"You're an apprentice, aren't you? That's so cool!"
— Bristlekit to Flamepaw in River, page 79


Bristlepaw is an orange-and-white tabby she-cat.[1]

Bristlepaw is a ThunderClan apprentice who was born under Bramblestar's leadership in the lake territories, and lived under Squirrelstar's after he stepped down. Bristlekit was born alongside Stemkit and Graykit to Spotfur and Stemleaf, however the latter died before they were born. After becoming an apprentice named Bristlepaw, Bayshine was chosen as her mentor.

History[]

In the A Starless Clan arc[]

River[]

"Then we'll be apprentices now. Flamepaw, you get to be our mentor."
―Bristlekit to Flamepaw River, page 79
Bristlekit and her brothers, Graykit and Stemkit, excitedly ask to help Flamepaw clear out the elders' den. Bristlekit thinks being an apprentice is amazing, and Flamepaw thinks to himself that at least one cat appreciates him. The kits wish to be apprentices as soon as possible, and after enough of their begging, Flamepaw decides they can help him clear old bedding. The kits excitedly agree, and together they help clear the nests. However, Daisy calls for the kits and scolds Flamepaw for letting them help. Lilyheart later scolds Flamepaw for his behavior, though Sparkpelt defends him. Later, Finchlight plays with the kits, and they sit with their mother Spotfur at Flamepaw's warrior ceremony.

Sky[]

When Bayshine offers to clean out the nursery, Squirrelflight reassures him that Daisy and Spotfur have already taken care of that. Whilst Daisy carries tattered bracken, Bristlekit and her brothers, Stemkit and Graykit, scurry after her while carrying leaf scraps. When Nightheart carries a mouse to the nursery, he merely greets Bristlekit and her brothers.

Thunder[]

Ivypool decides that Sunbeam's first trial will be to teach Bristlekit and her siblings to catch prey. Sunbeam worries over whether she will be able to do this while seeing Bristlekit sniff about and her siblings wrestle. She argues with Graykit about how nearly catching prey is not an actual achievement. Bristlekit wonders about frogs, and when Sunbeam asks her about fish, she notes she is not a RiverClan cat, prompting Sunbeam to explain loyalty is not determined by what they eat. She praises Bristlekit for being the first to spot prey in the forest. With Sunbeam's instructions, the kits hunt successfully; Bristlekit herself catches two pieces of prey so they can feed the elders: Brightheart, Cloudtail, Thornclaw, and Brackenfur.
When Squirrelstar declares Brambleclaw will be treated as an elder from now on, he looks at Bristlekit, Graykit, and Stemkit, saying he can tend to his own ticks. Later on, Bristlekit is playing moss-ball with her denmates.

Wind[]

Graypaw: "I'm going to be the best warrior! I'll know all the battle moves!"
Bristlepaw: "No, you’re not—l am! I’m going to be Clan leader one day! Bristlestar!"
—Graypaw and Bristlepaw boasting Wind, page 202
Bristlekit and her littermates are playing with Bayshine when Sunbeam comes to speak with him, and Spotfur sends them to bed. Later, Bristlepaw has her apprentice ceremony, and she is apprenticed to Bayshine. Sunbeam tells Nightheart that the apprentices will help with her duties. The apprentices tour the territory, with Graypaw and Bristlepaw eagerly exploring. They are scolded by Finchlight for mocking SkyClan's scent. Bristlepaw catches fox scent and wants to see it, but Bayshine warns her off. On the way home, Bristlepaw recounts what they have learned, and says that they can do more. She and Graypaw bicker over who will be leader until their mentors scare them, and Bristlepaw gets stuck in brambles. After Bayshine helps her, she and Graypaw report what they learned from the experience. She wants to listen to the elders' stories about Squirrelstar.
During the storm, Nightheart takes Wafflepaw and Bristlepaw to gather brambles to secure the elders' den. Bristlepaw trips into a stump, but recovers and assures Nightheart that she is fine. During cleanup following the storm, Bristlepaw listens to Wafflepaw's instructions and helps clear up debris.

Star[]

When Pouncestep remarks that kits have thistledown for brains after Sunbeam tells her she managed to train them, Sunbeam suddenly feels protective of Bristlepaw, Graypaw, and Stempaw, feeling secretly pleased that she had helped with their training. Later, in ThunderClan camp, Bristlepaw is seen learning a battle move from Bayshine, and further on, she is seen practicing battle moves with her brother, Graypaw.

In the Novellas[]

Daisy's Kin[]

"Daisy, you must come see Spotfur. She's had her kits, and they're so beautiful! But she could use you, Daisy. We all give her as much help as we can, but she needs an experienced she-cat to be with her all the time."
―Alderheart to Daisy about Spotfur's kits Daisy's Kin, chapter 9
While staying at the horseplace with Smoky and his kits, Mousewhisker, Sparkpelt, and Sorrelstripe arrive for Daisy's help, explaining that Spotfur has given birth to her kits. Daisy is surprised that Spotfur was even expecting, and Mousewhisker remarks that Spotfur was surprised as well, but needs Daisy's help since Spotfur's mate, Stemleaf, is dead. Daisy promises to think about it, and the Clan cats leave. That night, Daisy reflects about leaving the barn to return to her Clan; Daisy was overwhelmed by the loss of her kits, the fear of potentially losing Mousewhisker, and her worries that she is no longer needed in ThunderClan. Daisy knows that she is able to help Spotfur and her kits. She reflects how ThunderClan came together to save Coriander and Little Daisy, and Daisy knows they will do the same for Spotfur's kits. Daisy returns to ThunderClan the following morning, and the Clan excited greets her, with Alderheart ushering her to the nursery to meet Spotfur's kits.
