Cricketthroat was brought into the clan at 8 moons of age, found strangled by his own small collar, and was allowed to stay by Tuistar. He was trained by the young warrior Tawnyfeather, who's foster kit Kowhaipaw is now his own apprentice. Cricketthroat has few friends in the clan, due to a combination of introvertedness and the clans distrust of his heritage; although once close with Lichenflower the two drifted apart over time. This isn't helped by Cricketthroat's perceived laziness either. He hopes that Kowhaipaw will be more accepted than him, although her lack of natural ability concerns him.

Cricketthroat was found at the age of 9 moons, struggling to remove his collar on DuskClan territory. He was taken into the clan, when Tuistar vouched for him. Apprenticed to young warrior Tawnyfeather, Cricketpaw showed surprising skill in hunting and fighting despite his kitty pet background eventually becoming a warrior at the age of 16 moons. Although it is claimed that Cricketthroat was named for his dark tortoiseshell markings on his chest and throat, it’s suspected that his name is a mockery of his raspy voice; a leftover of wearing his kit hood collar long after it had been outgrown. He struggles with acceptance in the clan; although he initially found friendship with fellow apprentice Lichenpaw, this stagnated with age. Cricketthroat’s weaknesses, such as occasional lazy tendencies, misunderstood sarcasm and lack of any friends outside of his previous mentor and Tawnyfeather, along with her apprentice aged kits, create suspicions that Cricketthoat can never be fully loyal to DuskClan. Cricketthroat is now mentor to Lichenflower’s half-kittypet half-sister, Kowhaipaw and admires her strength of will, but has some concerns at her difficulties with hunting and fighting.
