Slateclaw

Slateclaw was born as Slate to a wandering loner cat. He stumbled across DawnClan not long after its conception, and was invited by Harestar to join. He was given the warrior name Slateclaw.

Not used to being around other cats, Slateclaw was aggressive and territorial, and resented the rules of clan life. He eventually took on a forbidden mate in Specklepelt, while she was still DawnClan's medicine cat. She gave birth to his 3 kits: Roseflower, Ashthorn, and Dusty, but gave her kits away to Cherryfall, much to Slateclaw's annoyance.

As a warrior, Slateclaw became brutal, fiercely protecting his clan's borders. This aggression came to a head when he killed a MapleClan apprentice, Tigerpaw, during a skirmish at the border. Tigerpaw's father, Ashcloud, never forgave Slateclaw, and eventually took revenge on Slateclaw, killing him during another border skirmish.
