A Vision of Shadows

 * He is one of the kits of Pinenose and Spikefur, and is picked by Rowanstar to train under Leafpool as their previous Medicine cat, Littlecloud, died without an apprentice. Puddlekit is apprenticed early and trains under ThunderClan's Medicine cat for two moons until he is given his full name of Puddleshine. Soon afterwards, he is forced to deal with the yellowcough outbreak on his own, and is eventually merged into The Kin, becoming their only healer and only able to help the injured sparingly. He eventually rejoins ShadowClan, and struggles to support Rowanstar, but when Rowanstar steps down as leader and merges ShadowClan with SkyClan, Puddleshine struggles to work with Frecklewish due to their conflicting methods. He eventually rejoins ShadowClan under Tigerstar, but when trying to gather herbs, he is caught in barbed wire and develops a severe infection, and Alderheart seeks to cure him using seedless deathberries. Alderheart's plan is successful, and Puddleshine later returns to ShadowClan fully healed.
