Pebble Heart/Main article

Pebble Heart is a soft-furred, dark gray tabby tom with a white mark on his chest, and amber eyes.

Pebble Heart was the first medicine cat of ShadowClan. He was born to Turtle Tail and Tom, along with Owl Eyes and Sparrow Fur, but was adopted by Gray Wing after Turtle Tail's return from Twolegplace. As a young cat, Pebble Heart discovered a passion for medicine, learning all he could from Dappled Pelt and Cloud Spots until settling with Tall Shadow's cats in the pine forest. He is noted as being the medicine cat to discover Carrionplace sickness, which caused his death.
