Flametail

Flametail is a lean, orange flame-colored tom with broad shoulders and bright blue eyes.
Flametail was a medicine cat of ShadowClan under Blackstar's leadership in the lake territories. He was born as Flamekit to Rowanclaw and Tawnypelt alongside his littermates, Tigerkit and Dawnkit. Flamepaw temporarily joined ThunderClan after ShadowClan was under Sol's influence, and despite wanting to be a medicine cat apprentice, Flamepaw gained Cloudtail as his mentor. He assisted in faking a sign from StarClan to regain Blackstar's faith, and Flamepaw rejoined ShadowClan, with him becoming Littlecloud's apprentice. After Flametail earned his medicine cat name, he played on the frozen lake and fell through the ice and drowned despite Jayfeather's efforts to save him. Dawnpelt accused Jayfeather for purposely letting him drown, though Flametail came to forgive Jayfeather for trying to save him and told the medicine cats that Jayfeather was innocent. In StarClan, Flametail gave Tigerstar one of his nine lives.
==History==
===Power of Three===
:Flamekit is born to Rowanclaw and Tawnypelt alongside Tigerkit and Dawnkit. He has aspirations to become a medicine cat, but when Sol takes over ShadowClan, Flamepaw is forced to train as a warrior. Because of this, Tawnypelt takes Flamepaw and his littermates to ThunderClan with her kin, and he is apprenticed to Cloudtail. He, his littermates, alongside Lionblaze, Hollyleaf, and Jaypaw fake a sign from StarClan to convince Blackstar to believe again. Their plan succeeds, and Flamepaw and his littermates return home. He then becomes Littlecloud's apprentice.
===Omen of the Stars===
:He has earned his full name, which is Flametail. He maintains a close relationship with his littermates. Following the battle of the border, Flametail receives a dream from Raggedstar warning him that ShadowClan must stand alone. Littlecloud disagrees, and Flametail continually worries about his ailing mentor. He also repeatedly has dreams of falling into darkness. While playing prey-stone with his Clanmates on the frozen lake, Flametail falls through the ice and drowns. Jayfeather tries to save his friend, but Rock prevents him.
:Once in StarClan, Flametail is lured to the Dark Forest. Brokenstar orders Ivypaw to kill him, but Tigerheart prevents her. Dawnpelt accuses Jayfeather of murdering Flametail, and he is confined to camp. After finding a burning reed, Jayfeather visits the Moonpool to speak with Flametail, who explains to the other medicine cats that Jayfeather did not kill him. Flametail is not the fourth cat in the prophecy, like Jayfeather originally thought, but promises to stand with the Clans in the coming battle.
