Gorsetail (PoT)

Gorsetail is a very pale gray and white she-cat with blue eyes.

The Sight

 * She scolds Sedgekit for telling Millie that kittypets can't be real warriors.

Dark River

 * When Leafpool and Jaypaw visit the WindClan camp to speak to Onestar, Gorsetail comes running into the clearing, frantic. She tells Onestar that all of her kits, Swallowkit, Thistlekit, and Sedgekit, have gone missing. She said that she had left the nursery to stretch her legs, but when she came back they had disappeared. She had tried to follow their trail, but it had disappeared near RiverClan's border. She is convinced that a hawk took them all. Onestar tries to calm her down, saying that a hawk wouldn't take three kits. He then promises to send a search party to look for them. After this, a WindClan patrol consisting of Ashfoot, Breezepaw, and Heatherpaw, run into the clearing. Ashfoot tells Onestar that they saw a RiverClan patrol on their territory, and that they had found rabbit blood where they had been. Gorsetail becomes terrified, and questions if they were sure it was rabbit blood they had found. WindClan become convinced that it was RiverClan who took the kits.


 * Her kits had wandered into the underground tunnels, and had gotten lost. Hollypaw, Jaypaw, Lionpaw, Breezepaw, and Heatherpaw went into the tunnels to go and find them. They soon rescue the kits and bring them to Onestar, stopping the battle that would have insued between WindClan and RiverClan.

Eclipse

 * Heatherpaw tells Lionpaw that Gorsetail's daughter, Sedgekit, told WindClan about the tunnels when WindClan attacked ThunderClan.

Sunrise

 * Gorsetail is now a warrior and her kits: Sedgekit, Swallowkit, and Thistlekit are now apprentices, with the names Sedgepaw, Swallowpaw, and Thistlepaw. Dewspots is mentor to Sedgepaw, Willowclaw is mentor to Swallowpaw, and Leaftail is Thistlepaw's mentor. She only appears once. When Hollyleaf, Jayfeather, and Lionblaze came to the Windclan border to see Crowfeather, she is on a patrol with Owlwhisker and Weaselfur and tells the ThunderClan cats that they had better stay off their border or they will tear their fur off. She is very hostile towards them for crossing the border.

The Fourth Apprentice



 * Her kits are now warriors, with the names Sedgewhisker and Swallowtail, but Thistlepaw does not appear in the allegiances, suggesting he may have died in between Sunrise and this book.

Trivia

 * She has been described as mottled tabby.
 * In the allegiances of The Fourth Apprentice and Fading Echoes, she is listed as a tom.
