Shadepelt (TPB)

Shadepelt is a very dark gray she-cat.
Shadepelt was a RiverClan elder who previously served as a warrior under Crookedstar's and Leopardstar's leaderships in the forest territories. She was born as Shadekit to Lilystem alongside her brother, Heavykit. As an apprentice, Shadepaw was mentored by Stonefur. She earned her warrior name as Shadepelt. She participated in the battle against BloodClan and later retired as an elder. Before the Clans left for the Great Journey, Shadepelt chose to remain behind with other elders.
==History==
===In The Prophecies Begin arc===
====Fire and Ice====
:Shadepaw is Stonefur's apprentice. She is on a patrol by Fireheart with her mentor and Silverstream. Stonefur picks up Fireheart's scent and looks around, but Fireheart quickly crawls into some bracken to escape from the patrol. Fireheart hears a splash and sees Silverstream swimming across the river. She tells him that he can come out from the bracken, as Stonefur and Shadepaw have left.
====A Dangerous Path====
:She is now a warrior named Shadepelt.
====The Darkest Hour====
:Leopardstar asks Shadepelt to send out hunting patrols before the battle with BloodClan, as they will need all the strength that they can get for the battle. As RiverClan and ShadowClan lead their battle patrols into the clearing, Mistyfoot touches noses with Shadepelt.
===In The New Prophecy arc===
====Midnight====
:Shadepelt is now an elder.
====Dawn====
:As Leafpaw and Firestar visit the RiverClan camp, they see Shadepelt sitting beside Mothwing in the clearing where Mudfur is, looking at the medicine cat. Leopardstar tells Firestar that Shadepelt and Loudbelly, two of RiverClan's elders, will stay behind in RiverClan's camp, with two of ThunderClan's elders, Frostfur and Speckletail. Leopardstar also tells Firestar that Shadepelt and Loudbelly are too old to travel, and that they wish to stay behind and sit vigil for RiverClan's former medicine cat, Mudfur.
===In the Super Editions===
====Crookedstar's Promise====
:Shadepaw fishes with Mosspaw. When her friend slips into the water, Shadepaw laughs at her, saying that Mosspaw should be catching the fish with her claws, not her teeth. Mosspaw irritably climbs out and tells her to be quiet. Shadepaw continues to snicker to herself, though.
====Leopardstar's Honor====

===In the Novellas===

After he dies, Shadepelt, Loudbelly, Speckletail and Frostfur elect to stay behind and sit vigil for Mudfur while the other Clans participate on the Great Journey.
