 — **Amberburn** to Snowfall in the medicine den, Fracture, Chapter 10

## Book Appearances

### Alive:

Fracture

**Amberburn** was a cat with a brownish-gold coat, white paws and tail tip, and amber eyes.

**Amberburn** served as a warrior under Flamepelt until she died to an illness. **Amberburn** was the foster mother to Shiningsky and mother to Brownpaw, her mate being Snowfall. **Amberburn** took Shiningpaw into her care after Snowfall took him into the camp and requested she do so, in order to give Brownpaw a cat to grow up with.

**Amberburn** advised Shiningsky where he needed it during his apprenticeship. She offered him comfort and support when he needed it.

## History

### *Fracture*

In *Fracture,* **Amberburn** was first introduced in the prologue as one of the queens in the nursery. Snowfall offers Shiningkit to her, asking her if she'd be willing to take care of the kit. **Amberburn** agrees to it, and warms up to Shiningkit immediately.

Later, when Stonekit and Hawkkit have their apprentice ceremonies, Shiningkit and Brownkit are a bit disrespectful to Flamepelt, and **Amberburn** gets them both to shut up with a glare, later going over to them and scolding them for their behavior. They both apologize, and **Amberburn** talks about how they're both kits and are learning. **Amberburn** distracts them both from their mistake by asking Shiningkit what called for a "stupid furball" remark.

When Shiningkit and Brownkit are both set to have their apprentice ceremonies, **Amberburn** soothes Shiningkit's nerves by assuring him it's natural for any cat to be nervous before their apprentice ceremony. After all, it was the first time you'd stand before every cat in the camp. **Amberburn** also tells him that he didn't have to say a word to any cat.

When Shiningpaw catches prey for the first time in his apprenticeship, **Amberburn** makes it a point to praise him and tell him all it took was time. She becomes fretful, however, when Shiningpaw explains how he made the catch. When Snowfall tells Shiningpaw to be careful, she calms him by telling him that they're trying to make sure he's safe. She also provides a reasonable explanation for why Shiningpaw would have heard a voice while out hunting.

When Shiningpaw returns to the camp after rescuing Webkit and Shimmerkit from a fox, **Amberburn** sees him in the medicine, calling what he did brave, but stupidly brave.

When Stonepaw mocks Shiningpaw during battle training, **Amberburn** accompanies Goldensun and Snowfall in following Shiningpaw after he takes off. When Snowfall leads Shiningpaw to the clearing, **Amberburn** asks what Snowfall talked to him about. After Shiningpaw tells her that Snowfall said to ignore Stonepaw, which was easier said than done, **Amberburn** agrees, and comments that Stonepaw has always been a noisy cat, but someday he'll come to respect him like a warrior would. And when Shiningpaw says that he's not a warrior, **Amberburn** tells him that in her heart, he'll always be a warrior.

When Shiningpaw is moved to the medicine den because of the illness both he and **Amberburn** receive, **Amberburn** remains by his side, comforting him. A moon after this event, **Amberburn** succumbs to the sickness, and dies. Before her death, she tells Snowfall to make sure that Brownpaw and Shiningpaw both know she loves them, she's proud of them, and that she will never stop loving them.
