History[]

In the Super Edition Series[]

Firestar's Quest[]

In the book, Bramblepaw has his warrior assessment. He decides that he will prove himself by tracking his mentor, Firestar. He jumps out of some bushes and attacks Firestar. He is impressed with Bramblepaw, and tells him that his warrior ceremony will happen in the morning.

Bramblepaw is made a warrior and given the name Brambleclaw. Firestar praises his loyalty and courage. Brambleclaw is popular within the Clan and many cats are happy he has received his warrior name. While he is sitting his vigil, Firestar asks him if he is ok. Brambleclaw nods, as he does not want to break his vow of silence.

At the gathering, he meets his sister Tawnypelt, who has also recently been given her warrior name. Firstar announces that Brambleclaw has been made a warrior. When all the cats cheer, he dips his head with embarrassment. Blackstar also announces Tawnypelt having been made a warrior.

Forest of Secrets[]

Bramblekit and his sister, Tawnykit, are born to Goldenflower and Tigerclaw. He looks exactly the same as his father and bears no resemblance to Goldenflower, he has the same dark tabby pelt, the exact shade of amber eyes, broad shoulders, and head. Fireheart does not trust him because of this, and is even a bit afraid of the kit, thinking he'll grow up to be the same murderous, ambitious, bloodthirsty cat like his father is. His mother, Goldenflower, also nurses Graystripe and Silverstream's kits, Featherkit and Stormkit, after their mother's death until they move to RiverClan.

The Darkest Hour []

Firestar's apprentice is Bramblepaw. He loses his sister, Tawnypaw, after they clean out the elders' bedding and Smallear insults her. Then Firestar and Graystripe head to RiverClan territory to check on Graystripe's kits. When they come back, Tawnypaw is gone. Goldenflower blames Firestar, but Bramblepaw does not.

When Tigerstar leads RiverClan and ShadowClan (called TigerClan) to Fourtrees to confront Firestar and Tallstar, Bramblepaw sees Tawnypaw there and calls her name. Tigerstar invites Bramblepaw to join him as she did, but Brambleclaw says, "Join you? After everything you've done? I'd rather die!" (page 224).

Later, Firestar takes Bramblepaw with him to RiverClan, to ask them for help defeating BloodClan. Bramblepaw speaks to Tawnypaw, who is there with the other ShadowClan warriors, and asks Firestar if she could come back. Tawnypaw says she's fine where she is and that all she wants is to be loyal to her new clan.

Bramblepaw and several other apprentices, including Tawnypaw, kill the BloodClan deputy, Bone, when the four clans are fighting Scourge and his cats. At the end of the battle, when Scourge is dead, Bramblepaw says goodbye to his sister.
