## Education

### Unofficial Apprentice

Nightnose

She is also known as the mother of a mute cat, which is Swanstream, who mated with Birchstar, the fourth leader. Sometime after her death, when it was discovered, she was also known as a child of one of Adderstar's mates. She was a younger queen than most cats were in MoonClan, joining the nursery at 18.5 moons and giving birth at 21 moons.

## Youth

She was born to Greenheart and Pinetail as Goldenkit many moons (over 40 moons) after her mother joined MoonClan due to a vision she got. She was moderately shy, but she became friends with Rosekit, the only kit at the time, *her* mother, Diamondfly, and *her* apprentice, Flippaw.

## Apprenticehood

Later on, Goldenkit got apprenticed to Moonstar's mate, Orangehill.

Goldenpaw was friendly to everyone, but she was always looking for true friends, which somehow she couldn't seem to find within her own Clan.

But then, as a senior apprentice, twelve moons old, she met Swiftclaw and his apprentice, Applepaw, from SnowClan while on border patrol with her mentor, Blazesky, Littleclaw and Rosepaw.

Swiftclaw and Applepaw were monitoring them to make sure they didn't cross, but due to Littleclaw and Swiftclaw's natures, they both got in a small verbal fight. While trying to help Littleclaw, Goldenpaw accidentally crossed the border while trying to intimidate Swiftclaw. The SnowClan warrior got angry and tried to pounce on Goldenpaw, but Littleclaw intervened and got pounced on instead, and they started fighting.

Orangehill and Blazesky tried to stop the fight, but Applepaw and Rosepaw joined in, too. But then, Goldenpaw pointed out that Swiftclaw and Applepaw had also crossed the border, and warned them to stay back. Swiftclaw was in conflict for a moment, since he usually adamantly stuck to the warrior code, but then agreed to do so.

## Death

She died giving birth to Mousekit and Petalkit due to severe blood loss from a big tear in her kitting area. She had told Birchpaw about how she wanted to die after her pregnancy, which made Birchpaw think about it a bit.

## Post-Mortem

She saw Greenheart, her mother in StarClan, and a half-sister she never knew about, Lightkit.

Later on, when Mousekit, her sick daughter in the third litter, dies, she guides her into StarClan and has her meet her half-aunt, Lightkit. Then Goldenlily appears to everyone as a spirit in MoonClan and tells everyone that Mousekit is safe. This is her first StarClan spotting after her death.

She appears in front of her mute daughter in her second litter, Swanpaw when she fell off the cliff into the Creek of Blood. It was a sign that StarClan healed the cats.

Goldenlily appears in front of her oldest daughter in her first litter, Icemoon, as Icemoon starts falling asleep after kitting, and later dies in her sleep. Goldenlily guided Icemoon into StarClan.

She gave Birchstar's second life for having faith in StarClan.
