Flamepool

Flamepool is a main character in the book. She is the point-of-view in half the chapters, the others going to her sister, Snowdawn. She is an orange tabby she-cat with green eyes. Flamepool is the "flickering flame" mentioned in the prophecy.

Birth and Family
Flamepool and her sister, Snowdawn, were born towards the end of leaf-fall. Her mother was Moonstar, leader of MoonClan, and her father is Dayflight. She later takes Hawkfeather as a mate, and they have three kits named Gingerkit, Pebblekit, and Rainkit.

Kithood
Flamepool was a slightly rambunctious kit; she liked adventure. When she was only a moon old, she managed to convince her sister, Snowdawn, to go with her, Lilacslash and Sootstar out of camp.

Apprenticeship
Flamepool's mentor was Fleetwind. As her and her sister became closer, she became a little jealous when Snowdawn started to hang out with Sootstar after he was attacked. She also found out about the prophecy when she overheard Moonstar and Sparrowfeather, and found out her sister and she were part of it. She refused to tell Snowdawn because she didn't want to overwhelm her.

Warriorhood
Flamepool and Snowdawn were named warriors after finding Hawkfeather in the forest. Her and Snowdawn continue to try and figure out how they will beat Lilacslash and fulfill the prophecy. When Snowdawn goes missing, however, Flamepool falls in a secluded state, hardly speaking with anybody and becoming more bedraggled by the day, although she grows happier after Snowdawn is found alive. She survives the battle of MoonClan and goes on to have kits with her mate, Hawkfeather.
