PERSONALITY

HISTORY

INTO THE WILD
Listed as ThunderClan apprentice: Ravenpaw
Ravenpaw is the abused apprentice of Tigerclaw who had the misfortune of witnessing Redtail's murder. Tigerclaw fearing that Ravenpaw will reveal his secret, plots to kill him [ITW18]. Fortunately, Ravenpaw is saved by his friends Graypaw and Firepaw, who send him off to live with the friendly loner Barley [ITW21].

GENERAL
Ravenpaw is the only witness to the murder of Redtail, which causes him great misfortune in the first few books. Constantly fearful of his mentor, the sinister Tigerclaw, Ravenpaw is endlessly bullied and placed in harms way, and only confides his secret testimony to Firepaw and Graypaw. When Tigerclaw places the idea in the Clan that Ravenpaw is a traitor, his time is up, and Firepaw and Graypaw help him to make a harrowing escape to the barn on the edge of WindClan territory, where he is welcomed by the friendly loner Barley. Though he returns to help the Clan in The Darkest Hour Ravenpaw reclines an invitation back and stays with Barely at the barn. Every time he is seen later in the series he is sleek and contented.
