Tawnypelt

Tawnypelt is a tortoiseshell she-cat with green eyes.

Forest of Secrets - Rising Storm

 * Tawnykit and Bramblekit where born to Goldenflower by Tigerclaw. She ventured from the nursery for the first time in the company of her mother. Durrng the trip her brother catches a mouse.


 * During the fire that sweeps through ThunderClan territory she is led to safety by her mother.

A Dangerous Path

 * When Tigerstar became leader of ShadowClan she opted to leave ThunderClan and follow him. When Tigerstar revealed his ambitions, however, she stood by her new Clan rather than her sire.

The Darkest Hour

 * When Tigerstar leaves Scourge and his BloodClan into the forest she stands with ShadowClan as a member of LionClan.

Firestar's Quest

 * She is spoken about by her brother Bramblepaw during his final assessment as an apprentice. Bramblepaw wonders about when her ceremony will be, and if she'll be made a Warrior soon. Firestar reassures him that Oakfur will have been training her well, and becuase she is his age she'll probobly be made a warrior soon.


 * Firestar's suspicion is verified when she introduces herself to the newly named Brambleclaw as Tawnypelt at a gathering.

Midnight

 * In Midnight, she is chosen by Nightstar of StarClan to be the ShadowClan cat to journey to speak with Midnight the badger. During the trek, Tawnypelt gets bitten on her shoulder by a rat, and limps painfully for most of the time. The cats eventually find burdock root, thanks to Leafpool and Squirrelflight's special bond, and Tawnypelt's wound is temporarily soothed. When they meet Midnight, the badger continues to cure Tawnypelt's wound with some burdock root.

Moonrise

 * In Moonrise, the wound breaks open again, and Teller of the Pointed Stones cures her with his own herbs.

Dawn

 * In Dawn, Tawnypelt runs to ThunderClan camp, and begs them to help her when the Twolegs are attacking ShadowClan. ThunderClan agrees to help, and ShadowClan eventually shelters with ThunderClan since their camp is destroyed. Throughout the entire series, Tawnypelt doesn't seem to be aware that Hawkfrost and Mothwing are her half siblings, but it was mentioned in Dawn that they are Tigerstar's children to all the Clans by Hawkfrost's and Mothwing's mother, Sasha, so it seems she doesn't pay attention to them like Brambleclaw does.

Starlight

 * Tawnypelt helped to explore the new territories for all the Clans when they reached the lake, and helped to discover her own Clan's new home. Despite difficulties finding a good home for ShadowClan, she eventually found one. In Starlight, Tawnypelt's role is small. Unlike Brambleclaw, Tawnypelt does not acknowledge that Hawkfrost is her half-brother, and unlike most of ShadowClan's warriors, Tawnypelt does not help Mudclaw with his coup.

Twilight

 * In Twilight, Squirrelflight sees Tawnypelt being attacked by a hostile kittypet that lives in their territory. She explains to Squirrelflight how the kittypet and his tabby friend gave an apprentice, Talonpaw, such serious injuries that he died soon after dragging himself back to camp. The kittypets' Twolegs also threw something at Cedarheart, breaking his leg. Together, ThunderClan and ShadowClan come up with a plan to stop the kittypets from attacking ShadowClan without their Twolegs interfering. When their plan is successful, Blackstar thanks ThunderClan and Onestar angrily calls Blackstar and Leopardstar terrible leaders for depending so much on ThunderClan.

Sunset

 * In Sunset, we discover that Tawnypelt, like Hawkfrost and Brambleclaw, is visited by Tigerstar, yet she is the only one to reject him. While Brambleclaw is watching she tells Tigerstar that he only became leader by twisting the warrior code out of proportion in order to get what he wants. She then tells Brambleclaw that he should stop listening to Tigerstar because he had been accepting everything they had tried to avoid since they were kits. She even tells him she was happy that Tigerstar was killed by Scourge after discovering the tyrant he was. Also, until Sunset, she doesn't seem phased when Brambleclaw mentions that he shares his dreams with Hawkfrost.

The Sight

 * In The Sight, Tawnypelt is listed as a queen in the Allegiances.

Authors' Notes

 * In an Author Chat at Wands & Worlds the authors announced her mate was Rowanclaw, a character who had (due to author error) spent time as the incorrect gender.
