Ravenpaw

Ravenpaw is a black tom with a white dash on his chest and a long, thin tail with a white tip. He has green eyes and a sleek, small build. Originally a nervous and shy ThunderClan apprentice, he was mentored by the cruel and ambitious Tigerclaw. His life changed forever when he witnessed Tigerclaw murder the Clan deputy, Redtail, and then lie to the Clan about how it happened. Fearing for Ravenpaw’s silence, Tigerclaw began to threaten him, eventually planning to kill his own apprentice. To save him, his friends Firepaw and Graypaw helped him stage his death and flee the forest. He found refuge at a barn near WindClan territory, where he lived the rest of his life as a loner alongside another cat named Barley. Barley eventually became his mate, providing the safety and companionship Ravenpaw never had in ThunderClan. Despite living away from the forest, he remained a loyal ally to his former Clan, helping them through several crises, including the battle against BloodClan and guiding the Clans on the Great Journey. He eventually died from a stomach tumor (likely cancer) in the novella Ravenpaw's Farewell. After his death, StarClan offered him his warrior name, Ravenwing, but he declined it, preferring to be known simply as Ravenpaw. He chose to wait for Barley on the outskirts of StarClan rather than joining the warrior ancestors immediately.
