There is never a day Fallingleaf of ShadowClan forgets the moment he was given his warrior name. Since then, he has taken pride in his name, and in his Clan. Now, as deputy under the leadership of Brackenstar, he becomes mates with Feathertuft and has a son, Hawkkit. However, his loyalty and pride is separated between his kin and his Clan. Even after Hawkpaw has one of his greatest achievements, Fallingleaf is fed up with deputy duties and almost forgets about his son entirely.
