Weaselkit! The ill fated child of Pinenose, only appears on page as a dead body during the battle with the Dark Forest in Omen of the Stars. At least, the kit is probably Pinenose's kit as Pine is the one who cries over her dead body, but Pinenose was never previously listed as a queen in the allegiances, and was only named a warrior in the previous book. Given the pacing of Oots It's possible that this was just a throw-away detail but Ivytail was a queen in the first half of the arc, and never has a confirmed litter despite interacting with Flametail during his point of view chapters close to kitting. Regardless, fandom largely considers Pinenose to be the mother, and so that is how I designed little Weaselkit. I also arbitrarily decided that Starlingwing would be the father, as I wanted to make the kit red to be weasel like, and Pine and Starling were made warriors at the same time and would be close socially for it to be possible. Spikefur, Pinenose's confirmed mate, was not even introduced as an apprentice at this time so he was not considered.

sure i can incorporate this into my worldview
Shrewfoot! First appeared in the allegiances in Eclipse, her Mentor was listed as Ratscar. She has a little bit of characterization in Night whispers, during Flametails chapters, where she asks flametail to check her paw which is sprained. He goes to get her some poppy seed and Littlecloud intervenes and tells him how to wrap it in comfrey instead, since Shrewfoot sleeps too heavily on poppy seed. This is the first time I think I've seen something like a medication sensitivity in warriorcats, and think it would be pretty cool if investigated further. I think it's probably just that, but there is a possibility that Shrewfoot had some medical peculiarities that under certain circumstances were a limitation, and I wish (as a nerd) that there was more instances of either sensitivity or resistance covered in the training of medicine cats, and how often that may cause difficult illness or complicated recovery strategies. Perhaps it is why as such a young warrior she didn't survive the Great Battle, not as a primariy trauma but a battle and failure with illness due to drug resistance. But that is just speculation and I digress!
She is seen in the background of a few scenes in Night Whispers and doesn't appear on page again until the Last Hope. She is among the cats named as having perished in the battle with the Dark Forest, yet accidentally appears alive talking to Tigerheart in Dovewing's silence. The only speaking lines she has that are memorable happen in battles of the clans in a scene where Tigerheart is teaching shadowclan apprentices how to ambush patrols for battle. She's not a confirmed member of starclan in that we have seen her on page there but we can presume so since she fought on the side of the clans and was never seen in the dark forest.
