Ravenpaw

Ravenpaw is a small, sleek-furred black tom with a white dash on his chest, a white-tipped tail, and pale green eyes.

Into the Wild

 * Ravenpaw is the only witness of Tigerclaw killing Redtail, the former ThunderClan deputy, and was the cat who brought the news back to camp. He runs back to the ThunderClan camp, announcing that Redtail was dead. He faints shortly afterward.


 * Ravenpaw also became one of Firepaw's first friends in ThunderClan, besides Graypaw. Whenever Ravenpaw was around Tigerclaw, he became extremely jumpy and nervous. For one of Ravenpaw's assessments, he was sent by Tigerclaw into ShadowClan territory for prey.Against the warrior code.


 * After Tigerclaw had manipulated cats in the Clan to think Ravenpaw was a traitor, Firepaw and Graypaw took him away from the forest to live with Barley, a loner who had helped them previously. Firepaw and Graypaw told the Clan that Ravenpaw had been slain by a ShadowClan patrol, and he was then presumed dead by ThunderClan.Firepaw eventually told Bluestar, and she wasn't surprised at all.

Fire and Ice

 * Ravenpaw and Barley remain allies to ThunderClan, and help out Fireheart and Graystripe numerous times, such as giving WindClan shelter upon their return to the territory. He was happier as a loner than a Clan cat and seemed to fear only Tigerclaw. Ravenpaw changed much, being more calm and natural-talking.

Forest of Secrets

 * Fireheart reveals the truth of where Ravenpaw was staying to Bluestar. At first she claims that maybe he was just not meant for life as a Clan cat, but only after she discovers the truth of Tigerclaw's treachery does she invite him back into the Clan. Ravenpaw, however, chooses to stay a loner with Barley promising to come and visit the Clan again. Though Fireheart found himself questioning whether bringing Ravenpaw to Barley's farm was the right thing to do, he later discovers that it was for the best when he sees the formerly skinny and jumpy black tom as a sleek, well-fed loner.

Rising Storm

 * Ravenpaw returns to the forest in Rising Storm to tell Fireheart about a lost white kittypet with ThunderClan scent near his territory which turns out to be Fireheart's stolen apprentice and nephew Cloudpaw.

A Dangerous Path

 * Ravenpaw is asked by Fireheart to deliver a message to Bluestar to resolve peace from her accusations towards WindClan.

The Darkest Hour

 * Ravenpaw helps Firestar and Graystripe save Mistyfoot, Featherpaw, and Stormpaw from Tigerstar's prision by acting like a TigerClan cat and telling the guard to the prison, Jaggedtooth, that Tigerstar wants him. Together, the three friends save Mistyfoot, Featherpaw, and Stormpaw.


 * Later in the battle against BloodClan, Ravenpaw and Barley fight in the battle as LionClan warriors.

Firestar's Quest

 * Ravenpaw was hardly mentioned in Firestar's Quest. When Firestar is going to find SkyClan, he and Barley welcome him into his barn for the night.

Bluestar's Prophecy

 * Ravenpaw is seen as one of the four apprentices of ThunderClan. He is seen stripping a leaf from its stalk when Dustpaw attacks him and he jumps into the air. Bluestar thinks that he has been nervous since he was a kit, since it took his mother a half a moon to coax him out of the nursery. She hopes that by giving him Tigerclaw as a mentor he will gain courage.

Midnight

 * He was the one who told Brambleclaw that the sun-drown place was real, thus pointing the journeying cats in the right direction. Ravenpaw had never been to the sundrown place but he let many rogues and loners shelter in the barn and they told him about it. When he visits the ThunderClan camp to warn Firestar about the monsters Brambleclaw tells him about his dream and Ravenpaw thinks of the sun drown place.
 * He also is the first cat to warn Firestar of the huge monsters that are destroying trees when he pays the ThunderClan camp a visit. The monsters are mainly over near the barn and WindClan territory but he wanted to warn Firestar. Firestar says that it is not a problem and ignores the loners warning.

Later in the book he gives shelter to the journeying cats before they go on their quest. He and Barley also accompany the younger cats to the Moonstone, then he says good bye and the other cats leave.

Dawn

 * He and Barley allowed the Clans to shelter in their barn before they left on the Great Journey in Dawn, and Ravenpaw said his final goodbyes to his friends. He gave Firestar a rabbit as a parting gift and Firestar ask him to join them but he refuses. Firestar is depressed at this news because he was losing both Ravenpaw and Graystripe who were his 2 oldest friends. When the cats leave Ravenpaw and Barley watch them go and are very sad to see many of their friends leave.

The Sight

 * Although he didn't appear, in The Sight, Graystripe mentions meeting Ravenpaw, who is concerned about Firestar, and pointed him in the direction that the Clans traveled. Firestar is excited to hear about his old friends and asks Graystripe if Ravenpaw is ok. Graystripe says that the Twolegs in the forest had not effected the farm and that Ravenpaw and Barley were fine.

Warrior's Return

 * Ravenpaw tells Graystripe and Millie which direction the Clans went and let them stay in the barn for one night. Ravenpaw comments on Millie knowing ThunderClan hunting moves. The next day he watches Graystripe and Millie leave and tells Barley that they were his last connection to the forest.

Shattered Peace

 * Ravenpaw tells of the time when rogues came to the barn seeking shelter in Leaf-Bare. The leader of the rogues' mate, Minty gives birth to her kits, all of which become very fond of Ravenpaw. The kits make Ravenpaw homesick for ThunderClan, and works his hardest to hunt for the cats and find the best playthings for the kits. This causes a fight between him and Barley, who thinks that there's something strange about the cats, while Ravenpaw sticks up for the rogues. In Willie's plan to drive them both out, one of the Twolegplace cats reveals they were of BloodClan, and almost kills Ravenpaw, whose life is spared by Minty intervening. He suggests that Barley and him shelter at the moonstone, and then receives a dream telling him ThunderClan would help them.

Cats of the Clans

 * Rock explains how Ravenpaw did not enjoy fighting, and his mentor, Tigerstar, could never understand that. Tigerstar misinterpreted Ravenpaw's reluctance to harm others as fear, and when Ravenpaw saw Tigerstar kill Redtail, his life was put in danger. Firestar helped Ravenpaw escape to live on Barley's farm, where he still lives, happier living as a loner than he was when he was a Clan cat.

Erin Hunter Chat

 * It was revealed on Vicky Holmes's facebook, that Ravenpaw's parents were Fuzzypelt and Robinwing, and his littermate was Dustpelt, though Dustpelt did everything he could to deny that he was related to Ravenpaw.
