Beetlewhisker

"“She and Beetlewhisker picked on you. The flea-brained she-cat tried to attack you. If she wasn’t a queen, I’d have torn her apart myself.” - Featherstar to Brooklight about Beetlewhisker and Palewillow having picked on him in The Last Kit"Beetlewhisker is a large, skinny, scraggly, thickly-furred, ragged, battle-scarred, hoarse, tattered, muddied, lean dusty gray tabby tom with dark, distinctive tabby stripes striking through his long, matted fur, flecked with gray and silver; he has a graying muzzle, crooked whiskers, and snaggly, sharp, yellow-stained teeth; he has pale, faded, sharp honey-yellow eyes.

Though Beetlewhisker never has a mate or any kits mentioned in the books, it is plausible that he may, in fact, be the father of Beeflight. Though this has yet to be decided. It is hinted that he has affection towards Palewillow, despite her already having a mate, since the two of them pick on Brooklight together.

He goes with other senior StreamClan warriors to Chestnutheart's "perfect clan". He is currently an elder in PineClan.

The Last Kit
Beetlewhisker is first seen when Lionstar assigns him to mentor Blackpaw. When Blackpaw turns to look at him, he gives a gentle smile and a gentle nod of the head.

Beetlewhisker is later seen again when Brooklight strolls by, but halts at hearing Beetlewhisker hissing that Brooklight had decided to show his mangy pelt again. When Brooklight asks daringly what he had just said about him, Beetlewhisker yowls that he wasn't intimidating, going as far as to insult him by calling him "tiny". Palewillow jumps in as well, insulting Brooklight alongside him, much to Brooklight's obvious fury and embarrassment.

When Brooklight growls that he'll tear a cat apart, clanmate or not, and Palewillow rises up to his challenge, Beetlewhisker sneers that 'Wimpy' was actually going to fight. Beetlewhisker is referencing Brooklight's refusal to fight Reedstar in the previous invasion of StoneClan on their camp, which seems to have greatly angered Beetlewhisker to the point of outright insulting him. This hints that Beetlewhisker is very battle hungry.

He is later briefly mentioned again by Featherstar when she mentions that he and Palewillow were picking on Brooklight.

The Dark Hope
Beetlewhisker is first seen when Brooklight assigns him to Chestnutheart's sunhigh border patrol, alongside Blackrose, Spiritwing and Emberhawk.

When Chestnutheart is rallying cats to take to his clan, and Owlfoot refuses to go with Spiritwing, Beetlewhisker snaps that all of the younger cats are flea-brained, claiming that Chestnutheart's proposal was the perfect opportunity. He then growls that the young cats are all blind and dumbfounded because of their youth, defiantly claiming that he would go with Chestnutheart to their "perfect home". He stands defiantly beside Chestnutheart, before leaving the camp with the rest of the gathered cats.
