## **History**

### **Paws of Stars**

#### **Rising Sun**

Driftleap plans to be more united but decides to go on a solo search for new members, finding in the marshes Lobsterpaw and Quillsmoke agree while the latter agrees to take the role of a medicine cat. He also convinces Pike, Minnow, Torrent, and Sand to join but feels dissatisfied with the number of cats. Torrent is trying not to let his fur bristle as he is still getting used to trusting cats, but he accepts the name Torrentpaw and feels honored when Driftstar touches Noses with him deciding to train him.

Driftstar decides to take Torrentpaw and Piketuft with apprentice Sandpaw to the Frogplace and plans to have Torrentpaw catch his first fish, Piketuft wants to battle train as a precaution with Sandpaw. Driftstar sees how much Torrentpaw struggles to fish, and stays late into the day, encouraging Torrentpaw to keep trying with both mentor and apprentice proud but exhausted when Torrentpaw catches a frog, the first thing he has ever caught.

Lightningpaw and Foxpaw quickly look around till they see Torrentpaw and Sandpaw of DriftClan talking, quickly walking up to them. Torrentpaw gives an annoyed growl, but Sandpaw puts her tail over his muzzle and greets them and is overwhelmed by the many questions they ask about DriftClan, apprentice life, and their backgrounds to Torrentpaw's laughter as Sandpaw answers slowly and awkwardly.

## **Personality and Relationships**

### **Personality**

Torrentpaw is a storm of anger. Torrentpaw didn't have fun coming into this world, as his parents rejected him, leaving him to be swallowed by the tides. He was saved by an unknown cat who fed him and named him after the Torrent he had found him in, but that caretaker was killed in front of his eyes. This has made Torrentpaw aggressive, hissing and lashing at cats, but his defense has been built up from trauma and fear. However, his clanmates still care about him, and his mentor Driftstar made sure he used his aggression for good, and he now uses it to protect others unless he is angry. Torrentpaw's apprenticeship had a big effect on him, and he usually lets other cats talk as his mentor would always monolog on and on. Still, Torrentpaw believes getting a cat's perspective helps make connections. Torrentpaw is proud of his mentor and his own set of skills, particularly his long tail, which makes fighting, climbing, and fishing easier though it does mean dirt easily gets on it. Despite this, and the trauma from his youth Torrentpaw loves swimming and can often be found with wet paws if not fur in general. Torrentpaw likes to add sea-foliage that clings to his pelt when he swims to his nest collection.

### **Sandpaw**

Sandpaw is Torrentpaw's awkward friend; their first encounter was unpleasant, to say the least. First off, she accidentally stepped on his tail, and he hissed at her to buzz off with her hissing back. Still, after becoming an apprentice and explaining the annoying situation to her mentor Piketuft he told her to try to talk to him in the morning as they and Driftstar would go on a border and fishing patrol. Torrentpaw first arrogantly ignored her but did feel somewhat bad and agreed to be somewhat friends with her, they care about each other and tell each other what happens, but they mostly mind to themselves but try to be congenial. Sandpaw likes to sneak out, and sometimes Torrentpaw will go with her for fun, to make sure she is okay, and to practice battle moves.
