Sorrelshine

Sorrelshine is a gray-and-brown she-cat.
Sorrelshine was a WindClan warrior under Heatherstar's and Tallstar's leadership in the forest territories. She was born as Sorrelkit to Meadowslip and Hickorynose along with her brothers, Hopkit and Pigeonkit. She soon gained her apprentice name, Sorrelpaw, and Stagleap as her mentor. While she was out hunting, she accidentally crossed the ThunderClan border and ran into Redtail and Tigerclaw. Tigerclaw ordered Redtail to attack the young apprentice, which he reluctantly did. However, Stagleap soon arrived, and chastised the warriors for bullying an apprentice. Sorrelpaw was badly wounded, and Stagleap took her back to the WindClan camp. Tigerclaw later used this incident as an excuse to attack WindClan. She later earned her warrior name of Sorrelshine and gave birth to a litter of kits, including Whitetail, and other unnamed kits. Sorrelshine chose to stay behind and wander WindClan's former territory when Brokenstar drove her Clan out. She died after eating a poisoned rabbit, and went to StarClan, where she granted Onestar a life for loyalty.

====Tallstar's Revenge====
:Sorrelkit is born healthy, along with her two brothers, Hopkit and Pigeonkit, to Meadowslip and Hickorynose. Several cats ask about the status of Meadowslip and the amount of kits, and Palebird names each of their kits; she notes that Sorrelkit, a she-kit, is gray-and-brown. She also mentions that she considered the kits too beautiful, and that they were hungry the moment they arrived. Plumclaw hopes that Hickorynose will insist his kits to become tunnelers. When Heatherstar calls for a Clan meeting, she notes that Meadowslip's kits had brought new life to WindClan, and asks them to pray for Hopkit, Pigeonkit, and Sorrelkit to grow into strong, healthy warriors.
:She greets Tallpaw as he returns from his trip to the Moonstone, racing after her brothers. Her pelt is spiked with excitement, and she sniffs Tallpaw's fur. Glancing over at her brother, Pigeonkit, she comments that he smells funny, and she then asks what he saw while he was away. He responds that he saw the Moonstone, prompting her to ask if it was big, to which he responds. Tallpaw is too tired to continue the conversation, instead asking if they have had their first taste of mouse yet. Sorrelkit announces that she has. Tallpaw then offers to pluck off the feathers of a lapwing for them to eat, and Sorrelkit responds with excitement, asking if he would. She races off toward the prey heap with Pigeonkit, streaking ahead. Hopkit decides to follow as well, and Tallpaw carries him over to his littermates.
:Sorrelkit is at Tallpaw's warrior naming ceremony leaning over the edge as her brother asks their mother, Meadowslip, why they could not sit next to her to watch. She shoos them over to the nursery, saying they will be able to see fine from there, and Heatherstar did not need kits under her paws. She accompanies her brothers as they wait for Palebird to give birth to her litter of kits. She pushes Hopkit aside and responds to him when he asks if they're born yet, pointing out that Hawkheart is still in the nursery. Hopkit notes that they would not be the youngest anymore, and Sorrelkit declares that she could not wait to show Palebird's kits around camp. However, Meadowslip warns Sorrelkit that it would be a few days before they would be allowed out of the nursery. As Heatherstar calls for another Clan meeting, Woollytail nearly trips over Hopkit, Sorrelkit, and Pigeonkit, as they dash ahead of Meadowslip, and barge past their Clanmates.
:When he returns from his journey, Talltail watches Pigeonkit and Sorrelkit, who are already awake, chase Palebird's kits around the Hunting Stones. Talltail wonders the location of Hopkit, and he is relieved to see that he is not playing with his Clanmates.
:After the battle with ShadowClan, Talltail notes that Pigeonkit and Sorrelkit have grown too big to share a nest in the nursery. Palebird claims that Ryestalk would be more comfortable once Heatherstar made Sorrelkit, Hopkit, and Pigeonkit apprentices, and describes them as being as large as hares, and she comments that they must be six moons by that point. While discussing with Heatherstar, he points out that Sorrelkit would never have the speed of Stagleap. Heatherstar calls together a meeting shortly after, and Sorrelkit and Pigeonkit scramble through the gorse. She asks about Hopkit quietly, and Meadowslip tells her that he understood that he could not be an apprentice like her. Heatherstar calls for Sorrelkit and Pigeonkit, and they scramble into the hollow, and trot over to their leader.
:Following the naming of Pigeonpaw an apprentice, Heatherstar turns to Sorrelkit. She is named Sorrelpaw, and is given Stagleap as a mentor. Her eyes widen as her mentor pads forward to greet her as an apprentice and she nervously twitches her tail as he touches her head. Stagleap tells her not to worry, assuring her that she would be a great apprentice, and jokes that he promises not to eat the young cat. Heatherstar asks for Sorrelpaw to learn boldness and loyalty from Stagleap, and she promises to.
====Leopardstar's Honor====
:Leopardfur meets Stagleap, Sorrelshine, and Pigeonflight with Stagleap asking why the RiverClan and ShadowClan cats were hunting on their land. Leopardfur reasons that since no cat is living in the territory, any cat should be allowed to hunt there. Sorrelshine comes closer to Stagleap, causing the latter to reassure the younger she-cat. When Leopardfur threatens to drive them out of the territory, she forces Sorrelshine to drop the vole that she had caught.
====Onestar's Confession====
:Barkface expresses concern for Sorrelshine's kitting due to her old age, suggesting that an experienced cat like Bailey would be welcome. Bailey helps care for Sorrelshine following her kitting, grooming her as she nurses. When Onepaw is delegated to cleaning the nursery as a punishment for going to the Twolegplace, he sees Sorrelshine resting with her kits, and they nearly wake her. Sorrelshine pulls her kits close when Tornear's patrol rushes into camp to report ShadowClan trespassing. It is later revealed that Sorrelshine has passed due to the poisoning of the rabbits. During his leadership ceremony, Onewhisker sees Sorrelshine, and she gives him a life for loyalty, warning him that he cannot tell Whitetail that he saw her.

====Redtail's Debt====
:Sorrelpaw accidentally catches a rabbit on ThunderClan's territory and runs into Redtail and Tigerclaw. At first, she refuses to admit she trespassed despite the obvious evidence. Tigerclaw orders Redtail to teach her a lesson, and Redtail reluctantly attacks and injures Sorrelpaw, but stops when Tigerclaw orders him to kill her. Stagleap arrives and scolds the two ThunderClan warriors for beating up such a young apprentice. Tigerclaw lies about what happened, and Heatherstar and Sunstar bicker about it during the Gathering. Redtail finds Stagleap who tells Redtail that Sorrelpaw was still healing.
