History

In the Dawn of the Clans Arc

Path of Stars

Swallow is a member of Slash's group of rogue cats. She and Splinter are keeping guard, watching over Star Flower, who is a hostage. She is initially spotted by Fern, when the she-cat leads Thunder to where Star Flower is being held, in a shelter of bracken.

After Slash's group experiences conflict, the orange she-cat approaches Slash, asking if she can join his group. She is given the chance to join Thunder and the forest cats, or continue serving under Slash. She takes the chance to rejoin Slash and his group, claiming that she is a hunter, not prey to be hunted. Slash blinks approvingly at Swallow, and tells her to come with him.

Later when Slash surprisingly shows up the meeting with his rogues, Thunder realizes one isn't there. He then realizes it's the orange she cat called Swallow. During the meeting, Slash's cats attack Wind Runner's camp and Swallow steals Gray Wing's son, Black Ear. Thunder, Owl Eyes and Sparrow Fur go looking for Swallow's trail and find that Slash came to fetch her and Black Ear after the meeting.

After a brief encounter with fox, Thunder and the others catch up to Slash's group with the help of Clear Sky. Slash and his cats bolt across the Thunderpath but Swallow slips and drops Black Ear. She gets up and flees for the pines after her camp mates.
