Cinderheart

Cinderheart is a fluffy gray tabby she-cat with blue eyes.

Twilight

 * Cinderkit and her siblings Molekit, Honeykit and Poppykit are born to Sorreltail and Brackenfur during the badger attack on ThunderClan's camp. When Sorreltail is kitting, Cinderpelt, who is there to help with the kitting, is killed by a badger. Cinderkit was named after her.

Sunset

 * Cinderkit does not appear very often in this book, except when she is seen padding out of the nursery, followed by Brightheart. It is revealed to Leafpool by Spottedleaf that it is very likely that Cinderkit is the reincarnation of the old medicine cat, Cinderpelt. Leafpool thanks Spottedleaf for this. StarClan gave Cinderpelt another chance to be a warrior, as Cinderheart.

The Sight

 * In The Sight, the newly apprenticed Cinderpaw is one of Hollypaw's closest friends. Several cats, particularly Leafpool and Brackenfur, notice that she shares several personality traits and tendencies with the late Cinderpelt - such as the way she flicks her paw over her ear.

Dark River

 * When she and Hollypaw went looking for Lionpaw at night, she remarks that Lionpaw may be doing something he will live to regret, and that he is making a mistake that has been made before, referring to the numerous forbidden relationships in the series. Later, she climbs up a tree to save Mousepaw (later Mousewhisker), who chased a squirrel and got stuck, and then falls and breaks her hind leg. Furthermore, Cinderpaw tells Hollypaw she is afraid of badgers and hopes she will never have to meet one again, despite never seeing one before this point. While she is recovering in Leafpool's den, she talks about the old ThunderClan Camp, telling Jaypaw what was where and how she remembered it in Leafpool's den, so Jaypaw enters her dreams. Here, Cinderpaw is walking around the camp, and Jaypaw wonders how she can remember this camp so much. She then suddenly appears much older and wiser, and tells Jaypaw to tell Leafpool that Cinderpaw will recover this time, and that Leafpool is doing a good job and has learned more than Cinderpelt could have taught her. When Cinderpaw wakes up the next morning she vaguely recalls Jaypaw being in a dream with her in a forest (the old ThunderClan camp), but Jaypaw reassures her that it was just a dream. Cinderpaw, despite being confined to the medicine cat den, was constantly asking Hollypaw and Jaypaw to play catch with her, much to Leafpool's despair.

Outcast

 * She continues to train, and Cloudtail, her mentor, shows concern about her injured leg, fearing that it is not completely healed. She does not like the concerns, because she feels that it is healed, though it obviously pains her at times. Hollypaw, her best friend, tells Cinderpaw her plan about concentrating on one thing so she could be a better warrior. Cinderpaw said that it was mouse-brained, but then apologized, yet advised her friend not to do it.

Eclipse

 * Cinderpaw has her assessment to finally become a warrior. While leaping for a squirrel, her injured leg buckled and is injured again. This time Cinderpaw is very discouraged because her sisters get to become warriors before her, and she wanted to do the warriors vigil with them. She stays in Leafpool's den for a while, not wanting to move the leg. When Jaypaw comes up with the idea of swimming, she says it might help, so she tries it. The swimming strengthened up her leg a lot, enough for her to walk easily.


 * She gossips with Hollypaw that she has been seeing Whitewing and Birchfall starting to share tongues together.


 * When WindClan attacked, she stayed back in the medicine cat den, but would attack if she had to. At the end of the battle, Cinderpaw gains her warrior name, Cinderheart, in honor of those who have been lost, along with Hollyleaf and Lionblaze. She seems to be happy after her long wait.

Long Shadows

 * Cinderheart is mentioned only briefly throughout this book. Near the beginning Hollyleaf joins her on a border patrol led by Ashfur; while they are on it Cinderheart confesses to her that she does not like going this way because of the recent battle in Eclipse. When the patrol finds Tawnypelt and her three kits, Cinderheart is amused when the kits chant Hollyleaf’s name, and jokes with her friend that she has three new apprentices. Much later in the book, she is seen coming into camp with a hunting patrol, and her weariness, caused by the growing number of sick cats, is sensed by Jaypaw.


 * Later, when Firestar has suggested all the sick cats shelter in the abandoned Twoleg nest, Cinderheart is one cat to agree with him, willing to try it. The last time she is mentioned is when she is seen working on the Twoleg nest, stuffing gaps with twigs to keep out the cold, along with Brackenfur.

Sunrise

 * Cinderheart is very little seen in Sunrise. She expressed disbelief when Purdy sticks up for Sol, saying that he was seen near the WindClan border. Later, when her sister Honeyfern is bitten by a snake, she runs to her and is horrified when she dies.


 * When Hollyleaf announces who her real parents are, Cinderheart shows disappointment in her friend, saying that she had only caused more pain. She is shown to be more like Cinderpelt in this moment.
