Dawnpelt

Dawnpelt is a pale cream-furred she-cat.
Dawnpelt was a ShadowClan warrior who served under Blackstar's and Rowanstar's leaderships in the lake territories. She was born as Dawnkit to Tawnypelt and Rowanclaw alongside her brothers, Tigerkit and Flamekit. Dawnpaw temporarily joined ThunderClan while ShadowClan was under Sol's influence. Her temporary mentor was Spiderleg, but when she returned to ShadowClan following Sol's exile, Ivytail became her mentor. As a warrior, Dawnpelt blamed Jayfeather for Flametail's death, believing the ThunderClan medicine cat purposely let her brother drown. Later, she and Crowfrost became mates and had three kits, Juniperclaw, Strikestone, and Sleekwhisker. Dawnpelt became a mentor to Beenose and Violetshine, and was devastated when her mate, Crowfrost, died. Wanting to stay with her kits, Dawnpelt reluctantly joined the Kin. While trying to escape with Juniperclaw and Strikestone, she was caught and killed by Darktail. Thereafter, she became a ghost before ascending to StarClan and gave Tigerstar one of his nine lives.
==History==
===Power of Three===
:Dawnkit is born to Tawnypelt and Rowanclaw along with Flamekit and Tigerkit. Her mother temporarily leaves the Clans to journey to the Tribe of Rushing Water, and Snowbird takes care of Dawnkit and her littermates in her absence. She is apprenticed to Ivytail, but when Sol convinces ShadowClan to abandon their faith in StarClan, Tawnypelt takes her children to ThunderClan, where Dawnpaw is temporarily apprenticed to Spiderleg. Dawnpaw, along with her littermates, Lionblaze, Hollyleaf, and Jaypaw, fakes a sign for ShadowClan to regain their faith in StarClan and is astonished when two real spirits, Raggedstar and Runningnose, actually appear. With ShadowClan's faith restored, Dawnpaw and her family return to ShadowClan.
===Omen of the Stars===
:She is now a warrior with the name of Dawnpelt. When it is decided that two cats from each Clan will journey upstream to investigate the cause of the drought, Dawnpelt volunteers to go, though her brother, Tigerheart, is chosen instead. She argues with Tigerheart about which of them would make a better deputy. When Flametail drowns beneath the frozen lake, Dawnpelt is outraged, insisting that her brother had been murdered by Jayfeather. She becomes increasingly aggressive, and at a Gathering, asserts to all the Clans that Jayfeather murdered Flametail. Tigerheart supports her, and Jayfeather is barred from his medicine cat duties until he proves his innocence, confronting Flametail in StarClan. During the battle against the Dark Forest, Dawnpelt is attacked by Redwillow, a ShadowClan warrior who betrayed the Clans by swearing allegiance to the Dark Forest.
===A Vision of Shadows===
:Dawnpelt has become mates with Crowfrost. After their kits, Juniperpaw, Strikepaw, and Sleekpaw, become apprentices, she receives her first apprentice, Beepaw. However, when ShadowClan's apprentices spark a rebellion, Juniperpaw and Sleekpaw leave to join the Kin, though Strikepaw chooses to remain in ShadowClan. Crowfrost succumbs to yellowcough, devastating Dawnpelt, and her apprentice, Beepaw, leaves to join the rogues as well. When Violetkit returns from Darktail's camp, Dawnpelt is appointed as her mentor, and the two form a close bond. Eventually, Darktail's group arrives in ShadowClan's camp with intention of taking over. Dawnpelt reluctantly joins the Kin so that she can remain with her kits.
:Dawnpelt grows to regret her decision after witnessing Darktail's true nature and organizes cats to escape. She is successful in getting Juniperclaw and Strikestone to ThunderClan, but reveals to Violetpaw that Sleekwhisker enjoys being part of the Kin too much to even try and convince her otherwise. When Dawnpelt attempts to escape, she is caught by Darktail, who offers to escort her to the border personally. However, she is never seen again, much to the distress of her family, leading many to believe that Darktail drowned her, like he had done with many other cats. This is revealed to have been the case, and her ghost is eventually summoned from the lake by Tree. She sends a message to Puddleshine to not dispel the shadows and moves on to StarClan.
