Heavystep

Heavystep is an old thickset brown tabby tom with a deformed leg.

Fire and Ice

 * He first appears as an apprentice to Blackclaw.

A Dangerous Path

 * Heavypaw appears as a warrior, Heavystep, now with an apprentice, Dawnpaw.

Firestar's Quest

 * He is never formally mentioned, but he is listed in the Allegiances. Also, during Leafstar's leader ceremony, it is stated that Birchstar reminds Firestar of Heavystep.

Midnight

 * He is a regular warrior, and his apprentice Dawnpaw has become a warrior taking on the name Dawnflower.

Dawn

 * Heavystep now has another apprentice, Stonepaw.

Starlight

 * He appears as one of the elders, and is complaining about hunger and thirst towards the beginning of the book. He is one of the cats who accepts the tainted water-soaked moss given by Mothwing, and, in turn, gets sick because of the dead rabbit at the bottom of the pool.

Twilight

 * He becomes as an elder, but is still only mentioned in the allegiances.

Sunset

 * Heavystep supposedly dies of greencough when Leafpool chooses to stay with Berrykit, whose tail has been caught a fox trap, instead of going to tell Mothwing where to find catnip.

The Sight

 * He appears in the allegiances even though he died in Sunset.

Long Shadows

 * Heavystep supposedly dies of greencough again, despite the fact in Sunset he died of the same illness. Most likely Erin Hunter forgot about him dying before. However, once again, in the next book he is featured in the allegiances alive.

Sunrise

 * He appears in the allegiances even though he died in Long Shadows and Sunset.

The Fourth Apprentice

 * He is not listed in the allegiances and is therefore presumed deceased.
