HistoryEdit

In the Super Edition ArcEdit

Yellowfang's SecretEdit

Cinderkit and Stumpykit are born to Clawface and Rowanberry of ShadowClan. They are seen looking out at the camp curiously beside their mother.

Cinderkit soon becomes Cinderpaw, with Nutwhisker as his mentor. They are eating at the fresh-kill pile.

The night Raggedstar dies, he is discussing what to do about WindClan with Scorchwind, Tangleburr, and Blackfoot, declaring that they will think they're weak wihtout a leader.

Cinderfur agrees with Brokenstar about the elders moving out of the camp, saying that with the amount of kits that are around and are forever bothering the elders, they should go.

As ShadowClan are debating whether of not Yellowfang really killed Marigoldkit and Mintkit, he sniffs and says that she's been acting like the entire Clan is a nuisance.

Cinderfur doesn't appear formally, but he is revealed to be the cat chosen to become ShadowClan's deputy when Nightpelt becomes Clan leader. This is unusual, since deputies were rarely chosen from cats as old as Cinderfur.

Forest of Secrets Edit

When ThunderClan is forced to travel through a strip of ShadowClan's territory to attend a Gathering because of a flooded stream in their territory, ShadowClan stops and challenges them. Cinderfur stands near the front of his Clan's Gathering patrol, and accuses them of spying. Tigerclaw contemptuously asks how they could spy on anything when they were nowhere near their camp. Cinderfur growls, and tells Nightstar to give the word to attack. Both sides prepare to lunge at each other, but Nightstar doesn't give the order, saying that he wanted ThunderClan at this Gathering, much to their bewilderment. Cinderfur respects his leader's order, and backs down, a sign of his respect and loyalty for Nightstar.

Rising StormEdit

Whitethroat and Littlecloud tell Fireheart and Sandstorm they feared Nightstar would die from the sickness when there was no cat to take his place as leader. Fireheart prompts them about Cinderfur, but they ignore him. It's assumed by Fireheart that either Cinderfur was too old to become Clan leader, or he had already died.

At a Gathering, Whitestorm asks if Cinderfur was going to represent ShadowClan after Nightstar is revealed to be dead, but Runningnose tells them he had been one of the first to become ill and die.

A Dangerous PathEdit

Tigerstar, ShadowClan's new leader, explains Nightstar had been too weak to appoint a new cat in Cinderfur's place and died without a deputy, leaving ShadowClan without a leader up until Tigerstar's arrival.
