Scorchfur

Scorchfur is a dark gray tom with ragged, slashed ears, one of which is torn.
Scorchfur is a ShadowClan warrior who has served under Blackstar's, Rowanstar's, Leafstar's, and Tigerstar's leaderships in the lake territories. As an apprentice, Scorchpaw was mentored by Snaketail, and after becoming a warrior, Scorchfur was known for his sharp tongue and open criticism of authority. He and his mate, Snowbird, had three litters of kits with the first being Cloverfoot, Berryheart, and Buster, and later, Yarrowleaf, Beenose, and Bluebellkit. During Rowanstar's reign, Scorchfur was among the leader's harshest critics, gladly joining Darktail when he took control of ShadowClan. While in the Kin, he and Snowbird had Conefoot, Frondwhisker, and Gullswoop. Even after his return, Scorchfur was quick to clash with Clan authority, particularly Leafstar during his time as a SkyClan warrior, who sent away his daughter, Yarrowleaf. When Tigerheart returned to revive the fallen ShadowClan, Scorchfur was relieved to once again serve his Clan under a leader he respected and was appointed a mentor to Flowerstem and his grandson, Flaxfoot.
==History==
===Power of Three===
:He is a ShadowClan apprentice under Snaketail and fights against WindClan and RiverClan during the battle of the eclipse. Despite being an apprentice, he fathers Berryheart, Cloverfoot, and Rippletail with Snowbird during this time.
===Omen of the Stars===
:Now a warrior with the name of Scorchfur, he participates in the fight for the border and survives, helping carry the body of Russetfur when the fight is over. He also fights against the Place of No Stars when they attack and is heavily wounded during the fight. 
===A Vision of Shadows===
:His first litter of kits are now warriors, and his second are now apprentices. When Snowbird falls ill with yellowcough, he frets over her and openly questions Rowanstar constantly. He comes up with the idea to keep Twigpaw captive in exchange for lungwort and berates Crowfrost when the deputy lets her go so she can avoid falling sick. He is given Flowerpaw to mentor. Scorchfur decides to join Darktail when the rogue commandeers ShadowClan, becoming part of the Kin. However, upon seeing Darktail's cruelty, he regrets it. Several of his kits go missing, including Beenose who dies, and Rippletail who becomes a kittypet as Buster.
:He and Snowbird have a third litter of kits, Conekit, Frondkit, and Gullkit, and Snowbird cannot find enough food to feed herself and their kits. Scorchfur takes more prey than usual, and Darktail punishes him harshly. He fights to drive out the Kin, but still disapproves of Rowanstar. His sharp tongue and lack of respect for Rowanstar is one of the reasons Rowanstar disbands ShadowClan and annexes them to SkyClan. However, Scorchfur openly defies Leafstar when she turns away his daughter, Yarrowleaf, who is heavily pregnant. When Tigerheart is resurrected and reinstates ShadowClan, Scorchfur helps Juniperclaw and Snowbird destroy SkyClan's dens and is assigned by Tigerstar to guard Alderheart when the young ThunderClan medicine cat helps out in ShadowClan's camp. When Cloverfoot is announced as deputy, Scorchfur is the first to cheer his daughter's name. 
===Super Editions===
:In Bramblestar's Storm, at a Gathering, Blackstar announces Scorchfur's latest litter of kits with Snowbird, noted by Bramblestar to be looking smug. He also takes part in the battle against the badgers and fights alongside Bramblestar, complimenting the ThunderClan leader's battle skills. 
:In Tigerheart's Shadow, he is one of Rowanstar's harshest critics and refuses to listen to his leader out of spite. When Tawnypelt attacks him for insulting Rowanstar, Scorchfur retaliates and nearly takes out her eye, though quickly feels guilty over it. He attempts to leave for SkyClan with Juniperclaw, but is stopped by Tigerheart, who convinces the two to return to ShadowClan. He and Snowbird later tell Tigerheart that they prefer him over Rowanstar and that they will only take orders from him, frustrating Tigerheart.

==Personality==
:Scorchfur, most notably, is often quick to criticize and openly states what he disagrees with, and his sharp tongue often sparks arguments. However, he is not heartless. He felt it was necessary to feed the RiverClan prisoners captured by Darktail, so they would not starve, stating "isn't it our responsibility to see that they're healthy?" though this led to him getting reprimanded by Darktail. He also cares for his mate, Snowbird, often fretting for her.
