^{Cloudstar's Journey, chapter 3}

Tansypaw is an apprentice of SkyClan. When Cloudstar and Buzzardtail, her father, go hunt at SkyClan's borders, they discuss Cloudstar's future kits with Birdflight. Buzzardtail warns Cloudstar that he will not be so eager for his kits to bother him when they become more playful, and Cloudstar reminds him that he does not recall Buzzardtail fighting back against his own kits. It is noted that Tansypaw, along with her siblings, Mintpaw and Snailpaw, are skilled SkyClan cats, and that Buzzardtail had been gentle with them after their birth.

While Cloudstar climbs a tree, she and her brother, Snailpaw, quarrel, but he stops them, and sends Tansypaw to work with him on tree-climbing. It is noted that she seems to be the bravest and most eager of her siblings. When Cloudstar sends Mintpaw and Snailpaw away on different routes alone, Tansypaw seems smug. Mintpaw and Snailpaw are close by, and Tansypaw exclaims that they are shaking her branch, but Cloudstar tells her that wind can shake branches too, so this is good practice. Tansypaw almost falls off the tree, and Cloudstar has to grab her scruff and yank her up next to him, while her siblings reach a branch lower than hers and her leader's. However, Tansypaw does not lose her optimism after being rescued by Cloudstar. When her brother and sister reach their branch, they scout for another tree to get to without jumping down for extra practice. Snailpaw seems bewildered but Tansypaw is still ecstatic. They continue jumping from branch to branch and they all are successful. Cloudstar gives them a challenge to see their progress, but a Twoleg monster pushes down the tree they were in, and Tansypaw narrowly avoids being crushed by the falling tree. Her mother, Fernpelt, asks what happened to them when they reach camp and frets about Mintpaw, who had lost consciousness, and tries to help Quailheart and Fawnstep tend to her. When SkyClan goes to take back some of ThunderClan's territory, she and her littermates are told to stay behind and protect the camp, in order to keep them from getting upset about not going to the battle.
