"That's the problem with elders. They're all stuck in the past! But looking backward won't help ThunderClan now. We don't need advice from some bygone moon. Things worked differently then." |
— Plumstone about Graystripe's advice in Graystripe's Vow, page 29 |
Plumstone is a sturdy,[4] black-and-ginger she-cat.[5]
Plumstone is a ThunderClan warrior who has served under Bramblestar's, the impostor's, Lionblaze's, Graystripe's, and Squirrelstar's leaderships in the lake territories. She was born to Blossomfall and Thornclaw as Plumkit, along with her siblings Shellkit, Stemkit, and Eaglekit. She was renamed Plumpaw and apprenticed to Mousewhisker. Afterwards, she earned her warrior name of Plumstone. Plumstone agreed with her father's view that the land ThunderClan inherited from WindClan was useless, but differs from others, fiercely arguing that Squirrelflight is a proper leader to Thriftear during Bramblestar's continued absence.
History[]
In the A Vision of Shadows arc[]
Shattered Sky[]
- Plumkit is born to Blossomfall and Thornclaw of ThunderClan, along with her three other siblings, Stemkit, Eaglekit, and Shellkit. Briarlight asks if her sister's new litter opened their eyes yet. Alderheart replies no, but they are healthy. While Briarlight mentions the names of the three kits, saying they are beautiful, Leafpool says that Thornclaw had a hard time calming down last night during the arrival of his first litter. Alderheart expects Twigpaw to be interested about the news of new kits in the Clan, but she does not appear to be.
- During a debate at a Clan meeting, the kits' father, Thornclaw, asks what would happen to Plumkit and her siblings if the rogues attacked. At a later meeting to announce the fight to finally drive out the rogues, both Snowbird and Blossomfall come to the entrance of the nursery, with their kits frisking around their paws.
Darkest Night[]
- When Blossomfall speaks with Tinycloud, a SkyClan queen, about her unborn kits, Eaglekit scrambles over her mother, with Stemkit following. Both kits hurtle after Shellkit and Plumkit, their littermates, and dart between cats, squealing. Their mother meows that once Tinycloud's kits are born, there will not be any peace for her.
- She is later playing with her siblings and the elders. Plumkit demands that her grandfather, Graystripe, give her a badger ride, and Stemkit chimes in. Eaglekit and Shellkit both join in, demanding badger rides. Millie purrs and tells them there is enough room for all of them, taking each of the kits and plopping them on the gray tom. He staggers and cries that they weigh more than owls. All the kits squeal with delight as Graystripe swings one way, then the other. The elder puffs that he can't carry the kits, and his mate replies that he can since he is still the strongest cat in ThunderClan.
- When Willowshine visits ThunderClan's camp, Plumkit and her littermates are playing. Eaglekit hooks a moss ball away from her littermate, letting out a delighted mew, while their mother watches fondly. Later, during a visit to Leafpool, Thornclaw reports to the medicine cat that his kits are doing well. He says that Plumkit and Stemkit like to hang around the medicine den. When a rockslide occurs in ThunderClan's camp, every cat is ordered to evacuate to the lakeshore. Blossomfall exits the nursery, snatching Plumkit in her jaws. They leave camp just as an ominous crack sounds at the top of the hollow. The kit makes it safely out of danger, and as Alderheart dozes, he can hear the litter squeaking excitedly.
River of Fire[]
- When sickness breaks out in ThunderClan, Plumkit is one of the cats to fall ill, with Leafpool being the one to oversee her recovery. Alderheart thinks about the young she-cat, worrying about the other kits catching her illness, since they are too young to fight against the sickness. Luckily, she recovers later.
- Much later, Bramblestar makes her and her siblings apprentices, with her mentor being Mousewhisker, Stempaw's being Rosepetal, Eaglepaw's being Ambermoon, and Shellpaw's being Bumblestripe. Plumpaw is later welcomed to the Gathering by the other Clans. She is mentioned, although unnamed, by Blossomfall at Briarlight’s vigil. Her mother hopes Plumpaw and her siblings will inherit some of Briarlight's courage and optimism.
The Raging Storm[]
- "Plumpaw and Eaglepaw think SkyClan should have stayed. So do Dapplepaw and Harepaw in RiverClan. It's only the leaders who want them gone."
- ―Flypaw about the apprentices' opinion on SkyClan The Raging Storm, page 226
- After SkyClan opts to leave the lake, Flypaw mentions that Eaglepaw, Plumpaw, and two RiverClan apprentices, Dapplepaw and Harepaw, want SkyClan to stay, as they all think the fifth Clan belongs at the lake.
In The Broken Code arc[]
Lost Stars[]
- Plumstone escorts Tree to the ThunderClan medicine cat den so he can check on Rootpaw. Tree notices ThunderClan warriors doing battle training, so he asks Plumstone if ThunderClan expects to fight in leaf-bare. Before she can reply, Tree adds that hunting practice would be more beneficial, before escorting Rootpaw back to SkyClan.
The Silent Thaw[]
- Plumstone goes on a dawn patrol with Eaglewing, Hollytuft and Thornclaw and is surprised to see that Squirrelflight has not ordered patrols yet.
Veil of Shadows[]
- Plumstone listens to Flipclaw when he recounts the weird dream he had the night before. She comments that it was scary when the tabby goes into detail.
Darkness Within[]
- When Spotfur makes an extra nest for the nursery, she tells Plumstone that it needs some moss. Plumstone stands up to go fetch some, but Bristlefrost offers to go in her place in order to get out of camp. Bristlefrost bumps into Lionblaze, who questions where she is going, and she explains that Spotfur and Plumstone need moss.
The Place of No Stars[]
- Lionblaze takes Plumstone, Bristlefrost, Bumblestripe, and Leafshade to ShadowClan's camp to confront Tigerstar and Shadowsight following Ashfur's escape. He has Plumstone and Bumblestripe guard Shadowsight until SkyClan and Leafstar arrive.
In the A Starless Clan arc[]
Sky[]
- When Lionblaze tells the hunting patrol to pair up, Plumstone quickly chooses Finleap. Nightheart concludes that this is because no cat wants to be partners with him.
Thunder[]
- As Nightheart draws near to the ThunderClan camp, Plumstone and Dewnose approach him. Plumstone notices his disappointment and asks if he had expected Sunbeam. When Nightheart tries to enter camp, she blocks him and asks what happened at the Moonpool. Nightheart explains that the clouds prevented them from speaking with StarClan and their leaders are waiting for it to clear. She blocks him again when he tries to pass her, and she and Dewnose express frustration that he was chosen to accompany Bramblestar and Squirrelflight after leaving. She says that he had better do his best to make up for leaving his Clan.
- At the Gathering, Sunbeam sees Plumstone talking to Cherryfall. Later, when Squirrelstar returns from meeting Tree, Plumstone asks if Tigerstar will stop bothering RiverClan. When Ivypool says that Splashtail wants RiverClan's leadership sorted before the birth of Havenpelt's kits, Plumstone remarks that that is not much time and says that Tigerstar appears to have made them feel grateful that he has not caused further issues. Afterward, Plumstone continues to treat Sunbeam with suspicion. When Sunbeam assures Ivypool that she wishes to join ThunderClan, Plumstone points out that she only joined for Nightheart and that he is not there. During Sunbeam's final trial, Sparkpelt runs up to her and apologizes for being late, saying that Plumstone had been speaking with her.

Spotfur's Rebellion[]
- When Cinderheart claims that Spotpaw is a good example for the kits, Spotpaw retorts that she's one of the youngest apprentices, and that Plumpaw, Shellpaw, and the others do not listen to her. Later, Plumpaw returns from a hunting patrol, sharing a sparrow at the fresh-kill pile with her mentor, Mousewhisker.
