Echosong

Echosong is a small and gracefully-built, silver-gray tabby she-cat, with tiny, dark gray paws and deep, green eyes.

Firestar's Quest

 * Echosong is a former kittypet that Firestar recruited to join SkyClan.


 * Firestar had a dream from Cloudstar, SkyClan's past leader, saying that a kittypet who dreams of their warrior ancestors, but had not yet heard of the Clan would become their new medicine cat. When she met Firestar, he was asking Oscar if he had had any strange dreams, while hoping he said no. She told Firestar: "I dream of cats with stars in their fur." Oscar was really surprised and tried to convince Echosong not to join this group of cats. She later became SkyClan's medicine cat, although she had no knowledge whatsoever of treating injured cats.

Sandstorm soon teaches her what she knew about herbs. When Firestar was leading SkyClan to battle the rats, Echosong said that she would see him again, and it is said that it had "the ring of a prophecy". She was also with Leafstar when she received her nine lives and became SkyClan's leader. At the ceremony, Fawnstep, the SkyClan medicine cat when SkyClan left the forest, declared her the SkyClan medicine cat, and told Echosong that she would watch over her until she knew how to be a true medicine cat.

Cats of the Clans

 * Rock says that there was no hint of SkyClan blood in Echosong's long fluffy coat or delicate paws. However, she did dream about Firestar and Sandstorm before they left on their quest, and knew that these strange cats would come looking for her help. SkyClan's ancestors were all but completely faded, but they had just enough of a voice left to speak to Echosong, and when this was coupled with her quick learning skills for herbs and cures, Echosong was the obvious choice for medicine cat.
