Fernpelt is a dark brown tabby she-cat.[7]
Fernpelt was an ancient SkyClan warrior under Cloudstar’s leadership in the forest territories. She was an apprentice named Fernpaw with Nightfur as her mentor before becoming a warrior known as Fernpelt. Her mate was Buzzardstar, and she had three kits: Tansypaw, Mintpaw, and Snailpaw. During her time as a warrior, SkyClan’s territory was destroyed by Twolegs, and they were forced to leave the forest after the other Clan leaders refused to give them any of their territory. She and her mate made it to the gorge, and Fernpelt later ascended to StarClan after her death.

Cloudstar's Journey[]
- Fernpelt leads a hunting patrol back into camp, but surprisingly, Snailpaw is the only one with prey, and it is only a feeble, damp squirrel. Cloudstar demands if that is all, and Fernpelt defends the apprentice. She tells Cloudstar about the Twolegs scaring away all the prey, even though it is nearly greenleaf.
- After the tree falls and injures Mintpaw, her daughter, Fernpelt rushes out of the warriors' den and demands what happened to her kits, Tansypaw, Mintpaw, and Snailpaw. Cloudstar tells her that the Twolegs have invaded the territory. Buzzardtail returns from a patrol and leaps to his mate's side and asks her what happened. Fernpelt explains the falling tree to her mate. After Cloudstar and Buzzardtail sort out a patrol to assess the damage, Quailheart comes out of the medicine den with herbs. Fawnstep examines all of the injured apprentices with Fernpelt, who shrieks at her kits' injuries, which are relatively minor. She soon calms down to help her daughters and son get settled.
- Later, Fernpelt is seen briefly, sharing tongues with Buzzardtail right before Cloudstar announces that every cat has to eat once a day at dusk. A little while after this, Fernpelt, along with Stoatfur, Acornpaw, and Weaselwhisker are selected to hunt along the river. Cloudstar interrupts, and sends them to do battle training instead.
- During the SkyClan-ThunderClan battle soon after, Fernpelt is seen battling Redstar, holding her own. Redstar then knocks her away with one large well-dealt blow that sends her tumbling away into some bracken, where she doesn't move.
