As both of them are spirits, Haywhisker trains Steadypaw in the Dark Forest. Haywhisker was killed by a pack of dogs, after being exiled from Windclan. Steadypaw was from Thunderclan but he was killed by a hawk, and came into Starclan, but he switched sides to the Dark Forest. Steadypaw's best friend is Orangebird who is alive and sometimes visits. The other characters in the Dark Forest are Myrtleheart, (pretty white she-cat with pale patches, and a disfigured form with wounds, and a missing tail and black eyes with white pupils) Stormfang, (Grey tabby tom with icy blue eyes) Lock, (Black tom with the side of his face missing, bitten off by a dog) Pie (Ginger tabby tom with green eyes, torn ears, and a twisted jaw with three legs and a wounded corpse)

Myrtleheart is a playful she-cat on the outside, but is cruel on the inside. She used to be from Riverclan but she was slayed by dogs on the first battle, and was sent tk the Dark Forest.
