Snowkit was a deaf ThunderClan kit during Bluestar's leadership in the forest territories. He was born as Snowkit to Speckletail and Smallear alongside his sister, Mistlekit. He displayed odd behaviors, who Brackenfur first noticed, which was later identified as deafness. However, Speckletail was fiercely protective of Snowkit and believed he could still become a warrior. Snowkit was playing outside the nursery when a hawk swooped into camp. Snowkit, unable to hear the hawk or the warning cries of his Clanmates, was snatched up in the hawk's talons and carried away. He ascended to StarClan afterwards, being able to hear.
