History

In The Prophecies Begin

Forest of Secrets

When Fireheart speaks with Mistyfoot about the truth of Oakheart's death, Mistyfoot sharply remarks she left her kits to hurry him along. When Fireheart goes with Graystripe so the latter can visit Silverstream, they discover two kits—Pikekit and Perchkit—trapped on debris in the river near Sunningrocks. As Fireheart wades out to rescue them and pushes the debris closer to the shore, Pikekit falls into the river and Graystripe rescues him. Fireheart and Graystripe take the kits back to RiverClan where they are greeted by Leopardfur, Stonefur, and Blackclaw—the kits' father. Stonefur recognizes them as his sister's kits, but Leopardfur and Blackclaw are more skeptical. At the camp, Fireheart and Graystripe explain how they came across the kits while Mistyfoot joyously reunites with Pikekit and Perchkit. At the Gathering, Bluestar asks Mistyfoot about her kits, and Mistyfoot reports they are recovering and will soon be apprentices.

Rising Storm

He is mentioned indirectly by Mousefur when she tells Leopardfur that Mistyfoot's kits will soon begin to learn, sarcastically reminding him that they were saved from the river by Fireheart.

Leopardstar's Honor

"True warriors will always win over fox-hearts!"

―Pikekit while playing with Featherkit and Stormkit ^{Leopardstar's Honor, page 446}

After Frogleap's death, Mistyfoot ushers her kits back to the nursery and encourages Pikekit and his siblings to play with Woodkit, Robinkit, and Dawnkit. When the camp floods, Silverstream rushes into the nursery to fetch Pikekit and Perchkit after Mistyfoot grabs Primrosekit and Reedkit. However, before the silver tabby she-cat can reach it, a wave sweeps away the nursery with Pikekit and Perchkit hanging on. Woodkit and Robinkit are also swept away, and Crookedstar looses a life trying to save them. Mistyfoot fears her two kits will meet the same fate and urges Crookedstar to let her look for them, but he insists she must take care of her remaining kits. Blackclaw also insists on finding his kits, and Crookedstar relents. Leopardfur, Stonefur, and Blackclaw discover Fireheart and Graystripe from ThunderClan with the kits, having found them in the river. Blackclaw and Leopardfur are supicious, but they take them back to camp where they are united with Mistyfoot.

Later, Pikekit and his siblings play outside when Tallstar arrives in camp, and the kits eagerly ask the WindClan leader questions. Pikekit and his siblings frequently play with Stormkit and Featherkit. He later becomes an apprentice named Pikepaw with Loudbelly as his mentor. When his mother is named Featherpaw's mentor, Pikepaw, his littermates, and their father watch on proudly. When his mother and the other half-Clan apprentices escape TigerClan, Pikepaw, Primrosepaw, and Reedpaw stay close to the apprentices' den and worry over their mother's safety. When Tigerstar kills Gorsepaw when WindClan refuses to join TigerClan, Leopardstar worries if Pikepaw or Primrosepaw will be next if she refuses Tigerstar's orders. When TigerClan meets with BloodClan to confront WindClan the ThunderClan, Leopardstar tells Blackclaw to keep the apprentices away from the battle and to defend them. Later, after Tigerstar's death, Loudbelly asks to train Pikepaw for battle, but Leopardstar fears they would be torn to shreds against BloodClan. Loudbelly insists Pikepaw deserves the chance to try, and his leader relents.

In the Novellas

Mistystar's Omen

Pikepaw, along with his sister, Primrosepaw, and brother, Perchkit, appear in StarClan at Mistyfoot's leadership ceremony. All three kits greet their mother happily, and Pikepaw and Primrosepaw watch as Perchkit gives Mistyfoot a life for bravery. Mistystar often thinks of her kits, regretting how short her time was with them.
