Crookedstar's Promise

"Dawnkit and Mallowkit had been forbidden to go near the river. A swell might sweep through the reed bed at any moment and wash away an unsuspecting kit."

―Narrator about what could happen if Dawnkit and Mallowkit go too curious

Dawnkit and her sister, Mallowkit, are born to Softwing and Owlfur in RiverClan. When the river is rising rapidly, Dawnkit and Mallowkit are forbidden to go to the reed bed, because the banks might burst and one of them could be swept away. After Dawnkit tumbles out of the nursery to help Hailstar hunt mice, Mallowkit complains to Softwing, asking why she can't go outside, but Dawnkit can. When the hunting patrol to the barn is being made, Dawnkit wants to go too, and she slips out from her mother's paws, getting her fur all wet.

As Oakheart, Hailstar, and Crookedjaw discuss if they should move Graypool and Softwing to the elders' den, Dawnkit and Mallowkit are seen peering outside the entrance, blinking in the rain. Crookedjaw notes that they look more like apprentices every day.

Later on, she and Mallowkit are seen as warriors, named Dawnbright and Mallowtail, sharing tongues with their other Clanmates. Birdsong says that she likes listening to the young warriors boast. When Dawnbright protests that the younger warriors don't boast, Loudbelly reminds her that she had told them that she caught three fish in three dives, and she protests that it was true. It is mentioned that Fallowtail had given up her den to Mallowtail and Dawnbright when she retired to the elders' den.

Continuity

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

• In Su Susann's "Missing Kits" on Vicky's Facebook, Dawnbright and Loudbelly were mates and Whiteclaw was their son. The pair had another litter of Voletooth, Stonestream and Splashpaw, a white she-cat with ginger tabby patches, blue eyes, and a distinctive patch that made the right side of her face white and the left side ginger. Splashpaw drowned in a raging river that also claimed Stonestream's right front leg.
