Somewhere between A Light In The Mist and River, they caught Minnowtail meeting with Mousewhisker (either that or those two had a breakup or were harmed by the relationship and joined the no-code-changes rebels). So she plotted against Duskfur, and that’s probably when Minnowtail comes in. But I think Curlfeather wasn’t happy about this – it was her mate.

It’s mostly she-cats and I love that they’re having more she-cat antagonists), and I think there was drama in Frostpaw’s family, more than she thinks. I’ve always thought Duskfur was the murderer, but now I’m rooting for it to be someone not so clear. ![]() In my opinion, Splashtail is a red herring.Īs much as he’s clearly evil, he’s not the main plotter or murderer. ![]() ![]() The second slide provides the correct responses with textual support.
