Rainflame

Rainflame is a dark grey tabby she-cat with a white underbelly, and flame-like white markings down her side.

Rainkit was born to Willowsight and Grayshadow. Hawkpaw notes that the markings down her side resemble white fire. Rainkit and the other nursery kits, Whitekit, Petalkit, and Wolfkit ask Hawkpaw and the other apprentices to train them for battle.

Rainkit notices a gash on Mintpaw's side immediately tells Aspenflower about it. Larkpaw wails, as she asks if Mintpaw will be alright. Rainkit touches her tail to Larkpaw's leg and reassures her that Mintpaw will be fine.

Rainkit stays in the medicine den to help Aspenflower care for Mintpaw. Hawkpaw thinks that Rainkit will make a great medicine cat one day.

Rainpaw is later apprenticed to Aspenflower, and she cheers her denmates on when they are apprenticed.

Hawkfoot runs into Rainpaw while he is searching for his new apprentice, Wolfpaw. However, Rainpaw tells him that she has not seen the young tom recently. Rainpaw helps Hawkfoot search for Wolfpaw. They follow his scent trail, mixed with Whitepaw's. They find the two apprentices in the middle of a Thunderpath, not moving.

Hawkfoot later checks on Wolfpaw and Whitepaw, and sees Rainpaw and Aspenflower treating them. Aspenflower comments that Rainpaw is learning fast, and will make a great medicine cat when she dies.

Later in the day, Rainpaw tells Hawkfoot that his apprentice, Wolfpaw will live, but Whitepaw was dying. Rainpaw helps the elders to bury Whitepaw, then she retreats sadly into the medicine den.

When Wolfscar and Petalstorm get their warrior names, Rainpaw, now Rainflame cheers the loudest for them.

After Hawkfoot is made deputy, Rainflame sadly tells him that Aspenflower is getting old and sick, and will probably not live for much longer. Hawkfoot watches the young medicine cat desperately care for her sick mentor.
