Rippletail (RC)

Rippletail is a dark gray tabby tom with blue eyes.

Twilight

 * When Leafpool comes to the RiverClan camp to help with the sickness, Ripplepaw watches his mentor, Reedwhisker thank Leafpool for saving him and then go with Reedwhisker to get yarrow for the sick cats.

The Sight

 * Ripplepaw is now a warrior, named Rippletail.

Long Shadows

 * He is now mentor to Mallowpaw.

The Fourth Apprentice

 * His apprentice Mallowpaw is now a warrior, named Mallownose.
 * He and Petalfur are chosen to represent RiverClan and go on the patrol upstream to see what is blocking the stream, along with Lionblaze, Dovepaw, Sedgewhisker, Whitetail, Tigerheart, and Toadfoot. When dogs attack the patrol, he, Petalfur, and the WindClan cats don't know how to climb trees, as there aren't many on their territory, so the ThunderClan cats and ShadowClan cats have to assist him and the others.


 * When they reach the beaver dam, he and Petalfur stop and play in the river, happy to be back near water. When the warriors try fighting the beavers, a few beavers corner him. The biggest one rips a wound in his shoulder with its huge teeth. Petalfur brings him out of harm's way, but the wound is to much for him to recover from without proper care, and he suffers all night. He slowly dies when dawn comes, as he was the only cat who knew which herbs to use since Mothwing had given him basic training before they left. The patrol buries him by the stream, and they vow that they will find a way to bring back the water so that he will not have died in vain, but they must do so without fighting the beavers.
 * When the warriors return to the lake, Lionblaze and Dovepaw offer to go to RiverClan with Petalfur to break the news of Rippletail's death, but she declines, saying it is something that she must do alone.
