Specklestep

Optimistic • Anxious • Stupid I Dunno

Speck is a very nervous cat, she fears the judgment of older warriors and other clans and is constantly in a state of trying her best to impress. She’s far more confident among younger cats and her den mates (despite often needing a bit of a nudge in the right direction) but once she takes charge she can be a good leader and guide. She is quite the perfectionist, leading to her running technique that place’s her as the fastest cat (well Rookstar may be faster but they haven’t raced her yet). Speck tries her best to be a calming presence around others, she is often known for being quite optimistic and a good listener, even though she does try and provide advice even when it’s not welcome. She is nervous when speaking to larger groups, but through her nervous stutter and mush mouth she can be good at providing solutions to minor problems. At the end of the day Speck would prefer to hunt alone under the stars then anything else, then maybe after her and her friends can sneak into horseplace

Kithood

As a kit Specklestep was very nervous. The world outside of the safety of the den was strange and unusual to her. But when a patrol found a kit abandoned near the boarder she began to want to explore outside more, could other kits be out there? The older she got the more she wanted to leave the nursery and hunt for the younger litter like her dad! But about a moon before her apprenticeship, her father was found dead in the middle of their territory during a bad storm. This brought Specklekit and Lynxkit closer together, and made her want to explore more. Once she reached 6 moons old she eagerly got her apprentice name, already exited to make the journey to the moon stone in hopes of seeing her dad again.

Apprenticeship

Specklepaw was a rambunctious little apprentice, she loved her mentor and loved working with Lynxpaw and Twigpaw during training. But she regained her timidness a bit, often realizing she was being a bit too exited and it was probably annoying. She developed her first crush on her dear friend Mosspaw, the medicine cat apprentice. She hated that she had to have eyes on the one cat in the clan she could NEVER be with, but tried her best to ignore the feelings. She would always look forward to seeing Bumblepaw after his training and would sneak down into the tunnels with him.

Warrior

As an adult Specklestep always felt this strange absents in her life ever since Lynxpaw left to join Shadowclan. She was pretty down in the dumps, not really wanting to sneak out to Horseplace or go into the med den to speak with Mossspring. But her mother and mentor forced her back up and to her paws again, basically giving her the “your moping isn’t going to feed any mouths” speech. Slowly this helped her come out of her funk and get back to her normal self once more. She still has a silly crush on Mossspring and still loves sneaking out of camp. She constantly frets over her mother due to her loosing her eye sight and often goes out hunting just for her, Willowsong always puts up a fuss about it but accepts Speckles help non the less. Specklestep often requests to patrol the Shadowclan boarder, in naïve hope of seeing Lynxmask. Overtime she noticed strange things about Shadowclan, less of their warriors where coming to gathering, and their leader (Toadstar) never said much. But one night after a gathering (with only four Shadowclan warriors at it) Windclan came back to find their camp in ruins and cats wounded or dead.
