#### Comic Involvement

Coldkit is first seen early in the comic being woken from a nap by a pebble hitting him in the head. He sits up to see Bubblepaw, Sparklepaw, and Willowpaw all playing rocks in the camp. Frustrated, he starts an argument with Bubblepaw and Birchstar steps in. The leader interrupts their argument and Coldkit tries to explain but she doesn't seem interested. She only demands that the three apprentices stay home from the gathering, earning a smug look from Coldkit.

Coldkit is then seen walking beside his sister on their way to the gathering.

During the journey home from the gathering Robinkit comes to Coldkit with a question. She mentions the RiverClan cat that their mother was speaking to at the gathering and asks if he looks suspiciously like her. After a moment of thought, Coldkit realizes what she means. The kits don't ask their mother and Coldkit offers the suggestion that it's a coincidence. Before more can be said, Goldentail screams as she finds the apprentice's body in a pile in camp. Coldkit pushes his way to see what she was talking about and is shocked at the sight. He is horrified and blames himself for their deaths.

A few moons later Coldpaw is walking through camp when Forestkit asks him if he wants to play "rocks" with him and Puddlekit. Coldpaw thinks back to the game that the apprentice's were playing the day they died and says he isn't sure about playing with the kits. Puddlekit comes over to his brother and the apprentice, and Coldpaw asks Puddlekit why his eyes are closed. The kit is confused as to what that means but before more is said Forestkit suggests they should eavesdrop on their parent's conversation. The kits run off to do so, and Coldpaw follows after, calling out for them to stop. He's hesitant about the plan. but Forestkit lets Coldpaw know about a secret tunnel he knows where they won't get caught, and the three of them enter the tunnel to the nursery walls. They listen in to Redstripe and Thorntail's conversation. Coldpaw quickly realizes this isn't a conversation about Puddlekit's eyes but about the deaths of their previous litter, and he looks away when Redstripe tells her mate that it wasn't anyone's fault that they died. Redstripe and Thorntail decide to go and find Puddlekit, and the three quickly leave the tunnel to meet them in the clearing.

Coldpaw is then seen during a battle training session with Robinpaw and Rosepaw. The other two apprentices are bickering when Pinewhisker shushes them. Coldpaw defends himself, reminding them that he didn't say anything, to which Pinewhisker seems disappointed in the tom, saying he is "very good at not saying anything." After assigning Robinpaw and Bushberry to train alone, Rosepaw expresses her disappointment in training with Coldpaw because he is not a challenge. The two begin a mock fight anyways, and Rosepaw quickly overtakes Coldpaw in battle. He cannot push her off of him and glances across the gathering to see a familiar grey apparition standing in the bushes. He freezes, staring at the spot, before rubbing his eyes. Looking at the spot once again, Coldpaw sees there is nobody there after all. Bushberry then bursts in to tell the rest of the group that Robinpaw was bit by a snake. Terrified for his sister, Coldpaw shoves Rosepaw off him and inspects her injury.

He is then seen in the medicine den with Deerheart, Honeypaw, Pinewhisker, Robinpaw, and Bushberry. Deerheart tells him that Robinpaw's snake bite isn't venomous, and Coldpaw is relieved. Deerheart then says that Robinpaw has to spend the night in the medicine den, and Coldpaw offers to stay with her.

Later that night, Coldpaw is seen sleeping beside Honeypaw in the medicine den, with Robinpaw asleep across from him. He wakes up, and suddenly jumps up, horrified, as he's seen Bubblepaw's ghost at the entrance to the den. He gets up and follows the ghost. He exits camp looking for it, but is startled by Honeypaw as he comes up behind him. Honeypaw asks him why he left camp, and Coldpaw explains he thought he saw a cat in the den. Honeypaw then insists they follow whoever it was, and explores around. He finds a trail, and calls to Coldpaw to come. Coldpaw runs after him, and Honeypaw begins to ask him something before Coldpaw claps a paw over his mouth to get him to stop talking after Coldpaw heard something. The two then see two kittypets, Xander and Clover, exploring their territory. They observe the intruders for a moment, and Honeypaw asks Coldpaw what they should do. After Xander gets angry with Clover and yells at her, Coldpaw expresses that he's considering attacking him. Clover refuses to leave when Xander asks her to, and he then crouches down and yells at her. Coldpaw thinks Xander is about to attack Clover, and he launches out of the bushes and knocks Xander over. Clover exclaims in fear, Honeypaw steps out of the bushes to separate them and Xander kicks Coldpaw off of him, making him hit his chin on the floor, getting a small wound. Coldpaw leaps up and accuses Xander of being about to attack Clover, which Xander denies. Honeypaw then convinces the kittypets to leave, and they do. He then tells Coldpaw that he didn't need to attack Xander, to which Coldpaw disagrees.

Coldpaw is next seen supporting Redstripe as she enters camp, with the help of Honeypaw. He and Honeypaw continue to support Redstripe as it is revealed that Birchstar is behind the deaths of Redstripe's kits. Birchstar threatens to kill Puddlekit, Redstripe, and anyone who stands in her way as Coldpaw and Honeypaw begin to in fear, before launching into the bushes and abandoning the clan.

Six moons later Blackrain calls Coldpool and Robinclaw to talk, she's hesitant, but reveals that the deputy of RiverClan, Troutleap, is her mate and their father. They tell her that they already knew, as Robinclaw saw them flirting at a gathering. Blackrain takes them to meet their father, and Troutleap is ecstatic to meet them. They can't talk long before a RiverClan patrol arrives and they are forced to hide, going back to camp soon after that.

The following day he is assigned to guard camp with Pinewhisker and Rosethorn as the rest of the clan hunts down Birchstar. He sees Puddlepaw and Robinclaw leave camp alone, and follows them in fear or them getting hurt. He loses their trail, and ends up coming across Clover again. She explains that Xander kicked her out of her house and sent cats to attack her after thye broke up, and asks Coldpool to join WindClan and train to become a warrior. Coldpool hesitates but allows her to join.

They enter camp and are confronted by Pinewhisker, furious at Coldpool for leaving camp and making the clan look for him, he tries to defend himself, but is silenced by Pinewhisker as she hears something. Birchstar suddendly jumps at Coldpool, attempting to kill him, he's saved as Pinewhisker pulls her off of him and fights her, Colfpool watches in horror as Pinewhisker is blinded and Birchstar loses her sixth life, and tells Clover that they have to fetch Deerheart.

Later that night Clover and Coldpool approach Goldenstar, and Clover is allowed to join WindClan.

The following moon Coldpool has become Cloverpaw's mentor. He is helping her memorize the names of everyone in WindClan. She's unsure if she'll ever memorize everyone, but Coldpool encourages her.

#### Personality

Coldpool's personality has changed drastically over the course of the comic. As a kit, Coldpool was antisocial, cranky, and defensive. But after the massacre, Coldpool blamed himself for the three apprentices' deaths and retreated into himself. He became very anxious and jumpy for a while, though ever since it was revealed that it was all a plan elaborated by Birchstar, he seems to have been recovering from his guilt, now still being more introverted than most of his clan, though a lot more confident with himself and around other cats.

#### Relationships

Robinclaw: The two siblings get along very well.

Bubblepaw: From what's known, he and Bubblepaw did not get along due to the fact that Bubblepaw and his sisters accidentally hit him with a rock while playing, causing an argument to ensue which led to the apprentices having to stay home. However, when Bubblepaw, Sparklepaw, and Willowpaw are murdered, he's greatly affected by it and blames himself for their deaths, thinking that if he didn't argue with them, perhaps they'd still be around.

#### Fun Facts

* Robinclaw is Coldpool's best friend. The sibling are very close.
* Coldpool would have likely stayed rude and snappy like he was as a kit if the massacre never happened. The main reason he became more closed off was because he blamed himself for the deaths of the trio.
* It has been confirmed that Coldpool will get a love interest in the future.
* Coldpool is demisexual, as confirmed by the comic's creator.
