Midnight (character)

Midnight is an elderly, female badger with berry-bright eyes, a white stripe running down her face, and a bulky body.

Midnight

 * Midnight is in a cave at the sun-drown place, after the six traveling cats wash up inside the cave. At first, the cats are frightened, but she tells them she will not kill them. She introduces herself and invites them inside, where she tells them that StarClan has given her a message for them. She tells them that they must go back to their Clans and convince them to leave the forest to find a new home, as Twolegs are planning to destroy it to make a large Thunderpath, as well as a prophecy that will help guide them to their new home. One of the cats says they must leave right away, but Midnight disagrees as she tells them it is a long journey back. She tells them to stay the night to restore their energy.

Moonrise

 * Midnight leads the six cats back to a forest near Twolegplace, she convinces two foxes to leave the cats alone, and the cats and badger meet Purdy once more. Midnight convinces the cats to go back to the forest on the route of the mountains, despite Purdy's protests. She saves the cats from foxes, by making a deal in fox language. She then bids the six cats farewell.

Sunset
