History

In the Super Edition Arc

Firestar's Quest

Larkwing is an ancient WindClan medicine cat under the leadership of Swiftstar.

When Redstar, the leader of ThunderClan, suggests that SkyClan leave the forest, Swiftstar quickly snarls his agreement. Larkwing then intervenes, saying that StarClan wouldn't be pleased if the other Clans drove out SkyClan. Swiftstar counters her, asking why the moon is still shining if StarClan didn't agree that SkyClan be driven out. Although she is reluctant, Larkwing does not argue with her leader, and stares blankly up at the sky.

In the Novellas

Cloudstar's Journey

Larkwing is mentioned, but not by name when at a Gathering, Fawnstep pulls Cloudstar aside and tells him all the medicine cats have had dreams about SkyClan being destroyed by the Twoleg monsters and what they do to the forest.

At SkyClan's last Gathering at Fourtrees, Larkwing tells Swiftstar that StarClan won't be happy if SkyClan is driven away, since there have always been five Clans residing in the forest. Swiftstar looks down at her from the Great Rock and asks her if she really knows the will of StarClan, as the moon is still shining brightly overhead. Larkwing is silent and sits back down, lost for words.

Mapleshade's Vengeance

Larkwing is one of the medicine cats who attend the half-moon Gathering.

After Mapleshade murders Ravenwing, the ThunderClan medicine cat, the other medicine cats discover his body. Larkwing exclaims in shock, asking Ravenwing what happened. Sloefur sniffs Ravenwing, she is horrified and tells Larkwing that Ravenwing is dead. Larkwing tells Sloefur that they couldn't leave Ravenwing there, so they drag him out and decide to bury Ravenwing by Highstones.
