Background
Barkfur was born in Leafclan to Brambleheart and Sunstripe. When he was a kit he and his sister, Frostkit [later Frostfire] were exploring behind the nursery when they found a deathberry bush. The two kits didn't know how deadly the berries were and Barkfur ate some, later that day Barkfur got sick but was saved by Honeywhisker who managed to get the berries out of his system. When Barkfur was an apprentice he met a Cloudclan apprentice named Swallowpaw [later Swallowflight] at a gathering, the two cats continued to meet in secret even when they were warriors until Barkfur's sister, Northclaw, discovered that the two cats were meeting with each other and told Barkfur that if he didn't stop meeting with Swallowflight she would tell Shrewstar.

Sadly Barkfur stopped meeting with Swallowflight, unknown to him she was pregnant with his kits. Moons later Barkfur discovered that Ivypaw [later Ivytalon] and Barkpaw [later Barkpelt] were his when he saw them at a gathering and noticed how similar to him they looked. When he asked Swallowflight about it she told him the truth, that Ivytalon and Barkpelt were his. Barkfur was shocked but he and Swallowflight agreed to never tell Ivytalon and Barkpelt the truth.

Barkfur kept the secret for many moons until one day he and his clanmates were fighting a Cloudclan patrol and he was face to face with his kits. Barkfur couldn't bring himself to hurt them and when Ivytalon and Barkpelt asked him why he wouldn't fight back Barkfur told them the truth. After that Barkpelt and Ivytalon hates Barkfur and Swallowflight for lying to them, Barkfur couldn't blame them. A moon later the ground started to shake and put a split through Cloudclan territory, when Swallowflight told Barkfur that Ivytalon and Barkpelt were missing they went out to find them.

Barkfur and Swallowflight found their kits stranded out on an unstable rock that was about to fall. Barkfur jumped onto the rock and managed to get Ivytalon and Barkpelt off. After that Barkpelt and Ivytalon realized how much their mother and father cared about them and forgave them for lying. Many moons later Barkfur was hunting in the woods at night when Mousefoot came and attacked him.

Barkfur tried his best to fight off the gray tabby warrior but Mousefoot eventually got the upper hand and slit Barkfur's throat and killed him.
