Page 20, Page 28, Page 70

Willowpaw was a WindClan apprentice that served under the leadership of Birchstar.

#### Appearance

Willowpaw is a deep brown tabby she-cat with folded ears and green eyes.

#### Family

Willowpaw was the daughter of Redstripe and Thorntail. Her siblings were Bubblepaw and Sparklepaw. She has two younger siblings, Forestkit and Puddlepaw, but died before they were conceived. She is the granddaughter of Snowfoot and Speckleear.

#### Comic Involvement

During the prologue of the comic, Willowpaw is seen laying among her siblings as a newborn.

Willowpaw is later playing a game with her siblings. After Bubblepaw gets into an argument with Coldkit, Birchstar punishes all three of them by not allowing them to the gathering.

Willowpaw is then seen saying goodbye to Redstripe as she leaves for the gathering.

That night, Willowpaw is woken up by Sparklepaw and Bubblepaw arguing. After complaining, she decides to try and sleep in the warriors den. However, Birchstar is there waiting for her. Willowpaw tries to question her, but is immediately attacked. Birchstar tells her, *“Please don’t take this personally. Family matters, you understand,”* before ripping her throat out. After this, Willowpaw is left to die.

Willowpaw's body is then found by Goldentail and the clan after the gathering, in a pile next to her siblings.

Willowpaw's ghost appears behind Birchstar as she leaves to wash Redstripe's blood off her face. She stares at her killer, emotionless.

#### Personality

Willowpaw is shown to be quiet and peaceful, yet having a grumpy side, shown when she was woken up by her siblings. She also seems to value sleep, disregarding whether or not Birchstar would be angry with her sleeping in the warriors' den because she was tired.

#### Fun Facts

* Willowpaw's warrior name would have been Willowear.
* Willowpaw would most likely have had a love interest had she lived longer. She is heterosexual, as confirmed by the comic's creator.
Mothflight

Mothflight is a young ThunderClan warrior serving under Batstar's leadership, having perviously served under Burrstar's.

#### Appearance

Mothflight is a brown tabby tom with moth-like markings on his back, swooping fur, and pale yellow eyes. He has a small scar on his snout.

#### Comic Involvement

Mothpaw is briefly mentioned by Bubblepaw before the massacre, in which Bubblepaw points out that he wanted to see him at the gathering.

He is then shown greeting Silvertail, blushing, as she walks down the cliff to get something to eat. He begins to ask her if she wants to do something, but he is shot down immediately in the middle of his sentence, by her telling him to go jump in the lake. Exhasperated, he yells after her *"You're not even gonna let me finish?"* before following her into camp. Batstar then calls a clan meeting, and Mothflight steps up beside SIlverpaw. She asks him where Burrstar is, before Batstar announces that Burrstar is dead.

Mothflight invades WindClan camp alongside the rest of ThunderClan. He briefly fights Redstripe before witnessing Bushberry kill his mother, Vinetail, horrified. After the fight he is seen dragging out his mother's body out of WindClan to be buried in ThunderClan.

#### Personality

Mothflight has been shown to have a positive personality, seemingly very open to socializing, though we have only seem him interact with Silvertail.

#### Relationships

Silvertail: Mothflight has a crush on Silvertail, and has been shown to try and spend time with her to no avail. Silvertail cut off the tom and hasn't shown any interest in him. Mothflight may not know she is only interested in she-cats.

Bubblepaw: Mothflight was friends with Bubblepaw before he died and the two would hang out at gatherings.

Vinetail: They have never been shown interacting, though from Mothflight's reaction to her death it can be presumed they had an overall close and positive relationship.

Prith

**Prith** is a protagonist in The Black Box series.

## Summary

Prith is a tall, suave, Indian man with a small face located at the bottom of his head. He is known for performing "Prithisms". He is kind, compassionate, and determined, never backing down from a challenge.

### The Black Box

In The Black Box, Prith is depicted as an aloof, tall, wiggly teenager. He had an apparent desire to travel to Dubai, but ended up at The Black Box instead. He is seen performing the Prith Run out of The Black Box, and continuing off a cliff. At the conclusion of the story, Prith's fate is unknown.

### The Black Box 2

Prith is not present in The Black Box 2. However, it would be around this time that he would begin attending medical school after his disappearance and eventual rescue. It was later determined that Prith had lost his memories of his time at The Black Box.

### The Black Box 3

Some time before The Black Box 3, Prith studied at Johns Hopkins University and completed four years of medical school. He also attained a simultaneous PhD in Chemistry. During this period, he at some point entered a romantic relationship with Naomi. Some time afterwards, he was employed as a chemistry teacher at Applesauce High School. Prith uses his school lab to create new potions and cures for various diseases, particularly the Saisushi Disease. When this cure fails and splashes on him, Prith turns into a zombie. He is mindless at first, but is brought back to his senses by Bhayna. Prith is told he is an instrumental part in protecting Joe, the "chosen one", in his quest to assemble the Cubes of Legend and activate the Roux Method. (Chapter 1).

Prith later learns from Bhayna that Joe has fallen victim to the Monster Bus (Chapter 2). Together, they travel to the Raritan River to rescue him. They discover Joe in a bubble deep in the river and Prith uses his long head to fish him out. He sees a spaceship land on a nearby island and Prith and Joe decide to investigate it together (Chapter 4).

## Summary

### The Black Box 3

Jeb is onboard the Q-Tip searching for the Applebottom Cube in the Sun. Suddenly, an alert starts going off and a monitor reads "Cube Found!" Jeb alerts his captain Talpos of the discovery and a grabber bot is immediately sent into the Sun to retrieve the Cube (Chapter 1). However, Jeb notices a strange energy burst emanating from the Sun and realizes that the Applebottom Cube was ejected onto Earth. He tries to alert Talpos but is quickly dismissed (Chapter 2). While the rest of the crew grows concerned of the Applebottom Cube's escape, Jeb bravely informs Talpos of this development. Furious, Talpos berates Jeb and beats him, but Jeb bravely stands tall and admonishes Talpos for his poor leadership. On the verge of being executed by Talpos, Jeb is suddenly saved by Agent Tai, who shoots Talpos in the head (Chapter 3).

Agent Tai takes command of the Q-Tip and forces Jeb and the crew to locate the Applebottom Cube for him. Jeb detects the Cube landed somewhere around the Raritan River and lands the ship on Nun Cove (Chapter 4).

#### About

Troutleap awkwardly finishes telling the RiverClan patrol the story about the frog, and Beestripe leads the patrol back to camp, with Birdsong following right behind him, complaining about the territory. Whitefang stops Troutleap as they are walking, turning to the deputy and making a vague, snide remark to him about being so close to the WindClan Border. She leaves him with a knowing glance, the tom looking clearly distressed, before following his clanmates.

Coldpool, Robinclaw, and Blackrain sigh in relief from behind the bushes as the patrol heads away.

Chapter 3: The Umami

## The Umami

**Chapter 3: The Umami** is the 3rd chapter of the 1st volume and the 3rd chapter overall of The Black Box 3.

## Summary

### Okinawa

Hish continues his story from last chapter about his attack at the hands of the Bathroom Bandit. He explains that the Bathroom Bandit uses Cube Serum to violate his victims, and that he lost all memories of the encounter. One day, he was approached by Bhayna who informed Hish of his attack, and reminded him of his mission to save a "man with a long head". Unfortunately, Hish also forgot about his mission, and had never completed it.

Noticing that it's getting late, Hish and Mochi decide to go to bed, but Hish notices something is amiss and gets up to take a look around the house. He sees his daughter's bedroom, lights on and door ajar, and enters, astonished to find his daughter missing.

### Sun

Jebediah, Moe Eye, Goggy, and Mack Donald are freaking out in the observation deck of the Q-Tip after learning that they've lost the Applebottom Cube. They are afraid to break the news to their power hungry captain Talpos, but Jebediah, being brave, steps forward and announces they have lost the cube. Jebediah blames their loss on Talpos for not listening to him. Talpos starts hurling slurs at Jebediah, and in response, Jebediah orates a beautifully crafted speech filled with revolutionary rhetoric criticizing Talpos's treatment of his crew. Talpos, in a fit of rage, begins absorbing Jebediah's life to kill him, but is One Deag'd in the head by Agent Tai.

## Trivia

* **Cover Characters**: Goggy, Mack Donald, Talpos Jikhail, Moe Eye, Jebediah
* **Chapter Title Meaning**: The Umami may refer to the umami of the tea that Hish drinks in the first page.
	+ Umami also sounds like the word "mommy." We learn in this chapter that Mochi is a mother.
	+ Jebediah calls Talpos a "pig in the deli." Pig meat, or pork, has an umami flavor.
	+ Umami means savory. Talpos savored his power when he interrogated Jebediah.
	+ It can also be a reference to the savory language used in the chapter.
	+ It can also be foreshadowing that the Cube Serum has an umami flavor.
	+ "Umami" is a Japanese loanword brought into the English language, making it a word in both languages. This may be a metaphor for Hish's life as an American born man living his life in Japan.
* This is the first chapter in the entire The Black Box series to be Rated M for Mature.
* This is the first chapter in The Black Box 3 to have color. In this case, Talpos's blood was colored red.
* Talpos's last name is revealed to be Jikhail.

#### About

Birchstar launches into a long monologue of her backstory. She explains to Redstripe that her father, Snowfoot, killed her mate, Icesplash, right in front of her, because he was deputy and Snowfoot wanted to be deputy instead. She says that she swiftly killed Snowfoot after she caught him in the act, but as she did, she gained her large chest scar. She then explains that after she killed Snowfoot, she was left with all this despair and nowhere to put it, that is, until she learned from Eaglestar that Snowfoot's mate, Speckleear, was expecting a kit, Redstripe. Redstripe stares at Birchstar, horrified. Birchstar tells her that ever since that moment, she's hated Redstripe, the prey she ate, the air she breathed, and the kits she had. She says that every time she sees Redstripe's *"big, happy face,"* all she sees is Icesplash lying dead in a lake of blood. Out of the flashback, she tells Redstripe that she had meant to kill all of her kits before finally killing her, but killing Puddlekit would be easy, and she couldn't possibly let Redstripe live now.
