"No! You've got to go. We don't mind staying here." |
— Nectarpaw to Violetpaw when a patrol is rescuing Frecklewish in Darkest Night, page 204 |
Nectarsong is a brown she-cat.[8]
Nectarsong is a SkyClan warrior under Leafstar’s leadership in the lake territories. She was born in the gorge as Nectarkit to Mintfur and Nettlesplash along with her siblings, Gravelkit, Palekit, and Fringekit. After SkyClan was driven out of the gorge by Darktail's group, Nettlesplash and Mintfur opted to stay behind to raise their kits rather than make the journey to try and find ThunderClan. After Darktail and his rogues abandoned the gorge, Nectarkit and her family moved into it and Mintfur and Nettlesplash gave their kits apprentice names. Nectarpaw and her siblings were unofficially mentored by their parents, who tried to act like they were part of a Clan again. Hawkwing led a patrol back to the gorge and found Nectarpaw and her family, and they journeyed to the lake, where Nectarpaw was given a mentor in Sparrowpelt. Nectarpaw later earned her warrior name, Nectarsong, and had two kits, Beekit and Beetlekit, with Dewspring.
History[]
In the A Vision of Shadows arc[]
Darkest Night[]
- When Hawkwing and his patrol arrive near SkyClan's old territory, Nectarpaw's littermates Gravelpaw and Palepaw rush to confront them. Moments later, Mintfur and Nettlesplash meet the group, their other two kits Fringepaw and Nectarpaw following. They are thrilled to see Hawkwing and his cats, and introduce them to their kits. Nettlesplash invites the patrol to come back to the gorge to rest and have something to eat. All the cats go back to camp, talking about old times and how Darktail is now dead.
- The next day, the SkyClan cats go to show Hawkwing where Frecklewish is being held captive by Twolegs. As they approach the tall structure, Nectarpaw stays hidden in the treeline with her siblings. Violetpaw comes up with a way for Frecklewish to escape, and they opt to let the medicine cat decide whether she can make the jump or not. Gravelpaw asks if he can come along, but Mintfur orders all of her litter to stay on the ground. Violetpaw feels bad that she gets to go with the older cats, and then offers to stay with the younger cats. Nectarpaw exclaims that she can't do that, and urges Violetpaw along. She insists that they don't mind staying behind, but Gravelpaw grumbles for her to speak for herself. Nectarpaw tells Violetpaw to stay safe and ignore Gravelpaw, who thinks he's already a warrior.
- Frecklewish manages to jump out of the Twoleg nest onto some steps, then into a tree. The cats race away as a Twoleg chases them, and Nectarpaw watches with wide eyes from below. The Twoleg is surprised as the cats run away, out of sight. Nettlesplash, Mintfur, Fidgetpaw, and Frecklewish decide to go back to the other Clans with Hawkwing after a heavy rain washes their camp away. Violetpaw walks with the other apprentices while they travel, noting that Nectarpaw and Fringepaw have become less shy. As the travelers approach the lake territories, Nectarpaw spots the lake. Gravelpaw cranes his neck to see and Violetpaw affirms that they are close to the end of their journey.
- The cats stop to rest for the night because the younger cats feel tired from traveling. Nettlesplash says that he'll take Gravelpaw, Nectarpaw, and Mintfur out hunting, while Hawkwing checks out a hollow for sleeping. The next day, they arrive at SkyClan's camp, and are bewildered to see cats running around, building dens. Hawkwing asks what's happening, and they tell him Leafstar will explain. Finpaw looks at Nectarpaw and her littermates, commenting that the apprentices' den is going to be very full. Once in camp, Twigpaw says the same, noting that the den doesn't have enough nests yet for everyone. Leafstar interrupts that Violetpaw and her sister won't need nests in the apprentices' den, as it's time for them to be warriors. Violetpaw gets excited, and Nectarpaw and her littermates crowd around the pair.
Darkest Night Bonus Scene[]
- Nettlesplash sits outside, watching his kits play. Palekit and Gravelkit play with a leaf, and Nectarkit sneaks up behind her littermates. The she-kit yowls and leaps on top of her siblings. The three kits descend into a round of play fighting, the leaf forgotten. Mintfur and Nettlesplash are content, commenting on how much their litter has grown. Abruptly, Nectarkit sits up, pushing Fringekit off of her. She comments that there's a moaning noise she doesn't recognize, and that it sounds like when Fringekit had a bellyache, but louder. The other kits say that they can hear it too, so Mintfur tells them to go inside the den. Nettlesplash goes into the forest, finding that the source of the moaning is Dragonfly, who is very sick. He decides to help her, and with his and Mintfur's help, she completely heals within a quarter moon. Later, Nettlesplash plays with his kits, and Nectarkit begs him to swing her around in the air. However, he is tired and slumps on the ground to rest for a bit. The kits argue over which type of prey is the best, each naming a different type. Nectarkit yowls that they should attack Nettlesplash's tail, and she leaps onto it. Moments later, a rabbit runs across the small clearing. Nettlesplash realizes that some cat is chasing it, and orders his kits to hide. They dive beneath a bush, hiding until Dragonfly and Darktail leave. Once Mintfur returns from hunting, Nectarkit and her siblings are given the mice their mother has caught.
River of Fire[]
- After returning to SkyClan, Nectarpaw has been assigned Sparrowpelt as a mentor.
The Raging Storm[]
- Nectarpaw and Pigeonpaw are practicing battle moves when Leafstar and SkyClan's warriors are discussing ShadowClan's actions. While Pigeonpaw believes that ShadowClan invaded SkyClan territory, Nectarpaw defends ShadowClan, saying that they did not invade. Sandynose snaps at Nectarpaw, saying that their scent is on SkyClan land, and Plumwillow slides out from the warriors' den, demanding to know what Sandynose is talking about.
- Later, Nectarpaw and Sunnypaw are helping to patch up SkyClan's dens after ShadowClan's raid on their camp. Upon Hawkwing's orders, Nettlesplash signals to Sunnypaw and Nectarpaw. As he is about to take them out of camp to look for supplies to mend the camp, Leafstar interjects and tells Hawkwing that he is wasting his time.
- Nectarpaw joins Palepaw and Gravelpaw outside of the apprentices' den as Leafstar calls her Clan together. As Leafstar makes the choice to leave Clan territory and return to the gorge, Nectarpaw bounces around Harrybrook, asking if the journey will be long. Harrybrook tells Nectarpaw to calm down, and that she will need her energy for the journey.
- When Violetshine follows Reedclaw to help Sunnypaw, who is stuck in the mud, Nectarpaw watches her alongside Quailpaw. Hawkwing tells everyone to find a stick to help Sunnypaw out, and Nectarpaw soon returns with the others, announcing that they have found one. She helps pull Sunnypaw from the mud. When Leafstar says that they are going home, referring to the gorge, Nectarpaw replies that they want to return to the lake. As the mixed-Clan patrol arrives to help SkyClan from the flood, Nectarpaw watches them with Quailpaw. Flypaw later helps Nectarpaw shape ferns while Finleap speaks with Twigbranch, and she helps Tree work on a nest. Nectarpaw, limping from a bad jump, attends the SkyClan patrol to ShadowClan to face Tigerstar. As they cross the river, Violetshine waits for Nectarpaw to cross.

- Although unnamed, she is one of the four kits of Mintfur and Nettlesplash. Hawkwing hears their terrified cries as he approaches the nursery during a massive attack by a group of rogues. Fidgetkit, Snipkit, and Curlykit tell Hawkwing that they'll defend the younger kits when he races over to protect them.
- After the battle, SkyClan is separated, but slowly begins to reform into a group. Mintfur, Nettlesplash, and their four kits are seen among the cats. SkyClan decides to go and look for new territory, with the other Clans. Mintfur and Nettlesplash say their kits are too young to travel, and decide to stay behind in familiar land. The gray tabby she-cat sweeps her kits closer, meowing that perhaps they'll meet again and that they'll miss the Clan terribly.
