Physical Description

---

Sparrowflight is a long-furred shecat with striking amber eyes. She was named after her dominant brown colour palette and her transition of thick black stripes. Sparrowflight dons an entirely brown pelt, the only differing colour being the white on her chin, effectively softening her features. Partial areas of her flank (as well as her snout) radiates a vibrant reddish tone - possibly an effect of sun bleaching!

Sparrowflight adorns a saturated set of eyes, and her ears are upright with tufts at the end. She is well-proportioned; broad shoulders with large paws and a heavy, dense tail. Her tail is often carried high and away from the ground, as to avoid catching on leaves, foliage and grime.

Early Life

---

Sparrowkit was born to Storkwings and Bellowmouth within the nursery of Thunderclan. Her singular littermate, Puddlekit, was a grey mottled tomkit. Storkwings and Bellowmouth were both very well-respected warriors among the Clan, with Bellowmouth being the deputy and Storkwings being a highly-regarded senior warrior.

Even during her moons confined within the Nursery, Sparrowkit was a natural leader between herself and her brother. She would lead marches, 'patrols', and even act as the Clan leader at times. Storkwings, her mother, was very confident that Sparrowkit would grow to be a well-respected warrior just like herself and her mate.

Her kithood was exceptionally average, albeit sweet.

Adolescence

---

While Sparrowkit went on to become a Warrior apprentice, her littermate, Puddlekit, opted to become a Medicine Cat Apprentice. Although surprised, his family supported him entirely.

Sparrowkit was apprenticed to Aspenshade, a pale ginger tomcat with occasional white markings. They clicked immediately, and Sparrowpaw trained well under his wing. Due to their differing interests and separate cliques, Sparrowpaw and Puddlepaw grew significantly detached, although they were never hostile; just didn't have the same kithood-bond.

While Sparrowpaw admittedly struggled to keep up with training for the first few moons, after she recognised the routine she was suddenly advancing faster. Much to Aspenshade's pride, Sparrowpaw successfully passed the Warrior's assessment at 12 moons of age, receiving the name Sparrowflight. Her suffix was inspired by her abrupt kick off in comprehension and skill during her apprenticeship.

Puddlepaw accomplished his Medicine training at 13 moons, receiving the name Puddlenose.

The virtue of which Sparrowflight was respected for (in her Warrior ceremony) was her commitment..

Adulthood

---

Despite her young age, Sparrowflight begun leading patrols a few moons after her ceremony; Bellowmouth claimed that she was mature enough, and it would be good training.

Sparrowflight took the time she had to reconnect with her kin, realising how distanced Puddlenose and herself were. Occasionally, she would hang out with him and help him collect herbs; as consequence of this, Sparrowflight became well-acquaintanced with the majority of his frequent patients. This included Flamekit.

Flamekit was a sickly flamepoint tomkit, the runt of a large litter. Sparrowflight quickly grew attached, and pleaded to be able to apprentice him in due time. The leader eventually caved, although with much hesitation.

Flamepaw struggled with Apprenticeship, his scrawny build and frequent allergies making it hard for him to work without feeling miserable. Sparrowflight, whom considered the young tomkit as kin of her own, questioned Flamepaw if Warriorhood was the path he truly wanted to take. After much communication, Flamepaw agreed to begin training under Puddlenose instead, this time as a Medicine Cat Apprentice.

Although disappointed, Sparrowflight constantly visited Flamepaw to tune into his progress.

Now without an apprentice, Sparrowflight currently spends the majority of her days tending to duties such as patrolling, hunting, caretaking and camp-cleanups. She prides herself off of her work.

After scenting a Riverclan cat on their territory, Sparrowflight's patrol went off route to investigate. Covering an abadoned badger's nest whilst the others split up, Sparrowflight stumbled into an exiled and pregnant shecat; Weaseltail. Only after Sparrowflight realises her pregnancy did she sheathe her claws, and decide not to yell out for help. Sparrowflight tells Weaseltail to leave during nightfall and to head elsewhere, because next time she won't help her.

Within the next few days, Sparrowflight repetitively checks the badger den and the queen never returns - until she does, albeit battered up. Weaseltail refuses to admit where she had gone and what had happened, but Sparrowflight acknowledges how much worse she seems to be mentally; had she not been actively ignoring it, she would have suspected that Weaseltail had done something. Weaseltail explained to Sparrowflight that she has the ability to read omens and prophecies in the reflection of stars on water, labelling this ability as 'starsight.' Although skeptical, Sparrowflight is inclined to believe her.

Sparrowflight begins to bring the queen food, moss and often gifts. The longer she gets to know Weaseltail, the more she realises that Weaseltail is completely convinced she's a prophecy sent down from Starclan; Sparrowflight also realises that Weaseltail wants her to leave Thunderclan for her. These factors, as well as Weaseltail's self-obsession leaves Sparrowflight unsettled - but she forbears nonetheless. [WIP]
