Nettlesplash/Main article

Nettlesplash is a pale brown tom.

He is born as Nettlekit to Waspwhisker and Fallowfern, along with his siblings Plumwillow, Creekfeather and Rabbitleap. He becomes an apprentice named Nettlepaw, and later on, a warrior named Nettlesplash. He and several other SkyClan cats try taking Twoleg food from an elderly Twoleg, though Leafstar catches them and reprimands them. Nettlesplash later becomes Rileypool's mentor, and becomes Mintfur's mate, fathering Gravelnose, Nectarsong, Palesky and Fringewhisker with her. In the aftermath of the battle of the gorge, Nettlesplash and Mintfur opt to become loners as their young kits won't be able to handle the long trek to find ThunderClan.

As he and Mintfur raise their kits, Nettlesplash becomes worried when Darktail and his band of rogues remain in the gorge, but when Dragonfly, a cat of Darktail's, falls sick near their den, Nettlesplash feels pity over the she-cat and helps nurse her back to health. Moons later, a SkyClan patrol led by Hawkwing finds Nettlesplash and his family again, and the family rejoins SkyClan once again, returning to SkyClan's new home.

A Vision of Shadows

 * Life during Nettlesplash's life as a loner is shown in the bonus scene of Darkest Night. He and Mintfur have been training their kits, Gravelkit, Palekit, Nectarkit, and Fringekit in the life of a warrior, and remain wary of the rogues at the gorge. While out, Nettlesplash discovers a sick cat of Darktail's named Dragonfly. He takes pity on her and helps nurse her back to health. This is discovered by Darktail, who recognizes Nettlesplash and wants to kill him until Nettlesplash lies that his mate and kits had died, and Dragonfly, grateful to Nettlesplash and his family for helping her, helps convince Darktail to let Nettlesplash go.


 * Moons later, a SkyClan patrol led by Hawkwing goes back to the gorge to find their missing Clanmates. Nettlesplash is happy to see his old friends and is content to learn that they found the Clans, joining the patrol back to Clan territory with his family and reuniting with the rest of his old Clanmates.

SkyClan and the Stranger

 * Leafstar grows suspicious of Nettlesplash and some of his Clanmates after they often come back with no prey, yet feeling full. She discovers they were taking food from an elderly twoleg, and she reprimands him, Sandypaw and Honeypaw for doing so. Nettlesplash apologizes and becomes distrustful of Sol, the cat owned by the twoleg he was taking food from.
