Raggedpelt was the exiled Shadowclan medicine cat discovered on an early solo patrol by Sandpaw, who would one day become Sandstar. His act of kindness in giving her a piece of fresh-kill was punished by Oakstar because he had also eaten some himself, breaking the warrior code by not bringing it back to the prey pile. As a result, Sandpaw was ordered to feed and care for Raggedpelt in her first moons in the Clan, where she was viewed with suspicion because of Thunderclan's long rivalry with bloodthirsty Shadowclan. In spite of Raggedpelt's simmering anger at being treated like a prisoner, she formed a strong bond with the young kittypet-turned-warrior, a connection that lasted beyond her death.

Raggedpelt was a cranky, stubborn, impatient - and the most loyal cat you could ever meet. Her whole life was a quest for loyalty - to Shadowclan, to her role as their medicine cat, to the daughter that she bore in secret, and then to Thunderclan after her exile. Raggedpelt's biggest mistake was her love for Yellowstar, leader of Shadowclan, despite knowing that medicine cats are forbidden from having mates or kits. When Raggedpelt's bitter, neglected daughter, Brokenstar, became Shadowclan's leader and made the forest run red with the blood of kits too young to fight, Raggedpelt's loyalty to what she knew to be right led to Brokenstar exiling her and forcing her across the border to Thunderclan.

She blamed herself wholly for Brokenstar's brutality, and when she was finally defeated during a raid on the Thunderclan camp, she persuaded Oakstar to let her stay there, blind and captive. Just a few moons later, Raggedpelt discovered that Brokenstar had plotted with Goldenflower and some rogues against the Clan that had given her food and shelter. Wracked with guilt, Raggedpelt fed deathberries to her own daughter: It was the only solution she could find for a problem she believed she had caused. Her loyalty to Thunderclan was proven beyond all doubt when she died saving her adopted Clanmates from a fire that swept through their camp. Sandstorm grieved as if he had lost his own mother.
