Could we have more details on Mapleshade's second litter?

Yes, you can! They are called Swansong, Goldenwhisker, Redmask, and Palefern.

Swansong was the firstborn and is protective of all of her siblings. Obviously, she was named after her Grandmother by Sunfrost. Like Swans, her swimming is elegant, and she can hold her breath for a whole minute to dive deep into the river to catch fish. Personality-wise, she is calm and level headed, but if pushed can become very aggressive. She had two kits with an unknown father. Became Swanstar after the previous one, Otterstar died. Her successor was Hailstar.

Goldenwhisker became a Medicine cat, not because she was forced, but she genuinely wanted to heal cats. That, and her older-half brother Larchfeather was a Medicine cat too. Together, they actually conceived the cure for worms and made splints using spiderwebs or grass with twigs. These two creations helped a lot of cats down the line, and their names are still remembered for it. Despite being a healer, she took no crap from no one and is very blunt on things. If she got lip from a patient, they got bitter herbs and a deadpan look that made them squirm.

Redmask, like her mother, is an able-bodied warrior. She trained her self to fight like a Thunderclan and Riverclan cat to confuse her enemies, and can seamlessly change between the fighting style. But if she had to choose, she’ll pick RC every single time. She is also the biggest Daddy’s girl in the clan but refused to admit it. When her brother needed help to train, she was there every step of the way. She’ll eventually grow very close with a cat named Mintbreeze and raised their surrogate kits together. Looked up to her older-half siblings, especially Petalsplash.

 Palefern is actually an albino. At first, they thought he was white like his sister Swankit, but noticed his eyes, paw pads, and other things pointed to albinism. He had help being trained to fight and get around since his eyes was closed because certain light made his eyes hurt.  Has an easy-going personality and doesn’t have a mean spirited bone in his body. Got the longest legs out of all siblings. When asked, he was the surrogate biological father to Mintbreeze’s kits and aided in raising them with the happy couple.

As for Patchkit, Petalkit, and Larchkit, they became Patchspring, Petalsplash, and Larchfeather. The first to became warriors while Larchfeather got into healing when he saw Cloudberry help an elder with a nasty cough back to health.
