Turtlecrawl

Turtlecrawl is a tortoiseshell she-cat.
Turtlecrawl is a SkyClan warrior under Leafstar's leadership in the lake territories. She was born as Turtlekit to Reedclaw and Quailfeather along with her brother, Kitekit. She became an apprentice named Turtlepaw with Blossomheart as her mentor, and she and Kitepaw often teased Rootpaw because of his father, Tree. She later became a warrior known as Turtlecrawl, and eventually grew to respect Rootspring.
==History==
===In The Broken Code arc===
====Lost Stars====
:Turtlepaw is a SkyClan apprentice with her mentor being Blossomheart. She exits the apprentices' den with Kitepaw to watch Rootkit and Needlekit's apprentice ceremony. Once the two kits are made apprentices, she approaches them, teasing them about how proud their mother, Violetshine, looks as opposed to their father, Tree. However, Rootpaw and Needlepaw defend their father. Afterwards, Kitepaw and Turtlepaw return to the apprentices' den to make their nests.
:Two days later, she trains with Blossomheart, Kitepaw, and his mentor, Sagenose. Kitepaw manages to knock Turtlepaw off her paws, landing on top of her with his muzzle at her throat. When Rootpaw is attempting a battle move, she gives him some advice. However, Kitepaw taunts the young yellow tom, causing Rootpaw to threaten a fight. Turtlepaw warns them that fighting will only get them in trouble, yet adds that had they fought, he likely would not have won. This causes Rootpaw to launch himself at Turtlepaw, though the older apprentice dodges his blows easily and immobilizes him. Turtlepaw asserts Rootpaw should have known better than to attack, and that Kitepaw was right in his teasing, suggesting that he leave.
:Turtlepaw and Kitepaw suggest that to prove himself, Rootpaw should help them collect herbs by the lake, believing that such an act might earn them their warrior names. On the way, Turtlepaw accuses him of being afraid, but he replies that his shivering is because of the cold, though Turtlepaw doubts this. When Rootpaw tries to leave, Turtlepaw asserts that he should return to the nursery and cry to his mother. He charges them, but the apprentices dodge, and Rootpaw falls into the lake.
:A ThunderClan patrol watches Turtlepaw and Kitepaw running back and forth along the water's edge, and one apprentice, Bristlepaw, jumps into the lake to rescue Rootpaw. The patrol scolds the two SkyClan apprentices, who admit that it was partly their fault. Turtlepaw apologizes to Rootpaw, and goes back to camp to report what happened. She and Kitepaw are mentioned by Bristlepaw when Rootpaw is recovering in the ThunderClan camp, insisting to him that he need not listen to their jeering.
:When Rootpaw returns to SkyClan, Turtlepaw and Kitepaw are being reprimanded by Leafstar and Hawkwing. Rootpaw shyly greets them, and asks about their punishment, to which Turtlepaw responds that Leafstar made them clean the dirtplace. Uncomfortable with the situation, Kitepaw asks his sister to hunt with him, and the two cats stalk off.
:After Rootpaw deposits his crow onto the fresh-kill pile, Turtlepaw compliments his catch. Rootpaw offers to share with her and Kitepaw, which they accept. Rootpaw shares his fears that Dewspring is disappointed in him, but Turtlepaw retorts that she felt the same way about her mentor when she was a new apprentice. She and Kitepaw are recalled by Rootpaw eyeing the dwindling fresh-kill pile resentfully after Rootpaw had given up his prey as a gift to Bristlepaw.
====The Silent Thaw====
:She is now a warrior named Turtlecrawl.
====Veil of Shadows====
:Turtlecrawl, Kitescratch, Gravelnose, and Pigeonfoot overhear Tigerstar insisting that the rebels, ShadowClan, and SkyClan must overthrow Bramblestar's impostor. She and the others wish to sneak into ThunderClan territory to find evidence to convince Leafstar to confront the impostor. Kitescratch asks Rootspring to join them, but he refuses since he has to attend his vigil that night.
====Darkness Within====
:Turtlecrawl and her brother, Kitescratch, are briefly seen when Rootspring scans SkyClan's camp. The pair of cats are helping do apprentice tasks and cleaning out the elders' den, bringing them new bedding. Rootspring thinks to himself that he grew up with Turtlecrawl and Kitescratch, and tried very hard to embrace the skills he inherited from Tree in order to impress the two older cats, who had relentlessly bullied him.
====The Place of No Stars====
:Rootspring recalls how Kitepaw and Turtlepaw taunted him enough that he fell in the frozen lake as he nearly drowns in the dark lake in the Dark Forest.
====A Light in the Mist====
:Turtlecrawl glances admirably at Rootspring when he is named a Light in the Mist.

====Squirrelflight's Hope====
:Turtlekit and Kitekit are kits in SkyClan, born to Reedclaw and Quailfeather. When Squirrelflight arrives in the SkyClan camp, she sees her and her brother playing in the puddles with two smaller kits. She mentions that she and Kitekit cannot be older than three moons. Tree tells the ThunderClan deputy that Turtlekit and Kitekit are Reedclaw's kits when she asks about them.
