Sol

Sol is a tall tortoiseshell-and-white tom with pale yellow eyes. 
Sol was a rogue who caused trouble for the Clans. He was born to Cinders and an unnamed tom alongside three other kits. Cinders made each kit live as a kittypet after his father's abandonment. He was named Harry by his housefolk, and moons later, he met Leafstar and her kits after they were captured by his housefolk. Following the escape, he revealed himself as Sol and joined SkyClan. However, Leafstar did not immediately make him a warrior and unofficially trained him as her apprentice, much to his displeasure. After stealing her kits, Sol was exiled from SkyClan.
Sol eventually came to the lake, telling Leafpool and Jaypaw of the eclipse, which happened during a battle between the four Clans. Sol convinced Blackstar that StarClan had no power, and Blackstar stopped believing in his ancestors for a brief time, allowing Sol to stay in ShadowClan. After Blackstar received a sign, Sol was banished from ShadowClan. When Ashfur was murdered, Sol became a suspect, and a ThunderClan patrol found him leading a group of loners and befriending Purdy. He was kept prisoner in ThunderClan, but tricked the Three into letting him free. Moons later, Sol returned to the lake and started a battle between ThunderClan and WindClan in the tunnels. However, Sol was almost killed by Hollyleaf, but she let him go and he vowed revenge.
==History==
===Power of Three===
:Hollypaw discovers a "lion" on WindClan territory, but Sorreltail says it's merely a cat. The cat's name is Sol, and he asks to be taken to ThunderClan's camp. He is very knowledgeable about Clan life, much to everyone's surprise. He warns Leafpool and Jaypaw of a coming darkness, foreshadowing the eclipse. Jaypaw believes Sol knows something about the prophecy, but Sol decides to go to ShadowClan. After the eclipse, Sol manipulates Blackstar to revoke StarClan and the warrior code. ShadowClan lives scattered on its territory until Jaypaw, Lionblaze, Hollyleaf, Tigerpaw, Dawnpaw, and Flamepaw fake a sign from StarClan. Blackstar's faith is reignited, and he exiles Sol.
:After Ashfur is killed, Hollyleaf admits she saw Sol a few days prior, and ThunderClan believes the rogue committed the murder. Brambleclaw, Birchfall, Brackenfur, Hazeltail, Lionblaze, and Hollyleaf are sent to bring back Sol. They meet a group of loners in the Twolegplace who met Sol prior and are openly hostile about him. Jingo reveals Sol's idea to get rid of the dogs failed when one of their cats was killed in the process. They find Sol living with Purdy, and they bring both of them back to ThunderClan. He is kept as ThunderClan's prisoner until Lionblaze helps him escape in exchange for information about the the prophecy and the identity of their father. Sol tries to manipulate the littermates to use their powers to take over the Clans, but they refuse.
===Omen of the Stars===
:Sol finds his way back to the Clans and claims to have saved Cherrypaw and Molepaw from a fox. Dovewing and Ivypool don't trust him and discover Sol teaching WindClan how to fight in the tunnels. Hollyleaf returns, stating that she was the one who saved the apprentices while Sol was lying. She teaches ThunderClan how to fight in the tunnels and are prepared when Sol leads WindClan into battle. Sol reveals he was exiled by a group in a gorge and vowed to prove the warrior code is worthless. Hollyleaf spares his life because of the warrior code, and Sol promises his revenge.
===SkyClan and the Stranger===
:Leafstar and her kits are captured by an elderly Twoleg and taken to her home. The Twoleg has another cat, a kittypet named Harry. Harry is surprised by Leafstar's determination to escape and insists she and her kits will be well-taken care of. He is curious about Clan life and helps Leafstar and her family escape. She names one of her kits after him, Harrykit. Harry, after revealing his real name is Sol, then asks to join SkyClan. 
:Birdpaw and Honeypaw complain about Sol not doing any apprentice tasks, but Leafstar insists Sol is an experienced and full-grown cat. When the cats are sent out in eight-party hunting patrols, Sol encourages his group to split up, and they bring back a feast's worth of prey. Sharpclaw is suspicious of Sol's tactics since he'd never shown much talent in hunting, and Leafstar discovers Sol's patrol stealing prey from foxes. He is surprised when Leafstar and Sharpclaw scold him and insists that he used his talent to make the foxes do the hard work. He also admits to Leafstar that his mother told him stories of sky warriors before abandoning them, revealing how much he wanted to be a warrior.
:Leafstar agrees to train Sol, but is unimpressed with his skills. However, he does make some progress, and Leafstar admits he's on his way to become a warrior. During a Gathering, Sol walks up proudly and states that he's ready to become a warrior. Leafstar quietly tells him that it wasn't the time or place for that, and Sol runs off in a fury. Leafstar insists he still has much to learn about the warrior code, and Sol becomes frustrated with his lack of progress. In order to prove himself, he kidnaps Leafstar's kits so he can pretend to find them. Shrewtooth discovers this and attacks Sol. Enraged, Leafstar hisses he will never become a warrior and banishes Sol from SkyClan.
==Detailed description==

==Personality and traits==
:Sol is manipulative, lazy, and whiny. He has harbored a grudge against the Clans ever since SkyClan rejected him. He has little in the way of hunting or battle skills, but makes up for it in cunning, often finding ways to do jobs while doing little or no work by tricking someone else into doing it for him. He used sweet talk and charisma to convince Blackstar of ShadowClan to give up StarClan, causing chaos within ShadowClan. He convinced Lionblaze, Jayfeather, and Hollyleaf that he knows who their father is in order to get them to set him free, and is a master of deception. Later, he returns and convinces WindClan to attack ThunderClan using the tunnels.
==Relationships==
===Cinders===
:Sol was abandoned by his mother when he and his littermates were still kits. Cinders was as whiny and lazy as Sol, and she often complained about her rotten life and her mate leaving her. She never even gave her kits names. She told her kits stories about sky cats who could fly and grew as big as lions when they were angry, which were later revealed to be about SkyClan. Sol wanted to please his mother by becoming a warrior so he could catch prey for them, but Cinders snaps at him and says that the sky cats weren't real. After her mate leaves her for another she-cat, Cinders then complains again and gives away her kits, leaving each one at the door of a different Twoleg nest. She deposits Sol last, and he never sees her again.
===Sol's father===
:Sol's father was rarely around, and even when he did visit, Cinders berated him for being gone for so long and only bringing meager and sour scraps of prey. As a kit, Sol could tell that his father didn't like him or his littermates very much. Eventually, he leaves Cinders and his kits for good, saying that he's found another mate and that he's going to find a new place to live with her. Sol never sees him again.
===Leafstar===
:Leafstar meets Sol as a kittypet named Harry when she is captured by his elderly housefolk. He is curious about Clan life, and she tells him all about the honors of being a warrior. When Leafstar is rescued, he decides to join her in SkyClan. However, Sol turns out to be a problem. He is lazy, easily gives up, and even steals prey from foxes to avoid hunting. When Leafstar refuses to immediately make him a warrior, Sol goes too far and steals Leafstar's kits. He plans on pretending to find them and bring them back, and Leafstar discovers him and banishes him from SkyClan. This turns out to be Leafstar's biggest mistake, as Sol swears revenge on all the Clans and leaves to terrorize the Clans at the lake.
===SkyClan===
:As a kit, Sol heard stories from his mother about cats who could fly and had honor and loyalty. When he learned that SkyClan really existed, he joined them immediately, as he felt that becoming a warrior was the greatest thing he could ever do. However, the Clan soon learned that Sol just was not cut out to be a warrior. He refused to accept this fact, and threw a tantrum when Leafstar didn't immediately make him a warrior. After SkyClan banishes him when he goes too far by kidnapping Leafstar's kits, he vows revenge on all the Clans.
===Blackstar and ShadowClan===
:Sol was a rogue who predicted an eclipse when StarClan could not, and thus, he gained Blackstar's trust. He influenced the ShadowClan leader, who was doubtful that ShadowClan should have ever come to the lake, to abandon StarClan, the warrior code, and his leader name. However, Blackstar's mind was changed when six apprentices from ShadowClan and ThunderClan prompted a sign from StarClan. Blackstar was furious that he had allowed himself to be manipulated by Sol, vowing never to let him harm ShadowClan again, and the rogue left his territory. Littlecloud claimed Blackstar bore Sol no ill will; however, when ThunderClan was holding the rogue hostage for information about Ashfur's death, Blackstar insisted that the tom was too dangerous to be kept close and demanded he be driven out.
