Ravenpaw is a sleek-furred black tom with white on his chest and tail and green eyes.

Ravenpaw was a loner who lived on Barley's farm with Barley, formerly an apprentice of ThunderClan under Bluestar's leadership in the forest territories. He was born to Robinwing and Fuzzypelt alongside his brother, Dustpelt. As an apprentice, Ravenpaw was mentored by Tigerclaw and witnessed him murder Redtail, with Tigerclaw threatening to keep him quiet. When Firepaw joined ThunderClan, the two apprentices became close alongside Graypaw. Fearing that Ravenpaw would be killed, Graypaw and Firepaw took him to live in a barn with Barley to protect him from Tigerclaw, with Ravenpaw eventually growing close to the loner, and they helped each other overcome their pasts. When BloodClan came to the forest, Ravenpaw and Barley assisted Firestar in defeating Scourge.
