"It doesn't matter which Clan a warrior comes from. Or if they come from StarClan at all. If a dead cat has a message to pass on, we must listen to it and do our best to honor their wishes."

Fidgetflake is a black-and-white tom.

Fidgetflake is a medicine cat of SkyClan under Leafstar's leadership in the the lake territories. He was born as Fidgetkit to Birdwing and Sagenose alongside his sisters, Curlykit and Snipkit. As a kit, he showed interest in healing, and he trained under Echosong as Fidgetpaw after SkyClan was exiled from the gorge. He was often left to heal his Clanmates by himself, especially when Echosong left to search for ThunderClan; however, he was captured by Twolegs, leaving SkyClan without a medicine cat. Fidgetpaw escaped and returned to the gorge, where he lived with a few SkyClan cats until they were found by Hawkwing's patrol. Fidgetpaw was happy to reunite with his former Clanmates and helped the patrol rescue Frecklewish. After Frecklewish returned to SkyClan as its medicine cat, he trained under her, until he received his full medicine cat name, Fidgetflake, and later unofficially mentored Rootspring alongside Frecklewish.

A Vision of Shadows

"I think StarClan would want us to be with the other Clans. They led Leafstar and Hawkwing to the lake for a reason. I think we should go with them. The gorge will never be what it once was to us."

―Fidgetpaw to the other cats

Fidgetpaw is one of the many missing SkyClan cats that were lost when the Clan was forced to leave the gorge. Hawkwing decides to lead a patrol to the gorge to attempt to find their missing Clanmates, and they discover Mintfur, Nettlesplash, their litter of kits, and Fidgetpaw. After rescuing Frecklewish from a Twoleg nest, they return home to the the lake. He trains under Frecklewish and later earns his full name, Fidgetflake. The medicine cats are warned about approaching shadows and that SkyClan must be accepted by the other Clans. He journeys with his Clan to return to the gorge, but eventually come back when the other Clans rescue them from a flood.

^{Hawkwing's Journey, page 204}

Echosong: "Believe me, Leafstar, I've thought long and hard about this. But I know that drastic steps must be taken to save the Clan! And I believe that Fidgetpaw is capable. I've trained him as well as I can."
