Coriander (BrS)

"I know I won't survive this. But that's okay, because I'm bringing new life into the world. As long as you promise that you'll raise our kits the way I've asked you, I'll be at peace. [...] I need to know you can do this without me. You can't let me die not knowing whether my kits will be okay. You have to promise."

History

In the A Vision of Shadows arc

River of Fire

While passing the horseplace, Alderheart notes that Smoky and Coriander both live there.

In the Super Editions

Bramblestar's Storm

"This is Coriander. She replaced Floss. She's a great mouser!"

―Smoky introducing Coriander to Daisy and Bramblestar ^{Bramblestar's Storm, page 67}

When Daisy and Bramblestar take a trip to Smoky's barn, they encounter Coriander. The tortoiseshell she-cat is Smoky's new denmate, replacing Floss. Daisy first encounters the loner when Smoky leads her to where he had buried Floss and Pip, one of the dogs who lived near there. She questions Coriander and asks who she is. Smoky replies that she's Floss' replacement, shocking Daisy in the process, who thought that Smoky loved Floss.

Coriander approaches the two ThunderClan cats, and Bramblestar dips his head in greeting. Although Coriander doesn't return the greeting, she notes that Daisy and Bramblestar must be those weird forest cats. She asks what they're doing at the barn, and Daisy replies that they're just visiting. She then inquires if it was Smoky and Coriander watching ThunderClan the previous night as they traveled to the Gathering. Smoky admits they were watching the Clan, and he explains that Coriander wanted to see who the forest cats were.

This encounter greatly upsets Daisy, and she says everything has changed since she was in the barn last. She asks where Smoky's nest is, and he replies that Coriander found a corner where it was less drafty. Coriander happily replies that it was so comfortable, and this angers Daisy. She and Bramblestar soon decide that it's time to go, and Smoky doesn't hesitate to let her go. Coriander warns Daisy and Bramblestar to watch out for the horses, saying that the horses can be quite scary if a cat doesn't know how to handle them properly.

Daisy: "Just visiting. Was that you watching us go to the island last night?"

^{Bramblestar's Storm, pages 67-68}

Coriander: "Smoky...Smoky...Smoky, you have to promise me...don't let the Nofurs take our kits."
