She became an apprentice named Brindlepaw with her mentor being Nightcloud, her grandmother. She earned her warrior name, Brindlewing, alongside her sister Smokehaze. She became an older sister to Applepaw and Woodpaw and also mentored the former.
History
In the A Vision of Shadows arc
The Apprentice's Quest
- Brindlekit is a kit of WindClan, her parents being Heathertail and Breezepelt.
Thunder and Shadow
- Brindlepaw, along with Fernpaw, are present at a Gathering. The WindClan apprentices look eagerly at the other Clans' apprentices, Larkpaw, Honeypaw, Leafpaw, Breezepaw, and Nightpaw, although they do not join them. They stick close to their mentors, due to the feud between WindClan and the other Clans.
- At the next Gathering, Brindlepaw is friendlier, adventuring by herself to talk to Wavepaw and Cypresspaw of RiverClan. Twigpaw of ThunderClan sits close to Brindlepaw and the other apprentices, anxiously awaiting the arrival of ShadowClan. When Wavepaw explains that RiverClan cats are born to swim, Brindlepaw is shocked and wonders how they can do that without drowning. She shivers, saying that she hates getting her fur wet.
Shattered Sky
- Nightcloud is shown to be her mentor.
Darkest Night
- Brindlepaw and her denmates, Fernpaw and Smokepaw, are present at a Gathering. Alderheart notes how quiet and shy Brindlepaw is, saying that usually the apprentices are bouncy and wanting to chat with the other apprentices. This time, however, Brindlepaw stays close to her mentor and doesn't say anything.
River of Fire
- When lightning starts a fire in RiverClan, Brindlepaw travels with her mentor Nightcloud to go investigate. They meet with a ThunderClan patrol and decide to assist together.
- At a Gathering, Harestar reports that both Brindlewing and her sister Smokehaze have earned their warrior names. The Clan cats present cheer for their names before Leafstar steps up to speak.
In The Broken Code arc
The Silent Thaw
- Brindlewing is now a mentor to Applepaw.
