Okay… so hear me out.
I am aware that sandstorm’s parents were Redtail and Brindleface until it was made non-canon. This got me to thinking on who could be her parents.
As I was listening to Dangerous Path, I got to the scene where Speckletail loses snowkit. She becomes so distraught that Sandstorm is there to comfort her. This whole plot point was to show Fireheart her softer side but I can’t help but see the potential in this.
Speckletail is a “pale golden tabby” this is pretty close to sandstorms pale ginger pelt. Plus, Speckle’s son, Lionheart, has green eyes which shows that it would run in the family enough for Sandstorm to get the genetics too.
Thoughts?

in one of my many headcanon trees, i had her parents as rosetail and rabbitleap (the brother of poppydawn). rosetail had sandstorm at an old age and died before firestar joined thunderclan; and rabbitleap died before sandstorm was apprenticed (perhaps he died just after she was born, and therefore sandstorm was never close to either parent). this would mean sandstorm was orphaned at a rather young age.
edit: i forgot to point out that rosetail and rabbitleap are niece and uncle, but since canon has already done it, then i dont have problem with it anymore. it's just inevitable and no one should care unless its very bad like parent x child or sibling x sibling.
another option was to keep redtail as her dad, but since there is no canon evidence for it (since redtail's death is an important plot point in book 1), then i don't think he could have actually been her dad. thats why i picked cats who r already dead by book 1 of series 1 lol

I always headcanoned that her parents were Frostfur and Lionheart and she was their first litter, so her and Speckletail would still be related that way.

I still headcanon Sandstorm's parents to be Frostfur and Lionheart.
Although upon further thinking, this would then make Bramblestar and Sandstorm first cousins (because his mom and her dad are littermates, and thus him and Squirrelflight would be related as well) so I might just go with transmasc Redtail and Runningwind being her parents instead. Even if that is just fanon and will never be canon.
Now I'm wondering if they'll ever give Sandstorm canon parents or if she's just going to still stay parentless on the family tree forever...
As for Speckletail being Sandstorm's mother (and thus Smallear as her father), this would mean that Goldenflower and Lionheart are her older siblings and make her be related to Bramblestar as his aunt and thus have him and Squirrelflight be first cousins instead. So, no thanks. I know lots of mates are related in this series like that but we really don't need to make BrambleSquirrel even more problematic than it already is.
TL;DR: Speckletail being the mother of Sandstorm would make Sandstorm be Bramblestar's aunt and thus him and Squirrelflight be first cousins, so no thanks. I'll stick with my fanon RedRunning (including transmasc Redtail) instead until her canon parents are either confirmed or she stays canonically parentless so RedRunning raising Sandkit/paw can be canon in my head forever.

I believe when ShadowClan attacks, Bluestar mentions that Rosetail died defending the nursery or something similar. She was just not included on the allegiances.
