"May StarClan light your path, Fallensnow, and yours, Sunpelt, as you walk the skies to join them. May you find good hunting, swift running, and shelter when you sleep." |
— Brackenheart at Sunpelt and Fallensnow's vigil in SkyClan's Destiny, pages 8-9 |
Fallensnow is an ancient SkyClan cat under Spiderstar's leadership in the gorge.
In SkyClan's Destiny, Fallensnow dies in the battle against the rats along with Sunpelt. The other SkyClan warriors couldn't rescue either of their bodies. There is a discussion of whether the remaining cats in the battle patrol are right to leave their bodies behind, but in the end, the Clan accepts this because the patrol has to flee before more cats were killed. Oakstep strongly disagrees with their choice, even trying to flee and recover the bodies, but Spiderstar stops him. Brackenheart then speaks to StarClan, praying that Fallensnow and Sunpelt can find their way safely to the skies.
