Sandstorm

Sandstorm is a pale ginger she-cat with barely visible darker stripes and pale green eyes.

Into the Wild

 * Her mentor was Whitestorm. Her best friend was Dustpaw. Sandpaw, along with Dustpaw, mocked Firepaw because he was a kittypet, and both were furious that Firepaw and Graypaw were made into warriors before them, even though they were apprenticed first.

Fire and Ice

 * After Fireheart saved her from falling off the edge of the gorge, her true feelings for him showed, much to the disappointment of Dustpaw. They started sharing tongues with each other, and spent more time together. She helped him find Cloudkit when he had wandered away from the Clan camp during leaf-bare. She was named a warrior after Fireheart told Bluestar of her bravery when fighting off the rouges.

Forest of Secrets
Sandstorm becomes close friends with Fireheart, and Dustpelt is very angry that she spends so much time with Fireheart.

Rising Storm

 * Her love for Fireheart now becomes very obvious. She travels with him to the Twoleg farms (near Ravenpaw's barn) with Fireheart and Ravenpaw to find the stolen Cloudpaw. Throughout the book she becomes a cat for Fireheart to confide in, and she also becomes concerned about Bluestar. She has small fight with Fireheart toward the end of the book.

A Dangerous Path
Sandstorm reveals her true feelings near the end of the book for Fireheart before the dog pack raged through the forest thanks to Tigerstar.

Super Edition: Firestar's Quest

 * In Firestar's Quest, she travels with Firestar to rebuild SkyClan, and also helps him teach the warrior code and explain Clan customs to the SkyClan cats. While traveling during a storm, Sandstorm gets swept away by a giant wave. Firestar regrets the argument over his feelings for Spottedleaf that Sandstorm and him had been having moments before she was lost. He spends the next few chapters of the book desperately searching for his beloved mate. He eventually finds her and she insists on playing an equal role in the journey of rebuilding SkyClan. Sandstorm does most of the hunting during the book, showing off her skills and managing to catch a fish. Sandstorm takes up the role of part time medicine cat for SkyClan when Patchfoot is injured by rats and Sandstorm is the only cat who has any basic knowledge of herbs which she learned from Cinderpelt before she and Firestar began their journey. She gets very upset when Spottedleaf comes to help Sandstorm heal Patchfoot, Firestar letting it slip that him and Spottedleaf had seen each other before. Sandstorm insists that Firestar loves Spottedleaf and how the two had always seemed to belong together when Firestar first joined the clan. Firestar and Spottedleaf assure her that although the two cats had loved each other, Spottedleaf was a medicine cat. She could not choose a mate, even if she desperately wanted to. Firestar also tells Sandstorm he would love Sandstorm for all the moons to come and she would never be second-best to him. Though Spottedleaf would always be Firestar's first love, his love for Sandstorm belonged in the life they shared and would last for all the moons to come. Sandstorm accepts, although gets slightly tense when Firestar brings up the name of the beautiful tortoiseshell she-cat again. In the fight against the rats, Sandstorm refuses to leave Firestar in the warehouse and later chooses to save him over Rainfur, who dies. Together, Sandstorm and Firestar leave SkyClan and return to ThunderClan. In the epilogue, she gives birth to Firestar's kits Squirrelflight and Leafpool.

Dawn

 * In Dawn, Sandstorm rejoices in the return of both her kits, Squirrelpaw and Leafpaw. When Graystripe was captured by Twolegs, Sandstorm and Brambleclaw were the ones who did most of his jobs as deputy. Sandstorm also does her best to comfort Firestar after Graystripe is captured and when it comes time to leave Graystipe behind.

Sunset
Sandstorm convinces Firestar to let Graystripe go, and apoint a new deputy, which he does, choosing Brambleclaw.

The Sight

 * In the prologue of the book, you learn that Firestar never shared the prophecy Skywatcher had given him with Sandstorm. Sandstorm is seen mostly in short scenes, normally along side Firestar. She is now the mentor of Honeypaw, who, after Sorreltail, is her second apprentice.

The Warriors Website Family Tree
On the official Warriors website (www.warriorcats.com), it says that Redtail is Sandstorm's father. This may be true for he had a bushy tail and so does Squirrelflight, but is probably not, because Erin Hunter has said that family tree isn't that accurate.
