"What did we really gain by moving to the lake? What kind of leader have I been?"
This article contains major spoilers for the recently released book, The Elders' Quest. Please proceed at your own discretion.
"I haven't joined ThunderClan just for Nightheart. I love him, and he was the reason I chose ThunderClan, but there's more to my decision than love. In the time I've spent living with ThunderClan, in hunting and patrolling with them, and in taking the trials, I've realized it's where I belong. They have been kind to me and welcoming and fair. ShadowClan was good to me, and I'm grateful for everything my Clanmates did for me. But I wanted to follow my own path, and it led me to ThunderClan. I have friends here now, and cats who are more like kin than my own kin. I'm proud to be a ThunderClan warrior."
— Sunbeam about joining ThunderClan in Thunder, pages 316-317


Sunbeam is a medium-furred[15] brown tabby she-cat[16] with white patches,[17] yellow eyes,[18] soft,[19] glossy fur,[20] and a fluffy tail.[15]

Sunbeam is a ThunderClan warrior under Squirrelstar's leadership, previously a ShadowClan warrior under Tigerstar's leadership, in the lake territories. Sunkit and her brothers, Spirekit and Hollowkit, were born to Sparrowtail and Berryheart on their trek back to ShadowClan, their parents having fled the Clans during the reign of the Kin. She eventually became an apprentice named Sunpaw under the mentorship of Snaketooth and earned her Warrior name, Sunbeam. Sunbeam formed a close relationship with Blazefire since they knew each other as kits and had plans to become mates one day. However, Blazefire realized he loved Lightleap instead, breaking Sunbeam's heart.

After the Clan leaders accepted changes to the warrior code, including cats switching Clans to be with their mates, Sunbeam came into conflict with her mother's staunch beliefs. Nightheart of ThunderClan left his Clan to be with Sunbeam after they bonded during a mission to fetch catmint, and Sunbeam later joined him in ThunderClan after he returned to his birth Clan, under Squirrelstar's new leadership. After the death of her mother and Splashtail's defeat, Sunbeam and Nightheart had two kits, Goldenkit and Shinekit. She also mentored Moonpaw.

Quick Answers

What led to Sunbeam's transition from a ShadowClan warrior to a ThunderClan warrior? toggle section

After Nightheart left his Clan for Sunbeam and eventually returned to ThunderClan, Sunbeam left her Clan to be with him in ShadowClan. Eventually, Sunbeam realized that her place was in ThunderClan as a loyal warrior.

Sunbeam was born as a rogue after her parents fled ShadowClan following Darktail's reign. Berryheart, Sparrowtail, Slatefur, and Cloverfoot were eventually found by Tigerheart and his patrol, who were journeying back to the Clans from the city, who joined them on their quest home. Sunkit and her littermates were born shortly after, and the group waited until Berryheart's kits were strong enough to make the return journey back. She was also close with Blazepaw, a fellow traveler, during her youth.

A Starless Clan

"Your Clan is the one you protect. And from now on, I will protect ThunderClan."
―Sunbeam to Graykit, Bristlekit, and Stemkit Thunder, page 72
Sunbeam is a ShadowClan warrior who aspires to be a mentor and mates with her close friend, Blazefire. However, Blazefire instead has feelings for Sunbeam's best friend, Lightleap. Heartbroken, Sunbeam's close friendship with Lightleap and Blazefire deteriorated. Meanwhile, Sunbeam grows increasingly worried about her mother Berryheart's volatile behavior towards the changes to the warrior code and Tigerstar's takeover of RiverClan when they suffer through a leadership crisis. Sunbeam and Lightleap are chosen to represent ShadowClan on a journey to find more catmint for the Clans, and Sunbeam befriends Nightheart of ThunderClan. However, she is surprised when he abruptly leaves his Clan to be with her, causing another rift to form between Sunbeam and her mother.
Nightheart's devotion and earnest eventually win Sunbeam over as she helps him practice for his three trials conspired by Berryheart. As ShadowClan grows more divided and Nightheart realizes his Clan needs him, Sunbeam leaves ShadowClan to follow Nightheart in ThunderClan. With Nightheart gone with Frostpaw on a mission from StarClan, Sunbeam successfully completes her three trials to become a ThunderClan warrior. However, she grows increasingly concerned when Berryheart, Sparrowtail, and Hollowspring are exiled and join RiverClan under Splashtail's leadership. She, Nightheart, and Frostpaw help Mothwing, Duskfur, and Icewing escape to ShadowClan, where they are tricked and attacked by RiverClan. Berryheart's attempts to use subterfuge against Splashtail fail, and Berryheart sacrifices herself to save Sunbeam. Sunbeam grows conflicted about her mother's sacrifice. Two moons later, she and Nightheart are expecting a litter of kits.

«Can I wait while Berryheart's kits find their traveling paws? I'll have to.»
—Tigerheart's thoughts about returning to ShadowClan Tigerheart's Shadow, page 373
In Tigerheart's Shadow, Sunkit, Spirekit, and Hollowkit are born to Berryheart and Sparrowtail during their parents' exile from ShadowClan. The kits are born the night after Spiresight drowns saving Pouncekit. Fervent to return to ShadowClan after moons of being away, Tigerheart reluctantly agrees that the group should wait until the kits are strong enough to resume travel. A moon later, Berryheart agrees that her kits might be ready to resume the journey. However, an owl attacks their temporary camp, and Tigerheart saves Hollowkit. Tigerheart's wounds are fatal, though the group carries him back to the Moonpool, where he is revived as Tigerstar.

Personality and traits

"Sunbeam, ever since you were a kit, you've been obsessed with following the rules, but you're old enough now to understand that life isn't always neat and orderly. Sometimes you have to accept that things are messy."
―Berryheart to Sunbeam Shadow, page 181
Sunbeam is dedicated, honest,[21] a rule-follower,[22][21] patient,[23] and at times insecure.[24] At times, she can be pessimistic, especially when she worries about the future of the Clans.[25] Her mother instilled within Sunbeam to serve her Clan with utmost loyalty,[26] and Sunbeam continued this passion to serve ThunderClan when she realized she was happier there.[27][23][28] Sunbeam also had aspirations to become a mentor one day.[21][23]

Relationships

Berryheart

«Sunbeam could hardly believe her ears. Was this the cat who had raised her? What had happened to the cat who had given her badger rides after a long day's patrolling, and sat beside her through the night when she'd had whitecough, and taught her to share prey with her littermates?»
—Sunbeam's thoughts about her mother Sky, page 266
Berryheart gave birth to her second litter of kits during her self-imposed exile from ShadowClan.[29] Berryheart was protective of her kits, wanting to make sure they were strong enough before the patrol resumed their trek.[5] After the death of Sunbeam's older sister Needletail, Berryheart instilled within her new litter a strong commitment to serving their Clan and obeying the warrior code.[26] Berryheart was one of the first cats to protest against the changes to the warrior code,[30] and Sunbeam grew worried about her mother's strong opposition while joining her secret meetings.[31][32] When Sunbeam discovered that Berryheart tricked Fringewhisker into giving prey to SkyClan only to accuse her of betraying the Clan, Sunbeam realized that her mother was not going to change her mind about the Clan-swappers. She decided to distance herself from her mother's meetings.[33] When Nightheart joined the Clan to be with Sunbeam, Berryheart berated her daughter and accused her of betraying the Clan by falling in love with a ThunderClan warrior.[34] Berryheart continued to antagonize Nightheart, though she comforted her daughter after he failed his final trial.[35] When Sunbeam joined ThunderClan to be with Nightheart, Berryheart attempted to convince her daughter to change her mind, but Sunbeam remained firm in her decision. However, she felt hurt by her mother's sharp words.[27] After Berryheart, Sparrowtail, and Hollowspring were exiled from ShadowClan,[36] Sunbeam grew worried when she heard that Berryheart was injured, acknowledging that Berryheart was still her mother despite how much she hurt her daughter.[37] To Sunbeam's horror, her mother was appointed deputy of RiverClan after Splashtail killed Harelight.[38]

Sparrowtail, Spireclaw, and Hollowspring

"I am, but not for myself, or for any cat in ThunderClan. We all have one another, and we'll see each other through. But my kin are out there somewhere, and they don't have a Clan to protect them. I can't help fearing the worst."
―Sunbeam worrying about her family Wind, page 213
Sunkit and her littermates were born outside of the Clan territory and spent their first moon as loners[29] before returning to ShadowClan.[39] Her brother Spireclaw attempted to comfort her after Blazefire rejected Sunbeam's feelings.[26] Spireclaw was one of the first to congratulate his sister when Nightheart joined ShadowClan to be with Sunbeam, happy that she'll finally be happy with a mate after Blazefire and Lightleap got together.[34] Spireclaw remained friendly with Sunbeam after she joined ThunderClan,[40] though their father Sparrowtail was bewildered by Sunbeam's decision.[41] After Berryheart, Sparrowtail, and Hollowspring were exiled from ShadowClan,[36] Sunbeam grew worried when she heard that Berryheart was injured and ventured to help her family with stolen herbs.[37][42] To Sunbeam's horror, Berryheart, Sparrowtail, and Hollowspring joined Splashtail's RiverClan.[43]

Nightheart

"I want to be here. With Nightheart. I've made my choice. I'm going to be a ThunderClan warrior, and I'm going to be loyal one."
―Sunbeam to her mother Thunder, page 33
Nightheart (ASC).ASC-2

Sunbeam joined ThunderClan to become Nightheart's mate, and the two were always willing to listen to each other

Sunbeam first met Flamepaw at a Gathering when she admonished other apprentices for teasing him.[44] At another Gathering, the two found comfort in listening to each other's worries, with Sunbeam upset about Blazefire's rejection and her mother's outspoken disapproval for Spireclaw's relationship with Fringewhisker.[30] The two befriended each other during the journey to find more catmint, and the two bonded over their shared quarrels.[45] Together, they stole Twoleg prey from the night carnival.[46] Sunbeam was shocked when Nightheart abruptly joined ShadowClan to be her mate. Nightheart promised his devotion to her and vowed that it would be her decision if they became mates or stayed as friends; Sunbeam found his earnest behavior and devotion charming.[34][24] She sometimes felt slightly unsure about his devotion towards her,[24] but Sunbeam felt relieved to have someone to speak freely to about her worries about Berryheart.[22] Sunbeam's heart broke when Nightheart purposefully failed his final trial when he realized his Clan needed him,[35] but Sunbeam decided to join ThunderClan to be with him.[47] While ThunderClan warmly welcomed her,[34] Sunbeam began to briefly doubt Nightheart's loyalty when he suddenly vanished, though Squirrelstar reassured that he was on a mission from StarClan.[40] Upon Nightheart's return to ThunderClan, the pair became mates and planned to have kits eventually in the future.[48] Sunbeam and Nightheart are perceptive of each other's feelings, always willing to listen and help each other despite their own worries.[37][48][49]

Lightleap

"I'm so happy you've found some cat. I'm sorry that I came between you and Blazefire. I hope you know I didn't intend to—well, I didn't mean to hurt you."
―Lightleap to Sunbeam Shadow, page 108
Sunkit and Lightkit were also part of Tigerheart's patrol back to the Clans, and the two litters of kits played together.[5] The two grew up together, and Lightleap became Sunbeam's best friend.[50] However, Sunbeam grew worried about her friend's reckless behavior after Lightleap was too afraid to enter the Dark Forest.[21] When Sunbeam told Shadowsight about how his sister's resulted in Sunbeam getting injured, Lightleap blamed Sunbeam for tattling on her.[51] Sunbeam's frustration towards her friend grew when Lightleap and Blazefire, Sunbeam's crush, grew closer together.[52] Sunbeam was irritated that Lightleap was chosen to join the catmint patrol,[45][46] though Sunbeam felt sympathy for her friend when Rowankit died.[32] Eventually Lightleap and Blazefire became mates, breaking Sunbeam's heart.[53] While guarding RiverClan's camp, Lightleap and Sunbeam made amends.[54]

Blazefire

"I did love Blazefire when I was a kit. I had a crush on him, and maybe there was some hero worship. He wasn't much more than a kit himself. I assumed we would be mates, and I never realized that we had both grown up into very different cats. I still love him, but as a Clanmate, not as a mate. He and Lightleap are much better suited to each other."
―Sunbeam about her relationship with Blazefire Shadow, page 142
Sunkit and Blaze were also part of Tigerheart's patrol to journey back to the Clans.[5] The two grew up together, and Sunbeam thought she loved Blazefire since they were kits.[50] Blazefire was someone Sunbeam frequently confided with,[51] but Blazefire politely declined her wish to become mates.[55] Sunbeam wondered if he loved Lightleap, Sunbeam's best friend, when the two grew closer. Though Blazefire initially declined this,[26] he and Lightleap eventually became mates.[53] Sunbeam continued to worry for Blazefire when greencough threatened the Clans during a catmint shortage,[56] though eventually accepted his relationship with Lightleap.[54][24]

Quotes

Sunbeam: "I'm sure I'll get an apprentice soon. Then I'll have to run around after them all the time. It's still a ways off, but in a few moons, Dovewing and Tigerstar's kits will need mentors. And Cinnamontail will have her kits with Slatefur any day now."
Blazefire: "Well, I hope it's a good long time before I get an apprentice. I like being able to do what I want, when I want."
Sunbeam: "Oh, you're such a rebel! But still, we'll be helping the Clan by training apprentices, and that's important."
Blazefire: "That's exactly what Tigerstar would want you to say. What a perfect little ShadowClan warrior you are!"
—Sunbeam and Blazefire enjoying a quiet morning River, page 34


«Oh, Blazefire, I know that something is really, really wrong! And what in StarClan's name am I going to do about it?»
—Sunbeam's thoughts about trouble in RiverClan River, page 106


Sunbeam: "It's okay. I mean, you should have known better than to go into that tunnel! But you'll recover, and then everything will be fine, and we..."
Blazefire: "I wanted to tell you...I was planning to tell you...I do love you, I think I always will, but I don't think we're a good match to be mates. We're just too different. And it wouldn't be fair to make you wait while I recover—if I ever do—and then not have it work out. Are you okay?"
Sunbeam: "Yes, I'm okay. You don't have to worry about me. I just thought you were a different cat."
—Blazefire revealing his feelings to Sunbeam River, pages 165-166


"I'll never believe you're right. Not over this. Not ever. From now on, leave me out of your meetings. Keep your opinions to yourself. I don't want to hear them."
―Sunbeam to Berryheart Sky, page 268


Nightheart: "Are you happy I came to see you?"
Sunbeam: "Sure. But why are you here? It's dangerous."
Nightheart: "I just wanted to see a friendly face."
Sunbeam: "Are you still having a hard time in ThunderClan?"
Nightheart: "No cat appreciates me there. I don't fit in at all. Even Sparkpelt and Finchlight don't want me around."
Sunbeam: "I'm sure that's not true."
Nightheart: "It feels true. Do you remember when we caught the rabbit on the way to the Twolegplace?"
Sunbeam: "Yes."
Nightheart: "You didn't boss me around or tell me I didn't have enough experience. You were the first cat to treat me like a real warrior."
Sunbeam: "You are a real warrior."
Nightheart: "If only my Clanmates thought so. It's like you're the only cat who really sees me."
Sunbeam: "I know how you feel."
—Nightheart and Sunbeam Sky, pages 282-283

Nightheart: "And you think inter-Clan relationships are fine?"
Sunbeam: "I think they make the Clans stronger. Berryheart is stuck in the past, that's all. She thinks that all cats from outside ShadowClan must be rogues, even if they're warriors. But the Clans have changed since she was young. We're all closer now, and it makes sense for cats to choose who to love and where to raise their kits."
Nightheart: "So if one day I, say, wanted to join ShadowClan...that would be okay with you?"
Sunbeam: "Sure. We need all the strong, young warriors we can get."
—Nightheart to Sunbeam about joining ShadowClan Sky, page 284


Sunbeam: "Nightheart, what in the name of StarClan are you doing? We barely know each other—how can we be mates? I don't know if I want a mate!"
Nightheart: "I'm sorry..."
Sunbeam: "I shouldn't have snapped at you. I'm flattered, sort of. But honestly, Nightheart, couldn't you have told me how you felt, instead of just showing up in my Clan with no warning?"
Nightheart: "I suppose you're right. I admit I rushed it, and I'm really sorry. But I do really like you, Sunbeam, and I want to get to know you better. How could I do that while I was trapped in ThunderClan?"
Sunbeam: "You could still have talked to me first."
Nightheart: "I know. Please forgive me, and give me a chance to prove myself, to you and your Clan."
Sunbeam: "I forgive you, Nightheart. But I need time to think about what I want. What will you do if my answer is no?"
Nightheart: "The choice will be yours. If you really don't want me around, I'll leave. But I hope that if we don't end up being mates, you'll be okay if I stay so we can still be friends and Clanmates."
—Sunbeam and Nightheart after the latter joins ShadowClan Shadow, pages 18-20


Nightheart: "I'm sorry...so sorry. I wish I could have told you. I wanted to, but there was no time—I only realized this morning. And I knew I had to fail this task. If I'd just left, every cat would have said it was because I didn't want to be with you anymore. And I do, Sunbeam, oh, I do. I care about you so much. This is the hardest thing I've ever had to face. But...I need to be in ThunderClan right now. I've had trouble with my kin and my former Clanmates, it's true. But they need me. And I think I've grown enough to finally be the warrior I've always wanted to be. When Dovewing took me to ThunderClan to say good-bye, she said that after a while, going to ThunderClan felt like just visiting any other place, because ShadowClan was home. I've tried hard to get there, but...I can't. Each time I go back, I feel it a little more strongly. ThunderClan is my home. I just wish...I wish I didn't have to leave you to get there."
Sunbeam: "'So you were just playing with me. You came to my Clan and made me care about you, Nightheart. I didn't ask you to do that!"
Nightheart: "I'm so sorry. I never expected to feel this way. I came to ShadowClan because I thought you were the best cat I'd ever met. I still do. But...ThunderClan needs me now, more than they ever have before. And I can't leave my Clan."
Sunbeam: "I don't believe this. All I've heard from you since we met is how ThunderClan misunderstands and disrespects you!"
Nightheart: "That's true. But...I think now I can make them see the warrior that I am, not the warrior that they expect me to be. I plan to stand up for myself more, to speak up when I feel misunderstood. It may not be perfect. But I realize how much I still care for my Clanmates. And I think I have to try."
Sunbeam: "If that's true, then I've nothing more to say. You broke my heart."
—Nightheart to Sunbeam about his decision to return to ThunderClan Shadow, pages 255-257

  1. Sunbeam and her brothers' ages are a bit tricky to calculate. River of Fire places their birth in leaf-fall since the entire book takes place during those moons.[6][7] However, Tigerheart's Shadow places their birth in leaf-bare.[8][9] In addition, Sunbeam and her brothers are two moons younger than Shadowsight and his littermates.[10][5]
