Splash From Large Puddle

Splash From Large Puddle "Splash" is a gray tom with green eyes.

## Personality

In comparison to most cats that are a part of his mother's cause, Splash is almost certainly the laziest. He would much rather take a nap than listen to what their future holds once their mother is leader of MarshClan, would rather lounge in a warm patch of sunlight than practice any fighting moves he's been taught. If he could get away with it, he would pawn any work he would have to do on another cat - he wouldn't dare do it with any of Burnrunner's kits, as they're all so much older than him, but once he starts his apprenticeship then he'll definitely start trying to get them to do his chores for him. Any new cats that get drawn into the cause are cats he'll try to pawn work off on, too, because it should be easy enough to convince them that since he's the son of the future leader of the Clans that they should do what he says and they'll gain Blazeclaw's favor, right? While he hates hunting and his chores in particular, he also has a hatred for fighting, hating how sore he feels after a spar and he hates the smell of sweat and blood that comes along with it; which is unfortunate, as he'll be expected to fight quite a bit in his lifetime. Fortunately, however, despite however much his laziness might imply otherwise, he can be quite the opponent when he decides to put his all into a fight (which is something he really doesn't want to do unless he really has to). Not that that's particularly special - it's essentially a requirement for the cause, but he'll still complain that he really isn't a fighter, even if he doesn't get a choice in the matter. The one thing that he does enjoy doing is swimming; he has a bit of an affinity for water, and he even enjoys playing around in the ocean when he gets the chance to, talking about how he wishes that they'd take over WaveClan after they have control of MarshClan in the privacy of his siblings or Burnrunner's kits, just so he can have more access to the ocean. He also has a habit of being a bit too casual with others - the cats he was raised with and tends to interact with the most aren't the most friendly type, and his casualness can, at times, get on their nerves. As he's quite the laid-back tom, he tends to get along with cats who are similarly laid-back, and cats who are uptight and strict are cats that tend to get on his nerves. Cats that are constantly getting on him to get to work or work harder are also cats that annoy him, as *he* thinks that he's working just fine and just hard enough, thank you very much. Compared to the rest of the cats in the "inner circle" of the Fire Coup, Splash could be seen as nicer than most cats there; when it comes to acting, he's certainly not anything special, but when it comes to genuine kindness he stands out. He's certainly not the nicest cat around, and he can be quite cruel and crass at times - if a cat he didn't like died, he'd definitely be one to celebrate that, and there are even times where it seems like he feels nothing at all - he does show some amount of care towards others, and is able to develop actual friendships rather than simply give himself fully to the cause, as most other cats that are a part of it are wont to do. While he seems like the type who would leave the cause as soon as he got the chance to, he certainly wouldn't; he's definitely not the most loyal cat around, but he also wants to have a place to belong more than he wants anything else, and if that place happens to demand that he needs to take over all three Clans then so be it.
