Nightfall

Nightfall is a jet-black, lanky, slender black demifemale with medium green eyes and a long tail.

"I’ll take the position of deputy, but only if I can share it with Shadyleaf. We have walked so far together. We cannot stop now." - Nightfall, Eye for an Eye

Nightfall was born to Dewhop and Hollyfoot as Nightkit. She was raised by Heatherfur rather than Hollyfoot. As an apprentice, she spent a lot of time around Shadypaw. She also spent time in Twolegplace with Copper. Nightpaw and Shadypaw were always being challenged by Bearpaw. After becoming a warrior, Nightfall became pregnant with Copper's kits. Being demifemale, she couldn't stand the thought of being pregnant and she consumed deathberry flesh in order to terminate the pregnancy. She took in Scatterflight's kits and RiverClan and Copper believed they were Nightfall's. After Pearkit perishes, Nightfall is tormented by nightmares of the small she-cat until Screechfoot tells her of The Prophecy. Her nightmares ease. Later, Bearfur informs Nightfall that he believed they had been friends. A battle occurs where Bearfur and Buzzardpaw perish. Her remaining adopted kits keep living for a while more. Nightfall notices Mountaingaze and Mossback speaking with the deceased Prophecy Kits. When thinking about The Prophecy, Nightfall and Shadyleaf gather a meeting and discuss what to do about the remaining kits. Copper puts in that they must be killed. They devise a plan for Mountaingaze to be killed fighting Pinetail for the deputy position and to kill Mossback by luring him out of camp. Pine wins but Mountaingaze hurtles himself at Heatherfur and both cats kill each other. Newtstar selects Nightfall for deputy but she declares that she will only take the position if Shadyleaf shares the role with her.
