Finchtail was assigned Wasppaw as an apprentice since Thistlestar was hoping the energetic warrior wouldn’t be worn out by the reckless high-speed apprentice. They were a great team, Finchtail taught her how to channel her boundless energy and occasional short-fuse into service to her Clan, and in teaching Wasppaw Finchtail himself learned to think things through more critically and practice patience and forethought.

Flaxtail is the mother of both Sagehare and Finchtail (the latter of which was named after her). Sagehare and Finchtail get their freckles from her. Sagehare also got her mother’s downward facing cheek fluff, while Finchtail got her ear tips.
