Appearance

A Massive, fluffy tom. Sparkclaw is larger than a lynx, With sharp claws, Black and Cream colored fur with orange fur and stripes and red eyes. Sparkclaw has two scars on his cheek, and a claw mark on his right eye. He is the current leader of Eclipseclan and the largest cat in the forest.

Personality 

Sparkclaw has a lot more problems then he lets other cats know. Due to snakehearts constant aggression and abuse towards him, He’s reserved and doesn’t understand his own emotions most of the time due to his emotions either being ignored or pushed to the side, he’s convinced he isn’t supposed to have feelings or anything like them. As he’s grown; he’s gotten a lot more aggressive. But it’s hard to get him to that point, usually he’s more timid and silent, he doesn’t chat much during gatherings. Sparkclaw has trust issues, doesn’t trust himself,  and needs someone to help make decisions or else they may never get made. He has sleeping problems, won’t sleep unless there’s someone near him. And he tries not to vent. He began to trust himself even less after finding out his father is a murderer and evil.

BACKSTORY SUMMARY (There’s a lot more than this but this is a)
——

Sparkkit is born to Sparkpelt and scorchclaw, As a young kit he’s taken to Eclipseclan before he’s opened his eyes. He’s accepted and Nursed by Willowstorm, His two best friends, Maplekit and Thunderkit remain by his side for his whole entire life. He is mentored by Snakeheart, who injures him and is verbally, emotionally and sometimes physically abusive towards him. Later on, about a few days later a battle ensues between Clawclan and Eclipseclan when the opposing clan invades on their territory. (Later it is found out that this was to test sparkpaws strength as ordered by scorchclaw.), Sparkpaw is being bullied by two Clawclan warriors before he sees Firebird about to be killed by Silverstar, The Clawclan leader. Sparkpaw screeches and flings the two Clawclan warriors off. (later learned to be Spintail and Ravenscar.) and Leaps onto Silverstar. And Accidentally cracks his skull open. Taking one of his lives. The battle ends there.

At the gathering, Sparkpaw meets a cat named Breezepaw from tempestclan. The smaller Tom was being bullied and Sparkpaw defends him. The two become close friends, It’s learned that later Rainstar is evil, and cats Thunderfang (The Deputy Of Tempestclan) and Wavepaw (Rainstars Daughter) want her out of power for the clans safety, so they gather a bunch of cats including Sparkpaw and Breezepaw, along with some other Eclipseclan cats and assist in helping The Freedomclaws in taking down Rainstar, The dictator from Tempestclan who was ready to bring all her and her warriors into a battle due to a simple border dispute seemingly caused by Sparkpaw, when the tempestclan warriors antagonized him while hunting. At this time Wavepaw has also left Tempestclan to join Eclipseclan. To continue being friends with Thunderpaw. 

Sparkpaw at this time is more outcasted by his clan than before, and Firebird has been a lot more busy than before, so there’s barely any time for them to catch up. He’s also being neglected by Snakeheart and this leads him to sneak out of camp to think about things. He meets with Breezepaw at night and the two get along happily, running through the territory’s at night and training together. However Breezepaw begins to put less effort into it after awhile. Sparkpaw doesn’t notice, and Breezepaw just says he’s tired. One night While meeting with Breezepaw, Sparkpaw hears Breezepaws new name is Breezeheart. Sparkpaw is glad to hear He became a warrior early. But breezeheart follows this news by saying they can’t be friends anymore. Sparkpaw asks why but never truly finds out. Breezepaw leaves and leaves sparkpaw to himself. Sparkpaw screams and slams his claws into his reflection in the river. He’s frightened by the anger on his face and flees. Snakeheart has been watching and smiles.  

Sparkpaw goes home and Where Firebird is waiting for him worriedly, cause she heard him scream, He instantly runs to her and breaks down into her fur from stress, she of course comforts him and grooms his fur. Firebird calls him a brave warrior, who has a lot ahead of him. Sparkpaw doesn’t question what that means yet. The next day Snakeheart takes him out to train. And Sparkpaw is struggling to spar with his bully, Firepaw. Firepaw calls him names, Sparkpaw eventually gets angry and really injures Firepaw by slamming his head on some rocks, the same move that took one of Silverstars lives. Snakeheart is proud and actually compliments Sparkpaw. Sparkpaw is happy about this. Later Nightstar gathers cats for the gathering. Sparkpaw wants to stay, because he doesn’t want to face breezeheart. But Nightstar says he has to come. Sparkpaw swallows the lump in his throat as he realizes none of the other apprentices or Firebird are coming. Not even Snakeheart. He looks back at Thunderpaw and Maplepaw who watch worriedly along with the other apprentices.

At the gathering Sparkpaw is unfortunately made to sit next to breezeheart. It’s very awkward, and there’s tension between the two, they won’t even look at eachother. The gathering starts and talk starts between the leaders, which quickly turns into an argument about which clan owns sparkpaw. Sparkpaw is shocked, scared. Nightstar says they can’t have him, and The other clans say they will fight until one clan wins sparkpaw. As he was a rouge before. Sparkpaw realizes why none of his friends could come, nobody to protect him. As they return home, Sparkpaw just wants to sleep. And he manages to get a pinch of rest in the medicine den, as silvershell beckons him in. He chats with her apprentice, Wigglepaw. Later sparkpaw and a few other cats are sent out on patrol, and are attacked by Clawclan. Swanear is lost in the battle and dies to her wounds. The clan sits vigil for swanear, This was a warning. 

Sparkpaw a few moons later (Sparkpaw is 10 moons at this point, the "war" is still ongoing) this thinking about Thunderpaw. He’s had a crush on her for awhile, he wonders if Thunderpaw noticed, especially after coming out as a she-cat to him first before everyone. He’s noticed her and Wavepaw are close. But maybe there’s a chance. Sparkpaw grabs the best flowers he can find. Before climbing up the mountain to where Thunderpaw should be. He walks past the tree where they clawed their names, Sparkpaw is so sure, but as he gets there his heart breaks into pieces. Thunderpaw is on the edge with Wavepaw. They're wrapped around eachother. Staring at the starry sky. Sparkpaw runs away heartbroken. He claws his name off the tree and runs back home.

Sparkpaw is depressed, He can’t even have the girl he loves. Now what? He just suffers in silence? Of course. Sparkpaw begins to avoid Thunderpaw. Avoid the pain. He begins to talk to flamepaw more, he realizes she’s fun and pretty and snappy and really flirty with him. But he isn’t sure if he actually thinks that or if he’s blinded by heartbreak and is just clinging onto whatever is there. However he’s sure he genuinely likes her platonically. But now isn’t the time for that! Now it’s time. For their warrior assessment.

Snakeheart says Sparkpaw has to catch 6 pieces of prey and bring them back here. Sparkpaw realizes that his assessment is 10x harder than everyone else’s. But he sighs and sucks it up, can’t be that hard.. Firebird had been showing him stuff behind snakehearts back. Sparkpaw manages the prey, and brings them back to snakeheart the other apprentices are shocked. Firepaw mumbles a "not bad" while flamepaw and the rest cheer. He smiles at all the praise. Snakeheart stares at him while the other  mentors praise their apprentices. They all return back to camp, and the next day; it’s time. sparkpaws friends earn their names but when it’s sparkpaws turn, Nightstar says that Sparkpaw had failed his assignment. Sparkpaws blood runs cold and he can’t even react. The new warriors cries of outrage are silenced. Sparkpaw looks at his paws and shuts his eyes. Snakeheart says that Sparkpaw ate the prey he caught instead of bringing it back. The other apprentices step in, especially Flamestep (Formerly, Flamepaw) before her mentor silences her. Nightstar says that Sparkpaw will have to train for 6 more moons, And dismisses the meeting. Thunderdash (Thunderpaw, Formerly) Tries to reach out to him before Sparkpaw dashes off to the medicine den to Silvershell and Firebird, Who instantly embrace him, Silvershell tells him she tried to change nightstars mind, but they didn’t listen, Firebird lets out a violent snarl as Snakeheart passes the medicine den, her claws unsheathing. Just to be held back by silvershell

Sparkpaw is asleep in the apprentices den, alone. Suddenly Firegaze (Firepaw, formerly.) Wakes him up, bringing him outside. He’s about to ask before they shush him. They’re letting him sit vigil with them. As the sun rises. Thunderdash says they aren’t calling him Sparkpaw, he isn’t an apprentice and deserved to graduate with them. Flamestep says they decided on Spark. Waveclaw (Formerly, Wavepaw) Agrees. They all do. Spark smiles. He did have friends in Eclipseclan. 

Spark goes on patrol later but is ambushed by tempestclan cats. One of them being breezeheart. He expects breezeheart to have some pitty but he’s really beating him, spark can’t bring himself to fight back, the tempestclan cats lunge at him before a massive brown Tom, seemingly out of nowhere begins to thrash and toss them around and away. The gigantic tom looks back at spark, Spark only registers that the large tom had red eyes. The two locks eyes before Spark flees back to camp.

(I’m so tired of typing, basically Spark meets lightningstrike, he’s very gay and they date Lightning turns out to be evil and a little power  hungry and is also thunderdashs brother; and when Spark refused to killed his leader and deputy Lightning broke it off with him.)

(Spark begins to court with Flamestep, who’s also very receptive. But she flirts with Spark way more, no she wasn’t his rebound or anything; it just happened. However they aren’t mates yet. Sparkpaw gets a pet lizard named lil guy that helps around camp, but a moon later snakeheart kills and eats little guy. The motif being that he was hungry and they need all the prey they can get.)

(Spark beings to hang out with silverkit, snakehearts kit who was denied by snakeheart. They are close but Silverpaw dies in a fire, where a tree fell. and Chooses the name Silverspark in starclan. - He knocked Spark out of the way from the tree, Spark was also basically his mentor. And heartbroken when he died)

(Snakeheart scars Sparks eye, Firebird snaps and kills Snakeheart while he’s alone. She takes over as Sparks mentor and helps him get his warrior name, Sparkclaw.)

(Scorchclaw (brown cat from earlier) reveals himself leader of the syndicate and Spark is his son. Nightstar is also killed by other syndicate members, leaving Lionstrike to become lionstar)

(Spark does not want to go with Scorchclaw, he his kidnapped, he returns home, scorchclaw comes to get him, Lionstrike refuses to turn Spark over and Scorchclaw kills Lionstrike in one swipe for disobedience. And claims Eclipseclan as his until spark turns himself over. Spark turns himself over. But challenges Scorchclaw. Scorchclaw and Spark prepare to Fight in 12 moons. Spark and Flamestep become official mates after she kisses him oooooo and Spark gets 9 lives and kills scorchclaw I swear it’s more epic than this I’m so tired of typing)
