Flametail

Flametail is a bright ginger-red tom with faded light green eyes, thick fur, a bushy tail, and short, pudgy legs.

Dark River

 * Blackstar, the ShadowClan leader, reports at a Gathering that Tawnypelt had given birth to three kits- Flamekit, Dawnkit, and Tigerkit. It is revealed that their father is Rowanclaw.


 * Flamekit and his siblings do not make a formal appearance after the Gathering.

Outcast

 * Flamekit makes his first appearance play-fighting with his siblings when Lionpaw and Brambleclaw come into camp, asking if Tawnypelt had permission to go with them to the mountains. He and his littermates beg their mother Tawnypelt to let them go with her, but she refuses. She asks Snowbird to watch over them, and Snowbird accepts. He is last seen saying goodbye to his mother.

Eclipse

 * He continues making mischief in the ShadowClan nursery with his brother and sister. He is very excited when he sees Hollypaw, Lionpaw, and Jaypaw. He and his siblings develop a particular interest in Jaypaw and his blindness.

Long Shadows

 * Flamekit becomes an apprentice, taking the name of Flamepaw. He was supposed to be Littlecloud's apprentice, thus becoming a medicine cat, but ShadowClan do not have mentors or medicine cats anymore, due to Sol taking over the Clan.


 * Since ShadowClan have lost their beliefs in their warrior ancestors, Flamepaw travels with his mother, brother, and sister to ThunderClan, Tawnypelt's birth Clan, to live. Flamepaw is assigned Cloudtail as a temporary mentor. He complains that he wants to go back to ShadowClan because he wanted to become a medicine cat, because Leafpool already had an apprentice. He also tells Lionblaze that he wanted to meet his grandfather, Tigerstar.


 * He helps set up a fake sign to make Sol leave ShadowClan. He wonders if they're doing the right thing, and stops helping. Tigerpaw then encourages that they are helping StarClan and ShadowClan. The sign eventually turns out to be real. Flamepaw goes back to ShadowClan afterward with his mother and littermates.

Sunrise

 * It is revealed that Flamepaw has become Littlecloud's apprentice. He was surprised when Jayfeather remembered him and he told him they were kin.


 * Later in the book, Littlecloud presented Flamepaw to StarClan by the Moonpool. In his dream, he meets Jayfeather and tells him that he wanted to meet Tigerstar, his grandfather. Jayfeather tells him that he should be happy to meet any cats of StarClan.


 * He was also present at the Gathering when Hollyleaf revealed that she and her brothers weren't the kits of Brambleclaw and Squirrelflight.

The Fourth Apprentice

 * Flamepaw is still listed as Littlecloud's apprentice, but now has his full medicine cat name, Flametail. He doesn't appear in the book apart from medicine cat meetings at the Moonpool.

Fading Echoes

 * Flametail is seen at the Moonpool gathering with the rest of the medicine cats. He playfully teases his mentor, Littlecloud, about how old he was getting. Jayfeather is about to walk in his dream to see if he knew anything about Tigerheart meeting with Tigerstar in his dreams, and wonders if Flametail may be being trained with him too. In Flametail's dream, Runningnose wants to tell him something, but it is not shown in the story.

Trivia

 * Flametail is first described as a dark ginger tom, though this is later changed to bright ginger.
 * Flametail was confirmed to be the new point of view in Night Whispers in the seventh Erin Hunter Chat.
 * He has SkyClan blood, because his great-grandmother, Leopardfoot, is Spottedleaf's sister.
