This article is about Sparrowpelt from SkyClan; you may be looking for Halftail from ThunderClan, whose original name was Sparrowpelt.
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
"The code gives us strength. And the certainty that StarClan watches over us."
— Sparrowpelt to the rogues in After the Flood, page 72


Sparrowpelt is a dark brown tabby tom[10] with yellow eyes.[11]

Sparrowpelt is an elder of SkyClan under Leafstar's leadership in the gorge and lake territories who formerly served as a warrior. Boris was a kittypet along with his sister, Cherry, and they both abandoned their lives as kittypets to be SkyClan apprentices. Boris was renamed Sparrowpaw with Leafdapple and Sandstorm as his mentors. He fought for his Clan in a battle against rats, and afterwards, he earned his warrior name of Sparrowpelt. He was then given his first apprentice, Tinycloud.

He became mates with Tinycloud, and they had two kits, Parsleyseed and Pebbleshine. Sparrowpelt traveled to the lake with the rest of the Clan, and at their new territory, Tinycloud had another litter of kits, Pigeonkit, Sunnykit, and Quailkit. Upon settling by the lake, Sparrowpelt received Nectarsong as his second apprentice. He later retired to the elders' den alongside his sister, Cherrytail.

A Vision of Shadows[]

"I can't wait until my kits are old enough to explore here. It's a good place to grow up."
―Sparrowpelt about his kits Darkest Night, page 249
His mate, Tinycloud, is heavily pregnant with their second litter when SkyClan reaches the lake, and she later gives birth to Pigeonkit, Sunnykit, and Quailkit. He helps around in SkyClan as they settle near the lake, and mentors Nectarpaw. However, he is later poisoned by Juniperclaw, who had put deathberry seeds in a vole, which Sparrowpelt unsuspectingly ate and gets very sick, though Frecklewish is able to save him.

Cherrypaw: "We never told him we were sorry for calling him names."
Sparrowpaw: "I wish we had."
—Cherrypaw and Sparrowpaw mourning Skywatcher's death Firestar's Quest, page 352
In Firestar's Quest, Boris is a young kittypet tormenting Moony with his sister Cherry, and Firestar later discovers that both Boris and Cherry are descended from ancient SkyClan. He and his sister are intrigued by the two Clan cats' skills, and Sandstorm agrees to teach him. They agree to join the new SkyClan and help Firestar and Sandstorm recruit others. He is renamed Sparrowpaw and he and Cherrypaw become the Clan's first apprentices, with Sparrowpaw becoming Leafdapple's apprentice. He later participates in the battle against the rats and earns his warrior name of Sparrowpelt, as well as gaining Tinypaw as his apprentice.
In SkyClan's Destiny, his apprentice becomes a warrior, Tinycloud. He, along with several of his Clanmates, do not approve of the daylight-warriors, and continually gossips disapprovingly with Rockshade. He participates with the battle against the rats with the help of Stick and his cats, and aids Stick in the fight against Dodge.
In Hawkwing's Journey, he and his former apprentice, Tinycloud, are now mates and have had a litter consisting of Parsleypaw and Pebblepaw, fretting over the two when they are caught in a fire. Sparrowpelt later fights in the battle of the gorge and manages to escape with his Clan. Before they begin the journey to find ThunderClan, his kits become warriors named Parsleyseed and Pebbleshine. On the journey, however, Pebbleshine is taken by Twolegs, and Parsleyseed opts to become a kittypet, in which, Sparrowpelt reprimands his son for wanting to abandon the Clan.

SkyClan and the Stranger[]

"Eight of us trying to hunt? We'll drive away anything worth catching!"
―Sparrowpelt at a Clan meeting Beyond the Code, page 29
Sparrowpelt objects to hunting in large groups at night, fearful they would not catch anything. After escaping the gorge during a flash flood, Cherrytail discovers Lichenfur's body. Sparrowpelt cautiously asks Leafstar if she wanted them to repair the camp or sit vigil for Lichenfur, and sits next to her body. He helps with the heaviest lifting while repairing the camp, and accidentally dislocates his shoulder. Sparrowpelt defends his camp against rogues and credits the warrior code for their strength.
