Forestkit was a WindClan kit who served under Birchstar's leadership.

#### Appearance

Forestkit was a small ginger tabby tom with three darker patches on his back and bright teal eyes.

#### Family

Forestkit was the son of Redstripe and Thorntail, and the brother of Puddlepaw. He was born in his parent's second litter. He was also the brother of Bubblepaw, Sparklepaw, and Willowpaw though the three of them passed before he was born. He was the grandson of Snowfoot and Speckleear. In StarClan, he was adopted by Tortoiseleaf.

#### Comic Involvement

Forestkit intercepts his father as he returns from the graves of his previous kits. He asks Thorntail to play rocks with him, to which his father suggests playing with Puddlekit instead. Forestkit explains Puddlekit's eyes aren't open yet so he can't play with him, causing Thorntail to worry. His father leaves to visit Redstripe and Puddlekit in the nursery.

Forestkit finds Coldpaw next and asks the apprentice to play with him instead. Puddlekit meets up with his brother and explains why he's out of the nursery. Forestkit has the idea to eavesdrop on their conversation, thinking it is about Puddlekit's eyes. He leads Coldpaw and Puddlekit into a secret tunnel between the walls of the nursery to listen. After hearing Redstripe and Thorntail talk about the deaths of their previous litter. Forestkit seems upset and asks Coldpaw what they are talking about. Before he can answer Redstripe mentions going to find Puddlekit, and the three rush outside of the tunnel to meet the parents in the clearing.

Forestkit is seen briefly playing in a puddle with Puddlekit. He splashes Puddlekit, laughing. Birchstar watches them.

Forestkit is then shown asleep beside Puddlekit and Redstripe as Coldpaw walks past the nursery.

Forestkit is then shown asleep, from inside the nursery this time, beside Redstripe and Puddlekit. He is then awoken by a mysterious voice telling him to come. It is revealed that this voice belongs to Birchstar, who is crouched in Forestkit's previously mentioned secret tunnel through the nursery. She tells him that she has something cool to show him. Forestkit eagerly follows her, through the secret tunnel and out into camp. He asks her if the thing she's about to show him is big, and Birchstar responds *"maybe,"* and that she'll bring him to it. He excitedly follows her out of camp. Several minutes later, the two arrive at a road. He is shocked and amazed at seeing it.

Birchstar explains to Forestkit that the thing they've arrived at is the thunderpath. She then urges Forestkit to walk out on it. He does what she says, calling her by name, which shows that he knows who she is. A car, or monster, begins approaching Forestkit. He asks what it is, to which Birchstar responds *"Something really fun."* She then urges Forestkit to go closer to it, after he exclaims that it's getting bigger. He begins to look uneasy. As the headlights get closer, he asks Birchstar if she's sure that the monster is something really fun. Birchstar assures him that it is, and Forestkit stays on the road. He is hit by the car, goes flying, and then lays dead on the pavement as the car passes by.

It has been confirmed that after Forestkit goes to StarClan, he is taken in by Birchstar's mother, Tortoiseleaf, who died before she could be a mother to her daughter. It has also been confirmed by the creator that in StarClan, the two of them play "rocks" together and Forestkit calls Tortoiseleaf *"Star Mama."*

#### Personality

Forestkit is shown as being outgoing, playful, energetic, and mischievous--he is also rather confident, since he went to eavesdrop on his parents without any doubt that he would be caught. He is trusting, perhaps too much so. He loves rocks.

#### Fun Facts

* Forestkit's old design showed him with brighter orange fur, with cream and white accents, and blue eyes, instead of darker ginger fur and teal eyes. Additionally, his tail is noticeably fluffier.
* It has been confirmed that the reason the car that hit Forestkit didn't stop was because the driver was texting their mom and not paying attention to the road.
* It has been confirmed by the comic creator that Forestkit's warrior name would have been Forestfire.
