#### Chapter 2

When Iceslide goes over to see his siblings and Coralshine, Winterlight perks up and bumps heads with him, asking where he's been. Iceslide starts to respond, but is distracted when he notices the affection between Blizzardfur and Coralshine.

Their parents come over, and Grayshadow gestures to the fresh kill pile, boasting about the large trout that Winterlight caught on her own. She is embarrassed and says it was nothing, but Grayshadow insists that it's the biggest trout he's ever seen, adding that Frostedcloud puts her on so many patrols because she's one of the best hunters in the clan. Iceslide congratulates her.

#### Chapter 3

Iceslide returns to camp and finds a clan meeting being held. Maplesky tries to reassure the clan about Otterpelt's omen and claims that even medicine cats have regular dreams sometimes. Ravenfeather argues against this. Winterlight touches his flank and gently tells him to let Maplesky speak. Ravenfeather slowly relaxes and leans on her, and Maplesky blinks at her gratefully before continuing.

#### Chapter 5

When Iceslide goes into the nursery to see Frozenripple's kits, the warm scent brings back memories of kithood. He recalls play fighting with Winterkit and Blizzardkit, arguing about who would be the best warriors, and playing with the stones and pebbles that Grayshadow brought them, as well as curling up against Whitedapple's warm fur every night.

#### Chapter 7

When Iceslide and Frostedcloud return to camp, Winterlight, Blizzardfur, and Coralshine are at the fresh kill pile.

#### Chapter 8

When Icepaw returns from the hunting patrol, he sees Winterlight sharing a vole with Ravenfeather. They're both purring, and Winterlight's eyes shine as she looks at him. Icepaw wonders if they're mates, noting that he's never noticed them so close.

When Icepaw sees Dewwhisker and Shadepath telling stories to Petalfin's kits, he remembers that they would tell the same stories to he, Blizzardfur, and Winterlight when they were kits. The stories seem exciting and inspiring to every kit.

Icepaw is laying in the apprentices den when Winterlight comes in and lays beside him, quietly asking how he's doing. He says that he could be better, and she tells him that she knows it can't be easy, but he'll be a warrior again soon enough, as long as he doesn't go to twolegplace anymore.

He changes the subject and comments on how close she and Ravenfeather are and how much time alone they spend together. Winterlight is embarrassed and purrs that he's great, and they hunt and fish together. Icepaw teases and asks if that's all they do together, and she nudges him, her ears flat as she tells him to shut up.

Icepaw chuckles, but decides to leave her alone about it. They begin talking about Blizzardfur and Coralshine, and they watch them outside the den. Winterlight comments that it seems like every cat is finding someone and asks Icepaw if he has. He lies and says no, but Winterlight says that he can't fool her, as she's seen him with her.

He begins to wonder if she's seen him with Violet and how, wondering if she's followed him too like Frostedcloud did. But Winterlight is talking about Lilynose and how she's very fond of him. Icepaw denies it, but Winterlight points out that he won't go hunting unless it's with her, stating that she clearly means a lot to him. He tells her not to be ridiculous, and she's amused.

Ravenfeather pokes his head into the den and asks Winterlight if she'd like to go hunting. Winterlight perks up and says of course. She tells Icepaw that she has to go and to take care. She licks his ear before leaving the den with Ravenfeather, purring and twining their tails together as they walk.

Icepaw purrs, glad to see his sister so happy, noting that she deserves it. He hopes that he and Violet can be happy together like that someday.

#### Chapter 9

When Iceslide is made a warrior, Winterlight starts the cheer for his new name, though not many others join in. Her eyes are warm as she watches him from where she sits with Ravenfeather, who doesn't share her enthusiasm.

#### Chapter 10

When Sunripple wakes up Iceslide during the night, Winterlight and Ravenfeather are laying asleep beyond Creekleap. Ravenfeather's head is rested on her neck.

That day, Iceslide is on a hunting patrol with Mudslip, Mintpaw, Petalfin, Ravenfeather, and Winterlight. When Iceslide returns to the others with a mouse, he notices Ravenfeather is missing and starts to ask Winterlight where he is. Just then, Ravenfeather steps out of the bushes holding a large trout. He drops it at his paws and says that he caught it in the river.

Winterlight gazes at him proudly, commenting that he's an amazing hunter. Ravenfeather purrs and touches his nose to hers, saying not as amazing as she is. He sits beside her and tells her they can share the trout when they get back to camp.

After Petalfin praises her son, Mintpaw, Winterlight chuckles, and Ravenfeather purrs as he leans against her, saying it must be great to have kits to be proud of and watch grow up, noting that he can't wait for theirs. Winterlight is surprised and blinks, shifting apart from them.

Ravenfeather tilts his head, saying that they'll have kits someday. Winterlight hesitates, looking uncomfortable as she shuffles her paws and tells him that she doesn't want kits. He is confused, and she says she doesn't want to be a mother, she's a warrior, and doesn't want to be stuck in the nursery with mewling kits.

Ravenfeather says she can't be serious, in disbelief as he says she can't be serious, and asks why she wouldn't kits, *their* kits. Winterlight tells him that she loves hunting and patrolling for her clan, and wants to dedicate her life to that. He stares at her for a moment in hurt and disbelief, then grows angry, saying he guesses there's no room in her life for him then.

Winterlight is alarmed and starts to apologize, but Ravenfeather angrily snarls at her to forget it and enjoy being nothing more than a warrior with no descendants. He says he just wishes she'd told him before he wasted any time with her. With that, he races away.

Winterlight stares after him in shock and pain, speechless. Iceslide rushes to her side and presses against her side, licking her ear and telling her that she deserves better than him anyway. She rests against him. Mudslip looks at Winterlight sympathetically and quietly says they should get back to camp.

As they head back, Winterlight whispers that she thought he'd understand, and she loved him. Iceslide wraps her tail around his back and says she'll find someone better, and it'll be okay. He notes that Ravenfeather seemed like a good cat, and he's still shocked at what Ravenfeather said to her, wondering how he could do this to her.

#### Chapter 11

Iceslide is saddened when he sees Winterlight laying at the edge of the camp with her chin on her paws, her eyes fixed on the ground. He knows that she's still upset over Ravenfeather. He picks up the fish he caught and brings it to her, nudging it to her and asking if she's hungry. She closes her eyes and says she doesn't have an appetite. Iceslide's heart sinks as he notes that she's always been so happy and positive. He lays beside her. He watches the camp for a bit.

Iceslide looks beside her and sees that she hasn't touched the fish yet. He urges her to eat, and she turns away. Blizzardfur pads over and asks if she's okay, looking concerned. Iceslide tells him that she won't eat.

When Petalfin says that without kits, there's no future, Winterlight overhears and is hurt. Iceslide and Blizzardfur exchange a sad look, knowing that she didn't need to hear that. Blizzardfur suggests the three of them go fishing, and Iceslide says it's a good idea, as Winterlight loves hunting. He adds that he could use advice, asking if she's seen his sloppy skills.

Winterlight forces a purr and says she guesses, adding that she wouldn't mind getting away from camp. She slowly gets up, her tail drooping as they go.

As they pad alongside the river, Iceslide notices how distant she is and knows that she's thinking about Ravenfeather. He can't leave her alone with those dark thoughts. He comments on how huge the river seemed when they were apprentices, and Winterlight's eyes flicker with amusement as she says they couldn't believe any cat could swim across it.

Blizzardfur brings up the time when Iceslide fell in the river while the three of them were training with their mentors. Iceslide says that Winterlight and Blizzardfur wouldn't leave him alone about it for moons. Winterlight purrs in amusement as she recalls how Frozenripple said that he'd never caught and Icepaw-fish before. The three of them laugh.

Iceslide notices that she looks a bit happier and hopes that they can keep her spirits up. He suggests they start fishing. Blizzardfur asks him if he's going to fall in again, joking that he and Winterlight don't want to have to fish him out. Iceslide says he'll try not to and asks Winterlight to show them how it's done.

Winterlight hesitates and studies the water, quietly telling them to be patient. Several fish pass them, and Iceslide is surprised when she doesn't move and just watches them silently. He and Blizzardfur exchange a look, wondering if she's too upset to catch anything.

Just then, Winterlight hooks in a huge trout, and Iceslide and Blizzardfur watch, impressed as she kills it. Iceslide exclaims that it's a great catch, and Blizzardfur agrees, adding that it's enough to feed three cats. Winterlight purrs and says it's nothing, and explains that if you go for the little ones, you scare away all the big ones. If you're patient, they come along.

Iceslide purrs that she's the best hunter in RiverClan, and they're lucky to have her. Winterlight purrs, but the light fades from her eyes as she looks down and says that Ravenfeather is a great hunter too.

Blizzardfur says maybe, but he's not a great cat like she is. Iceslide adds that he's not as great a hunter either. Winterlight sits up and sighs as she says that Ravenfeather won't even talk to her anymore and avoids her at all costs. Iceslide says then he's a mouse brain, and that if he can't respect her decisions, then he doesn't deserve to be with a cat like her, and she can't let him bring her down. Blizzardfur agrees, telling her that she's an amazing warrior, one of the best in the clan. She can't let him get in the way of that, and she might find a new mate, a better one.

Winterlight says maybe, then decides that she thinks they're right. She says that losing Ravenfeather is hard, but she wants to be the best warrior she can be, and can't let him stop her. It'll take time, but she can move on. Blizzardfur purrs and licks her cheek, saying that's the spirit.

leaning on Blizzardfur and wrapping her tail around Iceslide, thanking them and saying they're the best brothers any cat could ask for. Iceslide purrs and rests his chin on her head, saying that they're family, and that means they're always there for her. He silently vows to never let anything happen to his family, and he'd give his life for them.

#### Chapter 13

When trying to comfort Iceslide about Lilynose's death, Blizzardfur mentions how he, Iceslide, and Winterlight would slide on the frozen river as apprentices. Iceslide loved it more than any of them, and Shimmerstar named him Iceslide because of it.

When Shimmerstar calls a clan meeting, Winterlight purrs a greeting to her brothers before sitting beside Iceslide, looking up at Shimmerstar brightly. She wonders if she'll ever get an apprentice. Blizzardfur purrs that he's sure she will, and she'd make any cat a master at fishing.

Iceslide is glad to see his sister back to her usual self. He notes that it had taken time, but she's finally gotten over Ravenfeather. Winterlight is entirely focused on her duties and seems determined not to let anything get in the way.

After Shimmerstar talks about the couples and future kits in the clan, Ravenfeather grumbles that it's pathetic, and love is nice and all, but it's a lie and a distraction. Power is more important than anything. He narrows his eyes at Winterlight as he says this.

Her fur bristles, and her eyes flash with hurt as he says this. She stares back at him, and Iceslide shifts closer to her, growling to her to ignore him, as he's trying to upset her. She hesitates, then nods and looks down.

#### Chapter 16

Shortly after Iceslide returns to camp, Winterlight runs over to them and purrs a greeting, asking if he'd like to go fishing with her.

Iceslide is exhausted, but doesn't say no, as she had been devastated when Ravenfeather ended their relationship, and she's finally back to her regular self. He has to spend time with her. He warmly says of course and "Let's go".

#### Chapter 18

For once, Iceslide is comfortable being in the RiverClan camp, as Violet and most of the other kittypets will be inside on a snowy day like today, so there's no point in going to twolegplace. He's sitting by the frozen reeds with Winterlight, sharing a trout with her.

As Iceslide watches Shorestep lead a patrol out, he comments that Winterlight must miss fishing since the river has frozen over. She sighs and admits she does, and can't wait for new-leaf. Iceslide purrs in amusement that leaf-bare has barely even started. She exclaims that it's been long enough for her, eyes gleaming.

When Lakesong purrs that kits are a great asset to the clan, Ravenfeather agrees, then narrows his eyes at Winterlight, saying that to most cats it is. Iceslide's tail lashes in frustration, and he casts a glance at his sister. He knows she heard him, but ignores him. Ravenfeather glares at her for a moment longer, then snorts and continues talking to Lakesong. Iceslide knows that he wanted a reaction, but didn't get one. He's proud of his sister and licks her ear.

Winterlight blinks at him warmly and comments that it shouldn't be long until Coralshine moves into the nursery, as she and Blizzardfur have been together for a long time. Iceslide sees Blizzardfur and Coralshine together now and murmurs that he's happy for him. Winterlight nods agreement.

#### Chapter 20

When they reach the camp, Iceslide stares, almost feeling the grief in the atmosphere. Whitedapple cries his name and catches his attention, and he snaps his gaze toward her. He sees Whitedapple crouched over Grayshadow, a paw rested on his flank as she stares at Iceslide. Her eyes are dull with grief. Winterlight and Blizzardfur are beside her, their heads bowed.

Winterlight raises her head and looks at Iceslide, her eyes glistening as she tells him that Grayshadow was out on patrol with Swanpool, Sunripple, Lakesong, and Newttail. She swallows and says they were ambushed, then trails off. Iceslide says he knows. When he looks to Blizzardfur and asks if he's okay, his brother says he's fine, though he swallows and his eyes cloud with sadness. He says that Grayshadow was a great father and licks Whitedapple's shoulder.

Whitedapple gives a small nod and tells her kits that Grayshadow was so proud of them. Iceslide thinks "Most of us" and feels a pang of regret, thinking if only his father could have been proud of him, and understood him.

#### Chapter 21

After Blizzardfur and Coralshine reveal they're having kits, Winterlight rushes over.

She congratulates them and gives Blizzardfur's ear a lick, then she bumps her head against Coralshine's.

A loud purr rumbles in Blizzardfur's throat, his eyes filled with happiness as he thanks them, adding that he hopes he'll be a good father.

Coralshine purrs that he will be and nuzzles his neck fur. Winterlight nods, her eyes shining as she says he'll be great. Iceslide thinks "Of course he will" as he gazes at his brother warmly, and Whitedapple purrs and licks his shoulder.

#### Chapter 22

RiverClan is awoken by Driftpaw wailing for help by the camp entrance. Shimmerstar reaches him with Frostedcloud and Salmonstripe and starts to ask what's going on. Driftpaw cuts her off and cries that they have to help them, his eyes lit with terror as he says that their camp is under attack by the rogues. He's nearly tripping over his words he's speaking so fast. He says that they're outnumbered, and it's bad. His father is already badly wounded, and his mentor, Windwhisker, is dead.

Driftpaw desperately begs them to come and hurry. Shimmerstar promises that they will. She quickly turns to her warriors and scans the nearest cats. She calls on Salmonstripe, Mudslip, Sunripple, Shorestep, Warmmoss, and Iceslide, then pauses as more cats hurry out into the open, calling on Winterlight and Heronleg to come too.

Driftpaw's tail is twitching back and forth in impatience and fear as Shimmerstar turns to him and orders him to lead the way. Driftpaw spins and races out of the camp, and the RiverClan cats follow.

When they reach the WindClan camp, they're surprised to find it quiet. The battle has ended. Shimmerstar hesitates as they near the gorse tunnel, raising her tail for her cats to stop. When she decides that it's safe, she leads the way into the camp.

Shimmerstar turns to her warriors and quietly tells them to help the wounded if they can, as Hivepelt and Silverberry would appreciate the help.

#### Chapter 23

Iceslide is about to attack Glass Face again when Winterlight tackles the rogue, snarling that she'll take care of him.

After the battle when Troutspots accuses Iceslide of being a traitor, Winterlight jumps to his defense and glares at Troutspots, asking if he thinks Iceslide would help a group of blood-thirsty rogues.

Ravenfeather snarls that of course he would, as Iceslide has never been loyal.

#### Chapter 25

As Iceslide runs to the RiverClan camp, he knows that more of his clanmates will be dead. He prays to StarClan that Winterlight and Blizzardfur aren't among them.

As he stares around the camp, Winterlight calls his name and races over to him, pressing her head against his neck, and he staggers, dazed as she thanks StarClan that he's okay. She leans back and stares at him anxiously as she asks where he was. Iceslide is about to respond when he sees Blizzardfur crouched by the nursery and hurries over to ask if he's okay.

As Blizzardfur yells at Iceslide and blames him for Coralshine's death, Winterlight calls Blizzardfur's name and races over, looking at her brothers warily. She starts to tell them to listen, but Blizzardfur ignores her and continues screeching at Iceslide.

After Blizzardfur slashes Iceslide's face, Winterlight and Dipfoot grasp Blizzardfur as he yowls furiously at Iceslide and tries to pull free. Eventually he gives up and lets Winterlight and Dipfoot guide him away as he cries.

#### Chapter 26

Iceslide is laying in the snow near the side of the clearing, looking ahead dully. Winterlight says "hey" to him and settles beside him. He returns the greeting quietly. It's quiet for a moment before she sadly murmurs that it's terrible, and a mess. Iceslide quietly agrees and says it's his fault.

Winterlight is noted to have become Ruskapaw's mentor. She seems very proud and excited. This is the life she wants, not with kits of her own, but to train others and fight for her clan.

After Blizzardfur walks by and narrows his eyes at Iceslide, Winterlight quietly tells Iceslide that Blizzardfur will recover, and he just needs time. Iceslide points out that time doesn't change the fact that Coralshine is dead, and he's right to blame him for it. Winterlight shakes her head and says that any cat who blames him is mouse brained, as he didn't kill anyone, the rogues did.

It's silent for a while before Iceslide thanks her, adding that she's the only cat who doesn't hate him. She tells him he's her brother and licks his ear reassuringly, asking how she could ever hate him. He sighs and rests his chin on his paws, while Winterlight rests her head on his shoulder. He closes his eyes and thinks that he should be the one dead, not anyone else.

#### Chapter 27

Iceslide is laying at the side of the clearing with his chin on his paws. Winterlight is settled beside him with her tail wrapped around him. Iceslide quietly says that he keeps thinking Blizzardfur is going to appear somewhere, but he won't. Winterlight looks at him sadly and murmurs that he's with Coralshine now, and she's sure he's happy.

Iceslide feels his heart sink as he says "he's dead", noting that it's because of him. Poisoned Sap was going to kill him, but Blizzardfur pushed him out of the way. He quietly asks why he did it. Winterlight presses her shoulder against his and softly says that he was his brother, and he loved him. Of course he would have given his life for Iceslide. She would have done the same for either of them. Iceslide numbly thinks that it should have been him instead, and he deserves to die.

After Frostedcloud and Shimmerstar argue, Winterlight watches them sadly, quietly saying that it's hard to see Shimmerstar like this. She used to be such a strong and determined leader, but now...

Iceslide nods, looking down. He hears pawsteps padding through the snow and looks up to see Otterpelt standing over him. She quietly asks if they're alright, giving Iceslide's shoulder a sniff as she says that his wounds seem better. She asks if he's in any pain.

Iceslide shakes his head. Winterlight hopefully asks Otterpelt if there's anything she can do for Shimmerstar, as she's not herself. Otterpelt hesitates and looks across the clearing at her leader. She murmurs that Shimmerstar has lost Salmonstripe, Lilynose, and Creekleap all in a short amount of time, and she feels helpless against Bone Shred. She bears wounds that they cannot see, and no medicine cat can heal those. It's quiet as Otterpelt turns and heads toward her den.

On the way to the gathering, Winterlight pads alongside Iceslide, shivering as her long fur brushes against the snow. She quietly asks Iceslide if he thinks they're prepared enough, and asks how many rogues there are and if they outnumber them. Iceslide isn't sure what to say. He hopes so. He thinks back to the last time he'd been to Bone Shred's camp. He thinks that five clans have to outnumber them, but is unsure.

Iceslide sits down with Winterlight among his clanmates.

During the battle with the rogues, Iceslide is struggling under a larger rogue, helpless. He's about to slash him when Winterlight slams into him and knocks him away from Iceslide, snarling.

#### Chapter 28

When Otterpelt reveals that she foresaw what Iceslide would do, cats begin snarling and yowling angrily at him. Winterlight presses to his side, ready to defend him.

After Dipfoot and Arcticblaze scorn him, Winterlight quietly asks if he's okay and tells him not to listen to them. Iceslide silently notes that he's not okay, and won't be until this is over. He closes his eyes and says he needs to talk to Otterpelt. He opens his eyes and heads to the medicine den.

When Iceslide offers to fight in Shimmerstar's place, Winterlight is staring at him numbly.

#### Chapter 29

Before they leave, Iceslide is relieved when he sees Winterlight padding over to him with a plump mouse. With a dip of his head to Shimmerstar, Iceslide turns and steps forward to meet his sister. She drops the mouse at his paws and says he needs to eat. He shakes his head and says he's not really hungry. He's far too worried to eat.

Winterlight says too bad, he has to eat anyway, as he needs his strength. Her eyes are brimming with fear and desperation as she stammers that he doesn't have to do this, they can find another way. He cuts her off gently and says that he has to, as this is what he's meant to do. She stares at him numbly as she says that she's already lost Grayshadow, Whitedapple, Ravenfeather, and Blizzardfur. She swallows and says she can't lose him too.

Iceslide feels a rush of compassion for his sister and steps forward, rubbing his cheek against hers. She murmurs that whatever happens, she'll be fine. She's the greatest warrior in RiverClan. She presses her muzzle into his fur.

Otterpelt addresses Iceslide, and he and Winterlight move away from each other as she approaches, carrying a bundle of herbs. She drops them in front of Iceslide and quietly tells him they're travelling herbs, and they'll give him strength. She looks at the mouse Winterlight brought and tells him to eat that too. He reluctantly obeys and crouches, chewing up the herbs and grimacing at the awful taste. He nibbles at the mouse and is only able to eat about half of it before his nerves turn his stomach.

While waiting for Bone Shred to arrive at the river, Iceslide silently notes that he wishes he'd spent more time with Blizzardfur and Winterlight instead of running off all the time.

## Character Development and Origins

Winterlight was created as the daughter of Grayshadow and Whitedapple, and the sister of Iceslide and Blizzardfur.

In the planning stages of *Shadows of Blood,* she would have been a warrior of RiverClan.
