Molepaw is a black-and-gray[5] tom.[2]
Molepaw was a ThunderClan apprentice under Firestar's leadership in the lake territories. He was born as Molekit to Brackenfur and Sorreltail alongside his sisters, Cinderkit, Poppykit, and Honeykit, when badgers attacked ThunderClan's camp. He became an apprentice as Molepaw, but died from greencough and went to StarClan.
History[]
In The New Prophecy arc[]
Twilight[]
- Molekit, along with his siblings, Cinderkit, Poppykit, and Honeykit, are born to Sorreltail and Brackenfur of ThunderClan. Although Cinderpelt, ThunderClan's medicine cat, dies while protecting them during a badger attack on their camp, Leafpool arrives at the right time and helps Sorreltail safely deliver her kits. After the badger attack, Leafpool mentions to Brackenfur that he has four healthy kits. At the mention of this, Brackenfur curls his tail in delight, and he dashes off into the nursery to see them.
Sunset[]
- "This one is Molekit. He's the only tom."
- ―Sorreltail introducing her kits to Brambleclaw and Squirrelflight Sunset, page 27
In the Power of Three arc[]
The Sight[]
- While reflecting upon the harshness of the recent leaf-bare, it is mentioned that the season brought not only hunger, but death as well. Molepaw is said to have died of a cough that had not responded to Leafpool's herbs, and that Rainwhisker, one of his uncles, had been killed by a falling branch during a storm.
Eclipse[]
- "Molekit should be here too."
- ―Sorreltail at Honeypaw and Poppypaw's warrior ceremony Eclipse, page 87
Sunrise[]
- "No...oh, no... I can't lose another kit! Not after Molekit! Please, StarClan..."
- ―Sorreltail remembering the loss of Molekit Sunrise, page 213
In the Omen of the Stars arc[]
Fading Echoes[]
- While Lionblaze and Cinderheart are talking about how Ivypaw and Dovepaw have fallen out, Cinderheart sadly reflects on the times where she used to argue with Molepaw and Honeyfern, while they were alive.
In the Novellas[]
Leafpool's Wish[]
- Molekit, along with his siblings, Honeykit, Cinderkit, and Poppykit, play with each other. Sorreltail, his mother, tells Molekit and the other kits not to bother the older warriors, and Honeykit replies that she and Molekit are practicing running.
