Speckletail/Main article

Speckletail is a pale golden tabby she-cat with amber eyes.

Speckletail was a ThunderClan warrior under Pinestar's, Sunstar's and Bluestar's leaderships in the forest territories. She was born as Specklekit to Harepounce and Stagleap along with her sister Whitekit. After Harepounce died in the Great Hunger, she and Whitekit were fostered by Rainfur. After receiving her warrior name, Speckletail became Smallear's mate and had two litters: Goldenflower and Lionheart, and Mistlekit and Snowkit, the latter being deaf. Fireheart and Cinderpelt inform her of Snowkit's inability to become a warrior and she went into denial, claiming she'd teach Snowkit herself. He was later carried off by a hawk which pushed her to retire as an elder. She chose to remain behind in the forest while the rest of the Clans journeyed to find a new home. She eventually died and joined StarClan.
