So, about the timeline...

Well... IF all of Vicky's statements somehow make sense, then this is the timeline we have so far:

SkyClan leaves the forest (20 years before Bluestar's birth)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mapleshade's Vengeance (About 6 moons long)

Mapleshade is expecting kits

She has her kits

Her kits die at 2 moons

Mapleshade lives a rogue and goes on a rampage

Mapleshade is killed
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(3 year gap)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pinestar's Choice (Unknown years)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Missing Timeline- Sometime under 9 years?)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Goosefeather's Curse (About 1 year long)

Goosefeather and Moonkit are born

Swiftbreeze, Adderfang, and Stormtail become warriors

Sunstar and Featherwhisker are born

Several litters are born

Moonflower, Poppydawn, Heronwing, and Rabbitleap become warriors

Doestar dies and Pinestar becomes leader
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Missing Timeline- Unknown years)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bluestar is born



Please correct me if any of this information isn't right. I didn't read MV so I don't know how long she lived.

I'm doing more research right now, I'm going to find out who was born in GC after Goosefeather, Moonflower, and Poppydawn and her siblings, so we can estimate the time between GC and BP. In the wiki it says "many litters were born" but I hope they list names somewhere.

We don't have a ton of information, but I would like to find out how long it was between Goosefeather's Curse and Bluestar's Birth. That would help fill the timeline.

K, so here's what I have now:

ThunderClan's Allegiances Right after GC:

Leader: Pinestar
Deputy: ?
Medicine Cat: Goosefeather
Warriors:
Mumblefoot
Rooktail
Daisytoe
Windflight
Squirrelwhisker
Littlestep
Fallowsong
Stormtail
Adderfang
Swiftbreeze
Smallear
Rockfall
Moonflower
Poppydawn
Heronwing
Rabbitleap
Apprentices: ?
Queens:
Larksong
Rainfur
Kits:
Sunkit
Featherkit
Tawnykit
Dapplekit
Specklekit
Whitekit
Elders:
Mistpelt

All the possible deputies that could have been first under Pinestar:

Mumblefoot
Rooktail
Daisytoe (though I doubt it, because she was mentioned being frail at the end of GC)
Squirrelwhisker
Littlestep
Fallowsong
Rockfall
Heronwing
Rabbitleap

Most likely deputies (most new leaders choose a senior warrior as their first deputy) :

Mumblefoot
Rooktail
Squirrelwhisker
Littlestep
Fallowsong

????Where are these cats? :

Stonepelt
Halftail (Sparrowpelt)
Robinwing
Fuzzypelt
Weedwhisker

I would normally say that they were born between GC and BP... but Dappletail and One-eye were apprentices in BP. There is just not enough time for all those cats to be born and already be warriors o.o"

I suppose it could be not a complete allegiances, and they just weren't mentioned... maybe they were already warriors and Vicky forgot about them? They all seem like cats that would be older than Storm/Adder/ and Swift. After all, Robinwing was mentioned to already have had a litter. Maybe she and Fuzzypelt were Smallear and Rockfall's parents. Dunno.

I mean, it wouldn't be far-fetched if Stonepelt and Halftail were born RIGHT after Speckletail and One-eye- and became warriors along with Speckletail.

So my conclusions: Robinwing, Fuzzypelt, and Weedwhisker were warriors when Goosefeather was born, while Stonepelt and Halftail were born right after Speckletail and Oneeye OR all of them: Speckletail, Halftail, Robinwing, Fuzzypelt, and Weedwhisker were all warriors when Goosefeather was born.

What do you think about that?

Also, time-wise, Oneeye and Speckletail were born near the end of GC, and one was a new warrior and the other was an older apprentice. So around 1 year old.

That means that there was a 1 year time gap between GC and BP (or Bluestar's birth)

That also means that, seeing that Sunstar and Featherwhisker were almost 6 moons old near the end of GC, that means they would have been around 1 1/2 years at the start of BP. That's super young for Sunstar to be deputy- meaning if he had just become a warrior 6 moons before BP, then Pinestar's first deputy would have died/retired somewhere in the 6 moons before Bluestar was born, and Sunstar replaced him or her somewhere during that time.

1 more thing:

In the 1 year time gap between GC and BP, all these cats must have died:

Rooktail
Daisytoe
Squirrelwhisker
Littlestep
Fallowsong
Rockfall
Heronwing
Rabbitleap
Rainfur
Mistpelt

... that's a lot of cats to die in a year.

Also...

How did Pinestar lose all his lives except a few in 1 year? Even if it was 1 year and 1/2 or even 2 years, that's still not very long. Maybe he started a lot of random battles because Goosefeather kept prophesying stuff?

Ok maybe this was one giant mess but, correct me if I'm wrong, the time gap wasn't just a year? I really hope it wasn't, cause that wouldn't make sense. I must be missing something.

I'm actually writing a fanfic that starts at the end of GC and goes to Goosefeather's death. I decided to have the missing cats be born right after the end of GC. Squirrelwhisker had Robinwing and Sparrowpelt. Larksong will have Stonepelt and Fuzzypelt. As for Robinwing having kits, I got a little creative. We know that apprentices can't have mates or kits. Since no rule ever comes about without a tragedy to inspire it, I stuck to the theme. Robinwing and Fuzzypelt had their first litter as apprentices and the kits came early and died. That takes care of Robinwing's first litter and it creates a well known rule. As for Dappletail and One-eye, they were held back due to small size. Then Dappletail gets severely injured when One-eye gets attacked by the badger. That held them both back even longer and Dappletail refused to be made a warrior without One-eye.
