-==History==
-===In the ''[[Super Editions]]''===
-====''[[Crowfeather's Trial]]''====
-:{{CS}}
-====''[[Bramblestar's Storm]]''====
-:Gorsetail is a part of [[Nightcloud|Nightcloud's]] [[Patrol|patrol]], along with [[Hootwhisker|Hootpaw]]. They demand to know what the [[ThunderClan]] [[Cat|cats]] are doing with the big white [[Prey#Avians|bird]], claiming to have [[Diseases and injuries#Injuries|injured]] it, and that [[Molewhisker (TC)|Molewhisker]] would never have caught it otherwise. While [[Sandstorm]] quietly tells [[Bramblestar]] that [[Firestar]] would have let them have the bird, he retorts that he isn't Firestar. Gorsetail overhears this, muttering that he absolutely isn't Firestar.
-:She is a part of another [[WindClan]] patrol that Bramblestar sees on his way back from investigating the [[Border|border]]. When he asks [[Crowfeather]] how the WindClan cats are, they retort that they haven't crossed the stream. Gorsetail insults [[Jessy]], [[Minty (KP)|Minty]], and [[Stormcloud|Frankie]], sarcastically saying that they're very effective additions to ThunderClan's hunting patrols.
-====''[[Tigerheart's Shadow]]''====
-:{{Alleg|Tigerheart's Shadow|Gorsetail}}
-===In the ''[[Power of Three]]'' arc===
-====''[[The Sight]]''====
-:Even though she is not listed in the [[The Sight/Allegiances|allegiances]], she does formally appear. She tells [[Sedgewhisker|Sedgekit]] to come inside the [[Camp#Dens|den]], interrupting the [[Kit|kit]] in the middle of informing [[Millie]] that [[Kittypet|kittypets]] can't be real [[Warrior|warriors]] when she returns to the [[General Clan information|Clans]] with [[Graystripe]].
-====''[[Dark River]]''====
-:When [[Leafpool]] and Jaypaw visit the WindClan [[Camp|camp]] to speak to [[Onestar]], Gorsetail comes running into the clearing, frantic. She tells Onestar that her kits, [[Swallowtail (WC)|Swallowkit]], [[Thistleheart|Thistlekit]], and Sedgekit, have gone missing. She says that she had left the [[Nursery|nursery]] to stretch her legs, but when she came back they had disappeared. She had tried to follow their trail, but it had disappeared near [[RiverClan|RiverClan's]] border. She is convinced that a [[Prey#Hawks|hawk]] took them all. Onestar tries to calm her down, saying that a hawk wouldn't be able take three kits at once. He then promises to send a search patrol to look for them.
-:Afterwards, a WindClan patrol consisting of [[Ashfoot]], [[Breezepelt|Breezepaw]], and [[Heathertail|Heatherpaw]] run into the clearing. Ashfoot tells Onestar that they saw a RiverClan patrol on [[The lake territories#WindClan|their territory]], and that they had found [[Prey#Rabbits|rabbit]] blood where the RiverClan patrol had just been. Gorsetail becomes terrified, and questions if they're sure it was rabbit blood they had found. WindClan becomes convinced that it was RiverClan who took the kits.
-:Her kits wander into the [[The tunnels|underground tunnels]] and get lost. [[Hollyleaf|Hollypaw]], Jaypaw, Lionpaw, Breezepaw, and Heatherpaw enter the tunnels to go and find them. They soon rescue the kits and bring them to Onestar, stopping the [[Battles|battle]] that would have ensued between WindClan and ThunderClan, and stopping a battle against RiverClan in the process.
-====''[[Outcast]]''====
-:{{Alleg|Outcast|Gorsetail}}
-====''[[Eclipse]]''====
-:{{Alleg|Eclipse|Gorsetail}}
-====''[[Long Shadows]]''====
-:{{Alleg|Long Shadows|Gorsetail}}
-====''[[Sunrise]]''====
-:Gorsetail's kits, Sedgekit, Swallowkit, and Thistlekit, are now [[Apprentice|apprentices]] with the names Sedgepaw, Swallowpaw, and Thistlepaw. When Hollyleaf, Jayfeather, and Lionblaze came to the WindClan border to see Crowfeather, she is on a patrol with [[Owlwhisker]] and [[Weaselfur]] and tells the ThunderClan cats that they had better stay off their border or they will tear their fur off. She is very hostile towards them for crossing the border.
-===In the ''[[Omen of the Stars]]'' arc===
-====''[[The Fourth Apprentice]]''====
-{{Alleg|The Fourth Apprentice|Gorsetail}} Two of her kits are now warriors, with the names Sedgewhisker and Swallowtail.
-====''[[Fading Echoes]]''====
-:{{Alleg|Fading Echoes|Gorsetail}}
-====''[[Night Whispers]]''====
-:{{Alleg|Night Whispers|Gorsetail}}
-====''[[Sign of the Moon]]''====
-:{{Alleg|Sign of the Moon|Gorsetail}}
-====''[[The Forgotten Warrior]]''====
-:{{Alleg|The Forgotten Warrior|Gorsetail}}
-====''[[The Last Hope]]''====
-:Gorsetail appears in a patrol consisting of Owlwhisker, Nightcloud, and [[Crouchfoot|Crouchpaw]] as Jayfeather returns from RiverClan. She helps Jayfeather out of a thornbush using her muzzle. Nightcloud and Crouchpaw call Jayfeather a murderer, and she then silences them, saying he is a Clan cat that needs their help. She asks him if he can walk back to the ThunderClan border by himself, as Owlwhisker inspects him stating he is fit to go. She is padding behind him as they head to the ThunderClan camp. She fights in the WindClan patrol for [[ShadowClan]] against the [[Place of No Stars|Dark Forest]] warriors.
-===In the ''[[A Vision of Shadows]]'' arc===
-====''[[The Apprentice's Quest]]''====
-:{{Alleg|The Apprentice's Quest|Gorsetail}}
-====''[[Thunder and Shadow]]''====
-:As [[Kestrelflight]] arrives for the [[Medicine cat|medicine cat]] meeting, Gorsetail and Sedgewhisker stiffly follows him. The other [[Medicine|medicine]] cats protest about their presence, but Gorsetail reassures they are not staying. She halts as the medicine cat reaches the [[Moonpool]]. Kestrelflight tells the cats are there due to Onestar ordering so and says to his Clanmates they can go. Gorsetail climbs up the slope after Sedgewhisker to wait outside the hollow. Leafpool asks why Gorsetail and Sedgewhisker were prickly and Kestrelflight replies that Onestar has been heavily reinforcing rules and punishing any cats that break them.
-:When Leafpool and [[Alderheart|Alderpaw]] enter WindClan, Gorsetail's fur is glimpsed among the long grass. Leafpool calls to her and [[Emberfoot]] and the cats jerk their heads, anger in their eyes. Leafpool states they need to visit Kestrelflight and Gorsetail asks what for. Leafpool replies that it’s medicine cat business and the two WindClan cats flatten their ears in mistrust. Gorsetail eventually grudgingly agrees to take them to their medicine cat. They led the two cats to WindClan camp and when they arrive, Gorsetail nods to a gorse wall and informs the medicine cats Kestrelflight is in there.
-====''[[Shattered Sky]]''====
-:Gorsetail is the lead of a patrol consisting of her, [[Oatclaw]], and [[Featherpelt]]. They stand behind her as she asks Crowfeather what is going on as he faces a ThunderClan patrol. Crowfeather explains that the ThunderClan patrol want to speak to Onestar but he doesn't want to see them. Bramblestar adds they have very important information and Gorsetail glances at the [[Leader|leader]] for a moment, drawing a paw over an ear. She eventually suggests that Onestar would want to hear what Bramblestar has to say, and declares they had better escort them to WindClan's camp. Crowfeather asks the she-cat if she is mouse-brained, as she was standing next to him when Onestar ordered all cats to be kept out of the territory.
-:Gorsetail tells Crowfeather that he is mouse-brained himself as Bramblestar wouldn't come if there was something Onestar didn't need to know, and she'll take responsibility for it if it bothers him that much. Crowfeather mutters and tells her to not come crying to him if Onestar decides to claws her ears, to which Gorsetail dryly states she will take the risk. The she-cat watches Crowfeather's patrol leave before turning to the ThunderClan patrol, telling them to hurry up and that whatever they have to say had better be good. Bramblestar follows her up the slope and when they're close to the camp, Gorsetail sends Oatclaw to warn Onestar of their arrival.
-:After the ThunderClan cats talk to Onestar, she says that she will escort them to the border, beckoning to a few of her Clanmates to join her with a whisk of her tail. The ThunderClan cats stay quiet, as they see no point in talking to the WindClan warriors.
-:When Onestar tells of how he used to go off and make friends with kittypets and [[Whitetail (WC)|Whitetail]] says she cannot believe their leader would do this, Gorsetail points out he wasn't Clan leader then.
-====''[[Darkest Night]]''====
-:{{alleg|Darkest Night|Gorsetail}}
-====''[[River of Fire]]''====
-:Gorsetail, along with Nightcloud, and Nightcloud's apprentice, [[Brindlewing|Brindlepaw]], are seen racing towards RiverClan's territory. They meet with a ThunderClan patrol, and Gorsetail, panting, asks if [[Sparkpelt]], [[Larksong (SS)|Larksong]], and the others are also headed towards RiverClan's territory to investigate the fire that is raging through RiverClan's land. Anxious, Gorsetail worries that RiverClan would not accept their help, due to the borders being closed.
