A former kittypet, Foxtrot was actually born with his full name. He and his two brothers, Whiskey and Tango, were seperated when the three of them were about seven moons old. When Foxtrot was seventeen moons, he found his way to the Riverclan border. The idea of a clan appealed to him, so he kept hanging around the border until, finally, Lightningstar allowed him entry into the clan.

Since joining, Foxtrot has never really understood interclan rivalries, thinking the clans would get along a lot better if they just put aside their differences, but due to his past no 'clan-blooded' warrior is inclined to listen to him on that matter.
