Dapplefur

Dapplefur is a dappled tabby she-cat with green eyes.

In Tigerstar's Redemption

 * Dapplefur births Tigerkit in the nursery. She rasps her tongue over his fur to warm him up, and scoots him closer to her belly.


 * Tigerkit recalls what Dapplefur told him of his father, Oakstripe, and how he had been one of the strongest cats in the forest. It is noted that he was killed in a battle with ShadowClan.


 * When Foxkit wants to explore the camp with Tigerkit, the kit glances at his sleeping mother, telling the ginger kit that he couldn't go anywhere without her. Foxkit says that she's only worried because he's her only kit, but Tigerkit denies her request, lying next to his mother. After Foxkit and Lionkit leave to go explore the camp, Dapplefur awakens. Tigerkit asks her if he can go with Lionkit and Foxkit to explore the camp, but Dapplefur ignores him and orders her kit to drink her milk, saying he was looking thin. After Tigerkit finished his meal, she pulled him closer to her belly, where he fell asleep.


 * Dapplefur awakens after Tigerkit sighs, asking him what's wrong. He replies that Foxkit would be gone soon, and that he hadn't gotten to play with her because of her. Unfazed, Dapplefur replies that she remembers what he had asked her, and that she didn't want him playing with the other kits without her, as it was too dangerous. Tigerkit mumbles what Foxkit had said earlier, and wishes that he wasn't an only kit. Dapplefur mentions that he may be right, and that usually most litters had a few that died. She then asks Tigerkit if he wants to go right now, but he denies her. She asks why he doesn't want to, to which he ignores her and pads to the entrance of the nursery, gazing outside longingly. She soon falls asleep. Dapplefur awakens quickly to find that Tigerkit was gone. She calls out to him frantically and spots him in camp with Foxkit and Lionkit, scolding him for being out of the nursery alone. She forces him back to the nursery after Foxkit and Lionkit retreat to another part of the camp.

Father

 * While talking about family, Oakstripe mentions that he was waiting for Tigerstripe's mother to join them, and Tigerstripe mentions that Dapplefur was an elder now. Oakstripe begins telling his son how he had met Dapplefur, saying that she wasn't too pleased when Oakstripe had missed a squirrel and landed right on top of her. Tigerstripe remarks that it was odd to even think of his mother clawing anyone's fur off.


 * She had been quite a fighter before becoming a warrior, and Oakstripe says that he went about trying to show off to Tigerstripe's mother the wrong way, ultimately embarrassing himself every time he tried. She slowly started becoming impressed when Oakstripe began making up stories of how he'd done this or that, but messed up when he had said something completely unimaginable. Oakstripe had started picking fights with the other apprentices, but Dapplefur had only saw him as a bully.


 * Oakstripe had been at his wits end with trying to impress the she-cat. He asked his father what he should do, and he'd told him to be gentle with her. He'd ask her to eat prey with him, and even was her crying shoulder when the tom she'd been mooning over rejected her offer, and they eventually became friends. He mentions if they hadn't become friends, Tigerstripe would never have been born.
