Rowankit (ASC)

Sign in to edit
This article is about Rowankit from A Starless Clan; you may be looking for either Rowanclaw, his grandfather, or Rowanberry from Yellowfang's Secret.
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
"Rowankit was the sweetest of all my kits. While his littermate was eager to play, eager to explore the camp, Rowankit was always content to be snuggled up to my belly. I know I'll still reach for him in my sleep. I just can't believe he's gone."
— Dovewing about Rowankit during his vigil in Sky, page 164


Rowankit is a small, ginger[5] tabby[1] tom[5] with soft fur.[6]

Rowankit was a ShadowClan kit born to Dovewing and Tigerstar in their second litter alongside Birchkit. Weaker and smaller than his brother, Rowankit developed greencough, and in order to save him, Tigerstar arranged a journey to find catmint. However, the patrol failed to return before Rowankit's death. He joined StarClan where he is cared for by his kin, Ferncloud.

History[]

In the A Starless Clan arc[]

River[]

"It's still a ways off, but in a few moons, Dovewing and Tigerstar's kits will need mentors."
―Sunbeam about Rowankit and Birchkit River, page 33
Rowankit is the son of Tigerstar and Dovewing alongside his brother Birchkit. Sunbeam aspires to mentor one of them, and Tigerstar mentions them when announcing Cinnamontail's litter at the Gathering. Later, Berryheart wonders if Tigerstar is willing to welcome Fringewhisker into the Clan because his kits are so young.

Sky[]

"I'm not letting Rowankit suffer for the sake of ShadowClan pride. Organize three patrols. Send one to WindClan, one to ThunderClan, and one to RiverClan."
―Tigerstar ordering Cloverfoot to find catmint for Rowankit Sky, page 47
Rowankit and Birchkit get the sniffles, but Rowankit's sickness develops into greencough. Dovewing and Tigerstar take him to Shadowsight and Puddleshine, though they are troubled by their meager catmint supply. When the other Clans don't have any catmint to spare, Tigerstar orders Cloverfoot to arrange a joint-Clan patrol to find catmint. Lightleap joins and is determined to gather the medicine to treat her younger brother.
Although the patrol succeeds in retrieving the catmint, Sunbeam and Lightleap discover that Rowankit has already died. During Rowankit's vigil, Tigerstar, Dovewing, and Birchkit speak fondly of him. Afterward, Berryheart attributes Rowankit's death to Fringewhisker bringing sickness from SkyClan after Tigerstar allowed her to change Clans. Following Rowankit's death, Tigerstar calls an emergency Gathering. Fidgetflake later finds forgotten catmint in RiverClan that would have healed Rowankit, influencing Tigerstar's decision to occupy RiverClan.

In the Changing Skies arc[]

The Elders' Quest[]

Tawnypelt encourages Birchfeather's feelings for Ridgeglow, thinking it will make his parents happy to have another cat in their family after the loss of Rowankit. To her dismay, Birchfeather decides to join SkyClan. Tawnypelt asks Tigerstar and Dovewing to come say goodbye, but they nearly refuse, lost in their grief over Rowankit's passing and now Birchfeather's leaving.

In the Super Editions[]

Ivypool's Heart[]

"I know that Rowankit was his own cat. His eyes were so bright and curious, and he seemed happy all the time, even when he was sick. He enjoyed his time with us, even though it was so short."
―Dovewing about caring for the wildcat kits Ivypool's Heart, page 363
Dovewing alludes to Rowankit when she objects to Shadowsight going on Whistlepaw's quest, asserting that she will not lose another kit. Attempting to comfort Ivypool, Dovewing says she knows what it's like to lose a kit and that she dreams of him every night. When Dovewing presses her sister further, Ivypool snaps that losing Bristlefrost is different because Dovewing will see her son in StarClan, to which Dovewing concedes. In another coversation with Ivypool, Dovewing affirms that as she will never forget Rowankit, no cat will ever forget Bristlefrost.
Later, Dovewing reflects on Rowankit's birth when Stalk Purr is preparing to give birth. She believes that being in ShadowClan was far better than giving birth to her first liter in Twolegplace. Seeing Dovewing's grief, Ivypool assures her that Rowankit knew how much she loved him and was lucky to have her as a mother. After the wildcat kits are born, Dovewing confides that she can't stop thinking about Rowankit's slow death. The sisters press against each other and Ivypool realizes just how devastating Rowankit's death was. Later, Ivypool questions if Stalk Purr's kits stir up Dovewing's grief and asks if she would rather go with Icewing to find the other wildcats. Dovewing declines, stating that the wildcat kits are different from Rowankit and that caring for them is healing for her.
Rowankit happily plays with two other StarClan kits under the care of his kin, Ferncloud, when Ivypool visits StarClan. Seeing him, Ivypool is eager to tell Dovewing. When Ivypool returns to their camp, Dovewing brings up Rowankit, describing how he was happy even during his sickness. Ivypool tells Dovewing that Rowankit is being cared for by Ferncloud and Dovewing is overjoyed.

Mistakes[]

  • There is a discrepancy on Rowankit's description. In the preview for River on the Warriors website, Rowankit is listed as a dark gray tabby she-kit.[69] However, in the River preview on Kobo, Rowankit is listed as a ginger tom,[70] as well the digital copy of River,[71] as in the preview for Sky on the Warriors website.[72] He is also depicted as a ginger tabby on the family tree.[73]

Quotes[]

"I'm sorry Rowankit died, but he might still be alive if Tigerstar hadn't agreed to change the warrior code. I knew he shouldn't have gone along with it."
―Berryheart to Sunbeam about Rowankit's death Sky, page 166


"Rowankit knew how much you loved him. How lucky he was to have you for a mother."
―Ivypool comforting Dovewing Ivypool's Heart, page 279
