Fishpaw was first a warrior apprentice, mentored by her aunt Coralclaw. After failing her assessment due to Crowstar punishing Coralclaw, as well as her own immaturity, she switches to being a healer apprentice under Whisperleaf. Life seems to be looking up for her until one of her clanmates is killed. Due to repeat nightmares from Starclan, Fishpaw feels compelled to find the killer. While she investigates, she finishes her training and earns her full name, Fishwhisker.

General Personality:

Fishwhisker is an anxious young adult, to hide her vulnerabilties she is outwardly aggressive. She is someone who is easily caught up in the machinations of her mind, and can quickly spiral if things do not go according to plan. A cat who is still lonely, despite being surrounded by others. Fishwhisker feels like an outcast amongst her clan, the drama that her family is often involved in weighs heavy on her mind. She has an easier time getting along with Firespots and the foxes, since they don't have the prejudice against her that she percieves from her clanmates. Her anxiety shows strongly in the way she cannot help but make assumptions of other cats intentions and as a result is extremely distrusting, even of cats who are close to her. She is known to make decisions on impulse and out of panic, which is something she wishes she could stop doing.

Kithood/Early Apprenticeship:

Fishkit starts out with a good relationship with her family, Sandywing and Springflower both doting on her and her brother. Once she is old enough to understand the whisperings of her clanmates, she begins to feel judged for being half Treeclan. She also feels judged for the way other cats talk about Sandywing with disdain. She gets along with her brother, and her new friend Petalkit. Once she is apprenticed to Coralclaw, it's made very clear to her by Sandywing that this is a bad thing. Fishpaw feels like she is being punished, and Coralclaw is abrasive and stand offish to her. Coralclaw offers no emotional support to the apprentice, and the two bicker a lot.

Comic Timeline:

Fishpaw fails her warrior assessment, with Rockfall and Petalsong getting their full names without her. The public humiliation drives Fishpaw to flee the area, going outside Oceanclan territory to be alone for a few hours. She meets Firespots, someone who scares her at first but over time they become good friends. Firespots is someone that Fishpaw begins to regularly seek out and ask for advice from, she feels a kinship with him due to the way he was also neglected by the clan and Crowstar in particular. Fishpaw also begins to become close with Cloverfall and Whisperleaf, two adults in her clan who goes out of their way to be nice to her. She switches to being a healer apprentice, giving up on her warrior training and inadvertently causing Sandywing to snap. It's revealed to Fishpaw that her mother was only supportive of her under the pretense that she was doing exactly what her mother planned for her. As their relationship crumbles, so does her closeness with Rockfall as he begins to distance himself from her in a futile attempt to avoid getting into the family drama.

Relationships

Coralclaw [ Aunt/Former Mentor ]

Fishwhisker's relationship with her aunt was always a complicated one. Sandywing had told her many things about Coralclaw, not all were true. Once she was apprenticed to her, it became very clear that Coralclaw did not like her. Fishpaw assumed it was both Sandywing's influence as well as her appearance being similar to Deepwater's that was upsetting to Coralclaw, but this wasn't fair to her. Fishpaw wanted to be treated with a kindness that Coralclaw was not going to give. After she fails her assessment, she and Coralclaw get into a spat. Eager to get out of the situation, she turns to Whisperleaf and asks to become his apprentice. This upsets Coralclaw even further, now having no chance at ever having fully trained an apprentice. Their relationship is still strained even months later, the two go out of their way to avoid each other.

Whisperleaf [ Mentor ]

Whisperleaf has shown Fishpaw an unexpected amount of compassion and understanding to her problems. He very quickly became an adult that she felt she could trust. Having no connection with her biological father and losing love from Sandywing, Whisperleaf stood in to be a sort of parental figure to Fishpaw. They have a very respectful relationship. He knows her urge to get her full name, after being an apprentice for so long, so the two work hard to finish her training fast. Whisperleaf also knew that Fishpaw needed independency and time to herself, so he would trust her to be careful when she was alone. She likes the name he gives her, as 'whisker' is reminiscent of 'whisper' and she feels like she can always carry a part of him with her.
