Jayfeather

Jayfeather is a gray tabby tom with blind blue eyes.

The Sight

 * Jaykit is first seen as a kit of Brambleclaw and Squirrelflight, along with his two siblings, Hollykit and Lionkit. When a patrol reports on fox cubs being sighted, he and his siblings beg to help and drive the cubs away. Brambleclaw tells them they are too young, and as he notices that the kits are feeling sad, he says they could help by guarding the camp. Later they grow impatient, knowing that they are not really helping and Brambleclaw was just trying to cheer them up. They wander out of the camp to look for the cubs themselves. They do manage to find the fox cubs much more quickly than the warriors, but the cubs are bigger than the kits, so they flee back to camp. As Jaykit is running for his life, he falls of the edge of the stone hollow, and falls to the floor of the hollow. He is knocked out from the impact, and has a short dream where Spottedleaf appears from StarClan, before waking up in Leafpool's den.
 * After Hollykit leaves, Leafpool tells Jaykit that he is destined to be a medicine cat. He is indignant and replies that just because he is blind, it doesn't mean he can't be a warrior. He then says he hates being blind and wished he had never been born. Luckily Hollykit asks Leafpool to take her as her apprentice, and Firestar allows Jaykit to train as a warrior; his mentor is Brightheart with Longtail assisting her, since both of them know the difficulties of Clan life with impaired eyesight. Jaypaw is furious that Firestar would give him a "useless mentor" just because he is blind, and he often disobeys Brightheart simply based on stubbornness. After his first day of training, which is spent cleaning up the elders' den while listening to Longtail talk, Brightheart tells him that they will not be going out of camp, and Jaypaw sneaks out anyways. He wanders onto WindClan territory and falls into the lake, which he couldn't see! Luckily, a WindClan patrol consisting of Crowfeather, Breezepaw, Whitetail, and Heatherpaw, sees him and pulls him out.
 * As his training continues, he begins to realize that being blind makes it very difficult for him to fight. This point is driven home when ShadowClan attacks ThunderClan, and Jaypaw tries to take on Owlpaw, but can't see where his foe is attacking from. Lionpaw arrives and helps by calling out where Owlpaw is coming from, but Jaypaw wonders if he can ever be a warrior without someone there to help him.
 * That night, Jaypaw dreams that he is in the Place of No Stars. Tigerstar and Hawkfrost appear, and tell him that they can teach him to be a great warrior despite his blindness. Jaypaw is briefly tempted, but Spottedleaf appears from StarClan, and takes Jaypaw away from the Dark Forest. She then tells him that he wasn't destined to be a warrior, but a medicine cat. Jaypaw argues with her, but then realizes that she is right. Before he can tell Hollypaw, who was the current medicine cat apprentice, he discovers that his sister had already decided that she would make a better warrior, rather than medicine cat, for she was far better at the fighting moves than the memory of herbs. After telling Leafpool, he becomes the young she-cat's new apprentice.
 * Later, Leafpool discovers that Jaypaw is able to see normally in his dreams, and enter the dreams of others, which Leafpool thinks is important, but Jaypaw says it isn't a big deal.
 * During a greencough epidemic, he saves Poppypaw from death by entering her dream and leading her away from StarClan.
 * At the special daytime Gathering, he is angry that he was not allowed to participate in the games, but soon has a feeling of dirt pressing on him, suffocating him. He realizes that Lionpaw must be in trouble, and runs off to find that Breezepaw and Lionpaw had fallen into the old badger den while having a hunting contest. Jaypaw starts trying to dig them out, but he makes little progress until Crowfeather arrives and helps him pull out the two apprentices. They just barely make it.
 * Later, Jaypaw sees into the dream of Firestar, and learns of a prophecy an old cat had made to Firestar; 'There will be three, kin of your kin, who hold the power of the stars in their paws.'

Dark River

 * Jaypaw is unexcited about going to his first Gathering.
 * As he is out collecting herbs one day, he finds a stick which has been stripped of bark and has small scratches along it. He is intrigued by it, and tucks it neatly in the roots of a tree so he can come and examine it later. He dreams, and follows an ancient cat named Fallen Leaves as he journeys through the tunnels to become a sharpclaw. Fallen Leaves is trapped in the tunnels forever after he drowned inside.


 * When his sister, Hollypaw goes missing, he dreams that she went to RiverClan to find out what was wrong. He also shares dreams with Cinderpaw, and finds out that she is the reincarnation of Cinderpelt, and that she has no clue that she is. He tries many times to see if she remembers, but is stopped by his mentor, Leafpool. While Cinderpaw is stuck inside the medicine cats' den, he plays with her from time to time though he only says to keep her quiet. He is happy that she was honest about wondering about his blindness. Soon, he is happy to find that being a medicine cat can be more of a job when Firestar sends him and Leafpool to WindClan to find out if they were really going to have a battle.


 * Later in the book, he goes on a mission to WindClan with Leafpool to see if RiverClan has invaded them. He then goes with Hollypaw and Lionpaw to find the missing WindClan kits- Sedgekit, Thistlekit, and Swallowkit. In the tunnels they meet up with Heatherpaw and Breezepaw who are also looking for the kits; they then join together in a single group. He finds them in the tunnels, and gets help from Fallen Leaves in escaping before the tunnels flood.

Outcast

 * In the beginning of the book, Jaypaw is out with Leafpool finding herbs and tries to contact Rock through the stick, but it doesn't work. Jaypaw runs into Hazelpaw and Berrypaw and Berrypaw complains that Jaypaw couldn't see that he was hunting the bird that flew off. Jaypaw replies that he is blind, and cannot see anything. Jaypaw hears Berrypaw talking with Mousepaw and Poppypaw, and Poppypaw teased Berrypaw by saying that his name was going to be Berrystumpytail, because of his loss of half his tail. Jaypaw thought of Brightheart, but Hollypaw told him that Firestar wouldn't give Berrypaw a name like that.


 * At Hazelpaw, Mousepaw, and Berrypaw's warrior ceremony, he heard Brambleclaw's hiss of annoyance at Berrynose's reaction to his warrior name. He also, before the ceremony, wonders if Leafpool will refer to his blindness to give him his medicine cat name. When Jaypaw goes to the Moonpool, he saw Rock, and when Jaypaw asked Rock where he came from, he told him the answer would lie in the Mountains.


 * Before he went to the mountains, he saw Feathertail in StarClan, who was taking prey for the Tribe of Rushing Water.When Talon and Night, two Tribe cats, visited ThunderClan, Jaypaw went into Stormfur's thoughts and found the memory of Stoneteller exiling Stormfur and Brook for leading the Tribe into a battle they lost many cats over, although it wasn't Stormfur's fault. Brook chose to go with him, though, in her own decision. He and his siblings Lionpaw and Hollypaw go to the mountains to help the Tribe of Rushing Water from trespassing cats.On the way there the old loner Purdy joins them. He was worried about Hollypaw and Lionpaw left him behind when they went to hunt for fresh-kill in a barn. When they reach the Tribe, Jaypaw seems to be the most sensitive about how the Tribe cats felt about the Clan cats changing their lives. Jaypaw also finds out that Stoneteller, the cat who acts as leader and medicine cat, is telling lies about what the Tribe of Endless Hunting is telling him. A while later Jaypaw finds out that the Tribe of Endless Hunting actually has given up on the Tribe of Rushing Water and that the Tribe had come from another location. Jaypaw thinks they might be from the lake. Later in the series he finds out that this is true, that the Tribe did, in fact, come from the lake. Jaypaw also learns some new healing herbs from Stoneteller. He discovers that the Tribe received a prophecy not unlike the one Firestar received, There will be three, kin of your kin, who hold the power of the stars in their paws. At the end of the book, he tells Lionpaw and Hollypaw of the prophecy, and they are very shocked.

Eclipse

 * When Toadkit got scratched by some nettles, Jaypaw made an ointment out of dock leaves but as he was putting it on, Toadkit sent it flying in to the pool of water in the Medicine Cat's den. Jaypaw began to make a new one, and as he was getting some more leaves and tripped over Daisy, he sensed that Toadkit was about to grab his tail, maybe thinking that Jaypaw would not see it coming, being blind, but Jaypaw stopped him, and snapped at him, which caused Toadkit to get a bit frightened and not bother Jaypaw again.


 * When Rock's stick floats out into the lake, Jaypaw tries to swim out and grab it, but he nearly drowns. Firestar happened to be walking by, and he rescued Jaypaw, and at Jaypaw's request, the stick as well.


 * Jaypaw has an idea to get Cinderpaw to swim. This helped her leg because she can move the muscle without needing to put any weight on it. Jaypaw still doesn't like water though due to his recent experience where he nearly drowned.


 * He helps Leafpool with Millie's kitting, which was also his first kitting, and is genuinely happy about the experience. He then receives a vision of choking, deep blackness, which isn't remembered by the other cats.


 * When Sol, a traveler, comes to the camp, Leafpool asked him to talk outside of the camp so that not all the cats would know what he had to say, he tells them that the sun will disappear. StarClan had given them no warning, though, about this.


 * During the battle, Jaypaw tells Leafpool that he's going to get the injured cats back to the camp, and she reluctantly allows him to go into the forest. Jaypaw then helps his fallen Clanmates, and warns Lionpaw that several RiverClan warriors were nearby, ready to attack.


 * After the battle, Jaypaw and his siblings chase down Sol because they wanted help with the prophecy, and Jaypaw was sure Sol knew about it. Sol offered to help, but would not join the Clan, so Jaypaw, Lionpaw and Hollypaw said he could stay just outside of ThunderClan territory and they would give him food, in exchange for training their powers. He agrees to this, but on the way back to their camp they were captured by ShadowClan. Jaypaw, Lionpaw and Hollypaw had not crossed the border yet they were taken back to ShadowClan's camp anyway, where Blackstar said that he thought StarClan had giving up on the Clans, and they should not had come to the lake at all, which was odd that he was willing to voice his doubts so openly in front of cats of another Clan. Sol seems to think he is right and chooses to stay with ShadowClan and not help with the prophecy.


 * He then witnesses his siblings and Cinderpaw gain their warrior names- Hollyleaf, Lionblaze, and Cinderheart.

Long Shadows

 * Jaypaw continues his training as a medicine cat apprentice. In the beginning of the book, he realizes that Briarkit has the same cough as her mother, Millie. He knew that Hollypaw and Lionpaw recieved their warrior names, Lionblaze and Hollyleaf, but he didn't know when Leafpool was going to give him his medicine cat name. Since ShadowClan have lost faith in StarClan, because of Sol, Jaypaw, Hollyleaf, and Lionblaze spy on ShadowClan activity. Jaypaw had a vision of a badger when they were spying and he told Hollyleaf and Lionblaze that it was not safe to be there, so they went back to camp. Runningnose and Raggedstar ask him to help them persuade ShadowClan to return faith in StarClan. He, Lionblaze, Hollyleaf, Flamepaw, Tigerpaw, and Dawnpaw create a fake sign from StarClan. Then Blackstar and Sol came to see the "sign" that the cats left. It turned out to be a real sign when Raggedstar and Runningnose appeared in front of them.
 * In a dream, he enters the tunnels but as he emerges, he gets whisked back in time to become Jay's Wing, a sharpclaw of Fallen Leaves's Tribe. While in the past, he influences the tribe to leave the lake and travel to the mountains. He also meets Half Moon, a she-cat who was in love with Jay's Wing. Jaypaw realizes that this group of cats would become the Tribe of Rushing Water, and is the one to make the deciding vote on whether to go to the mountains or not.
 * When Leafpool sent out Poppyfrost and Jaypaw to look for catmint, they found it all squashed, probably from the fights that have been going on, so they had to find as many new stems as they could. He also receives a message from Brightspirit, who tells him to "seek for the wind." He figures out that this means that there is catmint in WindClan, which ThunderClan needs to help several sick cats, including Firestar and Millie. He confirms this in Kestrelpaw's dream in WindClan. After Lionblaze successfully gains the catmint, Leafpool gives Jaypaw his medicine cat name, Jayfeather. That was a good name because he was dreading the point Leafpool might have called him Jaywing, as which he could never forget the real Jay's Wing. Leafpool may have been thinking of Crowfeather, Jayfeather's father, and named him after the WindClan warrior. During the ceremony, Jayfeather had felt an overwhelming emotion coming from Leafpool.
 * When a fire breaks out in camp Ashfur corners Hollyleaf, Lionblaze, and Jayfeather and tries to kill them. In order to save their lives, Squirrelflight admits they are not her kits, and Ashfur lets them go across.
 * Jayfeather tries to convince Ashfur not to tell all the cats at the Gathering that Squirrelflight and Brambleclaw are not his parents by trying to scare him in a dream. Ashfur is shaken, but Jayfeather's efforts are wasted. After Ashfur's body is found, Jayfeather is surprised to see Leafpool grooming Ashfur's body with great care, and wonders if they were in love, but he quickly denies it to himself.

Sunrise

 * The day that the Sol Patrol leave, Leafpool fusses over Jayfeather after running into the brambles of the medicine den, and he wondered why she cares because he thought they weren't kin. Jayfeather still investigates who his real parents are while the patrol that is looking for Sol is away, and he is the first to find out that Leafpool is his mother. He also takes a walk with his grandmother Sandstorm during which they talk about Sandstorm's concerns about Leafpool.


 * While the other two were finding Sol, he found out through Mousefur and Longtail, and Littlecloud's help that Leafpool gave herself a special herb called parsley that stops queens from having milk if the kits die; she took it because she gave her kits to Squirrelflight. Later on in the book he found out that Crowfeather was his father by Yellowfang coming to him in a dream and giving him a crow's feather after she told him she could tell him who his father was.


 * Hollyleaf had just led Leafpool out of her den when she tried to force her to eat deathberries. Jayfeather tried to talk to her, but she attacked him. Near the end he and his brother, Lionblaze, tried to stop Hollyleaf from leaving the Clans after she announced their secret at the Gathering. She reveals that she killed Ashfur and Jayfeather went in her memories and saw her kill him. After the tunnels collapse, with Hollyleaf inside, Jayfeather worries that since Hollyleaf died that maybe he and Lionblaze weren't part of the prophecy after all, but he then figured out that either Dovekit or Ivykit will be the third one in the prophecy, since they are also related to Firestar.

The Fourth Apprentice

 * On the way back from the Gathering, Jayfeather is seen talking to his brother, Lionblaze. He expresses his opinion about Leopardstar's demands about the drought and RiverClan's claims to the lake, saying that Leopardstar has bees in her brain. He tells Lionblaze that Leopardstar had lost two of her lives recently: one from a thorn scratch that got infected and then she caught some kind of illness that made her very thirsty and weak. He argues with Lionblaze saying that the only way for peace to come is for the lake to fill up again.
 * Jayfeather reveals that in the time between Sunrise and this book, Firestar lost a life from being attacked by a fox; Jayfeather tried to save his leader but was unable, and realized how nervous he was as the only medicine cat, as Leafpool had become a warrior because she had kits.


 * When Spiderleg and Berrynose get caught in the mud near the shrunken lakeshore, Thornclaw looks for a branch to pry them out, and finds Rock's stick. Jayfeather stops him from using it, furious, but then lets Thornclaw borrow it as long as he returned it without anything different.


 * Soon, Lionblaze discovers that his apprentice, Dovepaw, is able to see and hear things far away, when she tells some warriors about 'big brown animals blocking the stream.' He quickly takes her aside, and then gets Jayfeather to tell him that he thinks that she is the One. After quickly testing her skills, Jayfeather agrees that she is likely the One. Overwhelmed, Dovepaw protests to being special, but Jayfeather tells her that no matter what she thinks, she has to step up and work on her powers so she can fulfil the prophecy and save the Clans. It is very hard for Dovepaw to accept that Ivypaw does not have powers.


 * Later, when Lionblaze convinced Firestar, who convinced the other leaders to agree to send a patrol upstream to see if there really are animals blocking the water from the lake, Lionblaze and Dovepaw are both chosen to go on the patrol, along with cats from the other three Clans. Jayfeather feels somewhat abandoned, and unintentionally sees one of Leafpool's memories, when she had been left behind as Squirrelflight, then an apprentice, and Brambleclaw left to the Sun-Drown Place.


 * He goes to the lakeshore to find the stick and see if the ancient cats could offer him some guidance, but like most times, he's unable to understand their voices. While he is there Breezepelt appears and confronts him, telling him that he is on the WindClan side of the border. Breezepelt reveals to Jayfeather that he blames Leafpool for all the trouble he has been receiving from his Clanmates; he says that if Leafpool hadn't left Crowfeather, and hadn't kept this secret, things would be different. A WindClan patrol and a ThunderClan patrol arrive before Breezepelt can take his anger out on Jayfeather.


 * Cinderheart comes to Jayfeather, worrying about Poppyfrost. She says that Poppyfrost seems depressed, but she isn't sure exactly why. Jayfeather suggests it's because she's still grieving for Honeyfern, and Cinderheart agrees, and blurts out that she misses Hollyleaf as well.


 * The next morning, Ferncloud and Daisy tell Jayfeather that Poppyfrost has gone missing; she isn't anywhere to be found in camp. Jayfeather follows Poppyfrost's scent trail out of camp to the Moonpool, but he also scents Breezepelt, as if he were following her. Jayfeather reaches Poppyfrost, and she admits she was trying to get into StarClan somehow to talk to Honeyfern because she misses her sister so much. He tells her how she was nearly in StarClan before, but he brought her back, and he tells her there's no way to visit again without getting hurt or sick.


 * Breezepelt confronts them then, revealing that he has held a grudge against Jayfeather and Lionblaze since their true parents were revealed. He wants Jayfeather to know the feeling of other cats whispering about him behind his back, so he declares that he will kill Poppyfrost and make it seem like Jayfeather had done so. Jayfeather tells Poppyfrost to run, and leaps at Breezepelt. However, he can do little to hold him off until another scent appears beside him. Honeyfern has come from StarClan and helps to fight off Breezepelt and the unknown cat who was with him. After the battle, Yellowfang appears and tells Jayfeather that she can't reveal the unknown cat's identity yet, although she knows it.


 * Confused and frustrated, he once again returns to Rock's stick. Rock appears to him, and reveals that he knew Jayfeather's true parents all along. Feeling betrayed, Jayfeather takes the stick, puts it on a sharp rock and snaps it in half with his paws, likely breaking his connection with Rock forever.


 * When Lionblaze and Dovepaw return, Jayfeather explains to Lionblaze what happened with Breezepelt. Lionblaze is shocked and horrified. Soon, Poppyfrost's kitting comes, and Jayfeather helps her give birth to a son and daughter. After the kits are born, Jayfeather sees Tigerstar, Hawkfrost and a third cat, which he identifies by scent to be the one who fought him with Breezepelt. Lionblaze can see the cats too and tells them to back off, and that they can't do anything to the kits. Jayfeather is surprised and Lionblaze finally tells Jayfeather how Tigerstar trained him in his dreams, and that he suspects Tigerheart is receiving the same training, as he used a move in battle that Lionblaze recognized easily as one of Tigerstar's special moves. Jayfeather and Lionblaze begin to suspect that the boundaries between the dead ancestors and the real world are breaking, because the unknown cat and Honeyfern were able to appear physically- and that there will soon be an all out war between the Dark Forest and StarClan. Both of them suspect that Breezepelt had been recruited by the Dark Forest against StarClan.

Fading Echoes

 * Jayfeather is first seen when Dovepaw awakes him about her sensing cats on the lakeshore. After asking her to describe them, he recognizes them as Mistyfoot and Mothwing, feeling their grief for their leader Leopardstar who died. He tells Dovepaw to not tell Firestar as he is still asleep. Dovepaw questions him does the deputy always becomes leader and he tells her that sometimes a cat can challenge if they feel they fit the role better, like Mudclaw's incident. The apprentice is worried if Mistyfoot would be challenged but Jayfeather calms her telling her no cat will because Hawkfrost is now gone; he explains to her who the two cats were as she had never heard of them before. Dovepaw presses on about telling Firestar, but he counters her, saying how would she explain that she knew of Leopardstar's death. He knew it would be stupid to say she had been dreaming of another Clan leader. He tells her that she must not tell of their powers as Firestar doesn't even know that they are the three. During this, he is busy sorting through herbs. He can detect Dovepaw's depression and worry after the lost of Rippletail's death as he's sure this isn't what had awaken her from her sleep. When Dovepaw is worried that he is reading her thoughts, he explains he can feel it off of her and to not worry. Rippletail's destiny was to go to fight the beavers and die as it was the path that StarClan laid out for him. He finally gets rid of the apprentice by telling her to go do patrols as Brambleclaw would be looking for her.


 * Jayfeather is heard by Dovepaw while she is at the lake with a border patrol. She sees him claw furiously at his flank as he lets out a wail of pain.


 * Jayfeather is confused what could have possibly stabbed him in his side as he didn't see anything. He thinks it could possibly have to do with his powers and he could feel what Mistyfoot was going through as she received her lives. This comforted him and the pain began to ease away. He checks on Poppyfrost back at camp seeing her worries about Berrynose being far gone. He also sees a little into Firestar's dream and knows that he had been out night hunting with his mate, Sandstorm. He is comfortable with the fact Molekit and Cherrykit don't trip over their words, especially when they constantly tell him to watch what they do. He is glad when Mothwing and Mistystar show up in camp to give their news on Leopardstar's death. By Firestar's orders, he gives the cats strengthening herbs.


 * When Dovepaw and Ivypaw go to WindClan, he is asked by Firestar to remain with Lionblaze and Dovepaw after Cinderheart and Ivypaw are dismissed. Firestar begins to tell them about the prophecy about the Three, and Jayfeather cuts in and says that they already knew, and had known since they were apprentices. He is fustrated when Firestar says that he knows no more than they do, since he thought that Firestar would know more because he was given the prophecy. Jayfeather feels hopeless about finding out what their destinies were. Firestar assures him by saying that he will give them their full support.


 * Later, Jayfeather and Lionblaze are discussing which cats may join the Dark Forest, and he decides to spy on Flametail at the next visit to the Moonpool (to see if he know anything about whether or not Tigerheart is training with Tigerstar). Yellowfang catches him, and when he explains, they venture into the Dark Forest with Spottedleaf. They run into Brokentail, and he goes into Yellowfang's memories and see that Brokentail is her son. When he exclaims that Brokentail is her son, she just replies, "Mistakes happen." Later, once Brokentail leaves, Spottedleaf tells Yellowfang to go back to StarClan, where she's loved, and later they see Tigerstar, Shredtail, and Snowtuft. He tries to fight Tigerstar, then finally stops and simply allows Spottedleaf to do the talking. As they leave, he feels sick when he hears Snowtuft yowling because Shredtail attacked him again.


 * When the tree falls on the camp, he tells Rosepetal what herbs he needed her to get from his stores and he began to treat the cats. When Briarlight is hurt by the falling tree, he goes to ShadowClan to seek help from Littlecloud, after Leafpool suggests it. When Briarlight was in critical state, he hissed at Leafpool, asking whether or not she was going to help. Immediately, she expertly jumps onto the job, and Jayfeather notes that she looks more focused than she has in moons. Later, he admits to Lionblaze that he wishes that she was still a medicine cat, that the clan needs her more than she knows, and that he won't take on an apprentice until she's died. When he goes to Littlecloud, Squirrelflight is his escort, and they both flare up at each other when she tries to share a story with him about his kithood, and she tells him that his pain is not the hardest to bear. He then decides to follow Littlecloud's advice, and Briarlight appears to recover, though her legs remain nonfunctional. He tries to keep Briarlight positive, but is often pestered by the over-protective Millie.


 * He and Lionblaze try to tell Dovepaw about the Dark Forest and to make her spy on cats, but Dovepaw doesn't respond well to that information. She runs off, and he wonders why Hollyleaf couldn't have been the third cat.


 * When he first hears about Ivypaw's dream, he begins to mentally go through the herb store, remembering what herbs he would need and trying to figure out if he had enough of those herbs.
 * After the battle, he is distraught at the mass of injuries, and along with Lionblaze, realizes that the battle never should have happened. The two brothers wonder whether the Dark Forest had something to do with it.

Cats of the Clans

 * The narrator of this guide, Rock, says that Firestar has waited a long time for the birth of these kits. Not in hope, but in dread; what would happen when three kits are born with a power greater than StarClan's?


 * Jaypaw is the blind medicine cat apprentice who can see in his dreams, and in others too. He was destined to be a medicine cat, with his knowledge for herbs and instinct for StarClan's portents. Rock adds that dreams are private, however, and would hate to be disturbed while he was sleeping.


 * Rock ends with a final piece of advice for Mosskit, Blossomkit and Adderkit;


 * "Three young cats, with starlight in their eyes and the whisper of an ancient wind in their fur. Just remember this: power is neither good nor bad, but its user makes it so."

Battles of the Clans

 * Jayfeather does not make an appearance, but he is noted as being ThunderClan's full time medicine cat in the ThunderClan facts. Heathertail also mentions that he is among the cats in other Clans that knew about the tunnels; the other two cats being Lionblaze and Hollyleaf.

Brightspirit's Mercy

 * In this play, Brightspirit, Braveheart, and Shiningheart appeared to Jaypaw to tell him to share some of ThunderClan's plentiful prey with the other Clans, who were starving during leaf-bare. Although his brother Lionblaze is skeptical of the idea of helping the enemy Clans, Brightspirit tells Jaypaw to listen to his heart and show mercy to the others. He convinces his siblings to help him and they save the other Clans. Later, although Jaypaw doesn't hear, Braveheart says that the apprentice has a difficult path ahead of him, to which Brightspirit replies that she will stay with him every step of the way.

Ultimate Leader Election: Firestar

 * He is the one to suggest casting the stones to pick who the leader of the four united Clans will be; this is something he got from his experience as Jay's Wing in Long Shadows. Through the vote involving every cat in all the Clans, Firestar is chosen as the leader of all the Clans for that time.
 * He also measures the length of the lines on each side of the stick.

Erin Hunter Chat

 * It was confirmed that Leafpool named Jayfeather after his father, Crowfeather.
