Sandstorm

Sandstorm is a sand colored tabby she with brilliant green eyes.

 Birth and Into The Wild  Sandkit is born to Brindleface and Redtail in the forest territories under Bluestar's leadership. She later becomes an apprentice to Whitestorm, along with her best friend Dustpaw. Her father, Redtail, the Clan deputy, Tigerclaw, and other ThunderClan cats go on a patrol to battle RiverClan for Sunningrocks, where Oakheart dies, and Redtail is murdered. During this time, Rusty the kittypet joins ThunderClan and becomes an apprentice, Firepaw. When the patrol returns, Tigerclaw is carrying Redtail's body, claiming that Oakheart killed him, and he killed Oakheart in vengeance for Redtail's death. Sandpaw was deviststed by her father's death, only for her day to be more ruined by the arrival of the kittypet Firepaw. Redtail was also Dustpaw's mentor, and ThunderClan's beloved deputy. That moonhigh, Bluestar must name ThunderClan's new deputy, and appoints Lionheart. Tigerclaw is then outraged by Bluestar not picking him, and Firepaw asks Graypaw why Bluestar didn't choose Tigerclaw as deputy, to which he responds that it's probably because Lionheart has been a warrior longer. After naming Lionheart deputy, the cats of the Clan sit vigil for Redtail. Much, much later, ShadowClan attacks ThunderClan while Bluestar, Firepaw, Graypaw, Ravenpaw, and Tigerclaw are at the Moonstone, and StarClan sends Bluestar a warning while she is in her special dream. Bluestar then wakes up and alerts the rest of her cats, and they rush back to camp. When they get back, they find out that ShadowClan has already attacked. Blackfoot, the ShadowClan deputy, was heading for the nursery, and Frostfur is distressed. Rosetail, a ThunderClan elder, vows to protect the kits, but Blackfoot easily kills her. Yellowfang, a ThunderClan prisoner, attacks Blackfoot, saving the kits. ShadowClan retreats, only for Graypaw to find out that Lionheart was killed in the battle, and grieves for his beloved, lost mentor. Much later, after helping ShadowClan drive out Brokenstar, Firepaw and Graypaw are made warriors, Fireheart and Graystripe. Fireheart then comments to Graystripe, saying that if Sandpaw and Dustpaw would have fought in the battle they'd probably have been made warriors too.

 Fire and Ice 

Fireheart and his patrol had found bones, so Tigerclaw led an attack on ShadowClan, only for Yellowfang to later find out that it wasn’t ShadowClan, but Brokenstar and his rouges. Fireheart sends Brackenpaw after Tigerclaw’s patrol so he doesn’t start a needless battle with ShadowClan. Brokenstar and his rouges attack ThunderClan camp, and Fireheart is the only warrior left in camp. Fireheart tells Brokenstar that he lost once, and he’ll lose again, to which Brokenstar responds that he has more lives then Fireheart. Fireheart tells him that one ThunderClan life is worth ten of his, then giving a warriro’s yowl to attack as the ThunderClan camp explodes into battle. Clawface, the cat who murdered ThunderClan’s former medicine cat, Spottedleaf, attacks Fireheart, almost killing him. Graystripe snatches Clawface off his friend by the throat, killing him. Graystripe drops the body, horrified, to which Fireheart comforts him by saying he saved his life. Brokenstar and Yellowfang are tackling each other, and with a killing swipe, Yellowfang blinds Brokenstar. Fireheart asks if she just killed him, and she looks at him, saying that it wasn’t his last life. The Clsn drives out the rest of the rouges, and yowl in triumph. Bluestar’s patrol returns to the ruffed up camp, asking Fireheart what happened. Fireheart tells her about the battle, and she asks if all the rouges are gone. Fireheart tells her all but Brokenstar are gone, but he is now blind and with Yellowfang. She then asks if anyone is hurt, to which he responds that they just got a few scratches. Bluestar order’s Sandpaw and SwiftPaw to bury Clawface, saying he doesn’t deserve the honor of StarClan, much less a proper burial. Fireheart tells Bluestar how brave Sandpaw and Dustpaw were, and she says it’s time for them to take their Warrior names. They receive the names Sandstorm and Dustpelt, and Sandstorm comments to Whitestorm that she will never stop learning from him, to which he responds that she’ll make a fine warrior.

 Forest of Secrets 

 Rising Storm 

After a normal day in the Clan, Fireheart, now ThunderClan’s deputy, detects a strange scent. He sniffs the air more, finding that it is smoke. Sandstorm is in the clearing, and when Fireheart bursts out from the warriors’ den, she asks what was going on. Fireheart says he smells smoke, and then sees bright flames. He yowls ‘Fire! Fire!’ and the Clan rushes out into the clearing by him. Sandstorm is distressed, and at Whitestorm’s orders, cats pick up the kits and evacuate camp. Sandstorm rushes along side Fireheart to the riverbank where they wait for the rest of their clan mates. Two queens are seen shouldering Blue’star as they help her out of camp and to the rest of the Clan. Fireheart is terrified as he doesn’t see Yellowfang, and asks where the medicine cat is. No one knows, and he realizes she must still be in camp. Cinderpelt offers to go, but Fireheart refused her, saying that it’s too dangerous. Then Sanndstorm volunteers, and he turns her down as well. Graystripe says that he’ll go, and Fireheart finally agrees, saying he’ll come too. They race back into camp while the rest of the Clan swim through the river, seeking shelter in RiverClan. When Fireheart and Graystripe return, the Clan questions where Yellowfang is. Fireheart is in deep grief and shock, and Sandstorm hurries up to him. She asks where Yellowfang is, and he replies that she is dead.
