Rosetail/Main article

Rosetail is a gray tabby she-cat with a bushy, pinkish-orange tail.

Rosetail was a ThunderClan elder who lived under the leaderships of Pinestar, Sunstar, and Bluestar in the forest territories. She was born to Poppydawn and Windflight alongside Thistleclaw and Sweetpaw as Rosekit, and apprenticed to Tawnyspots as Rosepaw. She earned her warrior name, Rosetail, and served her Clan for many moons until becoming an elder. Rosetail was killed by Blackfoot while defending the ThunderClan nursery from a ShadowClan attack.

The Prophecies Begin

 * Rosetail has become an elder. When ThunderClan's camp is invaded by ShadowClan while Bluestar is away at the Moonstone, Rosetail guards the nursery. She is attacked by Blackfoot, the ShadowClan deputy, who quickly overpowers the elder. Though Rosetail dies, the kits are protected by Yellowfang, the former ShadowClan medicine cat.

She is apprenticed to Tawnyspots, but when she, Sweetpaw, and Bluefur share a bad mouse, all three cats become sick; however, Sweetpaw is unable to recover and dies. Her brother, Thistlepaw, becomes a warrior early, and Rosepaw continues her training, participating in a skirmish with RiverClan, and soon earns her warrior name as well. Meanwhile, she teases Bluefur about Thrushpelt's feelings for her, wishing she had an admirer.
