"I don't know why Furled Bracken is making us wait to go into the tunnels. We're all ready to become sharpclaws. I want to get on with my challenge." |
— Fish Leap expressing his frustration at not being a sharpclaw in Long Shadows, page 198 |
Fish Leap is a brown tabby tom with amber eyes.[2]
History[]
In the Power of Three arc[]
Long Shadows[]
- "We'll never leave, this is our home. What about the Pool of Stars? And the tunnels where we become sharpclaws? How can we lose all that?"
- ―Fish Leap talking about leaving for the mountains Long Shadows, page 214
- Responding to Fish Leap's original question, Jay's Wing withholds his experience in the tunnels. To this dismissal, Fish Leap becomes cross, reasoning that Jay's Wing should not think he is better than them just because he is a sharpclaw. At this, Dove's Wing nudges away Fish Leap with the deduction that Jay's Wing is tired and needs rest. When Half Moon mentions Fallen Leaves, he and Dove's Wing exchange a sorrowful glance. As Jaypaw walks away, he hears Fish Leap protesting against Half Moon, who thinks they should find a new home. He pads away, muttering, while Half Moon continues to argue.
- When Jay's Wing wakes up once again, Fish Leap and his mother are hovering over him. Fish Leap suggests that they go hunting together. He says to Dawn River that he thinks Jay's Wing had banged his head in the tunnels and that he is talking nonsense when Jaypaw mentions patrols. He laughs whenever Jay's Wing misses a kill or runs into something. He and Dawn River go on without Jay's Wing to hunt on their own. When they come back, he teases Jay's Wing about the fact he has not caught any prey. When Jay's Wing blames it on his paws, Fish Leap tells him that if he does not catch something, he will go hungry. Fish Leap then leaves to hunt on his own and wishes Jay's Wing good hunting.
- When Jay's Wing and Half Moon get back, he is sharing tongues with Dove's Wing. After Jay's Wing talks to Stone Song about the mountains, Fish Leap and Dove's Wing come to meet them. Fish Leap is convinced that they will not leave, and he leads the way to the meeting. When Stone Song mentions Jay's Wing's dream, both Fish Leap and Dove's Wing look expectantly at Jay's Wing.
- With Dawn River and Shy Fawn, Fish Leap casts his stone to stay, instead of leaving for the mountains like Dove's Wing.
In the Omen of the Stars arc[]
Sign of the Moon[]
- When Jayfeather first returns to the ancient Tribe as Jay's Wing, Fish Leap is the first to greet him. Stone Song wonders how Jay's Wing suddenly appeared, and Fish Leap defends him. The group's former leader, Furled Bracken, mentions that he will take any cat that wants to go back to their original territory with him, and Fish Leap agrees, saying he never wanted to leave in the first place.
- When Jagged Lightning wants to go hunting, as he will not let his kits starve, Fish Leap asks Jay's Wing about hunting in patrols for safety, something never done before. Jay's Wing then mentions hunting eagles as a source of prey, and Fish Leap wonders how they can fight birds that big.
- He is among the cats sent to hunt the eagle. However, since he is only a softpaw, he is instructed to stay hidden and watch what happens. When the patrol hides, Jay's Wing can only see Fish Leap's tail tip outlined brown against the snow. After the eagle grabs Jay's Wing in its talons, Fish Leap tries to pull him down, but Jay's Wing tells him to let go.
