[edit] History

[edit] In the New Prophecy Series

[edit] Midnight

Birchkit is first seen in Midnight as a young kit. He and his siblings, Larchkit and Hollykit are born to Dustpelt and Ferncloud. Out of his siblings, he is the most daring and adventurous.

[edit] Moonrise

In Moonrise, ThunderClan starts to run out of fresh-kill and one of Birchkit's siblings, Larchkit, dies of starvation and cold.

[edit] Dawn

Birchkit's other sister, Hollykit, dies of starvation. After Hollykit's death, Cody, a kittypet caught by the construction workers that escaped with Leafpaw, helps to take care of him, feeding him and playing with him while she stays in ThunderClan. During the Great Journey he makes it known that he misses his kittypet friend, asking why she had to leave. He survived the Great Journey as the only kit in ThunderClan.

[edit] Starlight

In Starlight, Birchkit first appeared alongside three ShadowClan kits, Toadkit, Applekit and Marshkit, whom he was friends with. When the clans go to their new territories, Birchkit, along with Toadkit, Applekit, and Marshkit, don't want to leave because of their friendship. But Birchkit later has to leave and sadly says goodbye. Later on in the book, Birchkit attempts to catch a robin and almost falls over the edge of the quarry to his death.

[edit] Twilight

Birchkit becomes the first kit to become an apprentice in ThunderClan's new territory. Ashfur, who is also his uncle, becomes his mentor. Whitepaw, the only other apprentice, helps him with apprentice duties and watches out for him.

[edit] Sunset

Birchpaw and Whitepaw grow close to each other, being the only two apprentices in ThunderClan.
Birchpaw is sent out on an assessment by Ashfur, his mentor. Later, Ashfur sends Birchpaw to tell Firestar that Blackstar is waiting on Thunderclan territory, which led to Firestar getting caught in a fox trap.

[edit] In the Power of Three Series

[edit] The Sight

In The Sight, Birchfall appears as a young warrior. During the beginning of The Sight, he has whitecough along with Brackenfur, but they both recover and go back to warrior duties.

[edit] Dark River

In Dark River, Birchfall is on guard duty when Lionpaw and Jaypaw go to look at the stick by the lake. He tries to be wise and all-knowing, but he is still a young warrior. Earlier on in the book, Jaypaw pulls a thorn out of his paw just before Cinderpaw is injured.

[edit] Outcast

Birchfall is mostly seen hanging around the newly-named Berrynose. When talking about the Great Journey, Birchfall mentions his ShadowClan friends, Applekit, Toadkit and Marshkit, and wonders what happened to them. When Whitewing was given Icepaw as her apprentice, he, along with Berrynose, disagreed with Firestar's decision. Later. Birchfall and Berrynose go on a walk and cross the ShadowClan border. They are caught by Blackstar. Firestar is furious and makes them do apprentice duties for awhile.

[edit] Eclipse

It is revealed that Birchfall and Whitewing were spending more time together and sharing tongues often, after Cinderpaw was gossiping with Hollypaw.

[edit] Long Shadows

Whitewing was noted to be getting plump, with Birchfall circling around her proudly, indicating that Whitewing may be pregnant with his kits. It is confirmed at the end of the book when Birchfall says, "Think of the kits".

[edit] Sunrise

Birchfall is chosen to go on the journey to find Sol. He almost dies twice and is worried about seeing Whitewing and his unborn kits. While at the sun-drown-place, he nearly drowns. He's saved and mutters, "I thought I was on my way to StarClan for sure." On the way back, he finds sheep wool and brings some to camp for Whitewing and his unborn kits. At the end of the book, he has two daughters, Dovekit and Ivykit. While they are being born he is tense and continually glancing at Berrynose, whose mate, Honeyfern, died earlier in the book.
