Its key characters are Zephyr, a {{Raised By Humans}} {{Papa Wolf}}, his mate Sequana, his sons Ruger, Cian and Julian, his daughter Layla, and his grandchildren Legacy and Calaway.

A film adaption of the first book is in the works, and more information can be found [[http://the-windwater-pack.weebly.com here]].

* CoolUncle: Ruger and Julian

* ILetGwenStacyDie: [[spoiler:Zephyr never really gets over Cypress's death, or his mother's, and losing his pups just digs the wound deeper]]

* CallingTheOldManOut: [[spoiler:Lykos when his father exiles him over trying to kill Zephyr.]]

* TalkingToTheDead: Zephyr receives guidance from his brother, Small Spark, who died as a pup.

* ShoutOut: To certain series (Literature/AvalonWebOfMagic, Literature/TheCircleTrilogy}}) and songs/singers are referred to now and again. In some cases, good luck figuring out what Zephyr's talking about.

* BigBrotherInstinct: Ashtree for Zephyr.
* CallingTheOldManOut: Both played straight and subverted by Zephyr in ''Spirit Brother'': His father Stone Voice is at the top of his list and he never hesitates to let him know it. However, when he has the chance to really put him in his place, he simply says “Good-bye” and walks away. A {{Crowning Moment of Awesome}}, too.

* LikeBrotherAndSister: Ashtree and Zephyr have this vibe.

* RetiredBadass: Nicodemus. Jagger is a non-Retired version.

* TalkingToTheDead: Zephyr receives guidance from his brother, Small Spark, who died shortly after birth.

* DisneyDeath: Zephyr in ''Homebound Drifters''

TROPES IN THE WINDWATER PACK:

* BigBrotherInstinct: Ashtree for Zephyr, Zephyr for Ashtree when she becomes Sín Nara, despite considering her his big sister.
* CallingTheOldManOut: Both played straight and subverted by Zephyr in ''Spirit Brother'': His father Stone Voice is at the top of his list (see Freudian Excuse below) and he never hesitates to let him know it. However, when he has the chance to really put him in his place, he simply says “Good-bye” and walks away. A {{Crowning Moment of Awesome}}, too.

* DeadGuyJunior: Moonriver is named for her grandmother, just to name one.
* DeadpanSnarker: The reason it's said sarcasm is Zephyr’s first language. Apparently an inherited trait i.e. Layla and Cian. Sequana has her moments too, as does Moira.

* FreudianExcuse: Poor Zephyr. It’s so sad his dad… er, sire didn’t want him, his littermates starved, his mother was shot when he was he was eight-weeks-old, and his hatred of said sire made him too blind to do the right thing so his cousin/half-brother had to sacrifice himself to keep his birth pack intact. Still doesn't excuse ripping the throat out or tearing to shreds people that threaten his loved ones.

* TrueCompanions: Zephyr and Ashtree.

* DeadpanSnarker: The reason Ashtree says sarcasm is Zephyr’s first language. Apparently an inherited trait i.e. Layla and Cian. Sequana has her moments too, as does Moira.

* FirstGirlWins: Moira is this for Cian. Maybe Sequana for Zephyr, as she is the first unattached she-wolf he meets.

* ILetGwenStacyDie: Zephyr never really gets over Cypress's death, or his mother's, and losing his pups just digs the wound deeper

* OfficialCouple: Zephyr and Sequana, Cian and Moira, [[Spoiler:Julian and Eclipse, Legacy and Legend]]

* PapaWolf: Zephyr, no contest. He won't allow any threat to his family, as Carlos found out first hand.

* SpeaksFluentAnimal: Ashtree, though she is limited to canines originally.

* TrueCompanions: Zephyr and Ashtree, which he extends to her mate and children.
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Ashtree due to her {{Transformation Trinket}}.

* DisproportionateRetribution: Zephyr’s reaction when he encounters the coyote that killed his pups is to shred him quite literally. The only thing that saves the coyote's mate is that killing her would leave their son an orphan, like Zephyr himself was.

* OfficialCouple: Zephyr and Sequana, Cian and Moira, Julian and Eclipse, Legacy and Legend.

* TalkingToTheDead: Ruger receives guidance from his sister, Riverstar, who died in her first hunt.

* ShoutOut: Certain series ([[AvalonWebOfMagic Avalon:Web of Magic]], {{The Circle Trilogy}}) and songs/singers are referred to now and again. In some cases, good luck figuring what Zephyr's talking about.
