History

In the Super Edition Series

Firestar's Quest

Fawnstep is an ancient medicine cat of SkyClan.

She makes an appearance in one of Firestar's visions, begging Cloudstar to allow her to speak with StarClan, saying that they might know of a place for them, but he does not let her. Later in the book, when Firestar is finally speaking with Cloudstar, he mentions that his medicine cat still walks with StarClan in dreams, and he did not try to stop her. In another vision, Firestar watches as Fawnstep tells her leader that she's had no sign from StarClan, when he asks if they were going the right way.

When Leafdapple is receiving her nine lives, Fawnstep appears to Echosong, the new SkyClan medicine cat. She tells her who she is, and that Echosong finds herbs in the same places she once did. Fawnstep then promises her that she will watch over her, and they will walk dreams together, until Echosong has learned how to be a true medicine cat. It is unknown how, or when she died, so it is possible she either died of natural causes, or possibly became a kittypet, when the Clan scattered.

SkyClan's Destiny

She is first mentioned when Leafstar tells Echosong that Fawnstep might visit her for more training in herbs.

During one of Leafstar's dreams, she sees the ancient SkyClan, led by Cloudstar. Fawnstep tells a queen not be afraid after she wails that her kits will die. Fawnstep comforts her by telling her StarClan still watches over them, even so far away from the forest.

She is briefly mentioned by Leafstar after Swallowflight discourages her about leading the new SkyClan. Leafstar remembers that the StarClan cats encouraged her, so she continues to lead SkyClan.

Battles of the Clans

After the battle with ThunderClan, in which SkyClan was defeated, Fawnstep appears in Cloudstar's den and demands to talk to him. After telling him to sit down and convincing him that his mate, Birdflight, is fine and her kits aren't being born, she talks to him about a dream she had. She's sure StarClan was showing her the future, and she describes how later on, after Birdflight has had her kits, SkyClan was leaving the forest from a Gathering. She elaborates on how the Twolegs had taken all the territory in her dream, and there was none left for them. She attempts to comfort Cloudstar, and tells him that they should not have lost the battle, that it was a defeat that they could not survive.
