== History ==
 
===In the ''[[Super Editions]]''===
 
====''[[Crookedstar's Promise]]''====
 
:Rosepaw is not seen, but is asked after by [[Crookedstar|Crookedjaw]] at a [[Gathering]]. He asks [[Poppydawn]] and [[Windflight]] where she, [[Sweetpaw]], and [[Thistleclaw|Thistlepaw]] were. Poppydawn says that Thistlepaw had gotten into trouble with [[Smallear]] again, and Windflight says that she and Sweetpaw had stayed behind to comfort him. Crookedjaw says they sound loyal, and Poppydawn proudly replies that they are.
 
 
:Rosetail is later seen at another Gathering, although her name is not mentioned. When Crookedjaw spots Bluefur in the crowd, Rosetail is seen staring at [[Oakheart]] as though she was watching a [[StarClan]] [[Warrior|warrior]] speak.
 
 
====''[[Bluestar's Prophecy]]''====
 
:Rosekit is the daughter of Poppydawn and Windflight, along with her littermates Sweetkit and Thistlekit. [[Snowfur|Snowkit]] names her because of her pinkish-orange tail. Bluekit states that she and her littermates are growing very fast. When Bluekit and Snowkit are made [[Apprentice|apprentices]], she, Sweetkit, and Thistlekit come dashing up to them, excited that they are apprentices. Rosekit mentions that she'll miss them in the [[Nursery|nursery]]. She and Thistlekit play beside the fallen tree.
 
 
:Rosekit plays with a moss ball as Thistlekit asks her to play outside. She complains that it is cold and windy. She mentions that when [[Featherwhisker]] brought a [[Prey#Mice|mouse]] into the [[Camp|camp]], he said that rain was coming. When [[Speckletail]] tells all the [[Kit|kits]] to go outside and get some fresh-air, Rosekit worries if the rain is coming. She stops playing with her moss ball, and Thistlekit nudges the kits outside and promises to protect them from the rain.
 
 
:When [[Moonflower]] dies during the battle with [[WindClan]], she is carried back and Rosekit sees her and asks what's wrong with her. She finds out from the other [[General Clan information|Clan]] cats that she is dead. She and her littermates are stunned at the sight of a dead cat.
 
 
:She becomes a new apprentice with [[Tawnyspots]] as her [[Mentor|mentor]] with her littermates, although her ceremony is not shown. When [[Lionheart|Lionpaw]] moves into the apprentices den, Bluepaw remarks that Rosepaw, Thistlepaw, and Sweetpaw always purr and fidget when he is in the den.
 
 
:Rosepaw teases Sweetpaw about a battle move when she bumps into Bluepaw, when she and Smallear catch up to her. Tawnyspots takes Rosepaw to collect the thick, waxy leaves on the bush near the [[ShadowClan]] [[Border|border]] to help keep the nests dry. The [[Patrol|patrol]] later returns with a huge pile of the leaves, and Rosepaw passes the leaves to Snowpaw to block the leaks of water.
 
 
:[[Pinestar]] calls Rosepaw and some other warriors to wait at the top of the ravine when [[ThunderClan]] tries to take back [[Sunningrocks]]. Rosepaw and her group of warriors see no sign of invasion while the rest of the Clan was fighting [[RiverClan]]. Later, she and Sweetpaw practice their battle moves on each other, beyond the undergrowth.
 
 
:She is later sent out on a hunting patrol by [[Sunstar|Sunfall]] with Tawnyspots, Bluefur, and Thrushpelt. Bluefur is later delayed to the hunting patrol by Pinestar though.
 
 
:During [[Leopardfoot|Leopardfoot's]] kitting, she shares a bad mouse with Sweetpaw, and her friend Bluefur. All three of them suffer from bellyaches the next sunrise. Rosepaw makes a lot of dirt while she is sick. Poppydawn worries about her kits when they are ill. When Bluefur checks on them, Rosepaw tells her that she feels better, but Sweetpaw stays sick and dies. Rosepaw, Poppydawn, and Thistleclaw sit vigil for her in grief.
 
 
:Rosepaw patrols the [[RiverClan]] border with Sunfall, Swiftbreeze, Tawnyspots, Lionpaw, and Bluefur. They find RiverClan warriors crossing the border, and Lionpaw is sent to get help. When he returns with more warriors, ThunderClan attacks. Rosepaw is directed to go with some other cats and strike the flank of the enemy's ranks. Rosepaw is cornered by two RiverClan warriors, but Bluefur and Snowfur help her fight them off.
 
 
:Her mentor, Tawnyspots, becomes the [[Deputy|deputy]] after Pinestar leaves the Clan to become a [[Kittypet|kittypet]] and Sunstar becomes Clan leader. Rosepaw is shown to be very proud of her mentor. During the same meeting, Rosepaw is awarded her warrior name, Rosetail.
 
 
:Rosetail teases Bluefur about how Thrushpelt is in love with her, and how she thinks that Bluefur is mooning over him, like when Snowfur moons over Thistleclaw, after she falls into the river during her encounter with Oakheart. She goes to fetch moss for [[Whitestorm|Whitekit]], and tells Bluefur that he was chasing Snowfur's tail all morning. She states that [[Tigerstar (TPB)|Tigerkit]] might have a bad influence on him, but Leopardfoot wouldn't stop his dirty little tricks because she thinks Tigerkit can do no wrong.
 
 
:Rosetail sits beside Bluefur at the Gathering. She mentions that [[WindClan]] is looking plump. When Oakheart speaks for [[RiverClan]], instead of reflecting Bluefur's disgust with him, she sighs dreamily, and asks why there couldn't be such handsome toms in ThunderClan too.
 
 
:Rosetail keeps on teasing Bluefur about Thrushpelt's love for her, and states that she and him make a good couple, although Bluefur keeps on reminding her they're just friends. Rosetail gossips with Bluefur who the new deputy could be after Tawnyspots steps down from his deputy position due to sickness. Rosetail suggests [[Adderfang]] and her brother Thistleclaw. Although Bluefur thinks he is too blood-thirsty and young, Rosetail thinks he would be a good deputy, just that he would lead ThunderClan into too many unnecessary battles.
 
 
:Bluefur sits beside Rosetail during the Clan meeting when Tigerkit is made an apprentice. Rosetail says to Bluefur that now that Thistleclaw had got Tigerpaw as an apprentice, he would think he has more of a chance to believe he will be the next deputy.
 
 
:Bluefur eats a piece of fresh-kill with Rosetail. Rosetail mentions that she wishes she had a cat mooning over her like Thrushpelt does to Bluefur. She also tells Bluefur that she can see she has her eye on the deputy position. Bluefur gets snappy with Rosetail, saying that she is not mooning over him and it doesn't matter if she wants to become deputy.
 
 
:Rosetail is surprised when she hears that Bluefur will be having kits. She thinks that Thrushpelt is the father. She and Leopardfoot sleep beside Bluefur, supporting her. Rosetail later congratulates Thrushpelt on becoming a father, even after Bluefur told her not to tell him. She uses Rosetail as an excuse to get away from Thrushpelt when he tells her what a good mother she'd make.
 
 
=== In ''[[The Prophecies Begin]]'' arc ===
 
==== ''[[Into the Wild]]'' ====
 
:Rosetail is not mentioned in the [[Into the Wild/Allegiances|allegiances]], but is seen during the first battle against [[ShadowClan]]. Being an elder, her role in the battle is to guard the nursery, where [[Frostfur]] and [[Goldenflower|Goldenflower's]] kits are sheltering. [[Firestar|Firepaw]] sees that she was killed by the ShadowClan deputy, [[Blackstar|Blackfoot]], and dragged viciously from the nursery, and the former ShadowClan [[Medicine cat|medicine cat]], [[Yellowfang]], takes her place, fighting off the strong ShadowClan deputy.
 
 
===In the ''[[Novellas]]''===
 
====''[[Pinestar's Choice]]''====
 
:Although not mentioned, she would be sitting next to Bluefur and Lionpaw when Pinestar announces to the Clan that he is leaving to become a kittypet.
 
 
====''[[Spottedleaf's Heart]]''====
 
:Featherwhisker mentions that Rosetail gathered [[Medicine#Tansy|tansy]] and [[Medicine#Marigold|marigold]] for him the previous day but she let the leaves get mixed up. When [[Spottedleaf|Spottedpaw]] is looking for [[Stormtail]], Bluefur suggests he stopped to check the scent marker beside the Thunderpath, but Rosetail pops out from the grass and explains she just did that one. They find Stormtail collapsed so Speckletail orders Rosetail to take his haunch weight so they can get him to camp.
 
 
:As the Clan talks about Bluefur’s pregnancy, Rosetail asks if they will know who the father is by the time her kits become warriors. [[Fuzzypelt]] believes that Thrushpelt is the father and Rosetail agrees she cannot see who else it could be. Keeping her voice quiet, she asks Fuzzypelt if he has seen the two together. Later, Rosetail is seen talking to Bluefur around a tree stump.
 
 
===In the ''[[Field Guides]]''===
 
==== ''[[Secrets of the Clans]]'' ====
 
:Goldenflower mentions Rosetail, and remarks that she would have done the same thing during the battle with ShadowClan if she had been in Rosetail's position, protecting the nursery and the kits from Blackfoot, the ShadowClan deputy. However, since Goldenflower was nursing [[Swiftpaw (TPB)|Swiftkit]] at the time, she didn't have the chance.
 
 
==== ''[[Code of the Clans]]'' ====
 
:In "A Dark Path Chosen", she is next to her dead mother, Poppydawn, when she dies of [[Diseases and injuries#Chest Infections|greencough]], and is clearly distraught at her mother's death, wailing for Poppydawn to not leave her.
 
 
:In "Pinestar's Secret", she is seen sitting next to Bluefur and Lionpaw, when Pinestar announces to the Clan that he is leaving to become a kittypet.
