"But I guess I used to quarrel with Honeyfern and Molepaw when they were alive."
Cinderheart to Lionblaze in Fading Echoes, page 235


Molepaw is a large[2] black and gray[5] tom.[2]

Molepaw was a ThunderClan apprentice under Firestar's leadership in the lake territories. He was born as Molekit to Brackenfur and Sorreltail alongside his sisters, Cinderkit, Poppykit, and Honeykit, when badgers attacked the ThunderClan's camp. He became an apprentice as Molepaw, but died from greencough and went to StarClan.

History

In The New Prophecy arc

Twilight

Molekit, along with his siblings, Cinderkit, Poppykit, and Honeykit, are born to Sorreltail and Brackenfur of ThunderClan. Although Cinderpelt, ThunderClan's medicine cat, dies to protect them during a badger attack on their camp, Leafpool arrives at the right time and helps Sorreltail safely deliver her kits. After the badger attack, Leafpool mentions to Brackenfur that he has four healthy kits. At the mention of this, Brackenfur curls his tail in delight, and he dashes off into the nursery to see them.

Sunset

"This one is Molekit. He's the only tom."
―Sorreltail introducing her kits to Brambleclaw and Squirrelflight Sunset, page 27
Molekit is introduced as one of Sorreltail's four kits. His mother remarks that he is the only tom, and he is said to be the biggest of her litter. He, along with his littermates, are given their names in this book.

In the Power of Three arc

The Sight

While reflecting upon the harshness of the recent leaf-bare, it is mentioned that the season brought not only hunger, but death as well. Molepaw is said to have died of a cough that had not responded to Leafpool's herbs, and that Rainwhisker, one of his uncles, had been killed by a falling branch during a storm.

Eclipse

"Molekit should be here too."
―Sorreltail at Honeypaw and Poppypaw's warrior ceremony Eclipse, page 87
When his sisters, Honeypaw and Poppypaw, get ready for their warrior ceremony, Sorreltail sadly remarks that her son, Molekit, should have been there as well, receiving his warrior name.

Sunrise

"No...oh, no... I can't lose another kit! Not after Molekit! Please, StarClan..."
―Sorreltail remembering the loss of Molekit Sunrise, page 213
When Honeyfern is bitten by a snake, Sorreltail mournfully yowls that she can't lose another kit, after losing Molekit when he was so young.

In the Omen of the Stars arc

Fading Echoes

While Lionblaze and Cinderheart are talking about how Ivypaw and Dovepaw have fallen out, Cinderheart sadly reflects on the times where she used to argue with Molepaw and Honeyfern, while they were alive.

In the Novellas

Leafpool's Wish

Molekit, along with his siblings, Honeykit, Cinderkit, and Poppykit, play with each other. Sorreltail, his mother, tells Molekit and the other kits not to bother the older warriors, and Honeykit replies that she and Molekit are practicing running.
