

Because Hawk Swoop, Falling Feather, and Jackdaw's Cry are not fully grown they have trouble getting over the largest boulders. Rainswept Flower and Shattered Ice walk beside them as the party travels, offering help to the younger cats where it is needed. When Dappled Pelt catches a fish Bright Stream purrs that she thinks the fish is great and Rainswept Flower nods her head in agreement.

As the group is crossing a scree they are attacked by eagles. Most of them reach safety but Rainswept Flower and Hawk Swoop fall behind, and Gray Wing finds he can make no progress with Dappled Pelt. A heartbeat after Gray Wing and Dappled Pelt reach safety under an overhanging rock with the rest of the cats Rainswept Flower and Hawk Swoop join them, just managing to dodge the eagle's claws. The group decides to wait out the eagles. After the eagles have withdrawn from trying to attack the cats again Clear Sky announces that they needed to show the eagles the cats were the hunters. Rainswept Flower demands how they would accomplish it.

As the cats exit the mountains onto a stretch of flat lands Rainswept Flower exclaims that they had really done it. Shaded Moss tells her that they have almost done it; first they have to cross the river.

Later on, the cats are discussing the Thunderpath, and if they will be able to cross or not. Rainswept Flower is not as hesitant as the others, because she says that Stoneteller told her that the monsters usually kept to the Thunderpath, so they will be safe. Eventually, the cats prepare to cross. Rainswept Flower exclaims that they are huge, and when a monster goes past slowly, she asks if it is looking for them. Rainswept Flower and Dappled Pelt cross together, showing that it can be done.

The First Battle

As Tall Shadow's group of cats debate whether to attack Clear Sky's camp Rainswept Flower asks what there was to fight for and adds that they didn't even want Clear Sky's forest. She asks why Clear Sky even wanted the moor adding that he had asked for the forest to begin with. Rainswept Flower is the first to scent Thunder as he enters the camp. Gray Wing asks if a storm was coming and Rainswept Flower says that she doesn't scent rain but the cat Thunder. Thunder comes out with Frost and Rainswept Flower asks who the white tom was. Hawk Swoop explains who the tom is as the cats gather around and Frost stays in their camp.

As the group gathers to hear Tall Shadow make Wind Runner and Gorse Fur part of their group Rainswept Flower asks what the delay was. Later, after Gray Wind discovers that Wind Runner and Gorse Fur are expecting kits he pushes past Rainswept Flower and Jackdaw's Cry. He beckons for Wind Runner and Gorse Fur to come forward and Rainswept Flower moves to make room for the two cats. As Gray Wing tells the cats that Wind Runner was expecting kits Rainswept Flower darts forward and congratulates the expecting parents.

Later Gray Wing hears Rainswept Flower and Jagged Peak talking. Rainswept Flower tells Jackdaw's Cry that they had to make Clear Sky see reason and Jagged Peak whispers that talking wouldn't work with a cat like Clear Sky. Jagged Peak expresses doubt in Gray Wing, saying that if he goes to Clear Sky's camp Clear Sky will be furious. Rainswept Flower adds that the whole group would be in danger if Clear Sky gets furious. She continues to say that they had to do something or Clear Sky would keep taking their territory. Jagged Peak asks her if she'd go talk to Clear Sky and she asks why. Jagged Peak says that Clear Sky trusts Rainswept Flower and he adds that Rainswept Flower was a friend of Bright Stream. Rainswept Flower is doubtful but agrees to think about it. She and Jagged Peak pad back into camp and Gray Wing waits until they settle into their nests before he moves.

As Wind Runner sits at the edge of the clearing, her stomach bulging with unborn kits, Rainswept Flower places wet moss by her and tells her to drink. Soon after Rainswept Flower leaps to her paws as Thunder returns to camp bringing news that Clear Sky had taken Jackdaw's Cry captive. Rainswept Flower is shown to be worried when Wind Runner begins her kitting too soon. When Tom takes Pebble Heart, Owl Eyes, and Sparrow Fur from the camp Turtle Tail rushes into camp and Rainswept Flower asks her what was wrong. Later, Rainswept Flower is again seen bringing wet moss to Wind Runner, after Wind Runner kits.

After the group of moor cats finds out about Turtle Tail's death Rainswept Flower stays beside Gray Wing, warming him. She whispers that Turtle Tail was happy that Gray Wing loved her at all. Soon Gray Wing falls asleep but Rainswept Flower awakes him at dawn. She murmurs that they should bury Emberkit. Wind Runner tries to encourage Gray Wing and Rainswept Flower hypothesizes that some Twolegs or kittypets might find Turtle Tail and give her a proper burial. Later, at Emberkit's burial Rainswept Flower huddles by Owl Eyes and Sparrow Fur. As the cats leave to visit Clear Sky's camp Thunder notices Rainswept Flower nuzzling Turtle Tail's kits. Rainswept Flower calls to Gray Wing and asks if he's going to say goodbye to the kits.

Thunder rushes back into camp to find out more about Pebble Heart's dream and Rainswept Flower leaps to her paws from where she was nestled by the kits and tells Thunder that he's scaring the kits. As Rainswept Flower joins the patrol to fight in the great hollow Sparrow Fur asks if she's going with Thunder. Rainswept Flower tells the young she-cat that she has to go help Gray Wing and Sparrow Fur retorts that she might not come back.

During the battle Rainswept Flower fights two toms that drive her away from her camp mates. The cats soon get her on her back and start viciously attacking her, Acorn Fur rushes over to help her. Rainswept Flower soon is on her paws again and fighting a tortoiseshell cat. Later, Clear Sky hits Rainswept Flower and sends her reeling. He asks her if it was worth it and she asks what he means. He responds by asking her if she's ready to die just to stop him and she retorts that if they don't he'll just keep stealing land. He tells her that he's simply trying to make sure none of his cats starve and she looks around and asks him if any cat could starve in a place like this adding that wanting anything more would be greedy. Clear Sky leaps for her and grabs her throat between his jaws, holding her tightly until she's limp. He drops her and says to her lifeless body that he's not greedy, he's simply strong.

As the battle breaks up, Rainswept Flower's spirit reappears. Tall Shadow asks if it really is her and Rainswept Flower tells the she-cat hello. During the conversation the living cats have with the dead cats, Storm tells Clear  Sky that he had once been greedy. Clear Sky says he had not been greedy but courageous, and Storm asks if killing Rainswept Flower was courageous. She later repeats the spirit cat's message, that the two groups had to unite with each other or die and then she pads away and curls back into her body.
