Tom with a black pelt
History

A WindClan patrol is still taking water from RiverClan's river, despite the rain. The tom is part of a RiverClan patrol with Mistyfoot and Hawkfrost. They pad down a slope and stop a few tail-lengths away from the WindClan patrol. The WindClan patrol eventually start to leave, hissing at the WindClan patrol. Leafpaw, who is viewing from ThunderClan, notes that Mistyfoot has her work cut out holding back Hawkfrost and her black-furred Clanmate, as they were badly out-numbered. When the WindClan patrol has gone, Mistyfoot gathers Hawkfrost and the black warrior to lead them down beside the river. Mistyfoot goes to speak to Leafpaw but the black tom stays where he is, keeping guard beside the riverbank. After they talk, Leafpaw watches the black tom and the rest of the patrol pad away upriver.

Purdy's upwalker
History

Squirrelpaw asks Purdy if he lives with Twolegs and he explains he used to live with an Upwalker. The Upwalker would have provided him with a fire to sleep next to and all the food he could eat. Feathertail asks what name he had when he lived with his Upwalker who had the fire. Purdy first explains his Upwalker died. He notes there was no longer any food, or any strokes from him by the fire, or sleeping on his lap. Squirrelpaw asks again what the Upwalker called him and he revealed it was Purdy.

Purdy mentions to Hollypaw that his Upwalker died. Many moons later, Lionblaze recalls how Purdy said his Upwalker died. Later, Purdy tells Jayfeather his Upwalker was very friendly. He was also well trained. He was especially well trained when it got cold and hunting was difficult. He always made sure Purdy had something tasty to eat and a fire to warm him up. Many moons later, Purdy is telling a story to Hollyleaf about a fox that wondered through his Upwalker’s garden. He hid under a holly bush next to his Upwalker’s fence. Many moons later, Purdy says to Briarlight he’ll tell her how he chased a dog out of his Upwalker’s garden. Later, Purdy is reminded of when he lived with his Upwalker.
