Birchfall/Main article

Birchfall is a light brown tabby tom with amber eyes and glossy fur.

He is born as Birchkit to Dustpelt and Ferncloud of their second litter, and he has two older brothers, Spiderpaw and Shrewpaw. While Twolegs are destroying the forest territories, Birchkit's littermates Larchkit and Hollykit die of starvation, and since Fercloud is unable to look after Birchkit due to losing her daughters, and later Shrewpaw, he is primarily looked after by Cody and develops a friendship with her. He is saddened when she leaves to go back to her Twolegs, but is able to become friends with Toadkit, Applekit and Marshkit, the kits of the ShadowClan queen Tallpoppy. He is sad when they claim new territories and he is not able to see his friends again. He becomes an apprentice, the very first one made in ThunderClan's new camp, renamed Birchpaw, and is given his uncle Ashfur as a mentor.

He becomes a warrior with the name Birchfall, and becomes mates with Whitewing, and the pair have two daughters, Dovekit and Ivykit. He is supportive of his daughters, and does not seem to understand why they fight and quarrel since they were so close as kits. Eventually, he is recruited by the Place of No Stars to "become a better warrior". Birchfall, oblivious to their true intentions, agrees, and discovers that Ivypaw is training there as well. While he is happy that they are both training, Ivypaw is distraught now that her father is being training by the Dark Forest. When in the Great Battle, he hides with Blossomfall and Mousewhisker until Ivypool convinces them to fight for the Clans. Afterwards, he is devastated to learn that Ferncloud died in the battle, and Dustpelt, knowing that Birchfall willingly trained in the Place of No Stars, nearly disowns him, not allowing him to see Ferncloud's body or even speaking to him, despite Birchfall not knowing of the Dark Forest's true intentions. Birchfall feels horrible and is treated as a traitor by ThunderClan, until he takes an oath of loyalty, apologizing for his actions, and he is forgiven by the Clans.

He becomes a grandfather to Ivypool's litter of kits, and is saddened when Dovewing mysteriously disappears. When she returns to ThunderClan, Birchfall is overjoyed to see her and his new grandson and granddaughters via her. However, he is distraught to learn she intends to move to ShadowClan, but accepts his daughter's choice nonetheless.

Mistakes

 * He has been mistakenly referred to as gray both as a kit and apprentice, and mistakenly called tawny.
 * Birchfall, Mousewhisker and Blossomfall are mentioned to have fought on the side of the Dark Forest, when in fact, they hid when the battle started until Ivypool convinced them to fight for the Clans.
