Sunpelt (SkC)

"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."

Sunpelt is an ancient SkyClan cat under Spiderstar's leadership in the gorge.

In SkyClan's Destiny, Sunpelt dies along with Fallensnow after the final battle between the rats and SkyClan. Their Clanmates could not rescue either of their bodies, because it would have risked more cats dying. The Clan then debates about whether or not they should have brought Sunpelt and Fallensnow's bodies back after the battle so they could sit vigil for them, but then in the end, they decide it was best Sunpelt and Fallensnow were left behind. Oakstep, though, strongly disagrees with their choice. He tries to go and salvage the bodies, but Spiderstar stops him.

Quotes

Oakstep: "What? Sunpelt and Fallensnow are dead? Then where are their bodies? We must sit vigil for them and bury them."

Swallowflight: "Oakstep, we had to leave them behind. We were too busy fleeing to save our own pelts to carry our fallen Clanmates."

^{SkyClan's Destiny, page 3}

"But if you had brought them back we could have buried them! Where is the honor in leaving them to be picked over by the rats? Sunpelt and Fallensnow should never be crow-food!"

―Oakstep ^{SkyClan's Destiny, page 3}
