"All of this is wrong. I hate Pride Law. My family should still be alive, and we never should've had to leave." [...] "It shouldn't be. When I'm big, I'm gonna fix it. All of it! We won't ever be scared or sad or hungry ever again." —Feather to Nothing in Episode 6: Prideless.
Feather is an African lion, Nothing's cousin, and the deuteragonist of My Pride.
He was born to Quickmane and Waterhunter at the Sisters Steppe, alongside his two nameless sisters, Sister 1 and Sister 2.
After a No-Mane called Proud killed his father and sisters, Nothing was exiled from the Pride, and Feather unknowingly followed her into exile. He and Nothing became Prideless to find Fire on the Prideless Stretch.
When his other cousin, Fire, tried to kill him in order to claim a Pride, Feather faked his death and got away while Nothing and Fire fought, but was too late, as Nothing had already entered the Shifting Place with Ghost.
Personality[]
- Feather is very cheerful, energetic,[2] and likes the stories his grandmother, Sharptongue told him. He likes the story of when Nothing clawed out Quickmane's eye. He seems to like things he finds brave, such as Nothing ripping out his father's eye, disregarding the strange looks he gets from his sisters.[4] He dreamed of being a great lion, very strong, muscular, and a great warrior. He thinks of becoming a great Mane and having many members in his Pride.[5]
- Feather is also shown to be smart, as he realized that the only reason why Nothing was keeping him away from the Pride was because Quickmane and his sisters were killed, and despises Pride Law because of its cruelty.[6] As a teenager, Feather became clever, and had a great mind for strategy, but was also bitter and protective at times.[7]

Fire[]
- Feather seemed to look up to Fire, thinking his cousin was cool when he was a cub. In his teens, Feather seemed to strongly dislike Fire for trying to change Nothing's name and wanting to kill someone.

However, this changes when Fire betrays his cousin and almost murders him in order to be accepted as Mane.

Nothing was devastated when Feather was presumably killed by her brother.
Farleap and Silentstalk[]

Nothing then realizes the time, and then goes out with Feather to the Pride, when they were already in the group's territory, a white lion comes out of the tall grass, and Feather is scared because he has never seen a No-Mane.

The Prideless lioness, called Rain takes Nothing and Feather to a nearby watering hole. When Nothing was called to talk to Rain in private, she offered Nothing to teach her how to survive if she left Feather. Nothing ended up refusing. When Rain revealed about The Shifting Place, Feather was excited to know about it. As the lioness leaves, she ended up revealing her name to be Rain.

He told Nothing to come with him so that he could discuss what he was worried about including the murder attack on Barkmane. When Nothing froze during the battle between Fire and Barkmane, Feather ran up and jumped on Barkmane’s face, scratching him which gave Fire the advantage, which also resulted in Feather assisting Fire in killing Barkmane.
