Shine

Shine is a small, fluffy light golden tabby she-cat with amber eyes.
Shine was a ClawClan warrior under Claw's leadership in the forest territories. She was born as Shinekit to Claw and Lakefrost, with Treefur posing as the father. She was born alongside her siblings, Sparklekit, Silverkit and Goldenkit. She initially lived in ThunderClan, however, was taken by Lakefrost to ClawClan, as she believed it was much safer for them. Thereafter, Shinekit was raised by Blackflower and Claw. As Shinepaw, she was trained by Scar alongside her siblings, Sparklepaw and Silverpaw before he switched to train with Claw instead. As Shine, she was trapped in a fire started by Viper, where he revealed the secret that Lakefrost was her mother. 
She was furious with Claw, for how he had lied that their biological mother was dead. She took it the worst out of her siblings, leaving to ThunderClan where she demanded answers. Lakefrost admitted to her Clan it was true and Treefur attempted to calm Shine, but she simply hissed at him and fled. Lakefrost ran after her in an attempt to calm her, but Shine had attacked her before being pinned by Claw. Heartbroken and destroyed, she self-exiled herself in the tunnels before it collapsed on her. After being believed to be dead, she returned to her Clan and fought Savage, saving Lakefrost from him. However, she was blinded and slain. As she died, she finally forgave Lakefrost and Claw, ascending to StarClan after.

===In the Super Editions ===
====Claw's Enemy====
:Shinekit is born to Lakefrost alongside her siblings, Goldenkit, Silverkit and Sparklekit. She is named for her contrast to her sister and Treefur is presumed her father. Although, Smallcloud is suspicious of this claim, Leafstep reassures her not to question it. Shinekit is happy in ThunderClan, but Lakefrost takes her kits out in the snow to give to Claw, as she believes it is too dangerous for them to remain in ThunderClan with Savage posing a threat. However, Goldenkit is slaughtered by the BloodClan leader and Lakefrost mourns him deeply. Shinekit is confused, but stays silent as she watches her mother's wail. Shinekit is left with her father and trembles after her mother, who doesn't turn back.
:That night, Lakefrost returns without her kits and exclaims to her clanmates that a fox had killed them, as they snuck out during the night. Shinekit is raised by Blackflower in ClawClan's new built nursery, and the Clan isn't used to the first arrival of kits to the rogue camp. However, Blackflower is deeply happy to have some company and takes good care of them when Claw doesn't find the time. Shinekit is the most mature and serious out of her siblings, taking after her father's attitudes. When Silverkit sneaks out, Claw is woken up and alarmed by Sparklekit and Shinekit.
===In the A Vision of Stars arc ===
:Shinepaw is apprenticed to her aunt, Scar alongside her siblings, Sparklepaw and Silverpaw. However, due to Silverpaw's blindness, he is apprenticed to Claw instead. Shinepaw is often very sympathetic with him and closer to him than Sparklepaw is. After a sudden encounter with Savage, Claw warns the apprentices that he has been hunting them down for a while, and is a dangerous cat to remain around. Sparklepaw is curious, and Claw reveals that Savage is the reason her brother's dead. Shinepaw is surprised by this, and realises that Savage is truly a dangerous threat. Scar reassures them that Savage won't hurt them while they're in ClawClan, and Shinepaw notices Sparklepaw snuck out. She goes to check and confronts her, but Sparklepaw begs her not to tell Claw. She eventually agrees and they both go to sleep.
:Shinepaw becomes a warrior alongside Silverpaw and Sparklepaw, receiving her true name as Shine. During a battle, her and her siblings attack Lakefrost- unknowing of their true parentage. However, she refuses to fight back which startles them and Smallcloud fends them off, although recognising something oddly familiar about the three cats. Curious, Shine asks about Lakefrost and why she didn't fight back and Claw simply shrugs, stating that most ThunderClan warriors are seen as cowardly, even their own deputy. After a fire starts new ClawClan's camp by Viper, Claw, Sparkle, Shine and Silver are trapped. However, Viper blocks the way out and threatens to kill Claw as revenge for Savage. Claw accuses Savage of being a coward for this, knowing that Viper doesn't just want to hurt him, as Savage would be more satisfied with murdering Claw himself. Viper admits this is true, stating that he wants to ruin his kit's lives too. Shine is betrayed by this and is ready to leap through the flames, before Viper reveals that their mother is in fact, alive and a ThunderClan warrior. 
:Shine instantly reflects on the deputy she attacked and asks Viper what her name is, but Claw answers instead, responding with their mother's name being Lakefrost. Shine resents Claw for having lied and lashes out, feeling as if her entire world had been shattered. She races to ThunderClan where she confronts Lakefrost, but Treefur tries to take blame too, attempting to calm the molly before she hisses at him, sprinting off as she declares he wasn't her real father. Lakefrost follows her, but is pinned down by the lake and attacked by her daughter before Claw enters the scene, pinning Shine as she struggles. Admitting her defeat, Shine flees into the tunnels in shame and self-exile, but the tunnel collapses. She is declared dead by her family, and Lakefrost and Claw grieve deeply- as well as Sparkle and Silver. Due to this, the two siblings refuse to speak with their parents for a while.
:Shine helps Leafstep and Patchstar out of the tunnels, revealing her true identity. She reunites with her siblings and is persuaded by Silver to rejoin ClawClan, while Lakefrost and Claw are overjoyed that she's alive, her siblings feel hurt that they've been led to believe she was dead for so long. Many ClawClan warriors doubted her loyalty, and she attempts to visit Treefur in an attempt to apologise and make amends, although still bitter with her true parents. However, when Savage leads Lakefrost into a trap and attempts to kill her, Shine had previously spied on BloodClan's camp and was aware of this due to Roseheart, threatening Savage to back off. After he refuses, Shine attacks him and Roseheart alarms the rest of ClawClan. As Claw races onto the scene, Shine is blinded by Savage and brutally murdered as Lakefrost screams out her name. Shine panics before her death, exclaiming she can't see before Lakefrost attempts to calm her down, stating she's sorry. Shine forgives her parents, ascending to StarClan.
