Jagged Lightning is a long-legged[3] black-and-white tom with amber eyes.[2]
History[]
In the Power of Three arc[]
Long Shadows[]
- Jagged Lightning is one of the cats who wish to not leave the lake. Owl Feather, his mate, seems to be displeased with his choice, and she chooses to leave, along with their three kits, Strong Pounce, Lapping Wave, and Running Fox. When asked, Owl Feather says that no one is going to change that, not even Jagged Lightning.
- He approves of Furled Bracken's plea to stay at the lake, and when the stones are cast, he chooses to stay without much hesitation in regards to his kits. When Owl Feather chooses to leave, she doesn't even do as much as glance at him, implying she's not happy with her mate's choice.
- Once Jaypaw, seen as Jay's Wing, casts the final stone, they prepare to leave. When Stone Song asks if the cats are ready, Jagged Lightning is seen with Shy Fawn, looking unhappy, but both cats join the ancient cats as they travel.
In the Omen of the Stars arc[]
Sign of the Moon[]
- "And how did you get into the cave? Some cat must have seen you. I don't like all this sneaking around."
- ―Jagged Lightning to Jayfeather Sign of the Moon, page 186
- When Furled Bracken suggests going back to the lake, Jagged Lightning is the first to agree, and he is soon joined by Fish Leap. Although the cats choose to not leave, Jagged Lightning is still mad, but comes to the realization they're not leaving, and soon joins Jayfeather, Half Moon, and a few others to go hunting.
- He continues to hunt for the group of cats so he and his family doesn't starve, despite him still wanting to go back to the lake, and goes on another patrol, this one with Stone Song and Furled Bracken. They go along with Jayfeather's plan to use a cat as bait to catch the larger birds.
The Last Hope[]
- Jagged Lightning is mentioned by Owl Feather when she declares that they will fight with their kits to defeat the darkness.

Quotes[]
- Stone Song: "I'm still convinced that coming here was the right thing to do. Back where we came from, we were losing too many cats. Badgers, Twolegs-"
- Jagged Lightning: "That's all very well, but are we any better off here? We're all hungry and exhausted, and I've never been so cold in my entire life. It was all Owl Feather and I could do to get our kits here. Dark Whiskers didn't even make it. If we'd stayed by the lake, he wouldn't have been blown off a ledge in the middle of an ice storm!"
- Sign of the Moon, page 184
- "She's right. Why should we risk our lives to catch our prey?"
