Kinktail is a she-cat with a crushed tail.[1]
In Code of the Clans, she is RiverClan's medicine cat. She travels to the Moonstone with the other medicine cats, Mossheart, Quailfeather, Prickleface, and Swiftfoot, to share tongues with StarClan and ask them how they can stop the battles raging with their Clans.
After they all have the same kind of dream, it is decided among the medicine cats that a cat does not need to kill to win their battles. Kinktail asks if warriors should follow this rule when they are fighting for their life, or against a fox. Swiftfoot tells her that there will be exceptions, but killing is not necessary when two Clans fight each other. This leads to a part of the fourteenth code, that warriors do not need to kill to win their battles. The only exception to this rule is when Clan cats are fighting against other cats outside the warrior code, or in self-defense. These events also lead to the tradition of medicine cats meeting at the Moonstone every half-moon to share dreams with StarClan.
