Lichenfur

Lichenfur is a mottled gray she-cat with a rumpled pelt and amber eyes.

Firestar's Quest

 * Lichen is a loner who is friends with Scratch. After Scratch and Firestar tell her about a meeting where cats could learn about Clan life, she agrees to go.


 * Lichen goes to the meeting, but is too shy to join SkyClan. She refuses politely but firmly, and wishes them well saying that she doesn't feel comfortable around a large group of cats. Firestar seems particularly dismayed when she rejects the offer to join, for he thinks she would have made a good warrior.


 * Later, when the Clan is deciding where SkyClan's borders will be, Sharpclaw suggests that they make the stream one of the borders, so that Lichen and Rainfur's dens would be outside of SkyClan territory, and therefore they will not be disturbed or have to fight over prey with the Clan.

SkyClan's Destiny

 * Lichenfur joins SkyClan about three moons after Firestar and Sandstorm left. She moves into the elders' den and seems to fit in with her Clan mates.


 * She is first seen sharing tongues on a flat rock out in the sun with her denmate, Tangle, who was a former rogue, now an elder along with Lichenfur. The two seem to get along very well.


 * When the four rogue visitors arrive, Lichenfur is hostile and glares at them. She asks Leafstar if squirrels had been "passing whispers through trees." The SkyClan leader explains that they knew Firestar and Sandstorm. Her only response is a grunted, "maybe."

The Rescue

 * Lichenfur watches Rabbitleap teach a move to three apprentices. She asks if he planned on landing on his prey and squashing it to death, to which Waspwhisker replies that she shouldn't be rude. Leafstar says that Lichenfur rarely has anything nice to say, but never means any harm. Soon after, Ebonyclaw's patrol returns, reporting that they had discovered a trail of fox scent. Lichenfur remarks that Ebonyclaw's idea for marking the trail was good for a daylight-warrior.


 * Later, Nettlesplash and Sandypaw are punished for eating Twoleg food, and are forced to clean Lichenfur's and Tangle's nest and to check for ticks.

Trivia

 * Lichenfur, as listed in the allegiances of SkyClan's Destiny, is described as mottled gray, while in Firestar's Quest she is described as mottled brown. However, that could be because she aged and her fur faded, as she is warrior age in Firestar's Quest, but an elder in SkyClan's Destiny or it is not the same Lichen in the books.
