First of all, thank you again to cygna for giving me the idea with this thread:
wcrpforums.com/thread/84750/imagine-breezepelts-life-siblings-lived
And now, onto the AU!
So what I immediately knew about my OC versions of Breezepelt's canon dead littermates whose genders are still unknown and who survive here, was that I wanted to make them the opposite but still similar to their half siblings Hollyleaf, Lionblaze and Jayfeather, if this makes any sense at all. So they are both she cats simply because Hollyleaf had two brothers and I wanted for Breezepelt to have more sisters.
Before finally deciding on their names, because apparently they didn't even get Prefixes unlike Crowfeather's deceased littermates Eaglekit, Downkit and Hillkit, at least according to Su Susann's Missing Kits list, if that is even still considered relevant or canon, I wanted to give them other animal related names like their half brothers have (Lion and Jay) but then decided against it because those two are part of a prophecy were all three main cats have such names and I didn't want them to loose their "special name benefit".
Here are the descriptions of Breezepelt and his sisters Dewtail and Fogfoot to put things into perspective:

Here are the descriptions of Breezepelt and his sisters Dewtail and Fogfoot to put things into perspective:
Breezepelt/black tom with amber eyes (looks similar to Nightcloud)
Mentor: Whitetail
Mate: Heathertail
Dewtail/dark gray she cat with blue eyes (looks similar to Crowfeather)
Mentor: Owlwhisker
Mate: Harespring
Yes, I named her in memory of this interaction between Ashfur and Dewnose:
Bramblestar's impostor: "You're training him well, Dewtail."
Dewnose: "Dewnose. I'm called Dewnose."
Bramblestar's impostor: "Of course you are. I knew that."
—The impostor getting Dewnose's name wrong in The Silent Thaw, page 24
Fogfoot/light gray she cat with darker gray paws and green eyes (looks like Ashfoot except for the eyes and paws)
Mentor: Weaselfur
Mate: Leaftail
She was named in honor of Crowfeather's parents Deadfoot and Ashfoot by Onestar (who also happens to be Ashfoot's younger brother).
(Something probably coincidental I realized while finding names for these two was the following while looking at their other sibling's names for reference: ABCDEFGHollyleafIJayfeatherKLionblaze. So I just decided to do the same with Breezepelt and his sisters: ABreezepeltCDewtailEFogfoot)
I also decided to keep the tradition of way too many cats with the -tail suffix in WindClan alive and how often cats in Crowfeather's family end up with the -foot one.

PoT arc
Intro
Dewkit and Fogkit survive their difficult birth alongside Breezekit and grow up with him, their rather protective mother Nightcloud and their very distant father Crowfeather.
Meeting the Three
Upon becoming apprentices, Breezepaw is still the only one of his littermates to meet Jaypaw just like in canon when he accidentally walks off a cliff and falls into the lake. Dewpaw and Fogpaw meet Hollypaw, Lionpaw and Jaypaw at their first official gathering together. Breezepaw is still his bossy self here while both of his sisters just introduce themselves after following him to find Heatherpaw and then leave to sit with Crowfeather at which their brother joins them soon.
The Daylight Gathering
Dewpaw and Fogpaw participate in the tournaments and compete against various other apprentices from all the different Clans offscreen while their brother has his incident with Lionpaw on their squirrel hunt competition. They join Crowfeather, Nightcloud and Heatherpaw in digging up Breezepaw from the abandoned badgers den and then later curl up alongside their mother around him in the ThunderClan medicine den.
Saving the WindClan kits
Neither Dewpaw nor Fogpaw join the group searching for Swallowkit, Thistlekit and Sedgekit and are instead on the WindClan patrol confronting ThunderClan about the missing kits.
Journey to the Tribe
They do not go on the journey with their father as he thinks watching over Breezepaw will be enough work for him and Nightcloud insists that they better stay with her.
War of the Eclipse
They both are encountered during the battle by Hollypaw and Lionpaw but neither of them show up as prominently in it like Crowfeather and Heatherpaw do before the sun vanishes for a few moments.
The Reveal
Both Dewtail and Fogfoot are at that fateful gathering and horrified when Hollyleaf tells all the Clans about who her and her brothers real parents are. They look just as angry as their brother soon enough though.
OotS arc
Aftermath
Dewtail and Fogfoot are at the gathering before Dovekit and Ivykit are made apprentices and they both don't say anything but either one or the other keeps on looking at Lionblaze and Jayfeather while they walk to the island, before the leaders speak and after it is over whle they are following their Clanmates home.
Moonpool situation with Jayfeather and Poppyfrost
Neither of them is there but Jayfeather asks Breezepelt if their sisters know what he's doing and what they would think of him if he killed a medicine cat and a pregnant queen. All this does, however is only further enrage Breezepelt to attack his half brother.
Dark Forest training
It is revealed in the prologue that Breezepelt has convinced his sisters to train alongside him with the Dark Forest cats "to become stronger warriors". They are only spoken of as doing so however and not yet seen. Later on when Ivypaw goes to the Dark Forest and meets more trainees from the other Clans she spots Dewtail often sitting beside Harespring and having casual conversations with him. Fogfoot once gets partnered up against Ivypaw and loses against her which makes Breezepelt be angry at the ThunderClan cat. When Ivyppol later kills Antpelt a final time both Dewtail and Fogfoot are seen following their brother towards her and looking at where Antpelt's dead ghost body previously was in shock as there is no trace of him anymore.
Fogfoot wisely decides to no longer visit the Dark Forest in her dreams but only tells Breezepelt this in the waking world and doesn't go "the Beetlewhisker way" about it. When Breezepelt informs Brokenstar and the other leading Dark Forest figures about this he sounds anxious and takes a nervous step back upon seeing Brokenstar get angry about it. But as the intimidating brown tabby tom starts to insult Fogfoot and plans on "paying her a personal visit" Ivypool notices Breezepelt unsheat his claws and bare his teeth at him which almost prompts a fight between them that only gets prevented when Tigerstar steps in and calls Fogfoot no longer wanting their advice "her loss". This effectively ends the argument.
Dewtail meanwhile is still training with them and after her sister has left and her brother becomes more agressive she decides to look for other cats to talk to besides him but still makes sure he's alright, other than that she's mostly staying close to Harespring and Sunstrike while also on occasion speaking to Ivypool and only nodding in resignation when she tells her that Antpelt's death was nothing personal. Dewtail in response says something along the lines of: "He was not himself anymore." She later witnesses Beetlewhisker's demise at the claws of Brokenstar and listens to Ivypool when she tells the trainees to fight for the Clans and not the Dark Forest. Her brother disagrees and runs off but when he later turns up again being delighted at Hollyleaf's death and attacking Lionblaze, they join their father in hauling him off of their half brother and tell him to "just stop with this entire behaviour already".

Border altercation with Lionblaze
Both Dewtail and Fogfoot are hunting alongside their brother and parents when Breezepelt and Lionblaze attack each other viciously. They do not interfere and just watch until their other family members have calmed down enough which is when they both look at each other and then leave ahead of them.
Reaction to Hollyleaf's return
Both of them are present at the gathering where their half sister shows up again as part of the ThunderClan patrol and just end up gawking at her the whole time.
Tunnel Fight
Neither of them is present during this battle for unknown reason.
The Great Battle
Both Dewtail and Fogfoot trained in the Dark Forest with Breezepelt but Fogfoot already decided to leave after Antpelt dies his second death at Ivypool's paws and Dewtail listens to Ivypool when she tries to convince all of the trainees to fight for their Clan. Both of them witness their brother's threat over Hollyleaf's dead body and see him attack Lionblaze. They help Crowfeather in preventing Breezepelt from making any more mistakes by dragging him away from their half brother and basically telling him to grow up. He doesn't run off here and instead just stays where they put him, looking down on his half sisters corpse as if suddenly realizing something.
After the battle and beyond
Breezepelt is still angry and confused at what to do or where he stands in the moons afterwards but both of his sisters are there for him, defend him against the glances and remarks of others and try to look out for him while also having their own lives.
Breezepelt eventually calms down and is at ease with his place in WindClan while also becoming mates with Heathertail just like in canon.
Fogfoot's mate Leaftail is aware that she trained in the Dark Forest but doesn't hold it against her or the others who ultimately fought on the Clans side. He still accuses Breezepelt of various things and remains as one of his most vocal doubters but his mate usually tells him to drop the matter and focus on a real issue (like hunting/patrolling/fighting) which shuts him up rather quickly.
Dewtail and Harespring, who was appointed deputy after Ashfoot's death, get along great and are the first to have kits out of Crowfeather's kits. Fogfoot and Leaftail are last after Lionblaze and Cinderheart and Breezepelt and Heathertail.
Both sisters are seen on a few patrols and gatherings just like their brother Breezepelt. They're also on polite speaking terms with Lionblaze sometimes managing to get Breezepelt to make light conversation with him as well. As for the relationship with their parents and other ThunderClan family members, it is less complicated than before but Lionblaze is still the only one they really dare to approach and talk to.
