Poppyclaw was a ThunderClan warrior, previously serving under the leadership of Batstar.

#### Appearance

Poppyclaw was a pale tortoiseshell cat with light blue eyes.

#### Family

Poppyclaw was a parental figure to Silvertail.

#### Comic Involvement

Poppyclaw is the mentor of Silverpaw and when Redstripe approaches them to talk to Silverpaw, Poppyclaw sneers at their apprentice for not listening to what they were saying. While Redstripe speaks to Silverpaw, Poppyclaw rolls their eyes as the apprentice begins blushing after hearing Sparklepaw was asking about her. Redstripe asks Poppyclaw who they are when they interrupt and they then explain they are Silverpaw's mentor as well as parental figure.

They are next seen waking Silverpaw up from her nightmare. She leaves the den, leaving Poppyclaw looking concerned for their apprentice. Batwing, now Batstar calls a meeting, stating that Burrstar is dead, and claims he was killed by Birchstar. Batstar makes Silverpaw into Thunderclan’s new deputy. Poppyclaw and a young warrior, Mothflight, protest saying that she is only an apprentice which Batstar quickly silences them and renames Silverpaw to Silvertail.

After some time has passed, Thunderclan is preparing for war with Windclan. Poppyclaw walks up to Silvertail, who is clearly upset about the attack, in hopes to try and comfort her by saying everything will be fine. Silvertail is visibly uninterested in what they are saying to her, as a result she cuts their conversation short as she sees Batstar entering his den. She leaves Poppyclaw who is genuinely confused and asks where she is going as she follows Thunderclan’s leader into his den.

A little while later, Thunderclan sneaks into Windclan territory to see Silvertail warning Windclan about the attack. Batstar attacks Silvertail, and Poppyclaw defends her telling him to stay away from their daughter, and strike at Batstar. Unfortunately, Batstar struck Poppyclaw across the throat, killing them almost instantly.

#### Personality

Poppyclaw has a serious demeanor, and while they may not be a "people person," they have never been cruel. They will prioritize those they care for above themselves and their clan.

#### Relationships

Silvertail: We know that Poppyclaw is the guardian of Silvertail, meaning the two most likely share a close relationship and they care for Silvertail like any parental figure would. Poppyclaw ended up giving their life to save Silvertail, fighting against their own leader.

Batstar: Poppyclaw has never been to fond of their leader, especially after Batstar made their foster daughter, Silvertail, clan deputy when she was only an apprentice.

Turtlefoot: Turtlefoot and Poppyclaw were close friends. Because of this, when Turtlefoot was killed, Poppyclaw was more than willing to adopt Silvertail.

#### Fun Facts
