Molewhisker (TC)/History

==History==
===In the Omen of the Stars arc===
====The Fourth Apprentice====
:Molekit and his sister, Cherrykit, are born to Poppyfrost and Berrynose in ThunderClan during an unusually hot and dry greenleaf, although both are not yet named. After they're born, Jayfeather, the medicine cat, calls for Berrynose to come see his kits. Before Berrynose arrives, Tigerstar, Hawkfrost, and Brokenstar, residents of the Place of No Stars, suddenly appear and gaze at the kits hungrily. Jayfeather's brother, Lionblaze, arrives and also sees the three cats, though none of other cats can see them. The Dark Forest cats disappear when Berrynose arrives in the nursery and greets his mate and kits warmly, assuring Poppyfrost that their kits would be the best in the Clan. Jayfeather suspects that the Place of No Stars' warriors are looking to recruit the kits if they die, but Lionblaze tells him that the Place of No Stars doesn't want dead kits, they want living ones.
====Fading Echoes====
:Cherrykit tries to show Jayfeather a battle move she made up, but when she messes up due to a leaf, Molekit makes remarks that she's scared of a leaf, starting an argument; Poppyfrost reprimands him moments afterwards. Molekit and Cherrykit are noted by Jayfeather to be some of Briarlight's biggest supporters. When her backbone is broken by a falling tree, the two kits play around her and regard her as a friend. Molekit climbs onto Briarlight's shoulders and balances there. Briarlight boasts to her mother, Millie, that she could balance both kits on her shoulders.
====Night Whispers====
:Jayfeather hears Poppyfrost wash Molekit and Cherrykit inside of the nursery. Molekit and Cherrykit later greet Berrynose with squeaks when he enters the nursery.
:Dovepaw thinks to herself that once Blossomfall and Bumblestripe leave the apprentices' den, her and Ivypaw will be alone until Molekit and Cherrykit become apprentices. Molekit and Cherrykit huddle beside Berrynose as he asks Dovepaw where she is going. Later, when Berrynose is sent to go with Dovewing and Ivypaw, Molekit and Cherrykit almost trip him. Berrynose purrs and tells his kits that they will be warriors soon enough.
:Molekit and Cherrykit drag a squirrel into the hollow. Birchfall asks if the kits caught it themselves, and Molekit says they found it outside. He then says that Mousewhisker's patrol must have dropped it, and Mousewhisker says his patrol didn't catch a squirrel. Poppyfrost rushes out and asks the kits what they were doing outside of camp.
:Molekit and Cherrykit follow Daisy as she hurries across the clearing. Molekit says he will tear off the tails of ShadowClan warriors if they invade the hollow. Jayfeather tells Briarlight that if Molekit and Cherrykit aren't enough work for her, she has plenty to do in his den.
:Jayfeather wonders why Mousefur refused to play moss-ball with Molekit that morning. As Jayfeather walks into the nursery, Molekit jumps on his back. Daisy tells him to get off the medicine cat and he tells her she is just practicing his attack pounce. Poppyfrost tells him to practice outside, and Molekit asks if Cherrykit can come with him. Jayfeather tells the kit that he needs to check on his sister first before she can play. Cherrykit tells Jayfeather she feels fine after he examines her and asks if can play outside with Molekit. Jayfeather then tells Poppyfrost to let her play with her brother.
====Sign of the Moon====
:He and his sister, Cherrykit, are at Dovewing and Ivypool's warrior ceremony, saying that they will be the best apprentices yet. Firestar overhears this, and tells them they are not six moons old yet, much to the kits' dismay. He and his sister also get bellyache from eating too much squirrel, but when treated with herbs from Jayfeather, they both eventually heal.
====The Forgotten Warrior====
:When Molekit is getting his apprentice name, he at first refuses and tells Firestar that he doesn't want to do the "nasty" apprentice jobs, such as removing the elders' ticks. His mother, Poppyfrost, shuts her eyes and digs her claws into the ground when he says this, and his father, Berrynose, is furious. The Clan is shocked, but Firestar tells the young tom that he won't only have to do tasks like pulling the elders' ticks, only sometimes. Molepaw gives in and agrees to get his apprentice name. Rosepetal becomes his mentor.
:When Molepaw, Cherrypaw, and their mentors are outside of camp practicing battle moves with Brightheart, a fox attacks them. Their mentors chase away the fox, but the fox comes back to get Molepaw and Cherrypaw. A strange cat chases the fox away, thus saving the two siblings. When the two and their mentors return to camp, Jayfeather checks up on Molepaw. While he checks him for injuries, Jayfeather enters Molepaw's memories and sees the strange cat, but doesn't recognize who they are.
:When Sol comes back to ThunderClan, he reports to ThunderClan that he saved the two, but later it is revealed to be Hollyleaf who saved them. Molepaw and Cherrypaw are mesmerized by Sol since Mousefur was telling them about him earlier. Later after hunting with his mentor, he brings back two mice in which he gives to Mousefur and Purdy to eat. When Hollyleaf comes back to camp, Firestar tells him and his sister to make a nest for her in the apprentices' den. When she wonders about the hollow looking different, Molepaw exclaims that a tree fell into it, and that he would tell her about it while they made her nest.
:When Firestar names cats to go into battle patrols, Molepaw and Cherrypaw protest, saying they were not named for any patrols. Firestar tells them they are going to be on his patrol- the patrol that stays at camp to protect the queens and elders in case any WindClan cats broke through. He and his sister exchange glances, not knowing whether to be disappointed that they might not fight, or proud to be on a patrol with the Clan leader.
====The Last Hope====
:While Ivypool and Dovewing are chattering in the morning, Molekit is annoyed that they awoke him with their conversation. He later says that he and his sister don't have any training that morning, because Spiderleg thinks they're too small to practice climbing. Ivypool replies that ThunderClan doesn't want any injuries. Soon after, he is eager to practice battle moves with her, and they work on defense moves.
:He, along with his sister, Cherrypaw, are training with Ivypool and Dovewing. Ivypool is teaching them battle techniques and helping them to improve those skills. After the training session, he and his sister have a little skirmish, which angers Ivypool, and she scolds them for that. This brings the realization to Ivypool that if the Clans and cats go on like this, they won't be able to win the final battle.
:Molepaw serves as a messenger during the final battle, along with his sister as he is one of the fastest cats in his Clan. He is assigned to WindClan, and then RiverClan, and his sister to ShadowClan. Before they leave, Poppyfrost tells them she's proud of them, and Berrynose comments that though they're apprentices, they're warriors today.
:In the middle of the fight, Bumblestripe runs into Molepaw and Cherrypaw. Dovewing happily notes they're safe, and Molepaw comments that RiverClan has already driven the Dark Forest warriors on the edge of the border.
===In the A Vision of Shadows arc===
====The Apprentice's Quest====
:Molewhisker is announced to be Alderpaw's mentor by Bramblestar. Alderpaw is uncertain as to how he feels about this choice, noting that Molewhisker is quieter and less enthusiastic than his sister Cherryfall and had not shown much interest in the kits. Molewhisker is solemn as he touches noses with Alderpaw, and after the ceremony, he tells the dark ginger tom that being an apprentice is a big responsibility. Molewhisker explains to Alderpaw and Sparkpaw that in addition to their training, apprentices have special duties to care for the Clan. He and Cherryfall then send the apprentices to check the elders for ticks.
:The next morning, Molewhisker and Cherryfall take Alderpaw and Sparkpaw to tour the territory. As they head towards the ShadowClan border, Sparkpaw asks what will happen if they meet ShadowClan cats. Molewhisker sternly tells her that the ThunderClan and ShadowClan cats will all stay on their own sides of the border. Before reaching the ShadowClan border, the four cats first head down to the lake. Sparkpaw splashes in the water and yowls as she attempts to fish from the lake, and she is subsequently chastised by Molewhisker. After completing the tour of the territory, Molewhisker and Cherryfall teach their apprentices the hunting crouch. Sparkpaw catches a shrew on her first attempt at hunting, and Cherryfall and Molewhisker are impressed. Sparkpaw begins to give Alderpaw tips on how to perform the hunting crouch, so Molewhisker reminds her that she is a brand-new apprentice like Alderpaw, not his mentor. When Sparkpaw catches another piece of prey, Molewhisker praises her but appears annoyed his own apprentice has yet to catch anything. Alderpaw is upset, feeling as if he's a failure, but Molewhisker assures him that he will learn.
:Molewhisker and Cherryfall attend the Gathering with their new apprentices. Molewhisker pads up beside Alderpaw and Sparkpaw, asking what they think and pointing out the other Clans' leaders. The day after the Gathering, Molewhisker and Cherryfall take the apprentices out for battle training. Molewhisker becomes frustrated with Alderpaw for his lack of concentration, and after scolding his apprentice, declares the session finished. Molewhisker then takes Alderpaw for another attempt at hunting and suggests a different way of hunting for him, but Molewhisker becomes annoyed when his apprentice doesn't seem to be paying attention. Alderpaw tries to hunt a mouse, but steps on a twig and scares it away. Molewhisker, though he controls his voice, is visibly frustrated again by his apprentice's ineptitude at hunting. When they return to camp, Bramblestar summons Molewhisker up to his den. Bramblestar, Molewhisker, Jayfeather, and Leafpool emerge from the den and beckon Alderpaw to them. They explain that Alderpaw is to no longer train with Molewhisker and will instead train as a medicine cat apprentice. Molewhisker is sympathetic to the young tom, stating that he knows Alderpaw tried really hard at warrior training and that he is not angry.
:Molewhisker is later chosen to accompany Alderpaw on his quest to find SkyClan, along with Sandstorm, Cherryfall, and Sparkpaw. He and Cherryfall are delighted to be included on the journey. The patrol sets off the next morning, leaving Clan territory and heading through a Twolegplace and then through an unfamiliar forest. The patrol stops at sunset to hunt, and Molewhisker invites Alderpaw to hunt with him. Alderpaw tries to hunt a mouse but hesitates and the mouse escapes, though Molewhisker leaps after it and catches it anyway. Molewhisker is sympathetic to his former apprentice as he continues to struggle with hunting. Later, when the patrol tries to cross a Thunderpath, an object flies out of a monster and barrels straight towards Molewhisker. Sandstorm is able to knock Molewhisker out of the way before he can be struck, and he gratefully tells her that she probably saved his life.
:When the patrol sets up camp the next night, they meet two foxes. Alderpaw, Sparkpaw, Sandstorm, and a stranger defeat one fox while Cherryfall and Molewhisker drive away the other. With the foxes gone, they discover that the stranger is the ShadowClan apprentice Needlepaw. Needlepaw declares that she is coming with the ThunderClan patrol now, and at this Cherryfall and Molewhisker share a disbelieving glance. The members of the patrol discuss whether to allow Needlepaw to join them, and Molewhisker is in favor of sending her back. Sandstorm doesn't think it's safe for the young apprentice to go home on her own, but Molewhisker growls that nosy ShadowClan apprentices aren't their problem. Sandstorm decides to let Needlepaw stay, and Molewhisker mutters to Cherryfall that Needlepaw is going to be in a lot of trouble when she returns home.
:Alderpaw dreams of SkyClan in danger, so he and Sandstorm decide they must set off again. Molewhisker grumbles that he doesn't see why they left so soon, as he and the others have not been informed about SkyClan or Alderpaw's visions. When the patrol has to cross a fence, Sandstorm slips and falls off. Molewhisker leaps forward to break her fall, but she still is hurt. Sandstorm soon dies of her wounds, and the other cats are all stunned. Molewhisker gloomily points out that Sandstorm was the only one to know the route. As the bury Sandstorm, Molewhisker voices his wish to turn around, suggesting that the quest is doomed. Needlepaw objects that they have to keep going, but Molewhisker growls that it isn't her decision. Alderpaw decides to finally tell the other cats about his visions, explaining everything that he knows about SkyClan's history. The patrol is glad that Alderpaw told them about his visions, and Molewhisker vows that they will do whatever it takes to help Alderpaw find SkyClan and complete the quest.
:When the patrol finally reaches SkyClan's gorge, Needlepaw immediately tries to rush down into it, but Molewhisker blocks her way, arguing that none of them know much of SkyClan, so they can't be sure whether to trust them. They meet a few cats, presumably a SkyClan patrol, and Alderpaw looks to Cherryfall and Molewhisker to speak to the patrol's leader, but when they remain silent, Alderpaw speaks to him instead. The traveling cats are allowed to stay in the gorge. When Sparkpaw challenges Darktail about how prey is distributed within his group, Molewhisker steps between the apprentice and the leader, saying that Sparkpaw is just young and curious. The next morning, Molewhisker offers to hunt with Alderpaw, but Alderpaw declines his offer, not wanting to disappoint his former mentor again. 
:Molewhisker and the other Clan cats are already back when Darktail and Alderpaw return following Mistfeather's death. Darktail proclaims that Alderpaw and his friends are conspiring to drive his group out in order to reclaim the territory for SkyClan. Molewhisker hisses that they should have known Darktail's rogues weren't the real SkyClan, and that a lot of thing now make sense. After the meeting, Molewhisker and his companions are escorted to a den and guarded by Raven. Alderpaw tells his Clanmates what happened to Mistfeather, and when he finishes, Molewhisker hisses that Darktail is evil.
:Just before dawn, the Clan cats try to escape, as Raven has fallen asleep. Molewhisker leads them out of the den and to the river. Sparkpaw, Molewhisker, and Cherryfall use a tree branch to cross the river, but the branch breaks as Alderpaw and Needlepaw use it, sweeping the two apprentices into the river. Molewhisker, Cherryfall, and Sparkpaw search for the two missing apprentices, but to their distress, they have no success and are forced to return without them. When the rest of ThunderClan learns of Alderpaw and Needlepaw's disappearance, Bramblestar sends out a search party consisting of Molewhisker, Birchfall, Poppyfrost, and Berrynose to look for the apprentices again. Meanwhile, Alderpaw and Needlepaw travel home together, and as they reach the horseplace, Alderpaw hears a cat yowl and sees Molewhisker's patrol approaching. Molewhisker and the patrol are overjoyed to find Alderpaw and Needlepaw alive. Needlepaw also reveals the two kits, Twigkit and Violetkit, that she and Alderpaw found. Molewhisker comments that ThunderClan will be proud of Alderpaw and that he can't wait to hear what Cherryfall will say about the kits.
====Thunder and Shadow====
:When Bramblestar tells Alderpaw that he will send Squirrelflight, Lionblaze, and Cinderheart to find SkyClan, the apprentice thinks that now that Bramblestar, Sparkpaw, Cherryfall, Molewhisker, and himself know about SkyClan, it wouldn't be a good idea to spread the secret any farther. :Molewhisker receives a new apprentice, Honeypaw. On the way to a Gathering, Molewhisker coaxes Honeypaw onto the tree-bridge. He promises his apprentice that he is right behind her and will grab her scruff if she slips.
:Moons later, when Twigpaw goes missing, Crowfrost, Scorchfur, and Tawnypelt enter the ThunderClan clearing, and Rosepetal and Molewhisker pace the edge of the camp, their hackles high. The patrol reveals that they are holding Twigpaw hostage unless ThunderClan brings them lungwort from WindClan. Molewhisker crosses the clearing, his pelt bristling, and he demands why they should help ShadowClan, pointing out that they are holding one of their Clanmates hostage. Crowfrost responds that that is exactly the reason why ThunderClan should help them. Bramblestar tells the patrol that they will discuss and send news of their decision later, but Molewhisker stares at his leader in surprise and asks if they will let ShadowClan bully them. However, the dark tabby ignores the warrior and tells Dovewing and Bumblestripe to escort the patrol back to their border. Molewhisker pads to Bramblestar, his tail lashing, and states that they should attack the ShadowClan camp and rescue Twigpaw. Rosepetal agrees with him.
====Shattered Sky====
:As the ThunderClan cats prepare to go to the Gathering after the first battle with Darktail's Kin, Molewhisker stands next to Cherryfall. The brown-and-cream tom has a long gash running along his back from fighting earlier in the day. Later that night, Bramblestar decides to tell ThunderClan about SkyClan. Molewhisker, along with Cherryfall, Alderheart, and Sparkpelt, already knows about them as well due to their participation on Alderheart's quest. As a result, many cats ask him and the three others questions about the lost Clan.
:When Twigpaw disappears, presumably to look for SkyClan, Bramblestar decides to send a patrol to search for the gray she-cat. He chooses Molewhisker to lead the patrol since the brown-and-cream tom knows where the barn they believe SkyClan is sheltering, and Dovewing and Tigerheart quickly volunteer to join the patrol as well. The three warriors dip their heads to Bramblestar before heading out of camp on their journey.
:Molewhisker, Dovewing, and Tigerheart reach the Thunderpath discover traces of Twigpaw's blood and fur along it. They search up and down both of sides of the road but are unable to discover a scent trail or any other signs of her, so they conclude that Twigpaw must have been struck by a monster and killed, and must return home to reveal the bad news. When they reach the camp, Molewhisker immediately goes up onto the Highledge to inform Bramblestar of what happened while Dovewing and Tigerheart speak to Alderheart.
====Darkest Night====
:When Twigpaw drops her prey on the fresh-kill pile, Molewhisker is there, staring in disgust at the fresh-kill, exclaiming that RiverClan brought back frogs. Twigpaw wrinkles her nose, guessing they like the taste. Molewhisker sniffs, saying just so long as they don't try feeding the frogs to them. Cherryfall arrives, dropping her prey on the pile, mewing that at least they caught something, while glancing pointedly at the SkyClan cats, noting that some of their visitors are still too weak to hunt. Ivypool points out that Jayfeather said they're supposed to rest, and Cherryfall grunts, asking who will help ThunderClan get their strength back after they've finished feeding half the forest. Lionblaze sternly tells the she-cat that complaining won't help, and Molewhisker moves closer to his sister, defending her, saying she's allowed to have her own opinion, then asks if they're even sure SkyClan is a real Clan, and Cherrytail agrees. Fernsong blinks at Molewhisker, asking if they're questioning their leaders word, as Bramblestar had said they were one of the Clans in the old forest.
:Later, Alderheart sees him comparing battle moves with Thornclaw. When the cats are on their way to the Gathering, Molewhisker is among the ThunderClan cats walking along the shore, trailing behind the group with Cherryfall. At the Gathering, when Tigerheart suggests ShadowClan spare some of their territory for SkyClan and Leafstar promises to be an ally, Molewhisker's gaze flashes with suspicion, asking if they'd be allies to all of them, not just ShadowClan, to which Leafstar agrees.
:Later, he is sitting with Cherryfall, Brackenfur, and Lionblaze in ThunderClan's camp when Bramblestar greets them. Hawkwing and Violetpaw arrive at the camp. Hawkwing explains that Leafstar has decided to send a patrol out to search for their lost Clanmates, and they were hoping Bramblestar could spare a few warriors because they need help finding their way back and they know he's sent a few patrols there already. Molewhisker steps forward, offering to join the SkyClan cats patrol. He dips his head and glances at Cherryfall, saying it would be an honor to show them the way to the gorge. Alderheart wonders if he is hoping that if he shows the SkyClan cats the route to the gorge, they might go back for good. Bramblestar agrees that he will send a cat to go.
:Molewhisker is fetched by Macgyver and is staying in SkyClan's camp until they're ready to go. Violetpaw is asking Hawkwing how far the gorge is, and Molewhisker answers that it might take a quarter moon. The patrol is gathered up, consisting of him, Hawkwing, Violetpaw, Rabbitleap, and Blossomheart, and they head off.
:After two days of walking, Violetpaw wonders if they should stop for a break, but notices her father and Molewhisker keep walking. When they come up on the Thunderpath, Violetpaw remembers her mother had died on one and is hesitant to cross. Molewhisker pads back to her, promising this is the most dangerous Thunderpath they'll have to cross, they won't need to worry once they've crossed. They reassure the apprentice enough and Molewhisker and the others cross, with a close call on Violetpaw.
:When Violetpaw sees Needletail, Molewhisker is mentioned to be curled up around her and her Clanmates. As she makes her way out of the den, Molewhisker stretches out his legs, pushing against Rabbitleap. Later, Molewhisker is mentioned to have wanted to follow the sun to where it rose, but Hawkwing had recognized the moorland in the distance, remembering a route that would take them to the last place he'd seen his kin. Molewhisker competes for the lead of the patrol with Blossomheart. They come upon a fence and cross it to the other side to a sheep field. As the skirt it, Molewhisker pauses and looks back at Hawkwing, looking unsure of himself for the first time, and asks where do they go now. Hawkwing trots past him, directing the group to the distant shape of Barley's farm. Barley spots the patrol and happily greets them. They meet Cherrytail and Cloudmist, while Violetpaw hangs back with Molewhisker. Barley nods at him, noting he does not look familiar, and asks if he's a new SkyClan cat, and Molewhisker explains he's a ThunderClan cat who came with the patrol to show them the way. Barley's eyes flash warmly, suggesting they could hunt, saying he looks like he'd be a good ratter; while the others shared their news. Molewhisker blinks happily at the farm cat and says he'll do his best.
:Between them, Barley and Molewhisker catch enough rats to feed all the cats. Molewhisker explores the shadows in the back of the barn while the others eat. They leave the barn to continue with their journey. They reach the gorge, and Molewhisker flanks the other cats. Hawkwing's gaze is fixed on the ravine and he tells the others to listen, asking if they can hear it. Molewhisker blinks at him, wondering what he's hearing. It's the stream down in the gorge. They make their in when paws scuff the ground behind them; a black-and-white she-cat and a tan tom race toward them, ears flat and teeth bared. The she-cat skids to a halt beside the patrol and glares at Molewhisker, and the two young cats demand why the group is on their land. Molewhisker glances coolly at Hawkwing, clearly unruffled by the small cats. Molewhisker asks if these are Hawkwing's Clanmates. Hawkwing shrugs, he's never seen them before.
:Fidgetpaw turns up, along with the two cat's parents, Mintfur and Nettlesplash. Mintfur paces around the patrol, stopping beside Molewhisker, with her nose twitching, noting his scent is strange and asking who he is. Molewhisker nods politely, introducing himself as a ThunderClan warrior. After the SkyClan cats rescue Frecklewish, begin the journey back home. Violetpaw notes that Molewhisker seems like more of a Clanmate than Harrybrook or Sparrowpelt. Gravelpaw asks how long it will be until they get to their new home, and Hawkwing says two more sunups, glancing questioningly at Molewhisker, who nods, his mew unworried as he says that they won't be there for tomorrow's Gathering. Violetpaw guesses he has enjoyed his adventure with the SkyClan cats.
:They reach the lake territories and once on ThunderClan territory, Molewhisker halts, saying this is where he should leave them. He glances toward the oak forest at the top of the shore. Hawkwing faces the warrior, dipping his head formally and thanking him for his help, then touches his muzzle to Molewhisker's shoulder, meowing that if he ever needs help, SkyClan is in his debt. Molewhisker blinks warmly at the deputy, mewing it's been fun. He glances at Frecklewish, adding that he's always happy to help rescue a Clan cat from Twolegs. Violetpaw calls out her farewells as Molewhisker heads toward the oaks.
====River of Fire====
:Twigpaw sees Molewhisker sharing a piece of prey with his sister, Cherryfall, near the fresh-kill pile when she returns to ThunderClan's camp. Later on, Molewhisker is one of the many cats to catch the sickness that is ravaging ThunderClan. He, along with Hollytuft, join the multiple sick cats who have taken up residence in the apprentices' den.
====The Raging Storm====
:Molewhisker and Larksong follow Alderheart to help rescue Puddleshine from the silverthorn. Bramblestar asks Molewhisker to reach through and lift the vine on Puddleshine's back. He nods and reaches through the gap. He later nods again when Bramblestar asks if everybody is okay after the rescue. :Twigbranch asks Molewhisker if he has seen Flypaw, and he tells her he hasn't. He offers to help look for her, but Twigbranch refuses.
:Molewhisker goes with Cloudtail to inform Tigerstar that Alderheart was trying to cure Puddleshine with deathberries. The two cats return early, flanking ShadowClan. Molewhisker tells Bramblestar that the other clan was waiting at the scent line and that the ThunderClan cats brought them straight to camp, hinting that they had not yet broken the news to ShadowClan's leader. Later, Bramblestar tells Tigerstar that he was sending Molewhisker and Cloudtail to warn ShadowClan that Puddleshine was very ill after the ShadowClan leader notices the deathberries. :Daisy says Molewhisker overheard the conversation with ShadowClan as the clan wonders why Alderheart is leaving. Later, Molewhisker greets Alderheart as he returns from ShadowClan and says it is good to see the medicine cat again.
===In The Broken Code arc===
====Lost Stars====
:Molewhisker leads a dawn patrol.
====The Silent Thaw====
:Molewhisker, Finleap and Bristlefrost catch Rootpaw sneaking on ThunderClan's territory. He angrily asks Bristlefrost if she knew about this, and she defensively disputes that. Molewhisker leads the patrol back to camp and reports to Bramblestar, noting Bristlefrost might know why Rootpaw is here. He believes Rootpaw wants to visit Bristlefrost again and remarks how young cats act when they like someone. Bramblestar orders Molewhisker and Finleap to go to SkyClan's border so Leafstar can send a patrol to fetch Rootpaw.
====Veil of Shadows====
:Molewhisker joins Stormcloud, Poppyfrost, and Bristlefrost on a dawn patrol. Later, he questions Bramblestar when he names Bristlefrost as his new deputy, pointing out that if they were to follow the warrior code, why was he appointing her as deputy without an apprentice. Bramblestar looks him and declares that his word is the code as their leader.
:Rootspring spots him on a hunting patrol with Hollytuft and Bristlefrost near the SkyClan border. Bristlefrost tells the two ThunderClan warriors that they had done well and she'd meet them back at camp, claiming she had to find some chervil for Flipclaw. Molewhisker responds that they'll see her back at camp. During the battle, he fights against Hawkwing and Tawnypelt. His father, Berrynose, is killed in the battle by Tawnypelt.
====The Place of No Stars====
:After ThunderClan's argument over Ashfur, Molewhisker points out the need for a dawn patrol, and Lionblaze allows him to lead one.
===In the A Starless Clan arc===
====River====
:Molewhisker enters camp with Minnowtail and Havenpelt, telling his Clanmates that his patrol found them on the border. The pair decline the ThunderClan tom's invitation to meet with Bramblestar, stating that if any cats had seen Reedwhisker, let RiverClan know. Molewhisker questions why they would have seen Reedwhisker, so Havenpelt says that he disappeared on patrol and might have dropped by ThunderClan.
====Sky====
:Molewhisker and Poppyfrost are on patrol when they encounter Leafstar waiting at the SkyClan border. They escort her to ThunderClan's camp, and Squirrelflight comes up to greet Leafstar, gesturing for Molewhisker to leave so she can talk privately with the SkyClan leader.
====Shadow====
:When Nightheart waits by the border to speak with Bramblestar, Molewhisker sharply scolds him for betraying his Clan. When Nightheart returns to ThunderClan, Molewhisker is hostile towards him, and the brown-and-cream tom questions Bramblestar's decision to step down.
====Wind====
:Molewhisker receives Stempaw as his apprentice and takes him out after the ceremony. Nightheart later asks him, Bayshine, and Finchlight to take Wafflepaw out with their apprentices.
====Star====
:Molewhisker adjusts Stempaw's paws as he practices his hunting stance in camp; moments after, when Gorseclaw and Lizardtail announce they want to join ThunderClan, Molewhisker calls out that he thought they were not taking in warriors anymore. When Gorseclaw suggests fishing in the lake for ThunderClan warriors, Molewhisker growls that they do not want prey that stinks, telling them to stop making the warriors' den foul and that if he wanted fish breath, he would sleep in the lake.
===In the Changing Skies arc===
====The Elders' Quest====
:Molewhisker is guarding the camp entrance when Moonpaw runs past him into the forest after finding out about her sister.
===In the Super Editions===
====Crowfeather's Trial====
:At the Gathering, Bramblestar announces that Molepaw and Cherrypaw have completed their training, and welcomes them as warriors with the new names Molewhisker and Cherryfall. Yowling erupts as cats from the Clans cheer their names, and the two new warriors duck their heads, looking happily embarrassed.
====Bramblestar's Storm====
:Molepaw is now a warrior with the name Molewhisker. He is on a patrol near the ShadowClan border. He growls that they are probably staying away until ThunderClan relaxes their watch, flicking his tail. When Blossomfall falls into the lake, Molewhisker wails her name and dashes to the water's edge. Bramblestar tells Molewhisker and Sandstorm to stay back as he doesn't want them to fall in. He commands them to put their weight on a branch that could save Blossomfall, but warns to not move it. Blossomfall gets a hold of the branch and they start to haul the branch in, dragging it along the shore. With their efforts, Blossomfall is saved. When Bramblestar orders every cat to stay away from the lake, Molewhisker agrees, saying it's a good idea. Bramblestar plans for just him and Molewhisker to continue the patrol while the she-cats head back to camp, but they end up coming. At the WindClan border, they see WindClan cats attempting to catch a giant, white bird. Molewhisker seems impressed, commenting they are very brave as the bird is huge. The WindClan scent fills the forest because of the strong wind and Molewhisker sighs it is pointless trying to tell if they've trespassed as he cannot smell anything by WindClan.
: Sandstorm comments she cannot believe the lake was once empty and Molewhisker asks if she's talking about the Long Dry. He explains that Purdy was telling him that story but never finished. Blossomfall explains that the Clans sent a patrol, two from each Clan to find a block in one of the streams. Molewhisker interrupts, asking what cats from ThunderClan went. Blossomfall explains Lionblaze and Dovewing, Dovepaw then. A giant white bird suddenly crashes near them, and Molewhisker races to it beside Bramblestar. The leader lets Molewhisker make the easy catch. The warrior dives into the bush and sinks his teeth into its neck. After it stops struggling, Molewhisker backs out and drags out the bird with him. Bramblestar commends Molewhisker on his catch, but Blossomfall points out the messy wings and says he needs to be more careful. Molewhisker protests he only touched the neck. The WindClan patrol from before comes and claims the prey. Molewhisker protests it isn't their catch as he made the kill. Bramblestar stubbornly carries away the bird and Molewhisker rushes to help.
:When the patrol gets back to the camp, Molewhisker announces that he caught the large white bird, licking his shoulder fur proudly. Cherryfall, his sister, blinks at him and says it must have been dangerous. Molewhisker casually responds it wasn't hard. Bramblestar thinks that is only because it was already hurt, but lets Molewhisker have his moment of glory. He later shares a shriveled shrew with Briarlight. He helps the she-cat climb on Graystripe's back so she can be carried to Bramblestar's den. The warriors' den is flooded out so the warriors rest in different dens, with Molewhisker in the nursery. He snaps at Bramblestar, saying he is stepping on his tail. Cherryfall cuffs her brother's ear and tells him to be careful, as it's their leader he is talking about. Bramblestar tells them that it is okay. When the whole camp floods, they have to flee up a cliff face. Bramblestar tells Molewhisker and Cherryfall to go when it is their turn. Molewhisker tries to follow his sister but halts a little way up, his eyes full of terror and ears flat. He wails he cannot do it and will fall. Bramblestar calls to him that it is okay and he can do it. Molewhisker yowls he is starting to slip, though. Bramblestar starts to climb to boost Molewhisker up, but Lionblaze comes down, reassuring Molewhisker and guiding him. Molewhisker, very slowly, makes his way up beside his sister and disappears over. The next cats are ready to go but Bramblestar tells them he wants to make sure Molewhisker is safe, as if he falls he'll knock into someone. Lionblaze confirms that Molewhisker is okay. Bramblestar is relieved. Although Rosepetal is scared, she doesn't freeze in fear like Molewhisker. 
:When a patrol brings a Twoleg pelt to help keep the Clan dry and warm, Molewhisker and Rosepetal claw and chew it to split into smaller pieces. At one point, Molewhisker becomes sick, but is soon sleeping peacefully, his breathing back to normal. Later, Daisy scorns the apprentices for exploring more than they are allowed. She tells Cherryfall and Molewhisker they should be ashamed as they encouraged them to do this. Molewhisker complains that it is boring and he has been stuck down in the tunnels for moons. Daisy responds if he needs something to do, he can play a game called hunt the tick on Purdy. As the flooding water recedes, Molewhisker and Cherryfall talk to Dustpelt and Brackenfur about how they will rebuild the dens in the hollow. Molewhisker is part of a border patrol, and follows after Bramblestar. When they return to the hollow to inspect the mess, Brackenfur relays instructions to Molewhisker and Cherryfall on how they are going to clean it up. The clean up is a good success, and Rosepetal recalls a funny moment with Molewhisker. She remembers that he had to get off a branch before Brackenfur put it in place. She comments she thought Molewhisker would become part of the warriors' den. As Bramblestar and Squirrelflight discuss who to take to the Gathering, Bramblestar suggests Molewhisker as he worked hard rebuilding the camp so deserves to come as a reward. Squirrelflight agrees with him.
====Squirrelflight's Hope====
: Molewhisker attends a Gathering and is uneasy about the rest of the Clans eager to chase the Sisters away, sharing a glance with Twigbranch. He also non-verbally agrees with Cherryfall and Cinderheart about maybe ShadowClan was the one who poisoned Larksong.
===In the Novellas===
====Hollyleaf's Story====
:He first appears outside, playing with Cherrykit. His mother, Poppyfrost calls for him to bring his sister back to the nursery. He then tells his littermate that she can't play today. Later on he is mentioned when Hollyleaf wants to go and look for herbs with Fallen Leaves to help the two kits. Later Hollyleaf watches as he and his sister practice battle moves. Near the end, Hollyleaf saves him and his sister from a fox.
====Dovewing's Silence====
:Molepaw is nudged by Purdy who says that he will need help burying the dead. Molepaw just grunts in response, but when Purdy says that he is the only elder left Molepaw looks abashed and gets up to help Purdy.
:Dovewing whirls around when she hears a kit say help that the Dark Forest is coming to attack her. She relaxes when she sees Molepaw creeping up on the kit, Amberkit. Dewkit and Snowkit run up to him yowling that he is a traitor, and Molepaw playfully responds by asking if they do not trust him even though he swore the oath. He pounces in front of the kits, but Dovewing steps in front of him asking him what he's doing. Molepaw says that he's just playing, and Dovewing then says that there is no need to scare the kits now that the battle has already been won. Molepaw's gaze slides over to where Thornclaw and Birchfall are eating and mutters that it hasn't been entirely won. Daisy comes out to see what's going on, and Dovewing explains that Molepaw didn't choose the best game, but Daisy tells her to leave them alone, as the kits are just play-fighting. Glaring at Dovewing, Molepaw tells her that she heard Daisy and shouldn't stick her muzzle where it doesn't belong. Dovewing growls he knows what he did wrong and he should think about if he is helping the Clan. The apprentice continues the game though, letting the kits leap onto him.
:The next day, Molepaw joins a patrol with Cherrypaw and Rosepetal. During that patrol they burst out of the undergrowth to a patrol that is mostly made up of the former Dark Forest trainees. His eyes are wide and fur bushed in panic, and Cherrypaw explains they found a fox. Rosepetal starts to say the news is worse than something until Molepaw cuts in, saying they are going to let Bramblestar's patrol know, as he might send a patrol to track the fox down and chase it out.
:Cherrypaw and Bramblestar's patrol arrive at the fox to find the fox dead and injured warriors surrounding it. Bramblestar notices the trap caught on the fox's tail, and says Cherrypaw and Molepaw told him they found traces of fox inside the border. He asks the patrol if they chased it into the trap. Dovewing figures out it was already in the trap when the first patrol found it. Bramblestar says they were not told of the trap, and Dovewing figures out that Cherrypaw and Molepaw deliberately sent the former Dark Forest trainees to the crazed fox, because they feel no loyalty towards them anymore. Molepaw shifts his paws and whines they didn't know they would attack it, and that they just wanted to give them a scare, but Lionblaze hisses they nearly killed their Clanmates. They head back to camp, and Bramblestar congratulates the former Dark Forest trainees for their bravery. Cherrypaw and Molepaw approach them, apologizing for their actions and promising it won't happen again.
====Spotfur's Rebellion====
:Molewhisker returns from a hunting patrol with a robin. He helps Finleap carry Bramblestar to the moor, and he expresses worry that Shadowpaw's plan will not help their leader and that it will be his fault for leaving him.
