...who those cats are that the Erins mentioned in PoT Book Five: Long Shadows? I'm rereading the series while I wait for Shattered Sky (and I'm almost done again cry) BUT I came across this cool part that they've never addressed and probably have forgotten about.
ThunderClan is getting ravaged by greencough and Leafpool and Jawpaw/feather have no catmint. Jaypaw (he's still an apprentice in chapter 11) has a vision at random and Bluestar and the rest of her posse (Yellowfang and Whitestorm) are freaking out because they can feel that a ton of cats are gonna die. Then out of nowhere:
"A cool breeze swept over the clearing, ruffling the moon-colored fur of the restless cats. Starlight gleamed again in the shadows under the trees, and three more cats padded into the open. The first was a young she-cat--barely old enough to be a warrior--her silver tabby pelt glimmering with a pale light. The second cat was older, a silver tabby so like the first that Jaypaw guessed she was her mother, while the third was a broad-shouldered tabby tom. "Brightspirit." Bluestar dipped her head respectfully to the young she-cat. "It has been a long time." "Shiningheart. Braveheart," Whitestorm greeted the two older cats. "Your presence honors us."
THEN:
'Their scent was different too--faintly of StarClan, and of something else carried on the distance.'
Anyone have any theories as to who these three are? Or does the book mention it later and I've just forgotten? XD

These characters were created in honor of a family who died in a tornado, the daughter named Emily Cherry was a huge warriors fan, so these characters were added to the book in their memory. Their names and appearances (I believe) were thought up by a warriors fansite.

Brightspirit was made after a Warriors fan named Emma Cherry, who died in a tornado.
I think she got a play or short story called Brightspirit's Mercy.

oh that's really sad, but incredibly cool! It's great that the Erins honored her that way!
