Ebonyclaw

Ebonyclaw is a long leggedstrikingly black she-cat with a collar that she tucks moss beneath to keep her bell quiet while hunting.

SkyClan's Destiny

 * Ebonyclaw is a daylight-warrior; she serves SkyClan during the day, but she goes home to her Twolegs at night.


 * Ebonyclaw makes her first appearance when Shrewtooth calls out an alarm, accidentally thinking that she and the other daylight-warriors were intruders. Ebonyclaw is disappointed that she missed Tinycloud, Bouncefire, and Rockshade's warrior ceremony. She explains that Harveymoon and Frecklepaw had been shut inside their nests and that they hadn't been able to get out. She comforts Snookpaw, who is disappointed that he missed the ceremony.


 * She later sees Fallowfern's four kits, Nettlekit, Plumkit, Creekkit, and Rabbitkit tumbling around, and she comments that StarClan must be looking out for them.


 * When Sharpclaw puts Ebonyclaw into a border patrol, Ebonyclaw and Leafstar both notice an edge to the deputy's tone. Ebonyclaw says nothing, though, and dips her head respectfully befores she went to join Bouncefire and Sparrowpelt. Leafstar later reprimands Sharpclaw for his rudeness.


 * When it begins to snow, Leafstar asks her, along with Billystorm, to stay because it was snowing so hard. Billystorm refuses and goes home anyway, but Ebonyclaw decides to stay to help, which pleases her Clanmates.


 * Leafstar chooses Ebonyclaw to go check out the caves farther up the gorge along with Rockshade, Bouncefire, Mintpaw, Sagepaw, and Snookpaw. Ebonyclaw sticks her head into the nearest gap and reports that it's small. Leafstar tells her she forgot to do something, and Rockshade reminds her she should have listened and sniffed first. Leafstar allows Ebonyclaw to inspect the second cave, the right way. Once they reach the larger cave, Ebonyclaw mentions that it is safe and nothing will sneak up on them.


 * When they take a break, Rockshade comments that "some of them" weren't as strong as the cats with SkyClan blood, meaning the daylight-warriors. Ebonyclaw exchanges a glance with Snookpaw.


 * Ebonyclaw is seen with Frecklepaw outside of the new caves while Macgyver and Harveymoon are being exiled from the Clan for a moon because of how they were acting.


 * Ebonyclaw joins a training session with Leafstar, Sharpclaw, Sparrowpelt, Waspwhisker, Mintpaw, Billystorm, Tinycloud, Frecklepaw, Bouncefire, Snookpaw, and Petalnose. After Frecklepaw makes a good suggestion, Ebonyclaw praises her.


 * Ebonyclaw grows annoyed when Frecklepaw helps Echosong and starts being late for training sessions because of helping in the medicine den. Ebonyclaw is worried about Shrewtooth, and approaches Leafstar to ask her to make sure that he is all right.


 * She, along with the other daylight-warriors complain about missing the battle with the rats and the battle with the cruel Twoleg. She understands better than the rest, but is still upset. She doesn't speak to Sharpclaw much, but only curtly nods when he talks to her.

The Rescue

 * Ebonyclaw returns from a patrol with Mintfur and Shrewtooth. After Mintfur explains to Sharpclaw about the patrol, she tells her clanmates that she learned a trick she did with branches on the patrol from her Twoleg who did the same trick with sticks when part of the backyard flooded. Many cats congratulate her cunning and wits, causing Ebonyclaw to become embarassed, saying it was nothing.

Trivia

 * Ebonyclaw is one of the first she-cats shown to have warrior names ending with -claw along with Frostclaw, Willowclaw, and Brindleclaw.
