Brownpaw is a brown tom.

Brownpaw was a ShadowClan apprentice under Brokenstar's leadership in the forest territories. He was born to Newtspeck as Brownkit alongside his brothers, Wetkit and Littlekit. During a training session with Mosspaw and his brothers, Brownkit and Wetkit kill the young tom on accident. The outcome is that Brownkit is apprenticed early as Brownpaw, with Stumpytail becoming his mentor. After his death, he ascended to StarClan.

History

In the Super Editions

Yellowfang's Secret

Brownkit is born to Newtspeck of ShadowClan, along with his brothers, Littlekit and Wetkit. Yellowfang mentions that they had only just been born, and until the current kits were able to be apprenticed, warriors would have to share the duties. The young kit later awakens Yellowfang in her den, complaining of pain and favoring one of his front legs. Yellowfang discovers that the kit wrenched his shoulder and Brownkit explains that Brokenstar had him training with the other kits, including Mosspaw. He expresses his excitement, trying to give a swipe with his injured leg. Yellowfang says he is too young to leave camp, let alone battle train. Brownkit retorts he is nearly three moons old and that is when Mosspaw was made an apprentice. Brownkit tells Yellowfang she should see Mosspaw's fighting now as he is skilled. Yellowfang reassures she is sure he is, but orders Brownkit to stop training. Brownkit retorts that she is not the leader, Brokenstar is, and if he says he can train, then he will. Yellowfang still confines him to camp though until his shoulder heals.

During a training session, Brownkit and Wetkit get the angle wrong on a double-attack move and accidentally kill Mosspaw in the process. Not knowing that they killed Mosspaw, he and Wetkit are sent back to camp. When Brokenstar announces that Mosspaw has died, Brownkit gives a shriek, which quickly turns to excited squeals when Brokenstar announces he wants to commend the kits' bravery by making them apprentices. Brownkit is apprenticed to Stumpytail, taking on the name Brownpaw. Brokenstar announces that he is proud as they have five new apprentices. Afterwards, the apprentices are taken out to see the territory. They do not seem as excited as normal apprentices, although Yellowfang thinks that will soon change when they see how big the territory really is.

Continuity

The following information is from sources considered non-canon, retconned, or from adapted material.

• On Vicky's Facebook, Brownpaw was a brown tom with a tiny portion of ginger mottles. His brown fur was the same color as Littlecloud's and his ginger mottles were the same color as Newtspeck's. Brownpaw died from an unknown sickness and went to StarClan. Brownpaw was not named a warrior alongside his siblings because he had difficulties during his training.
