Kinktail

Kinktail is a she-cat with a crushed tail.

Code of the Clans

 * Kinktail is an ancient RiverClan medicine cat.


 * It is noted that she has a crushed tail from when a monster ran over it when she was a kit.
 * She travels to the Moonstone with the other medicine cats; Mossheart, Quailfeather, Prickleface, and Swiftfoot, to share tongues with StarClan and ask them how they can stop the battles raging with their Clans.


 * After they all dream the same message, it is decided a cat does not need to kill to win his battles. Kinktail asks if warriors should follow this rule when they are fighting for their life, or against a fox. Swiftfoot tells her that there will be exceptions, but killing is not necessary when two Clans fight each other. This leads to a part of the fourteenth code; that warriors don't need to kill to win their battles, except against cats outside the warrior code or in self-defense. These events also lead to the tradition of medicine cats meeting at the Moonstone every half-moon to share dreams with StarClan.
