History

In the Novellas

Mapleshade's Vengeance

Bloomheart: "Oakstar's right, they don't belong here."

Mapleshade: "You were my mentor, Bloomheart! You know I would never betray my Clan!"

^{Mapleshade's Vengeance, chapter 4}

When Frecklewish attacks Mapleshade out of her fury, Bloomheart and Seedpelt drag her away from the shocked queen. After Oakstar announces the banishment of Mapleshade, Bloomheart howls his approval. Mapleshade is horrified, reminding Bloomheart that he was her mentor once. The gray tom doesn't look at her, saying that Mapleshade has disappointed him.

As Mapleshade plans to attack Frecklewish, she hears Bloomheart telling a hunting patrol to split up and meet again at a lightning-struck elm. After Frecklewish has been bitten by an adder, Bloomheart calls for her, arriving in the clearing with Seedpelt and Thrushtalon. He tells his Clanmates to watch for snakes, while he bends over Frecklewish, assuring her of their presence. Frecklewish cries out that she cannot see, and Bloomheart bemoans about how they needed Ravenwing, as he had died. He orders Seedpelt to quickly fetch some wet moss to wash the venom out of Frecklewish's eyes, while Thrushtalon is commanded to fetch any fennel scraps he can find in order to save Frecklewish's eyesight.

Bloomheart tells Frecklewish to lie still while she complains that ThunderClan didn't have a medicine cat. Frecklewish asks if she would die, and Bloomheart vows that she wouldn't, under his watch. As she watches him, Mapleshade feels bile rising in her throat.

Pinestar's Choice

"Bloomheart found her. But there was nothing he could do."

―Nettlebreeze about Bloomheart finding Frecklewish and trying to help her ^{Pinestar's Choice, chapter 2}

He is now an elder. Nettlebreeze mentions him as he tells Pinepaw, Daisypaw, and Littlepaw the story of Frecklewish's death. He mentions that Bloomheart found Frecklewish after a snake spat venom into her eye. There was nothing Bloomheart could do, however, and Frecklewish died a few days later. Following the Great Hunger, Mistpelt is the only elder left.
