==History==
===In the Changing Skies arc===
====The Elders' Quest====
:Shinekit and Goldenkit are ThunderClan kits born to Sunbeam and Nightheart.
:She and her brother are made apprentices, earning their new names of Shinepaw and Goldenpaw respectively. Shinepaw is given Flipclaw as her mentor as her parents watch on with enormous pride. As the Clan disperses from the ceremony, the black she-cat heads out of camp with her brother and their mentors. The she-cat excitedly bounds up to Moonkit as the younger cat prepares for her own apprentice ceremony not too long after her own.
:At a Gathering, Squirrelstar announces Shinepaw, Goldenpaw, and Moonpaw as new apprentices of ThunderClan. Shinepaw sits proudly with her brother as cats of all Clans congratulate them. The morning after, the she-cat sits with her brother as they talk about the news from the Gathering. Shinepaw mentions the interesting news from SkyClan that they were told by Starlingpaw, an apprentice from the neighboring Clan. She then points out that Moonpaw had been too shy to talk to the other cats. Goldenpaw steps in to help ease their friend's anxiety about talking with the other cats, and Shinepaw chimes in that they will get to attend the Gathering nearly every full moon. She quickly adds to the other apprentice that she should make an effort to be friendly to the other cats at the Gathering. With that, Shinepaw and her brother leave the apprentices' den and head to talk with their mentors near the fresh-kill pile.
:Shinepaw is awoken by screeching outside of the camp. She sits outside the apprentices' den with her brother as Moonpaw asks what is happening. The black she-cat wonders if it is a badger, however, Cherryfall and Lionblaze soon enter camp. The warrior she-cat leans heavily on her Clanmate as her shoulder bleeds heavily. The three apprentices race across camp to find out what had happened to the she-cat.
:After Moonpaw's first visit to the Moonpool, Shinepaw asks her about the experience, wanting to know if she had met any StarClan cats. She gives her brother a friendly nudge when he says he wishes he could travel to the Moonpool. Their friend explains that warriors sometimes escort medicine cats to the sacred space and that from the lip of the hollow they can see the pool itself. The siblings are excited at the prospect of venturing there, however, before the conversation goes further Finleap and Flipclaw call for their apprentices to stop gossiping and leave for hunting practice.
:Later on, Shinepaw stares at Moonpaw when she joins their training session. She asks what the tortoiseshell was doing with them, and Moonpaw explains that she had decided to be a warrior apprentice again. The black cat is happy to have her back training with them after the explanation. The three apprentices are tasked with seeing how much prey they can catch for ThunderClan. Shinepaw offers Moonpaw helpful tips to ease her anxiety and as does her brother. The cats split up and later regroup, and Shinepaw sees Sunbeam and Moonpaw with a large rabbit. She questions if Sunbeam had caught the prey. Sunbeam explains that it was Moonpaw's catch and the other members of the patrol congratulate her. Shinepaw shares more congratulations with Moonpaw when she manages to catch a squirrel. Moonpaw however says that they all caught the squirrel using teamwork. Later on, in the warriors' den, Shinepaw and her brother find Moonpaw clearing out the old bedding. She greets her friend and mentions that she should relax as she's earned it due to her earlier catch. Moonpaw shakes her head and briefly explains she is happy to finish her task. Shinepaw does not push and she and her brother leave their friend to her task.
