Ivypool

Ivypool is a silver-and-white tabby she-cat with dark blue eyes.
Ivypool is the current ThunderClan deputy under Squirrelstar's leadership in the lake territories. Ivykit was born during Firestar's leadership to Birchfall and Whitewing, along with her sister Dovekit. She was apprenticed to Cinderheart as Ivypaw. Because of her powers, Dovepaw received special attention from some of their Clanmates, which made Ivypaw grow jealous. She was recruited by Hawkfrost to train in the Dark Forest to become a better warrior, but learned of their true intentions and became a spy for Jayfeather and Lionblaze. She received her warrior name, Ivypool, and became a warrior of the Dark Forest after killing Antpelt. During the Great Battle, Ivypool fought with the Clans and managed to convince multiple Dark Forest trainees to switch sides, but failed to convince Breezepelt who informed the Dark Forest leaders of Ivypool's betrayal. After, Ivypool took the oath of loyalty to the Clans along with the surviving trainees, and she mended her relationship with Dovewing. 
She received her first apprentice, Snowbush, and later on received her second, Twigbranch, and the two formed a close bond. Ivypool became mates with Fernsong, and the two had three kits, Bristlekit, Thriftkit, and Flipkit. Ivypool was hesitant about staying in the nursery, so Fernsong volunteered in her place once the kits were weaned. Ivypool maintained a close relationship with her kits, and was hesitant to stand up to the impostor out of fear of exile. Her relationship with her sister became strained again after Dovewing became mates with Tigerstar and joined ShadowClan to raise their family, but the two found comfort in their kinship. After Bristlefrost's death, Ivypool heavily grieved but found comfort in Rootspring, her daughter's lover. When Squirrelstar became leader, she appointed Ivypool as her deputy. After Whistlepaw's vision about StormClan, Ivypool, Rootspring, Dovewing, Whistlepaw, and Icewing set out on a quest to find them.
==History==
===Omen of the Stars===
:Ivykit and her sister, Dovekit, are ThunderClan's newest apprentices, and her mentor is Cinderheart. The two sisters are as close as they can be, and aspire to do everything together. However, she accuses Dovepaw of seeking attention when she makes up some brown creatures blocking the water to the lake, and becomes even more jealous when her sister is chosen on a mission to free the lake water. Ivypaw notices Firestar and some of the senior warriors treating Dovepaw differently, but Dovepaw denies the accusations. Ivypaw begins to wonder what makes her sister so special to the rest of ThunderClan.
:In her dreams, Ivypaw is visited by Hawkfrost who offers to train her. As the two bond as mentor and apprentice, Hawkfrost takes her to the Dark Forest and introduces her to her new "Clanmates". Jayfeather discovers Ivypaw is training in the Dark Forest, and Dovepaw tries to convince her to stop, but Ivypaw wishes to become a better warrior. However, after learning the brutality of her mentors, Ivypaw wishes to stop visiting, but Lionblaze and Jayfeather convince her to spy on the Dark Forest for them. Dovepaw also tells her sister about her powers.
:Ivypaw's loyalty is continually tested, ranging from brutal training sessions to killing her "Clanmates". Brokenstar forces her to kill Flametail's spirit, and in order to figure out the Dark Forest's ultimate plan, Ivypaw attacks Flametail but is stopped by Tigerheart. Back in ThunderClan, Ivypaw earns her warrior name, Ivypool. She befriends Blossomfall who also joined the Dark Forest for similar reasons, and is asked to train Hollowpaw. Ivypool asks to become a full warrior of the Dark Forest, and is told to kill Antpelt's spirit to prove herself. She is horrified when her father, Birchfall, joins the Dark Forest as well. She warns Dovewing and the others about the coming battle, and the Clans begin their preparations. During the Great Battle, Ivypool encourages the other Dark Forest trainees to fight for the Clans. Thistleclaw accuses her of being a traitor, and he, Snowtuft and Hawkfrost attack her. Hollyleaf, whom Ivypool has befriended, rushes to her aid, but is killed.
===A Vision of Shadows===
:Ivypool mentors Twigpaw, and gently encourages her apprentice during her training. She understands the importance of having family in the Clan, and Ivypool goes with Fernsong, Alderpaw, and Twigpaw to find Twigpaw's mother. However, the mission was unsuccessful, and they conclude that Twigpaw's mother died. When Twigpaw goes missing, Ivypool frantically blames herself for not watching her apprentice after the journey. After Twigpaw is found, Ivypool accompanies her to see Violetpaw in ShadowClan after Darktail and his rogues take over.
:When some of the ShadowClan cats stay in ThunderClan, Ivypool looks disapprovingly at Dovewing and Tigerheart. When Alderheart has a vision of Twigpaw's kin, Twigpaw wants to go find them but Ivypool insists they must focus on fighting the Kin. When Twigpaw leaves and a patrol finds blood on a Thunderpath, Ivypool blames herself. Dovewing tries to comfort her, but Ivypool accuses her of not focusing on ThunderClan, referencing Tigerheart. When Twigpaw returns, Ivypool apologizes and insists her apprentice was very brave.
:Fernsong brings up the idea of kits, but Ivypool is hesitant to give up the life of a warrior. Fernsong suggests he could stay in the nursery after the kits are weaned. During a hunting patrol, Ivypool runs into her former apprentice who'd joined SkyClan and voices her disappointment. Ivypool visits SkyClan to look for Dovewing who'd gone missing, and Leafstar dryly remarks if she asked Tigerheart yet. When Twigpaw returns to ThunderClan, she is given Sparkpelt as a mentor due to Ivypool moving to the nursery. She gives birth to Flipkit, Thriftkit, and Bristlekit. Dovewing brings her kits to meet Ivypool and her family, and informs her furious sister she is moving to ShadowClan.
===The Broken Code===
:Her kits have now become warriors named Bristlefrost, Thriftear, and Flipclaw. When Bramblestar's impostor exiles Graystripe and Sparkpelt, Ivypool and Fernsong wish to go with them and the other cats who stand against the impostor's tyranny, but stayed for the sake of their kits. When Flipclaw decides to go on a wander to reflect on what it means to be a Clan cat, Ivypool begs him not to go, but Flipclaw is unsure if he will return to ThunderClan. About a moon after, Flipclaw returns, and Ivypool greets him warmly along with the rest of her family, curious about his adventures and where he had gone. Later, Bristlefrost tells her she is going into the Dark Forest to try and save Rootspring. Her mother accepts this, knowing that she can't stop her daughter, so she tells her to be careful and that the Dark Forest is a dangerous place. Bristlefrost sacrifices herself to defeat Ashfur, and Ivypool heavily grieves for her daughter.
===A Starless Clan===
:Ivypool is chosen to be Squirrelstar's deputy, a popular choice amongst her Clanmates. Her first task is to create three trials for Sunbeam when she asks to join ThunderClan to be with Nightheart: teaching Stemkit, Bristlekit, and Graykit how to hunt as a team, working together with Cherryfall, Alderheart, and Bayshine to safely remove a boulder from the top of the stone hollow, and to follow a set of riddles around ThunderClan's territory. Ivypool is very vocal about her doubts of Splashtail's leadership, and believes Frostpaw's story. Ivypool tries to persuade Squirrelstar to act against him, but to no avail.

:In Tigerheart's Shadow, Ivypool and Dovewing are barely on speaking terms ever since Tigerheart returned to ShadowClan. Tigerheart seeks Ivypool out and attempts to convince her to persuade Dovewing to not leave ThunderClan. Ivypool disapproves of their secret relationship, and Tigerheart snaps back that she should not shun Dovewing away. After Dovewing disappears, Ivypool goes to ShadowClan to see if she's there. Later, Tigerheart runs into Ivypool again and admits he knew she was going to leave. Ivypool snarls at Tigerheart that he should have followed her and her sister deserved a better mate.
:In Ivypool's Heart, Ivypool struggles with her grief following Bristlefrost's death, even despite her happiness at being appointed Squirrelstar's deputy. When Whistlepaw receives a vision foretelling the Clans to right an ancient wrong, Ivypool is chosen alongside Rootspring, Dovewing, Whistlepaw, and Icewing on the journey. The quest provides Ivypool a chance to properly grieve for Bristlefrost, and she shares her grief with Dovewing, Icewing, and Rootspring.
