Jake (TPB)

Jake is a flame-colored ginger tabby tom with green eyes.
Jake was born to Crystal alongside his littermates, Ferris and Whiskers. He was an oddly adventurous kittypet with a history of frequently friendly interactions with Clan cats while he sat on the fence that bordered ThunderClan territory. He befriended Talltail, a WindClan warrior seeking revenge on his father's death, and joined him on his quest. He convinced Talltail that killing Sparrow would not bring justice, nor fix the problem. After their mission was completed, Jake went back to his housefolk, vowing to never forget Talltail or their adventure together. He also befriended Pinestar, ThunderClan's leader, showing his way of life, and later welcomed Pinestar when he decided to become a kittypet. After his death, Jake went to an unnamed afterlife. Jake had two mates; he fathered Tiny, Ruby, and Socks with Quince, and Rusty, Princess, Filou, Tommy, and Luna with Nutmeg. Firestar not only inherited Jake's physical appearance, but he also inherited his father's adventurous and curious nature. 
==History==
===Super Editions===
:In Tallstar's Revenge, after saving Talltail's life when he eats a poisoned rat, Jake convinces the WindClan warrior to let him participate in his mission by guiding him through the Twolegplace. Despite their differences, the two grow close, and Jake is eager to learn more about Clan's life. When the two find Sparrow, whom Talltail believes killed Sandgorse, Jake convinces Talltail to not murder him, arguing he knows his friend well enough to know Talltail is not a killer. After their journey, Jake insists Talltail belongs as a warrior, and that he himself could never fit in in WindClan, and the two bitter-sweetly part ways. In the manga, Jake walks with Tallstar to StarClan.
:In Bluestar's Prophecy, Bluepaw meets Jake while hunting near his fence, and he tries to start a conversation and is curious about the Clans. Pinestar scolds her for speaking with a kittypet. Later, Bluefur suspiciously catches Pinestar speaking with Jake several times.

After Sparrow's attempted murder, Jake and Talltail departed from the rogue group and traveled back to the forest territories, where he parted with Talltail sadly to go return to his Twolegs. Tallstar even states that Firestar was Jake's copy and that the flame-colored ThunderClan leader reminds him of Jake every day.
