Mottlepaw

"I wasn't doing anything wrong. Anyway, it's so hard to tell where our territory turns into ThunderClan. It's not like there's a river in the way!"

History

In the Field Guide Arc

Code of the Clans

Mottlepaw is an ancient SkyClan apprentice. 

He patrols the ThunderClan border with his mentor, Poppycloud, whom is also his mother. He is shown to be very eager when he asks Poppycloud if there are any sounds she can hear, and she answers that she can only hear him. Then two ThunderClan cats show up. Mottlepaw finds himself on the wrong side of the border, and hastily backtracks, then tells Poppycloud that it wasn't his fault. She then sniffs the borders, and doesn't blame him because she can barely smell the difference between the ThunderClan and SkyClan border herself.

When the ThunderClan leader, Lionstar, comes forth with his deputy, Greeneyes, to the camp to demand why SkyClan are always at their borders, Mottlepaw hides behind Poppycloud, thinking they had come to get him for accidentally trespassing. He cheers for his mother when she speaks out that there should be a law on patrolling borders. When Lionstar says that with the law he'll be able to tear the fur off any cat that trespasses, Mottlepaw scrambles back into the apprentice den, obviously scared.

Trivia

Interesting Facts

• It is revealed that he is not only Poppycloud's apprentice, but also her son. It is an odd mentorship, since it had been stated that family usually does not mentor their own kin.

Quotes

Mottlepaw: "Can you hear anything, Poppycloud? Can you, can you?"

Poppycloud: "Yes, Mottlepaw, I can hear something."

^{Code of the Clans}

Mottlepaw: "Why does Rowanstar make us come this way when he knows ThunderClan doesn’t like it?"

Poppycloud: "I think he likes to know if anything happens in our territory. If we just stuck to the best hunting areas, we’d never visit some places."

^{Code of the Clans}

"[Mottlepaw] was a quick learner and would one day make a warrior to be proud of."
