Midnight (character)

Midnight is an elderly badger in The New Prophecy who lives near the sun-drown place and has the ability to speak the languages of many different animals, including fox, rabbit, and cat.

Midnight

 * Midnight first appears in a cave at the sun-drown place after the six traveling cats wash up inside. At first, the cats are frightened, but she tells them she will not kill them. She introduces herself and invites them inside, where she tells them that StarClan has given her a message for them. She tells them that they must go back to their Clans and convince them to leave the forest to find a new home, as Twolegs are planning to destroy it to make a large Thunderpath, as well as a prophecy that will help guide them to their new home.

Moonrise

 * Midnight leads the six cats back to a forest near Twolegplace. She convinces two foxes to leave the cats alone, and the cats and badger meet Purdy once more. Midnight convinces the cats to go back to the forest on the route of the mountains, despite Purdy's protests. She then bids the six cats farewell.

Starlight

 * Midnight briefly appears in the prologue, visiting StarClan, who have finally arrived in their new home. They thank her for her help, but Midnight commends the six cats who went on the journey.

Twilight

 * Midnight meets Leafpool and Crowfeather during their elopement, and warns them how many of her badger kin are planning to attack the Clans, despite her pleas for peace. While Leafpool and Crowfeather set out to warn ThunderClan, Midnight goes to WindClan, and brings them in time to save ThunderClan from being decimated by the badgers.

Sunset

 * The other cats thank Midnight for her help, which she refuses, saying that she did not warn them soon enough. She warns them that the badgers are still angry, but beaten at the present time. She then leaves ThunderClan, telling Squirrelflight, Brambleclaw and Stormfur that perhaps their paths will cross again in the future.

Long Shadows

 * She briefly appears in the prologue, meeting with Thunder, Wind, Shadow and River. Shadow accuses her of sharing StarClan's secrets with Sol, and thus causing ShadowClan's disbelief in StarClan. At the end of the prologue, Rock is known to have seen and heard what had happened and tells her she had no choice.
