Oakstep

Oakstep is a gray tabby tom.

Firestar's Quest

 * Oakpaw is an ancient SkyClan apprentice when SkyClan is driven out of the forest by Twolegs.


 * He is mentioned once during a flashback to an earlier time where SkyClan made the gorge their new home after being driven out of the forest by Twolegs, and moons of traveling. He is then called to join a hunting patrol, his mentor then being revealed to be Mousefang.

SkyClan's Destiny

 * Oakstep is now shown to be an elder of ancient SkyClan during the time when SkyClan has already settled in the gorge, and scatters due to a rat attack.


 * When the battle patrol against the rat comes back to camp, he is shocked when he hears about Sunpelt's and Fallensnow's deaths, and asks where the bodies were. When Swallowflight tells him they couldn't bring them back, he protests, saying it was wrong to leave them behind. Oakstep hobbles away, grief-stricken, to go retrieve the bodies himself, but Spiderstar stops him. Oakstep does not want to give up, and is horrified when Spiderstar says StarClan had given up on SkyClan. He decides that Cloudstar was right when he told them to never look to StarClan again.


 * Oakstep decides to stay behind with the other two elders, Nightfur, his former mentor Mousefang, Spiderstar, and Brackenheart.
