History

In the Field Guide Arc

Code of the Clans

Lightningpelt is an ancient RiverClan warrior under Troutstar's leadership.

She and her friends, Molewhisker, Snaketooth, and Nettlepad put their lives at risk by doing ridiculously dangerous things nearly every moon, which normally results in an injury to one of the cats. After their latest stunt, climbing one of the Great Oaks, Snaketooth breaks his leg. Lightningpelt and the others visit him in the medicine den, and she hushes Nettlepad when he speaks too loudly about their plan to jump the gorge the following moon.

Lightningpelt and her friends are made to sit a silent vigil guarding the camp, after their medicine cat, Meadowpelt, hears their plan and speaks with StarClan and Troutstar, who doubtingly agrees to try Meadowpelt's plan. After Nettlepad hears a fox during the night, she and Molewhisker chase it to the border of their territory. When she gets back, she offers to show the apprentices some fishing techniques, seemingly giving up her immature stunts. Her friends tell the apprentices about what an amazing hunter Lightningpelt is. Her night of listening has helped her realize the importance of being a warrior.
