Spotfur/History

==History==
===In the A Vision of Shadows arc===
====River of Fire====
:Spotkit, Snapkit, and Flykit are the newest kits of Cinderheart and Lionblaze. When Twigpaw returns to ThunderClan, she sees Cinderheart and Blossomfall with their litters wrestling at their paws. As sickness starts to set in, Alderheart worries for Cinderheart's kits since they have been venturing around camp more often. Alderheart decides to move Briarlight to the nursery despite how crowded it is, spotting Cinderheart and her kits, along with Blossomfall and Ivypool, who is close to giving birth. When Daisy tells the kits that they can help with Briarlight's exercise, they excitedly bound towards her, but Daisy stops them before they can crush her. Unfazed, Briarlight offers to play moss ball with the kits.
:During a storm, Cinderheart and Blossomfall shelter their kits in the corners of the nursery, but move to the more sturdy elders' den at Alderheart's suggestion. After Ivypool gives birth to, Thriftkit, Bristlekit, and Flipkit, Alderheart checks on Cinderheart's litter. The fluffy gray queen curls around her kits, and tells Alderheart not to wake them, as she only sleeps when they do. Daisy adds that Spotkit and her siblings are strong cats, and apprenticeship won't be far away. When Dovewing returns from her time in the Twolegplace, she listens to the news of Cinderheart's litter eagerly.
====The Raging Storm====
:Spotpaw and her littermates have become apprentices, her mentor being Leafshade. While Flypaw and Snappaw are clearing sticks out of the training area, Flypaw complains, wondering why Spotpaw can't help. Later, Spotpaw and Snappaw strain to see over the heads of their Clanmates when a SkyClan patrol is escorted into ThunderClan's camp to speak with Bramblestar.
===In The Broken Code arc===
====Lost Stars====
:Spotfur shares prey with her mother after Rootpaw is rescued from the lake. Later, when Bristlefrost reveals her feelings to Stemleaf, the tom admits that he's in love with someone else, his gaze settling on Spotfur, who is playing with the kits outside the nursery. She joins the Clans in inspecting the frozen Moonpool, wary of disturbing the sacred place.
:She later volunteers to go on Bristlefrost's patrol to retrieve medicine for Bramblestar, much to the new warrior's annoyance, who wonders what Stemleaf prefers about her. Finding that they must cross over frozen ice to reach the herbs, Spotfur declares that it's worth the risk. However, as it becomes apparent that the ice is too thin, she frets that a cat could fall though. Bristlefrost leaps forward, discarding Spotfur's warning, and has to be saved by the tabby warrior. She apologizes to Spotfur, praising the she-cat's bravery, who says they must get her to a medicine cat. Spotfur reassures Bristlefrost, noting now she managed to get the Borage.
====The Silent Thaw====
:Bristlefrost is still slightly jealous over Stemleaf's adoration towards Spotfur. She offers to join Stemleaf to fetch fresh bracken for the elders' den, and Thriftear mocks her loving expression to Bristlefrost. Spotfur agrees that something is up with Bramblestar since he lost a life, and complains that Bramblestar is preventing Squirrelflight from organizing patrols. Later, she and her father clear out the nursery of old bedding.
:Bristlefrost, Lionblaze and Spotfur go on a patrol in the rain. She and her father disagree about the thaw representing a sign of StarClan's return. Spotfur detects a rabbit, and the three make chase. Lionblaze catches it across WindClan's border much to Bristlefrost's horror. Spotfur and Lionblaze dismiss it, and the three mark the border before returning to camp. Bristlefrost informs Bramblestar who furiously calls the two cats forward. Bramblestar accuses them of breaking the warrior code and Spotfur defends herself by citing that others, such as Squirrelflight, have broken the code worse than she did.
:Bramblestar orders no cat to speak to Spotfur for a quarter moon and exiles Lionblaze for the same time. Later, Bristlefrost catches Stemleaf speaking with Spotfur in secret and the three argue about Bramblestar's orders. Afterwards, Spotfur sleeps outside the warriors' den. When Molewhisker and his patrol bring in Rootpaw, Spotfur looks up from her mouse. She watches with interest as Bramblestar forgets the Sisters. At the Gathering, Bramblestar demonstrates his punishments for those who break the warrior code and points out to Spotfur sitting at the edge of the Gathering by herself. When he asks if she is enjoying her punishment, Spotfur does not reply, and Bramblestar purrs in amusement. She and Stemleaf eye Rootpaw with interest after his outburst. After the Gathering, they invite him to their secret meeting in three nights.
:Spotfur goes on a hunting patrol with Bristlefrost, Thornclaw, and Sparkpelt when the latter leaves to find Lionblaze. At the secret meeting, Spotfur is pleased by the number of cats and is in disbelief when Tree reveals that Bramblestar is an impostor and the real Bramblestar is a ghost. Bristlefrost arrives, and Spotfur confronts her. Bristlefrost reveals she overheard Spotfur and Stemleaf talking about it, and Spotfur accuses her of spying. She and Stemleaf confirm that Bristlefrost really wants to help and tasks her to convince Squirrelflight of the impostor.
:At the next Gathering, Spotfur and the other cats who attended the meeting shrink back in fear as Bramblestar's impostor and other Clan cats aggressively demand the codebreakers to atone. Later, Lilyheart, Stemleaf and Spotfur watch Finleap demonstrate a hunting move.
====Veil of Shadows====
:Spotfur and Stemleaf, now mates, are returning from a hunting patrol when Bristlefrost calls out to Stemleaf, insisting that they need to talk. The three cats find a sheltered spot, where Bristlefrost reveals that she'd seen Bramblestar and Berrynose return to camp the night before, the dark tabby leader covered in blood and the smell of catmint. Stemleaf believes he is up to something, and Spotfur affirms that they'll need to watch him closely. However, none of the cats propose a plan. Soon after, Bramblestar calls a meeting where he declares that he believes Shadowsight has fled the Clans, and Spotfur and Stemleaf watch with angry eyes, doubting the impostor's claim.
:When Bristlefrost returns from a patrol to SkyClan, Spotfur asks what happened, and is pleased to hear that Leafstar wasn't swayed by Bramblestar to punish SkyClan codebreakers. Stemleaf mutters that they still have no leads on Shadowsight's fate, suggesting that Bramblestar killed him. Spotfur doubts this, noting how no cat has found a body. Even so, she agrees that he would never just run off, but is hushed by Stemleaf as Thornclaw approaches. Later, Bristlefrost notes that Spotfur is among the few cats who are aware that Berrynose, ThunderClan's deputy, has been arranging patrols without direction from Bramblestar, who has become increasingly apathetic to running ThunderClan. At the Gathering, Spotfur, Stemleaf, and Bristlefrost sit grimly under the great oak as Tigerstar reports that Shadowsight is still missing.
:Spotfur joins Stemleaf and Bristlefrost in investigating the old SkyClan camp where they intend to shelter the exiles. She exclaims that SkyClan must have been sorry to leave such a great location for a camp, and Stemleaf murmurs that they didn't have much of a choice. Two exiles, Lionblaze and Crowfeather begin to bicker, and Bristlefrost asks Spotfur if it was true that the former WindClan deputy was Lionblaze's father, which the she-cat confirms, snickering that they don't get along though.
:A while later, Bristlefrost sees Spotfur gesturing to follow her to another rebel meeting. They find Stemleaf in the forest waiting for them, and silently travel into ShadowClan territory, where a crowd of cats from all the cats are assembled. Squirrelflight announces that she has faked her death to prevent Bramblestar from looking for her, and as the cats argue about whether they lie to a leader, Spotfur yowls that they certainly could, as Stemleaf affirms that he's not their true leader. As the subject shifts to Bramblestar, many cats assert that he should be killed, with even Spotfur and Stemleaf nodding warily.
:As Bristlefrost is alone with Bramblestar in the forest, she sees Spotfur, Stemleaf, Kitescratch, Dappletuft, and Conefoot stalking towards them, and the rebel group springs into battle as Bristlefrost accidentally alerts the impostor. They battle alone until Bristlefrost brings a ThunderClan patrol, prompting Spotfur and Kitescratch to flee, as Dappletuft, Conefoot, and Stemleaf are killed.
:Spotfur and Squirrelflight bring Berrynose to the rebel camp after the former deputy is exiled by Bramblestar. When they reveal that Bristlefrost has been appointed deputy in Berrynose's place, the spotted tabby growls that she betrayed them by warning Bramblestar and bringing a patrol to help him, though Squirrelflight defends her. The cats argue further about Berrynose, who is still loyal to Bramblestar, and Spotfur laments that they care so much for him when Stemleaf, Dappletuft, and Conefoot were dead. Tigerstar says that they acted against orders, since the rebel group had agreed to keep Bramblestar alive, but Spotfur questions how long they will let him go on terrorizing the Clans. The she-cat, exhausted, snarls that she doesn't want her mate to have died for nothing.
:As Spotfur vows that the cat inside Bramblestar will pay for what he did, Rootspring spies Stemleaf's spirit gazing lovingly at his grief-stricken mate. Tigerstar supports the ThunderClan warrior, who goes on to mention how the impostor has exiled both of ThunderClan's medicine cats, daring to ask how much more the other Clans will let him get away with. Squirrelflight notes that they need a cat on the inside to deliver information to them, and when Tigerstar suggests Bristlefrost, Spotfur dismisses her as a traitor, instead suggesting Flipclaw. 
====Darkness Within====
:Spotfur continues to heavily grieve the loss of her mate, Stemleaf. She attends the all-Clan vigil for the fallen warriors, and Bristlefrost sits next to her and comforts her. In the morning, Rootspring offers his sorrow for Stemleaf's death, and Spotfur vacantly thanks him. After Graystripe, Snaptooth, Flywhisker, Thornclaw and Flipclaw leave ThunderClan to wander, Bristlefrost almost runs into Spotfur while descending the rock tumble. Bristlefrost apologizes, noticing Spotfur's unease, and asks if she's alright. Spotfur bitterly replies she's fine. Bristlefrost comments how unnerving it is with their Clanmates gone, but Spotfur shrugs there's no point in making them say if they wish to leave. Bristlefrost is surprised by Spotfur's nonchalance, and silently vows to herself to do whatever it takes to make her Clan become whole again.
:When Rootspring and Tree fear the ghosts of their fallen Clanmates are in trouble, Squirrelflight volunteers Bristlefrost and Spotfur to join Needleclaw and Rootspring to find the Sisters. Unlike Bristlefrost who is excited to venture outside Clan territory, Spotfur is blunt and keeps to herself. She accidentally gets her paw stuck in a tiny dip, and Bristlefrost asks Rootspring if they can make camp for the night. Bristlefrost and Spotfur decide to check out the nearby Twoleg nest for Pancakes while the SkyClan cats hunt, though Spotfur stops her Clanmate from making small talk. After being chased by a dog, two kits, Eggs and Bacon, inform the ThunderClan warriors about Leaf, a former member of the Sisters who recently passed through. They report back to Rootspring and Needleclaw, and sleep for the night, Spotfur deciding not to eat.
:The next day, Spotfur complains about nausea and grows weary. The group comes across a large Twolegplace and falls into a large puddle of water near the Thunderpath. Rootspring pulls her up and bats a Twoleg trying to grab her. The group manages to successfully navigate several Thunderpaths through the Twolegplace. Leaf saves them from a dog and is eager to meet Rootspring and Needleclaw, his kin. He asks Spotfur if he's also their kin, and when she replies no, Leaf is disappointed that the Sisters won't have new kits. Spotfur stiffens, and Leaf clarifies that she's expecting. Spotfur panics and Bristlefrost is pleased that she'll be having Stemleaf's kits. Spotfur wonders how she'll raise them alone, and Bristlefrost responds she'll have her Clan. The conversation moves onto the reason of the group's quest, and Leaf agrees to take them to the Sisters.
:Spotfur is lost in thought when Leaf leaves them. When the group decides to hunt before continuing on, Spotfur decides to hunt by herself. However, she is attacked by a hawk and it tries to lift her away. Bristlefrost, Rootspring and Needleclaw free her, but Spotfur attacks the hawk in an attempt to kill it. Bristlefrost is surprised by her Clanmate's uncharacteristically reckless behavior and yowls for her to stop. The hawk flings Spotfur off and flies away. Spotfur insists she could've caught it, but Bristlefrost scolds her for risking the life of her kits. Spotfur reveals she is unsure about wanting her kits in the first place, much to Bristlefrost's surprise, who assumed Spotfur would be please that Stemleaf will live on through their kits. Spotfur snaps that Stemleaf is gone and ThunderClan doesn't feel safe anymore, worrying how to raise her kits alone. Bristlefrost comforts Spotfur, promising that things will get better and vows to help raise her kits.
:The group discovers the Sisters, and Spotfur declines Snow's offer to treat her wounds. While the Sisters debate whether or not to help the Clans, Moonlight, their former leader, appears as a ghost and encourages them to help. She leads the Sisters into a ceremony welcoming Spotfur's unborn kits. The Sisters and several of their ancestors gather around Spotfur and purr, with Snow revealing her kits are special. Their pelts brush against Spotfur, and she slowly relaxes. After the ceremony, Bristlefrost notes that Spotfur appears much calmer than before. When Needleclaw argues that Clan cats only choose mates within their own Clan as accordance with the warrior code, Spotfur notes that Dovewing and Finleap both left to follow their love in another Clan. When the Sisters and the Clan cats arrive back in Clan territory, Bristlefrost rushes ahead without Spotfur. Later, when Rootspring asks if Bristlefrost will leave ThunderClan to join him in SkyClan, Bristlefrost insists she had promised Spotfur she'd help raise her kits and can't back down on her word.
====The Place of No Stars====
:When Flipclaw tells ThunderClan that Snaptooth and Flywhisker are kittypets, Spotfur lowers her head in sadness. Later, Spotfur confronts Lionblaze for his outbursts, pointing out that ThunderClan has no true leader and that any other cat can be deputy as well.
====A Light in the Mist====
:After breaking Stemleaf out of Ashfur's control, Bristlefrost tells him that he needs to watch over Spotfur. When Mapleshade attacks Stemleaf, Shadowsight thinks that Spotfur needs him in StarClan. Rootspring explains his relationship with Bristlefrost to Stemleaf, who describes his love for Spotfur and how they belong together. Bristlefrost tells him that Spotfur is having his kits. Shadowsight later uses this as an example of how hope can break the barrier. During the battle in the Dark Forest, Stemleaf says that he can focus on her and their kits to resist Ashfur's control. During the vigil, Spotfur asks Rootspring if he can make Stemleaf appear to her so she can speak with him, begging him to try. He tells her how much she meant to Stemleaf and that he cannot make him appear, which she mournfully accepts.

===In the Novellas===
====Spotfur's Rebellion====
:On her second day as an apprentice, Spotpaw learns the Clan borders from her mentor, Leafshade, with Rosepetal and Stempaw. As their mentors talk, Spotpaw hopes to gain Stempaw's friendship by showing how brave she is by approaching the WindClan border. However, Leafshade scolds Spotpaw for stirring up trouble not long after Darktail's defeat. In camp, Stempaw admires Spotpaw's rebelliousness, and Spotpaw admits the older cats are tense because of Darktail but is convinced she wouldn't be fooled by any rogue. Shellpaw taunts Spotpaw's naivetes, and as he and his mentor Bumblestripe leave to train, Spotpaw convinces Stempaw that they should follow them. Spotpaw's mocks Bumblestripe's apparent inattentiveness, and as she prepares to tackle him, Bumblestripe aggressively pins her down.
:Bumblestripe scolds Spotpaw for her inexcusable behavior, and leads them to camp to report to their mentors. Rosepetal and Leafshade decide to punish Spotpaw and Stempaw separately since they believe they are bad influences on each other, and Leafshade has Spotpaw clean Bramblestar's den for a moon. As Spotpaw sulks in the apprentices' den, her parents gently reprimand her about the importance of being a loyal and honorable member of the Clan. A moon later, the camp floods and Spotpaw notices Flipkit left behind and leads him to the Clan's temporary shelter. 
:Moons later, a harsh leaf-bare arrives bringing scarcity of prey. When Thriftpaw digs through the medicine cats' storage of herbs to find a cure for Baykit's cough, Dewnose punishes her by having her search for fresh marigold. Spotfur worries for Thriftpaw when it gets dark and she hasn't returned, and goes to look for her with Dewnose, Honeyfur, and Stemleaf. The wind picks up and the temperature drops, and they find Thriftpaw sheltering near a fallen tree. While Thriftpaw is fine, Spotfur worries she might have gotten seriously hurt because of Dewnose's foolish punishment, and convinces Bramblestar that apprentices shouldn't be sent out of camp alone during this harsh season. Spotfur notices Bristlefrost, who has always been cheerful as a kit and apprentice, act awkwardly around Spotfur, and Stemleaf reveals the younger she-cat asked to be his mate. Stemleaf admits he always had feelings for another cat, Spotfur.
:Bramblestar falls ill and as she worries for their leader, Stemleaf asks to be her mate, and Spotfur accepts. However, Shadowpaw's plan to cure Bramblestar results in the Clan leader's death. Spotfur remarks how Bramblestar always listened to her despite her inexperience, but to every cats' surprise, Bramblestar is revived. New-leaf finally arrives, but Spotfur notices that Bramblestar is beginning to act strangely. He sends Lilyheart out on the still snowy moor for the night when she fails to catch any prey, and punishes her and Lionblaze after they accidentally catch prey across the border. After her quarter moon of silence, Spotfur and Stemleaf resolve that they can't be the only ones feeling that something is odd about Bramblestar, and Spotfur attempts to speak with her Clanmates about their leader. Twigbranch and Finleap agree with Spotfur and Stemleaf about Bramblestar's punishment of the codebreakers. She and Stemleaf host a meeting of rebel cats to discuss their concerns about Bramblestar, with Rootpaw revealing that the actual Bramblestar's spirit is trapped as a ghost and a different cat is possessing his body. As the Clan cats debate in bewilderment, Bristlefrost arrives and wishes to help.
:A moon later, Spotfur and Stemleaf debate on what Tigerstar had said about potentially killing the impostor when Bristlefrost arrives in camp with news that Squirrelflight is dead, though Bristlefrost later tells Spotfur that Squirrelflight faked her death. After Shadowsight is found after his disappearance, a majority of the rebels are ready to kill Bramblestar's impostor, but they decide to wait until Shadowsight wakes up. However, Stemleaf and Spotfur are determined to carry the act immediately, with Spotfur recalling that the impostor is not her leader and a loyal warrior is dedicated to her Clan. The next day, Spotfur, Stemleaf, Kitescratch, Conefoot, and Dappletuft are prepared to assassinate the impostor, knowing if they fail it could result in their deaths or banishment. Spotfur and Stemleaf are determined to do this for the future of their Clan and future kits. Soon Bramblestar and Bristlefrost arrive alone, and Spotfur leads the attack. Bristlefrost rushes to get help. The fight is brutal, but as Dappletuft falls, the others redouble their efforts. A patrol arrives to aid their leader, and Shellfur is prepared to fight Spotfur when he notices Stemleaf's limp body. Kitescratch and Spotfur, the only survivors, flee; their mission has failed, and Spotfur sorrowfully mourns her mate's death.
:Now exiled from ThunderClan, Spotfur takes shelter in the rebels' camp in ShadowClan's land, and she grieves her lost future with Stemleaf and their kits. Tigerstar admonishes them for acting too soon, but Squirrelflight comforts Spotfur, and encourages her to fight for the future of their Clan. Spotfur realizes that her planned future with Stemleaf may be gone, but she still has something to fight for.
====Daisy's Kin====
:Sorrelstripe mentions to Daisy that Spotfur had recently kitted, and would feel much better if the latter was there. When Daisy returns to ThunderClan's camp, Alderheart mentions that Spotfur's kits are adorable but Spotfur and the kits require an experienced queen to help them.
