"Do you think Bramblestar was always so impulsive? We were still kits before the impostor, so we've never seen him being a proper leader. Every cat says he was great. Do you think he was? Because he doesn't exactly seem great now." |
— Bayshine to Nightheart about Bramblestar in Sky, page 272 |
Bayshine is a golden tabby tom[1] with white splotches.[5]
Bayshine is a ThunderClan warrior who has served under Bramblestar's and Squirrelstar's leaderships in the lake territories. He was born to Sorrelstripe and Dewnose as Baykit along with his sister, Myrtlekit. He grew up alongside Flamekit and Finchkit, the former becoming his best friend. He was apprenticed to Mousewhisker as Baypaw during the impostor's reign. As a warrior, Bayshine befriended Sunbeam when she left ShadowClan to be with Nightheart in ThunderClan. He participated in her second trial to join the Clan.
History[]
In The Broken Code[]
Lost Stars[]
- Baykit, along with his sister Myrtlekit, tumble around with Flamekit and Finchkit while their mothers listen to the Clan meeting. Later, he and Myrtlekit play with Sparkpelt's kits while being monitored by Sorrelstripe. When Bramblestar's body is brought to camp, he sadly stares at it.
The Silent Thaw[]
- "The new apprentices are called Myrtlepaw and Baypaw. Aren't ThunderClan names strange?"
- ―Needlepaw to Rootpaw about Baypaw and Myrtlepaw The Silent Thaw, page 43
Darkness Within[]
- Alderheart suggests that if Bristlefrost is bored, she can help Flamepaw and Baypaw clean out bedding. Baypaw insists that they don't need help as he drags old bedding from the elders' den, and says that Cloudtail and Brightheart are giving them advice. The elders remind him to take the bedding straight out of camp and to fetch ferns rather than bracken, which is uncomfortable for Brightheart to sleep on. Baypaw rolls his eyes as he drags the bedding away.
The Place of No Stars[]
- When Graystripe returns from his wander, he orders the apprentices to take the remaining prey off the fresh-kill pile to the elders.
In the A Starless Clan arc[]
River[]
- "You might not want to say that too loud, especially considering that our leader, Bramblestar, is your kin."
- ―Baypaw warning Flamepaw to be mindful of his words River (book), page 8
Sky[]
- "What in StarClan is wrong with you? We're ThunderClan cats, and we're lucky that we are. For StarClan's sake! ThunderClan is the best Clan! And you're a descendant of Firestar. Are you seriously thinking about becoming a ShadowClan cat?"
- ―Bayshine to Nightheart when he offhandedly mentions about joining ShadowClan Sky (book), page 185
- By sunset, Bayshine alerts Squirrelflight of their secret mission tasked by Bramblestar. While Squirrelflight and Bramblestar argue about the mission, Squirrelflight decides to cancel it, thanking Bayshine for informing her. Bayshine apologizes to Nightheart, though the black tom is frustrated that his chance to prove himself has been foiled. Bayshine asks if he's still planning on going on the mission alone, but he insists he has no where else to go. Seeming satisfied with his answer, Bayshine leaves to share prey with Myrtlebloom and Finchlight. Nightheart feels betrayed by Bayshine, and he relates to Sunbeam's feelings of betrayal over Blazefire and Lightleap. When Nightheart decides to leave ThunderClan to be with Sunbeam in ShadowClan, he decides he'll tell Bayshine first. However, Nightheart abruptly informs the entire Clan when challenged, and he catches Bayshine's crestfallen expression from the warrior's den.
Shadow[]
- When Nightheart shows up at the Gathering with ShadowClan, Bayshine and Lilyheart asks where he has been and why he is with ShadowClan.

Squirrelflight's Hope[]
- His mother nurses Sparkpelt's kits after the death of Flickerkit and Larksong. Squirrelflight spots Baykit and Myrtlekit sleeping with their mother, and Sorrelstripe is exhausted nursing all four kits. When Squirrelflight's spirit visits ThunderClan, she spots Sorrelstripe and her kits outside the nursery.
In the Novellas[]
Spotfur's Rebellion[]
- At the warrior's den, Spotpaw hears Dewnose scolding Thriftpaw for destroying herbs supplies. The apprentice says that she only wanted to help Baykit.
Daisy's Kin[]
- Mousewhisker, Sparkpelt, and Baypaw deliver the news that Smoky requests to talk with Daisy to Squirrelflight.
