Patchpelt

Patchpelt is a small, black-and-white tom with amber eyes.

Into the Wild

 * In Into the Wild, Patchpelt is an elder. He claimed to have climbed to the top of The Great Sycamore when he was an apprentice. Firepaw and Graypaw were amazed, until Lionheart stated, "Mind you, it was probably still a sapling when he was an apprentice!". He does not have a very large role in this book.

Fire and Ice

 * Patchpelt is mentioned in the allegiances, but does not play a very large role in the book.

Forest of Secrets

 * He, along with the rest of the elders, develops a friendship with Cloudkit.
 * Also, at a Gathering, after Fireheart is snapped at by Crowfur, a WindClan elder, Patchpelt reassures the young warrior, by saying that Crowfur would find fault with StarClan.

Rising Storm

 * Patchpelt, along with the other elders, was worried that Fireheart's corrupted deputy ceremony was a bad omen. Later, during the drought of Greenleaf, he came up with the idea of soaking moss in the stream to bring back water for the Queens, Willowpelt and Goldenflower.


 * He later died from too much smoke inhalation during the fire. He was trying to get Halftail out of the fire but collapsed. Fireheart pulled him to the river to help him, but he died shortly after. Leopardfur swam his dead body across the river so his Clan could grieve for him, and he was buried in RiverClan territory, to most of ThunderClan's displeasure.

Bluestar's Prophecy

 * The first time Patchkit is mentioned is at the beginning of the book when Swiftbreeze asks why Bluekit's eyes haven't opened stating that her kits, Leopardkit and Patchkit's eyes were open "the minute they were born." Moonflower replies "Of course no kit can compete with yours Swiftbreeze.".  Patchkit is shown being five moons older than Bluekit and Snowkit. He and his sister, Leopardkit, show Bluekit and Snowkit around camp, only being able to show them the apprentice den and Dapplepaw until the kits slip away. He then brings up to Dapplepaw that she promised to take them to the Sandy Hollow, but she objects saying that she never did. Instead she takes them to the ravine.   When Adderfang, his father comes back from a patrol he plays with his kits.  It is noted through the book that Adderfang and Swiftbreeze think their kits are the best and Adderfang always brings home something to play with.


 * The next day he is seen receiving his apprentice name, Patchpaw, and mentor, Fuzzypelt. During his ceremony, Pinestar mentions that he can see the courage in his eyes just like his father's, Adderfang. When cats are being chosen for the battle against WindClan, Patchpaw is discouraged to find that Pinestar picks Leopardpaw over him. He is to, instead, stay and protect the camp. Leopardpaw tells him the hardest thing he will have to worry about is keeping Thistlekit quiet. He later gets his warrior name, Patchpelt, along with Leopardfoot, and is not mentioned much afterwards except that he was given Whitepaw as an apprentice.  At the end of the book he goes to the elders den along with many of his Clanmates.
