PERSONALITY

Sandstorm is a very stubborn, independent cat, and she is not kindly when it comes to patronization. Although she makes a great friend once you get to know her, she can be very argumentative and stuck up. She is though, obedient, and loyal, full of spunk and charm.

HISTORY

INTO THE WILD
Listed as ThunderClan apprentice: Sandpaw

Sandpaw is seen relatively little in this book; she is often seen with Dustpaw exchanging scornful comments about the other three apprentices, Ravenpaw, Graypaw, and especially Firepaw, who she taunts endlessly on the subject of his kittypet roots [ITW3]. Though she is mentioned as being an older apprentice, Firepaw and Graypaw earn their warrior names before she and Dustpaw [ITW25].

GENERAL
At the beginning of The New Prophecy, Sandstorm was a prickly apprentice with a stuck-up attitude and a diffident disdain for kitty-pets. Naturally, Firepaw and Sandstorm where not friends. Or at least Sandpaw was sure she did not want to be friends. Sandstorm had a very close relashionship with Dustpaw, another apprentice with much the same temperament and attitude as her. When Sandstorm almost life her life in battle when she nearly slipped of the cliff into the gorge, Fireheart saved her. Suddenly, Sandstorm warmed up to the ginger tom, and they quickly grew good friends, and eventual mates. Sandstorm was the last apprentice to be made a warrior, and then the last warrior from her generation of apprentices to be given an apprentice. This causes some rifts in her relationship with Fireheart, but in the end she became a mentor and then she had kits.
