"Appledusk will live on in his kits, and in their kits, and their kits in turn. His spirit will not die. He will be part of RiverClan forever!"
Reedshine about Appledusk's kin in Mapleshade's Vengeance, chapter 9


Willownose is a gray tabby[5] she-cat.[1][4]

History[]

In the Super Editions[]

Crookedstar's Promise[]

"[...] But what made it worse was that the father of my drowned kits took a RiverClan mate! He promised he would only love me! They had a daughter, and she had a son, and do you know who that son was? Shellheart. Your father."
―Mapleshade to Crookedstar about his lineage Crookedstar's Promise, page 480
Following the death of Willowbreeze, Willowkit and Minnowkit, Crookedstar challenges Mapleshade in the Dark Forest but she overpowers him. She tells him about the death of her kits when she was cast out from ThunderClan for taking a RiverClan mate. Her former mate had a litter of RiverClan kits, including Shellheart's mother.

Mapleshade's Vengeance[]

Reedshine: "Appledusk will live on in his kits, and in their kits, and their kits in turn. His spirit will not die. He will be part of RiverClan forever!"
Mapleshade: "Then I will watch over all your kin and punish each one for what you did to me."
—Reedshine and Mapleshade about Appledusk's kin Mapleshade's Vengeance, chapter 9
Mapleshade watches as Appledusk trains his apprentice, Perchpaw. Reedshine, Appledusk's mate, arrives and offers to pounce to show how it's done. Appledusk mews she's not doing anything and reminds her to think of their kits. Reedshine looks at her belly that's barely swollen from her unborn kits. She complains she's not sick. Appledusk meows he knows she's not, but their kits are too precious to risk Perchpaw injuring her by mistake. Mapleshade wonders how Reedshine could be expecting kits already.
Later on, after Mapleshade confronts Appledusk, Reedshine arrives, wondering what's going on. Mapleshade hurls herself at her, screeching that she and her kits must die. Appledusk jumps in the way and takes the blow, protecting Reedshine and their unborn kits. Reedshine tells Mapleshade that Appledusk will live on in their kits, and in their kits and so on. Mapleshade decides to watch over all her kin and punish each one for what she did. She thinks later that Appledusk's kin will mourn the day he destroyed her life.
