SPOILERS: The Broken Code spoilers. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK OF SPOILERS!!!

Hello, it’s Maplepaw again, and today I’d like to talk about the theory of Snowkit (from TPB) being Snowtuft (from TBC).

Yes, Snowkit could be Snowtuft.

Even though I do not believe that Snowkit could be Snowtuft, there is evidence showing that he could.

First, all disabilities are healed in the Warriors afterlife, meaning that if Snowkit was Snowtuft, he would be able to hear in the Dark Forest even though he couldn’t before his death. It would be like how Brokentail could see again in the Dark Forest and Briarlight could use her hind legs in StarClan.

In Forestpaw’s article in 2018, they also say that Snowkit and Snowtuft both had the same fursona, and they also state that Snowkit was never seen or mentioned in StarClan, meaning that he could be in the Dark Forest as Snowtuft. So, Snowkit and Snowtuft had the same fursona? This could show that they were the same cat and that this theory is true. And if he was never mentioned in StarClan, surely he could have only been in the Dark Forest . . . as Snowtuft.

Well, I’m going to explain how I disagree.

No, Snowkit can’t be Snowtuft.
Let me explain . . .
So you know how disabilities are healed in StarClan? Well, they aren’t healed during the cat’s life. Like Brackenfur and Fireheart explained in The Prophecies Begin, it would be very hard for Snowkit to learn commands and become a warrior. This is shown when a hawk is nearing the camp, and Snowkit doesn’t understand the signals his mother was trying to use to bring him to safety. Sadly, it ends with the kit being taken by the hawk. So how did he become such a blood-thirsty ShadowClan warrior that went to battle if he couldn’t even understand simple motions? It would be very hard to train him to be a warrior. This shows that Snowkit was probably killed by the hawk, and wasn’t Snowtuft after all.

But there is much more evidence I’d like to share before I conclude. Also, if Snowkit did become the ShadowClan warrior Snowtuft, surely there would have to be a Snowpaw or a Snowtuft on the allegiances? But there wasn’t, meaning that Snowtuft was probably just a character made up for the plot of A Broken Code. The Erins probably just needed a Dark Forest cat to help their protagonists, and that cat was Snowtuft. To add onto that, when Shadowsight meets Snowtuft in the Dark Forest, Snowtuft explains that he was a supporter of Tigerclaw/star and did murder some cats, probably leading him to being in the Dark Forest. Besides that, there wasn’t much history behind him, meaning that he was just some character written for the plot of the series.

Okay, back to Forestpaw’s article. Now, like I said before, they said Snowkit and Snowtuft looked the same. Had the same fur color, prefix in their names, and they both had blue eyes. But what if I told you that I did a little research, and I found another reason why Snowkit can’t be Snowtuft. Well, I searched it up, and found that Snowtuft doe not have a defined eye color, meaning that his eye color might not have been blue, another reason that he and Snowkit are not the same cat.

Another reason! What if Snowkit went to the Dark Forest and became Snowtuft during his afterlife? Well, that wouldn’t be possible. Kits do not grow older in StarClan. I have some evidance for this, too. When Jayfeather was having a talk in StarClan, he said that he was younger than everyone there, but then Mosskit appears and makes Jayfeather correct himself. So . . . Mosskit is still a kit, even though she had been in StarClan for a while. So if Snowkit died and went to the Dark Forest, he would still be known as Snowkit, not Snowtuft.

Let’s see what the Wiki/Google thinks about it:

Now the last reason. I searched it up, and the warriors wiki says: “Although he was not seen in StarClan, the Warriors Wiki confirms that Snowkit is in fact a StarClan cat.”

So, in my conclusion, I do not believe that Snowkit is Snowtuft, and that he is living happily in StarClan.

I hope you liked this, and I’d like to know any more evidence for either side that you know! Maplepaw out!
