Smokepaw (TNP)

Smokepaw is a dark gray tom.

Midnight

 * His mentor is listed as Oakfur.

Dawn

 * When Twoleg monsters come to tear up ShadowClan's camp, Blackstar helps Smokepaw escape, saying that he wouldn't let him die, before leaving him in the care of Squirrelpaw, a ThunderClan apprentice. Smokepaw is frozen with fear, and doesn't try to move to escape, as he watches his camp being destroyed. Squirrelpaw, in a desperate attempt to help him out of camp, drags him out of the once-peaceful ShadowClan camp, by the scruff of his neck. Afterwards, Smokepaw goes with the rest of his Clan to stay at Sunningrocks with ThunderClan.


 * Smokepaw joins the Clans on the Great Journey. While in the mountains, the Clans are traveling along a very narrow path; part of the cliff breaks and Smokepaw slips, but manages to get a pawhold on one of the ledges. Russetfur lunges for him, but her weight makes more of the cliff crumble. Unable to hold on any longer, Smokepaw falls to his death. Nightwing, Smokepaw's mother, is devastated, and leans over the edge. Stormfur, a RiverClan warrior, pulls her back to safety. Blackstar tells Smokepaw's mother that Smokepaw would not have survived the fall, and they could not reach his body for burial, so they must continue on their journey, but he will be honored, and would never be forgotten.


 * Later, the deceased apprentice is briefly mentioned when Squirrelpaw tells some Cave Guards about the Clans' troubles getting through the mountains.

Trivia

 * There has been much confusion over whether Smokepaw is the same cat as Smokefoot, a ShadowClan warrior who appeared in the Power of Three series. Many people suspected that Smokepaw was mistakenly brought back to life and made into a warrior as Smokefoot, but in Erin Hunter Chat 7, Vicky confirmed that Smokepaw and Smokefoot are not the same cat. This is quite strange, as before, she said that at a tour somebody gave her a fan manga called "Smokefoot's Destiny," about how he was still alive. She claimed that it was what happened.
 * Smokepaw is mistakenly called a RiverClan apprentice when Leafpaw is thinking about Longtail jumping over the gap Smokepaw left when he fell.
 * In the book Secrets of the Clans, in ShadowClan's lake home, Tawnypelt is shown with Smokepaw watching twolegs with their boats. This is incorrect, as it is in the ShadowClan Lake Territory, and Smokepaw fell off the cliff in the Great Journey, before ShadowClan reached their Lake home.
