Unlike Cinderpelt, Crowpool was always destined to be a medicine cat. From birth, she had a special sensitivity to other cats, particularly her sister. For a while it seemed that, young as she was, Crowpool knew exactly what lay around every corner and over every horizon. She knew that the Clans had found their new homes when they reached the lake; she knew that Squirrelflight would make a strong and loyal deputy for Thunderclan; she even knew that blood would spill blood before the Clans were truly settled around the lake - and she watched as Squirrelflight killed his half-sister, Hawkfrost, to save Sandstar.

But the one thing Crowpool did not foresee was falling in love with a Windclan warrior, Leaffeather. Like Raggedpelt before her, she broke the warrior code and bore kits: Cinderkit, Hollykit, and Jaykit. To keep Crowpool's secret, Brambleclaw raised the kits as her own, even convincing her mate, Squirrelflight, that they were his. Crowpool suffered the pain of watching her kits grow up without them knowing she was their mother.

When her secret was discovered by Hollyleaf and blurted out at a Gathering of all the Clans, Crowpool had to give up her role as Thunderclan's medicine cat and become a warrior instead. To add to her agony; her kits hated her for lying to them, especially Jayfeather, who became medicine cat in her place. But Crowpool served her Clan with quiet loyalty until Jayfeather realized that her skills and experience were too precious to lose and invited her to return to the medicine den. Once again accepted as a medicine cat, Crowpool shared her skills with any cat that needed them, mentoring Puddleshine of Shadowclan and acting as medicine cat for Skyclan when they had none. This generosity would eventually lead to her noble death. After dreaming of kits in danger, she saved one of the Travelers - a group of traveling cats - and her newborn kits. Crowpool was killed when the cave where she was protecting the kits collapsed.

Starclan put Crowpool on trial, challenging her breaking of the warrior code by having kits, and it became clear that Crowpool regretted nothing: she treasured the kits she had borne and was proud of her life serving the Clans as a medicine cat. In the end, Starclan agreed that the good she had done outweighed her mistakes, and allowed her to join them.
