Ferncloud is Dustpelt's mate, Ashfur's brother, the mother of Icecloud and Foxleap along with Birchfall and Spiderleg, and one of the two permanent nursery queens in the series. She is more prickly and firm than Daisy, having seen just about every kind of shenanigans a kit could pull, but she is still ultimately knd and forgiving, and an especially good shoulder to lean on for any cat who may seek her advice.
