** In ''Into the Wild'', Dawncloud is an older [=ShadowClan=] queen who helps rebel against Brokenstar, and is an old friend of Yellowfang, and has lost two of her kits due to Brokenstar's actions against [=WindClan=]. In this book, she's still an apprentice named Dawnpaw when Yellowfang is exiled, too young to have kits (especially due to being apprenticed early), and doesn't side with Yellowfang when she is accused of murdering Brightflower's kits.

* Hypocrite: After Foxheart's death, Raggedstar makes Cloudpelt the new deputy, despite Brokentail's anger.

While the latter is true, Cloudpelt was Raggedstar's own apprentice, and he also promises Brokentail, despite the above points, that if anything happens to Cloudpelt he'd be deputy next.
