History

In the Super Editions

StormClan's Folly

Stripestar: "Should we go together, you and I?"

Rainkit: "But—but what if there are eagles? Or—or snakes, or Twolegs?"

^{StormClan's Folly, page 269}

Rainkit is born to Huntheart and Fernwhisper alongside her brothers, Windkit and Lightningkit, in an abandoned Twoleg nest. They are the first kits to be born in StormClan. Near the end of leaf-bare, StormClan is forced to flee the Twoleg nest when its Twolegs return to reclaim it. The Clan settles in a swamp, and Galestar attempts to reassure the kits that the Clan will protect them. In newleaf, the Clan moves to the top of the fox-headed mountain. Stripestar carries Rainkit on his back and playfully encourages her to protect him from eagles, snakes, and Twolegs. They are the first to reach the plateau nearly at the summit. Two moons later, StormClan struggles to find adequate prey and water in the greenleaf heat. While making one last hunting trip, Stripestar, Flash, Berryfall, and Tumbletail spot a hawk to catch. Rainkit also spots it, letting out an excited squeal. Fernwhisper yowls for her daughter to return to the safety of the nursery. However, the hawk snatches Rainkit, and the little kit is carried off.

StormClan holds a vigil for Rainkit, and Huntheart, Fernwhisper, and their remaining kits decide to leave StormClan. Rainkit's death also encourages StormClan to return to the forest. Rainkit ascends to StarClan. She gives Whitestep her final life, a gift for hope.
