==History==
 
===In the [[:Category:Super Edition Series|Super Edition Series]]===
 
====''[[Firestar's Quest]]''====
 
:Before joining SkyClan, he is a nameless [[rogue]], although he has a faint memory of his mother calling him Scratch. He is first seen when [[Firestar]] is hunting near a fallen tree. Firestar calls out to him, but Scratch does not turn around.
 
 
:Later, when Firestar and [[Sandstorm]] battle a [[fox]] that tries to get to [[Clovertail|Clover's]] [[Kit|kits]], Scratch helps them fight it off. He then tells [[Firestar]] and [[Sandstorm]] his name. He is reluctant at first to join [[SkyClan]], saying that he does fine on his own, but agrees to give it a try.
 
 
:When Scratch hears that Firestar is going to have a meeting to tell other cats about the Clan, he offers to take Firestar to meet other [[Rogue|rogues]] that live near SkyClan camp to come to the meeting. Firestar agrees, and they go and find the rogues.
 
 
:He joins SkyClan eventually, but Firestar is worried that he is only interested in becoming [[leader]] and gaining the respect and power he would be granted from a leader's nine lives.
 
 
:When Firestar gets back from the first hunting patrol after the SkyClan meeting is held, he finds Sandstorm and Scratch having a fierce quarrel over who eats first. Firestar resolves the fight and explains to the rogue the ways of the Clans. Still irritated, Scratch glares at Clover.
 
 
:Scratch is later given the name Sharpclaw by Firestar. He receives [[Cherrytail|Cherrypaw]] as his apprentice. During his time in SkyClan, Sharpclaw proves himself a powerful and courageous cat and is one of the obvious choices for [[Clan]] leader, but Firestar feels he does not respect and understand the [[The Warrior Code|warrior code]] enough. After the rats attack the camp, It is shown that he becomes more cautious about battles, instead of rushing into battle. His apprentice, Cherrypaw is later named as Cherrytail. He is later seen fighting courageously in the battle with the [[Rat|rats]].
 
 
:When [[Leafstar|Leafdapple]] is chosen as the leader of SkyClan, she names Sharpclaw as the first modern SkyClan [[deputy]]. That is when he finally realizes what it truly means to be a Clan cat.
 
 
====''[[SkyClan's Destiny]]''====
 
:Sharpclaw is one of cats opposing Leafstar's decision of letting kittypets come to the gorge and act as warriors during the day, but returning to their housefolk at night. Leafstar calls them daylight-warriors while he shows a slight scorn for them, calling them kitty-warriors behind their backs.
 
 
:Leafstar doesn't want to begin [[Rockshade|Rockpaw]], [[Bouncefire|Bouncepaw]], and [[Tinycloud|Tinypaw's]][[warrior|warrior ceremony]] without the daylight-warriors, but Sharpclaw convinces her to go ahead, showing disrespect for the warriors with a paw in each world.
 
 
:While Sharpclaw is organizing the patrols, he acts as if Ebonyclaw and the other daylight-warriors mean nothing to the Clan. Leafstar speaks with him, and he calls them "kitty-warriors." He makes fun of [[Snooky|Snookpaw's]] name, and points out how [[Ebonyclaw]] wears a collar. It seems as if he is out to do everything possible to be against the daylight-warriors.
 
 
:When it begins to snow, Sharpclaw is irritated, instead of excited like the other cats. He complains that they got too much in leaf-bare, let alone newleaf. He then offers to search the extra caves, pointing out that they could be useful for storing prey or extra dens.
 
 
:Tinycloud, Rockshade, and Bouncefire complain about wanting to go hunting. Sharpclaw steps in, saying that it's the Clan deputy who sets the patrols.
 
 
:He is shown to be incredibly supportive of the newcomers when they arrive. He often overruns Leafstar's opinion over [[Stick (Cat)|Stick's]], which rather irritates her. In face of the newcomers, he does things and sends orders around the camp without Leafstar's permission. During the rat invasion, he takes Stick's side over Leafstar's, who wished to follow what Firestar had led down for them.
 
 
:Secretly, he also confides about Stick's true problem and often takes out groups of cats for training in the [[Twolegplace]] with the newcomers at night. This act is noticed by [[Billystorm]] and is reported to Leafstar who doesn't believe it until she actually witnesses one of these new training lessons, often headed by Sharpclaw and Stick.
 
 
:He participates in the final battle between SkyClan and the newcomers, [[Dodge]] and his group of cats in the different Twolegplace. He also gains the respect of a new member of SkyClan, [[Egg]], persuading him to join the Clan under the pretext of there being a fox in the area. He later becomes Egg's [[Mentor|mentor]].
 
 
===In the [[:Category:Field Guide Series|Field Guide Series]]===
 
====''[[Cats of the Clans]]''====
 
:[[Rock (Healer)|Rock]] says that although Sharpclaw was a rogue named Scratch, he has the jumping ability and courage of a fully trained SkyClan warrior. Rock says that he will make a great leader someday, but he still has a lot left to learn from Leafstar, and adds that there might be less blood spilled while she is leader.
 
 
====''[[Battles of the Clans]]''====
 
:Sharpclaw does not formally appear but is mentioned as the deputy of modern SkyClan.
 
 
===In the [[:Category:SkyClan and the Stranger Series|SkyClan and the Stranger Series]]===
 
====''[[The Rescue]]''====
 
:Sharpclaw is first seen telling [[Sandypaw]] and [[Honeypaw]] to quit playing around, threatening that he'll find something else for them to do. Sharpclaw then confronts a patrol consisting of [[Ebonyclaw]], [[Mintfur]], and [[Shrewtooth]]. He listens to their report about an old fox scent and compliments Ebonyclaw on the tactic she used to handle the situation, which proved that the gorge-born warriors and the daylight warriors are getting along at last.
 
 
:Soon after, Leafstar sees Cherrytail and Sharpclaw going somewhere together and she stops them to have a word with him. She asks him if he's going to check the old fox scent himself and he awkwardly says that he's going hunting with Cherrytail but that they'll check it anyway. Both he and Cherrytail appear nervous. Leafstar notices this and wonders out loud what's up with them after they leave. [[Clovertail]] says that it's obvious that Sharpclaw and Cherrytail like each other and may become mates, and possibly have kits. Leafstar expresses surprise over this, saying that he always seems so dedicated to his deputy duties and that she never thought that he would consider a mate. [[Echosong]] reassures her, stating that Sharpclaw would never abandon his responsiblities, whatever he feels for Cherrytail.
 
 
:Sharpclaw returns and reports to Leafstar about the fox scent again. Afterwards, Leafstar asks Sharpclaw if she could lead a patrol, but he declines, saying that she could kit any day now. Leafstar gets angry, but Sharpclaw calmly points out that if she was a normal [[queen]] than she would be confined to the nursery by now. She gets his point and reluctantly agrees. When Leafstar and her kits get caught by an elderly [[Twoleg]], Sharpclaw brings a patrol to help rescue her. The Twoleg comes out with milk for the cats and Sharpclaw bristles and becomes aggressive, getting ready to attack her. Leafstar stops him, saying that she means no harm, and he and the other cats are forced to leave.
 
 
:At the end of the book, he leads another patrol to the Twoleg nest, and this time the plan succeeds, bringing Leafstar and her kits back to SkyClan.
 
 
===In the [[Warriors App|''Warriors'' App]]===
 
 
:Sharpclaw's page in the ''Warriors'' App reveals the story of his past that he has kept hidden from his Clan.
 
 
:Sharpclaw is born as a kit named Scratch to [[Jessamy]], a kittypet, along with his sister, [[Flower]]. They are initially happy with their elderly [[twoleg|Twoleg]] owner, but the Twoleg leaves suddenly and Sharpclaw and his family are left with his younger kin. The younger Twoleg kits treat the trio badly, holding them harshly and when they don't want to, playing rough, and eventually Jessamy takes herself and her kits into the wild where she teaches them how to survive.
 
 
==Trivia==
 
*Sharpclaw was seen in ''[[The Rescue]]'' as a solid-coloured cat instead of a tabby. {{cite}}
