Hag

Hag is a short-furred, gray she cat with golden-yellow eyes that have a green color around the pupil, and no teeth.

Chapter 9

 * Snowpaw is wandering the forest, happy, until he sees Hag's reflection in the water. She is unnamed, and Snowpaw thinks she might make a good elder for the new Clan. He communicates with her and she calls him a "deaf abomination" before telling him to fetch food for her. He returns with a mouse, only for her to say it isn't fresh and that he needs to chew it up for her. Noting her rude and disgusting personality, Snowpaw regrets the idea of making her an elder but decides not to leave her to starve. He takes her to the new Clan, much to their displeasure, and notes that her curse seems to be saying the wrong thing to the wrong cat. Hag is given a den, but immediately complains about the moss being old.


 * Snowpaw mentions her again when trying to convince Gleam to let the apprentices sleep in their own den.


 * When it becomes obvious that the Clan doesn't like Hag, that Hag had no actual disease and was coughing because of old age, and that Hag has no wisdom for the Clan, Snowpaw thinks it was bad idea to let her in. He also is uneasy that she is watching the Clan so closely. Snowpaw takes care of her for a day, and realizes he hates her. Later that day, Hag accidentally mentions Twist, who lives in the Pride. He decides to watch her that night. She leaves the camp at night and disappears into the forest, prompting Snowpaw and Frostpaw to follow. They follow Hag to the Pride and hide outside of the camp to listen in on what she says, and she tells Fear all about how Snowpaw is turning the group of cats into a Clan.
