Bouncefire

Bouncefire is a ginger tom.

Firestar's Quest

 * Bounce is born to a rogue named Clover and an unknown father, who is assumed to be a traveling rogue, along with his siblings, Rock and Tiny.


 * Bounce and his family are being attacked by a fox, but they are saved by Sharpclaw, Firestar and Sandstorm. After the incident, Clover decides to join SkyClan, primarily for protection. Shortly after that, Bounce and his siblings earn their Clan names.


 * While in the nursery, Bouncekit is shown as being the most troublesome and adventurous of all the kits, and gets him and his siblings in trouble numerous times. Bouncekit and his siblings also find the Whispering Cave. Firestar realizes that the voices echoing inside are of the SkyClan ancestors. While he rediscovers the cave, he gets swept into the river and almost drowns. He is saved by his mother, who can swim extremely well, and Firestar suspects Clovertail has RiverClan ancestors as well. Because of the trouble he caused, no one believes him about the cave. Soon, he and the other kits start spreading rumors of scary things in the caves, and they are discouraged when Firestar takes a patrol in to investigate.


 * When Petal and her kits come to stay, Bouncekit and his siblings are seen jumping around, yowling about how they're not the littlest anymore. When Petal explains to her kits that they are not really Clan cats and that they just need a place to stay, Bouncekit wonders if that's why they don't have 'kit' at the end of their names.


 * After Leafstar becomes SkyClan's new leader, she makes Bouncekit an apprentice, his mentor being Patchfoot, and he gains his new name, Bouncepaw.

SkyClan's Destiny

 * Bouncepaw is initially spotted by Leafstar playing with his siblings, Rockpaw and Tinypaw, before their warrior ceremony. After some deliberation whether or not to wait for the daylight warriors, as they haven't appeared yet, the ceremony takes place and the ginger tom earns the name Bouncefire. The daylight warriors arrive soon after and are unhappy about missing the ceremony. Snookpaw, who really admires Bouncefire, is especially disappointed to have missed the ceremony, as he had wanted to be the first to call his warrior name. The young cat states that he wishes for Bouncefire to be his mentor in lieu of Billystorm.


 * For his first task as a warrior, he is sent on border patrol with Sparrowpelt and Ebonyclaw. He is noted to be among the Clan cats that are hostile to the daylight warriors.


 * He is later chosen to go with Leafstar to explore the dens higher up to cliff. He offers to go to the dens at the tops, boasting that he can climb up there well, but is told that the entire patrol could manage it. Upon reaching the top, he sneezes because of the dust, but begins to help clean the den out. It is mentioned by Leafstar that he doesn't have the physical characteristics that SkyClan descendants have: long legs and hard pads.


 * The day after his vigil with his littermates, their arguing awakens the Clan as they try to decide on the best place to hunt. Sharpclaw solves the problem quickly by sending all three of them on different patrols. He later runs into Harveymoon and Macgyver as they are leaving the camp after being punished for being rude to Sharpclaw and is astonished at the news. He is included with the patrol attacking the Twoleg.

Beyond the Code

 * Bouncefire and Rockshade approach Ebonyclaw, Harveymoon, and Billystorm, who are lying together in the shade. Rockshade starts an argument with the daylight-warriors, and Bouncefire backs him up, betting that two gorge-born warriors could live on the food one daylight-warrior gobbles down every day. Harveymoon retorts scornfully that he didn't realize his eating habits upset him so much, and he threatens to never return to the gorge. Bouncefire says that would suit him just fine. Harveymoon asks what kind of name "Bouncefire" is, anyway, and Bouncefire replies that it's a better name than "Harveymoon". Bouncefire backs down when Leafstar stops the argument.

Trivia

 * He is mistakenly shown to have a white underbelly in Beyond the Code.
