History
In the Power of Three arc
Long Shadows
- Running Fox is one of Owl Feather's very small kits during the time before The Ancients' long journey to the mountains.
In the Omen of the Stars arc
Sign of the Moon
- When Chasing Clouds is wounded, the kit and their siblings, Lapping Wave and Strong Pounce, bounce up to him and sniff Chasing Clouds curiously, but they shrink back to Owl Feather when they smell blood. Running Fox and their siblings are drawn closer to their mother when the Ancients decide to go back, but it would be harder to go back with kits to look out for. Running Fox is seen with their siblings pummeling their mothers belly trying to get milk to come, because they are hungry. Owl Feather meows sadly to them that she has no more milk for them because she hasn't had enough to eat. When the ancients need bait to lure eagles near the cave, Owl Feather glares at Jay's Wing, telling him that he won't use her kits for bait.
- Running Fox, Lapping Wave, and Strong Pounce are fighting and wrestling over who'll be the eagle, and who'll attack the eagle before a hunting patrol returns to the cave.
