**Brookshine** is a blue-gray she-cat with yellow-green eyes. She inherited most of her looks from her mother, including her shorter fur, but her bulky size comes mainly from her father.

She was born as Brookkit to Dovemoon and Liongaze, along with her brothers Prickkit and Wispkit. Before, her mother had difficulty conceiving, and even lost a litter, and so their birth was considered a miracle by their parents.

Unfortunately, a moon after Brookpaw became an apprentice, Dovemoon fell deathly ill and could not recover. Not long after, Dovemoon passed and joined the ranks of StarClan.

Brookpaw continued training and at the age of 13 moons, gained her warrior name: Brookshine.

## History

June 2, 2015 2:32 PM

Brookshine, chasing a rabbit for the first time, misjudges her position and steps on a twig, causing it to run. She chases it towards the stream, but when it shoots away suddenly, she runs straight into Floodstar and splashes water all over. Floodstar jokes with her, and Brookshine responds that she’s never even tried hunting a rabbit before.

She asks him about when he learned, and learns that when Floodstar was an apprentice, the Clan was forced to hunt land prey after a particularly harsh leaf-bare that froze the lake and rivers.

They track the rabbit for a bit before they lose it over a stretch of marshy land heading towards the AspenClan border. Brookshine grows frustrated, but after a few moments, Floodstar finds the scent once again.

The two joke as they track it, and finally have it in their sights. Brookshine hangs back while Floodstar stalks it. When he leaps at it, his leap is off, and Brookshine is forced to go after it and manages to catch it herself. They begin to return to camp, with Brookshine boasting that RavenClan cats can’t complain about hunting rabbits being difficult.

They head back to camp, with Floodstar mentioning they should hunt together again sometimes. Brookshine jokes that she was a popular cat, but she’d try to pull herself away. She asks him if he would like to share the rabbit, and he agrees.

Brookshine brings up the idea of hunting land prey more often, although being cautious that RavenClan cats might try to fight for the rights to do so. Floodstar says he won’t let it happen. Brookshine jokes that it’s actually the fish that makes WillowClan cats so smart, although she doesn’t wish to give up rabbit.

Brookshine appreciates the fact that she can spend time with Floodstar as though he was a regular Clanmate. She acknowledges how he gets nine lives, but how dying can still be a scary experience. Brookshine believes this is why only the strongest cat is chosen as deputy—so that they may have the strength to endure such experiences.

Brookshine suddenly remembers she was due for a border patrol, and bids a quick farewell, telling Floodstar that they would talk again soon.

## Quotes

**Brookshine**: I don't know. I began doubting your judgement when you picked Snapfrost [to be deputy] instead of one of my brothers. We could have been a strong Clan with Wispcall as deputy and my father as medicine cat. Nothing could stop us.

**Floodstar**: Ah, but that's why I couldn't possibly have chosen him. Wispcall would have been a good choice, but I couldn't let your family get too much authority could I? A revolution would have been imminent!

**Brookshine**: Mouse-dung! You're far too clever, Floodstar.
