Littlecloud

Littlecloud is a very small, brown tabby tom. He has bright blue eyes, a light brown tail and a brown nose.
Littlecloud was a ShadowClan medicine cat that served under Nightstar's, Tigerstar's, Blackstar's, and Rowanstar's leaderships in the forest and lake territories. He was born as Littlekit to Newtspeck alongside his brothers, Brownkit and Wetkit. As an apprentice, Littlepaw was mentored by Clawface and was apprenticed at three moons old. He looked up to his mentor and Brokenstar during his apprenticeship and befriended Volepaw. As an apprentice, Littlepaw fought in many battles against WindClan and even survived an encounter with rats. After becoming a warrior, Littlecloud became ill with the Carrionplace sickness, seeking help from ThunderClan, where he and Whitethroat were nursed back to health in secret by Cinderpelt. This inspired Littlecloud to take the path of a medicine cat and was apprenticed under Runningnose. He became a mentor to Flametail, although he drowned before Littlecloud could retire. Littlecloud died from unspecified causes after serving his Clan for many moons; however, he was left with no successor, and ThunderClan's medicine cat, Leafpool, succeeded him so she could teach Puddlekit. Littlecloud ascended to StarClan and gave Tigerstar one of his nine lives. 
==History==
===The Prophecies Begin===
:Littlepaw is an apprentice of ShadowClan with Clawface as his mentor. He is first seen as a warrior, Littlecloud, along with Whitethroat, sick and asleep on ThunderClan territory. They beg for help to cure their sickness, as ShadowClan's medicine cat, Runningnose, was too busy with Nightstar to care for other cats. Though they are ordered to leave, Cinderpelt treats the two in secret. After his recovery, Littlecloud returns to ShadowClan with healing herbs, though Whitethroat is killed on the Thunderpath. Because of the courage Cinderpelt showed him, Littlecloud decides to become a medicine cat.
===The New Prophecy===
:During the destruction of the forest territories, Littlecloud struggles as the sole medicine cat after Runningnose's retirement. He disagrees with Blackstar when the leader orders his cats to eat carrion, but later takes part on the Great Journey after ShadowClan's camp is destroyed. After arriving at the lake, Littlecloud is skeptical about the new land, given that there was no Moonstone with which to communicate with StarClan. He has repeated dreams warning of death and danger, mourning when he discovers that his friend, Cinderpelt, had been killed.
===Power of Three===
:When Blackstar is influenced by Sol to lose faith in StarClan, Littlecloud is barred from attending half-moon meetings. Though he tries to convince his leader to change his mind, Littlecloud alone is unsuccessful, until a sign is created, and after Flamepaw returns from ThunderClan, Littlecloud receives him as his apprentice. As Jayfeather is investigating who his true parents may be, Littlecloud identifies parsley as the herb recalled by Jayfeather used to stop a mother's milk.
===Omen of the Stars===
: When it is decided that a patrol will be sent to investigate the cause of the drought, Littlecloud is conflicted, citing lack of guidance from StarClan. His help is later sought by Jayfeather after Briarlight's spine is broken, as Littlecloud had a similar patient, Wildfur. Eventually, Littlecloud catches greencough, worrying all of ShadowClan. He quarrels with his apprentice, Flametail, after he reveals that Raggedstar ordered ShadowClan to stand alone in the coming battle. However, after Flametail suddenly drowns, Littlecloud grieves heavily for him, though he is hesitant to blame his death on Jayfeather. He serves his Clan during the the battle against the Dark Forest.
===A Vision of Shadows===
:Littlecloud has grown old, and without an apprentice, the other medicine cats worry how ShadowClan will fare without him. Leafpool is sent to help him, but he dies even so. Rowanstar has Puddlekit selected as the cat to succeed him, despite the kit desiring to become a warrior.
===Super Editions===
: In Yellowfang's Secret, Littlekit is born to Newtspeck along with Brownkit and Wetkit. He and his brothers participate in Brokenstar's training session, where Mosspaw is accidentally killed by Brownkit and Wetkit. Afterwards, the kits are apprenticed despite only being three moons old, with Littlepaw being apprenticed to Clawface.
: In Firestar's Quest, Runningnose retires, leaving Littlecloud as the sole medicine cat of ShadowClan
 
:In Tigerheart's Shadow, Littlecloud gives Tigerstar a life for acceptance, explaining that fear of failure had kept him from leadership too long.
