[edit] History

[edit] In the Original Series

[edit] Into the Wild

Fernkit was born to Brindleface of ThunderClan, along with her brother, Ashkit. They were part of a litter of four kits, though the other two go unnamed.

[edit] Fire and Ice

One of Fernkit's two unnamed littermates dies due to greencough and Brindleface takes in Cloudkit. Soon after, another unnamed sibling also dies of sickness, leaving only Cloudkit, Ashkit, and Fernkit in Brindleface's litter. Cloudkit frequently gets the other two into trouble. For example, the three kits go out of camp in the middle of a blizzard to go hunting.

[edit] Rising Storm

Fernkit is apprenticed as Fernpaw to the warrior Darkstripe, but seems frightened of her new mentor. Dustpelt is seen stealing glances at her and trying to be on the same patrols as her, indicating that he likes her.

[edit] A Dangerous Path

When Brightpaw and Swiftpaw go missing, it is Fernpaw that tells Fireheart that they went to go find out what was leaving a mess near Snakerocks, in an attempt to impress their leader, Bluestar. Dustpelt encourages her to speak, and he seems to have a strong liking for her.
Later in the book, Fernpaw and Ashpaw's mother, Brindleface, is killed by the ShadowClan leader Tigerstar, in order to give the oncoming dog pack a taste for cat blood. Devastated and angered by their mother's murder, both apprentices take part as runners to lead the dogs along the line of cats to the gorge.

[edit] The Darkest Hour

Her mentor, Darkstripe, was found guilty of feeding Sorrelkit deathberries, and thus her mentor was changed to Longtail.
She helped Cinderpelt carry herbs to Fourtrees and also to care for injured cats during the battle against BloodClan.

[edit] In the Super Edition Series

[edit] Super Edition: Firestar's Quest

She has become a queen, now named Ferncloud, and she and Dustpelt have become mates. She has two kits now, named Spiderkit and Shrewkit.
She also questions Firestar's decision to leave the Clan while a badger was on ThunderClan territory which could attack her kits.
Also when Willowpelt dies and Sorrelpaw becomes depressed she takes care of her.

[edit] In the New Prophecy Series

[edit] Midnight

In Midnight, she has given birth to three more kits: Birchkit, Larchkit, and Hollykit.

[edit] Moonrise

Ferncloud cares for her weakening kits as the forest is slowly destroyed. With the prey nearly gone, Ferncloud does not eat enough, and so her milk supply suffers. Larchkit soon dies of hunger, leaving Ferncloud devastated.

[edit] Dawn

Ferncloud does her best to care for her two remaining kits as the Clan is forced to shelter at Sunningrocks.
Shrewpaw, her son from her first litter, is killed when his neck is broken by a Twoleg monster, depressing her further.
Despite her best efforts, Hollykit also dies of hunger. Grief nearly overwhelms her.
Now desperate to keep Birchkit alive, she braves the journey to find a new home along with the other Clans.

[edit] Starlight

Now that ThunderClan is sheltered in their new territory, Ferncloud ensures proper care for Birchkit. Slowly, she begins to recover from the loss of her kits. It is also shown in this book that she had become friends with Tallpoppy of ShadowClan on the Great Journey.

[edit] Twilight

Ferncloud returns to warrior duties when Birchkit is apprenticed to her brother, Ashfur, although she is still listed as a queen in the allegiances.
When the badgers attack ThunderClan, she bravely leads Daisy, Daisy's kits, and young Birchpaw to safety.

[edit] Sunset

Ferncloud helps Daisy and Sorreltail with their kits in the nursery, along with attending to normal warrior duties.

[edit] In the Power of Three Series

[edit] The Sight

Prior to the beginning of the book, she suckled Hollykit, Jaykit, and Lionkit when Squirrelflight's milk did not come.
When she gives birth to Icekit and Foxkit, Daisy helps to take over care of Lionkit, Hollykit, and Jaykit's. When the trio got into trouble after the trying to track the fox, she and Daisy are in charge of the kits and allow them to leave only when they say they can. Even though Hollykit left once without premission to see Leafpool for Lionkit who had thorns in his pelt (since he snuck out of the nursery), she lets the kits off easy saying she was doing it for a good cause.
Later, she becomes ill with Greencough, but under Jaypaw and Leafpool's good care, she quickly recovers.
When Ashfur is picked to go on the patrol to help WindClan, she tells him to be careful. Ashfur says that he has outrun dogs before, and Ferncloud reminds him that she was at his side then.

[edit] Dark River

Ferncloud continues to care for her latest litter of kits, Icekit and Foxkit.

[edit] Outcast

Her kits are made into apprentices, now named Foxpaw and Icepaw. Foxpaw is apprenticed to Squirrelflight, and Icepaw is apprenticed to Whitewing. She also becomes a grandmother to Spiderleg and Daisy's kits, Rosekit and Toadkit.

[edit] Eclipse

During the WindClan invasion, she, and some other warriors, stay behind to guard the camp. When Dustpelt and Foxpaw are leaving, she seems sad to say good-bye to one of her kits, probably because of Shrewpaw, Hollykit, and Larchkit's death in the old forest.

[edit] Long Shadows

When Brambleclaw calls for a meeting and Ferncloud walks out of the Warrior den, it shows that she may have returned to her warrior duties.
Ferncloud's brother, Ashfur, is murdered and was found in the lake on WindClan territory. She never knew that the murderer was Firestar's granddaughter, Hollyleaf.
