Shimmertail

Appearance
Shimmertail is an incredibly puffy, thick-furred black, gray, white, and cream-colored queen a bit on the chunky side. She has a pale pink nose, and her eyes are outlines in white that show off her green eyes. She has a distinct pelt that is incredible at holding off water.

Personality
Shimmertail is a happy-go-lucky she-cat that doesn't take things too seriously. However if it is asked of her, she can get incredibly stern, though it happens very rarely. She is not great at combat, but she tries her best. She doesn't tend to meddle in other's business, but watches from afar. She also is known to be a bit of a gossip, but she never tries to talk bad about others.

Appearance in Books
The Cursed Blood

In Chapter Six, Shimmerpaw is called over by Pebbleshore, who greets Maplepaw with a friendly mew and asks how she likes being an apprentice. Maplepaw notices her eyes grow wide as she talks about fighting her own Clanmates for food, and Shimmerpaw asks if it's true that they starve their elders. She says that she should get another Clan involved, as it's against the Warrior Code. Shimmerpaw calls to Dirtpaw then, gesturing for him to come meet Maplepaw, but he is nudged away by his brother, Scorpionpaw, who Shimmerpaw explains has a nasty side. As Maplepaw meets Frostpaw, Shimmerpaw explains to Maplepaw that Frosteye is blind in her blue eye, and that it's common in white cats that have blue eyes to be blind. She mentions that she's def in that ear too, but that it's still impossible to sneak up on her on that side.

Shimmerpaw later snarls out in agreement with her Clan against Kestrelstar not allowing the kits of Rainstride and Sunflower to be given over, stating that it was the agreement between the Clans for allowing Rainstride to leave. The newly named Scorpiontail lunges at her as she snarls, and Shimmerpaw slams her large paws into the side of his face, knocking him to the ground. He then leaps to his paws and rakes his claws down her pelt, drawing blood as she screeches at him, until a warrior scolds them for fighting at a Gathering.

In Chapter Nineteen, Shimmerpaw gives a friendly pip to Maplecrow, and mentions that she's been named Shimmertail now. She comments on how she hasn't seen Maplecrow in moons, and sorrowfully mentions Owlpaw's death, giving condolences, in addition to Halfstar's death. She mentions that NightClan seems so different, especially the apprentices, in which she is cut off by Maplecrow coughing, blaming pollen. Shimmertail shrugs and agrees, saying that when that time comes around it stains the rivers and streams green and yellow, making it disgusting to wash out of fur.

As the Gathering starts, Shimmertail is noted to be looking gently over at the newly named Shallowpool and Puddlestep, and Maplecrow wonders if she's interested in one of them. When Kestrelstar names the four warriors of Rainstride and Sunflower, Shimmerpelt stares a hole into Maplecrow, remembering that NightClan and GustClan were allies.

In Chapter Two, Shimmertail is given Foampaw as an apprentice. Driftstar comments that the two seem to be made from the same river, and that it would be beneficial for both of them to train together. At the end of the ceremony, Shimmertail pushes her apprentice into the river to signify that she is now an apprentice. Later she is seen in a lively conversation with Pebbleshore, which Foampaw scowls at her for pushing her in. When Foampaw heads towards Firstorm, crying, Riverfur blocks her and says that Shimmertail is the cat that Foampaw is to go to now, as her loyalties should be to her mentor to train her and look after her now.

In Chapter Six, Shimmertail is seen on patrol with Stormbelly and her apprentice when they appear back in camp with a patrol of NightClan cats consisting of Viperstrike, Havenflower, Crowpaw, and Blackberry.
