**Jayfeather** is a main character from the book series *Warriors*. He appeared for the first time in the third arc of the series named *Power of Three*.

## Background

He was born as **Jaykit**, and is one of the children of Brambleclaw and Squirrelflight, alongside his siblings Hollykit and Lionkit. He was apprenticed to Brightheart to train as a warrior, becoming **Jaypaw**. After discovering an extraordinary ability to connect with other cats' feelings and walk in their dreams, he was urged by Spottedleaf to train as a medicine cat. At first, he refused, but he eventually agreed to train under Leafpool. While walking in the dreams of Firestar, Jaypaw heard about the Kin of Your Kin prophecy, realizing he and his littermates were destined to be powerful.

## Appearance

Jayfeather is a lean, mottled, pale gray tabby tom with blind, pale blue eyes like a jay's wing. He has thin and silky fur, and a scar running down one side.

## Personality

Jayfeather is a sharp, sarcastic, and wise medicine cat. He is not afraid to make scathing remarks to anyone and everyone, including his Clan leader. Despite his attitude, Jayfeather has strong relationships with those close to him, including Lionblaze, Alderheart and Briarlight.

## Disability

Jayfeather was born blind, despite this he is able to walk through the forest, guided by his smell, hearing and touch. Being blind has made his other senses more acute, because of this, Jayfeather has an excellent sense of smell that is very useful in his work as Medicine Cat.
