Bumblestripe

Bumblestripe is a very pale gray tom with black stripes like a bumblebee's, and a torn ear.

Eclipse

 * Bumblestripe is first seen as a young kit, with the name of Bumblekit, brother of two.


 * Bumblekit is born to Millie, along with his two sisters, Briarkit and Blossomkit. He is the biggest kit in the litter and looks a lot like his father, Graystripe, except for the abundance of black stripes on his back. He is named Bumblekit because Graystripe thinks that the stripes on his back make him look like a bumblebee.


 * Later, when there's an attack on ThunderClan, Bumblekit and his siblings hide with Millie, Daisy, Rosekit, and Toadkit. It is mentioned that during the attack he and his sisters are calmed down by Rosekit who tells them stories. He and Briarkit are then carried back to the nursery by their father, while Blossomkit has fallen asleep on Mousefur.


 * Millie also allows Bumblekit to watch his first warrior naming ceremony for Cinderheart, Hollyleaf, and Lionblaze.

Long Shadows

 * Bumblekit misses his mother and sister when they have to be quarantined from the other cats during the greencough epidemic. He and Blossomkit are cared for by Daisy.


 * Later, when fire strikes the forest, Bumblekit is taken to safety by Brambleclaw.

Sunrise

 * Bumblekit is seen telling Millie that he's scared that Sol will come and capture him.


 * Bumblekit is also seen saying that deathberries look tasty when Leafpool comes to show them to the kits, warning them not to eat any if they see them.


 * His sister, Briarkit, is nearly bitten by a snake, but Honeyfern, who is nearby, saves her and is bitten by the snake instead, dying moments later.

The Fourth Apprentice

 * Bumblepaw is now a young apprentice, along with his siblings, and his mentor is Mousewhisker.


 * When he and Ivypaw awake to Dovepaw's flailing in her sleep, he irritatedly tells Dovepaw that she had kicked moss all over him, much to Dovepaw's embarrassment. But he is good-natured about it, and soon forgets the incident.
 * Bumblepaw comes back with Brackenfur, Dustpelt and Leafpool from a hunting patrol, and is mentioned carrying prey while Leafpool has none.


 * Later, when Jayfeather teaches the apprentices about herbs, Bumblepaw asks if "we should look out for dock on long journeys", thus annoying Ivypaw who had been reminded of her sister's absence.


 * Bumblepaw is seen play-fighting with his siblings when Lionblaze and Dovepaw return from their quest. He and his siblings welcome Dovepaw back warmly and show her the nest they made for her, all covered in moss and feathers making it extremely comfortable. They then tell Dovepaw that she is a hero.

Fading Echoes

 * At the very beginning of the book, Firestar gives Bumblepaw and his siblings their warrior assessment. The siblings pass the assessment- but before they become warriors, Bumblepaw's sister, Briarpaw, is crippled when a tree falls into the camp. After he and his sisters earn their warrior names, he is seen grieving over his sister's injury.
 * When a group of cats, including him, is having a practice battle in camp, he is stopped by Ivypaw as he is trying to win for his patrol. Suddenly, he seems to lose all will to fight, and just looks sorrowful. Ivypaw wonders if it's a trick to free himself, but Bumblestripe is lamenting on how his sister, so unfairly paralyzed, would have loved participating in the mock-battle. Ivypaw tries to comfort him, and he is somewhat cheered up.


 * At the start of the book he remarks at the battlefield that 'we showed them'. He is later seen sleeping in the apprentice den because the warriors den is full. He vists his sister Briarlight in the medicine cat den throughout the book. Bumblestripe brings lots of cobwebs for Jayfeather's store. When Jayfeather asks if his torn ear is hurting, he says it just hurt a bit, and that in this weather, everyone's ear tips are hurting. When Jayfeather asks if Briarlight has done her exersices, Bumblestripe tells him that she has already been to the fresh kill pile. He is mentioned when the warriors den is being extended when Foxleap says there will be enough room for Blossomfall and Bumblestripe when its finished. When the den is finshed, both warriors move in. When Dovepaw appears from her den, Bumblestripe is seen in the clearing. Firestar then tells him to go hunting. A few days later he is sent on a hunt again. Later on in the book he shares a robin with her littermates. When Ivypaw is scratched Bumblestripe asks what all the noise is. He is seen again in Jayfeathers den telling Briarlight what had happened to Ivypaw. Jayfeather tells him to keep Briarlight company while he goes out. Bumblestripe is later confined to his nest because he is coughing. He is mentioned when Sorreltail and Daisy are discusing the sick cats.

Battles of the Clans

 * He appears as an apprentice, having just learned ThunderClan's special battle technique, called the Lightning Strike. Mousewhisker and Thornclaw taught it to him, and he is now eager to show it to Dovepaw and Ivypaw. He gives a brief demonstration on Dovepaw and Ivypaw by using Lionblaze and Purdy as trees, stalking low, then quickly pouncing onto them. Ivypaw asks how it's powerful when he didn't even touch her. He replies that he didn't want to hurt her, and in a real battle, he would have done as much damage to them as he could have quickly, and then retreated. Then, after a few moments, when the enemies would have assumed he had retreated, he would have struck again, as the enemy would never expect the same attack twice in a row, because "lightning never strikes in the same place twice," and is warned to not scare Dovepaw and Ivypaw.

Trivia

 * In the allegiances of Fading Echoes he was mistakenly listed as Bumbleflight.
 * He has SkyClan blood, since his grandparents, Willowpelt and Patchpelt, are both Spottedleaf's siblings.
