"Throw it again! I want to catch it too!"
— Finchkit to Sparkpelt in Squirrelflight's Hope, page 402

Finchpaw is a tortoiseshell she-cat.[1]

She is born as Finchkit to Sparkpelt and Larksong, along with Flamekit and Flickerkit, who is stillborn. Moments after her birth, Larksong dies, and she and Flamekit are fostered by Sorrelstripe while Sparkpelt recovers from her depression. She later becomes an apprentice, Finchpaw, mentored by Cinderheart.

History

In The Broken Code

Lost Stars

Finchkit appears along with her brother Flamekit when Sparkpelt and Sorrelstripe come out of the nursery to listen to a Clan meeting.
Later, as Sparkpelt speaks with Squirrelflight, Finchkit and Flamekit tumble around while being watched by Sorrelstripe. When Bramblestar's body is brought to camp, she and Flamekit are noted to be staring at it with sadness, along with Baykit and Myrtlekit.

The Silent Thaw

She is made an apprentice, Finchpaw, and her mentor is Cinderheart.
Finchpaw and her brother nose around the camp wall, sniffing for signs of prey while their mentors murmur quietly from a distance. She follows along with Flamepaw, Lilyheart and Cinderheart when the gray tabby warrior takes them to follow on Mousewhisker and Baypaw for training.
Later on, the apprentice returns to camp along with her mentor, Berrynose, Poppyfrost and Rosepetal after another hunting patrol. Finchpaw is seen sharing a thrush with her mother and Alderheart.
Finchpaw is seen helping Lilyheart, Birchfall and Cinderheart reweave brambles in the entrance to the warriors' den.

Squirrelflight's Hope

Finchkit and her brothers Flamekit and Flickerkit are born to Larksong and Sparkpelt, but Flickerkit is stillborn. Larksong witnesses the birth of his kits and nuzzles Finchkit just as he dies from sickness. With the death of her mate and son, Sparkpelt is unable to look after Flamekit or Finchkit and she goes into a depression, where the two littermates are fostered by Sorrelstripe.
Bramblestar and Squirrelflight, Finchkit's grandfather and grandmother, find solace looking after their grandchildren to give Sorrelstripe a break, and Squirrelflight realizes that she is content to have grandchildren over another litter with Bramblestar. Daisy however, begins to worry that Finchkit and Flamekit won't see Sparkpelt as their mother, and instead turn to Sorrelstripe or her for motherly affection due to Sparkpelt's refusal to spend time with her children.
When Squirrelflight returns from StarClan, she tells Sparkpelt that Larksong and Flickerkit will be watching over them. This enlightens Sparkpelt, and she decides to be the mother her kits need. Finchkit and Flamekit initially doubt their mother, but soon become happy that their mother wants to spend time with them.
