Shrewtooth, Petalnose, Rockshade, Creekfeather, Egg and Tangle
These cats are missing in the Modern Skyclan. It feels as if one day they were in Skyclan's Destiny and by Hawkwing's Journey they were gone. Does anyone know what happened to them? Has the Erin's mentioned anything? Apologies if this has been a thread in the past but I rejoined the forums a few months ago after years of not being around.
Maybe they died or went MIA in Darktail and his band's attack on the gorge? Theories or thoughts?

I'm also curious about what happened to the guys that got captured in Hawkwing's Journey. At least Fidgetflake made it back to us, but...

I have a personal headcanon/theory that they died from a sickness before Darktail showed up but there's no official explanation other than they were just forgotten about.
As for the kidnapped cats, they could've been put to sleep or are still alive as kittypets. Who knows if we'll ever get a real explanation.

Isn’t there a decent chunk of time between SD and HJ? Stands to reason they died off in various ways from standard clan attrition rates.

At least those guys had personality to them. We already knew Egg was an older cat by the time he was an apprentice, he descended from SkyClan cats, he was smart and capable and impressed Sharpclaw. Shrewtooth literally had his own character arc where he grows confident after being tormented and abused. Petalnose was also rescued from the abusive Twoleg and had two kits and Rainfur died in the battle against the rats, and Rockshade had a bond with Egg and he was pretty bold and brazen. But instead of keeping the characters we actually had development for... I guess we can just replace them with cardboard Mistfeather so he can make a one time cameo in TAQ with a mate that we have never heard of before and will never hear of again.

The Erin's probably forgot about them. It's sad that we didn't get a least a mention of them.
The only author statements I could find about them was that Vicky believed that Egg stayed in Skyclan and became a loyal warrior with the perspective on a loner on Clan situations, and that Rockshade mentored Honeytail and that Shrewtooth mentored Creekfeather.
As for the cats that were kitnapped (haha), I'm disappointed we never learned what happened to them and that they never appeared again. Clovertail stings especially because she was one of the first cats to join Modern Skyclan.

I think the authors just forgot about them, though they could’ve died from a sickness in between SkyClan’s Destiny and HJ. The cats who got taken by Twolegs are probably living as kittypets somewhere.

iceheart pretty sure Mistfeather's mate was Stormheart, she's the only she-cat who died in the Darktail battle. It's pretty sad we don't know what happened to these guys, especially since they all, barring Creekfeather, were pretty unique, interesting, or had somewhat important story moments, and I just like the name Creekfeather. They probably died of sickness, or maybe Egg left to be a loner again or something. Maybe we'll get comfirmation for Rockshade, Petalnose and Creekfeather on the family tree since they still have family in SkyClan. Still hoping for Birdwing, Waspwhisker and Clovertail to get a novella or graphic novel where they come back to SkyClan. Waspwhisker could make for an interesting deputy dipute with Hawkwing, kind of Graystripe-Brambleclaw esque, and I want Birdwing back because Sagenose has had a hard life and I like him and want focus on him and Fidgetflake. We can see how it was for Birdwing to slowly lose all her kits, maybe help Fidgetflake escape, maybe she tries to help her mother Clovertail escape with her and Waspwhisker but Clovertail is too weak/old to come? Just anything at this point. Yes I love SkyClan and think about them too much.

Everyone says that the authors forgot about them, but tbh I think it’s much more likely that they were like, “Alright, time to thin out the herd” (as they always seem to do between arcs) and then just picked a bunch of random characters from the allegiances to leave out. Without thinking about the fact that those cats also happened to be some of the more developed bg characters. They’ve done that several times now.

Shrewtooth was one of my favorite Skyclan cats, and one of my favorite characters period! I hope we get a novella one day from his POV that explains what happened to all these cats after Skyclan's Destiny and before Hawkwing's Journey.

If Stormheart was Mistfeather's mate, we should've seen more of it, especially since Stormheart is Leafstar's daughter, and Mistfeather appeared out of nowhere.
