## Apperance

Sprint'thorn is a thick-furred, broad-shouldered albino tom with large paws and ears, and a ruff around his neck like a lion's mane. He stands slightly taller than the average cat, being 9.10 inches tall. He has a long tail and sharp, almond-shaped eyes the color of fresh-kill blood. After death, his eyes became a milky red as though he is blind, although he can see fine, his fur semi-transparent and his leg wound no longer looks infected, although mysterious black goop slowly leaks out of it (headcanon of what happens to wounds when cats don't go to starclan).

## History

Sprintkit was found alongside his litter-mates Skitterkit, Slidekit and Skidkit in Flurryclan territory, abandoned by their parents. They were taken in and raised by the clan as a whole. When he was young, Sprintkit didn't believe in Starclan. He grew to be close friends with a number of cats, particularly **Spark'kit**, **Slidekit** and **Skidkit** (who was his closest littermate).

At one point Sprintkit became **Sprintpaw** alongside his litttermates and friends. He was given **Hollyslyvan** as a mentor, who unfortunately payed little attention to him, which is why he often tried to be close to the younger apprentices and kits of Flurryclan. To offer them at least a bit of the guidance he never had. At one point he developed a crush on a non-binary cat named **Pitayapaw** (Now known as Pitayapelt), although it was short lived. Sprintpaw also met three cats from Mossclan: A mysterious cat named **Flailpaw**, a friendly cat named **Surgepaw** and an annoying, hot-headed cat named **Smokepaw**. Unfortunately, his meeting with Surgepaw was cut short from a fox attack, where the two managed to flee with their lives.

After the mysterious disappearance of the stars, Sprintpaw was deeply concerned that they might not come back. Even if he had serious doubts about starclan's existence before, he couldn't simply ignore such a shocking, disturbing thing. In an attempt to get his mind off of it, he decided to go out patrolling, only to meet Flailpaw once again, who convinced him that the stars disappearing was actually a good thing, alongside revealing the fact that Heatherstar banished a cat for sneaking a kit out of camp without harming them and let her kits have full bellies while many more cats starved in leaf-bare. Appalled, Sprintpaw grew a strong disdain for Heatherstar, believing her to be a selfish hypocrite. He hesitantly agreed to help Flailpaw in overthrowing her, although he assumed at the time it was purely through peaceful means.

However, Sprintpaw felt something far fiercer than disdain the moment he saw **Mossystump** pad through the camp entrance. He was upset at the fact that a code breaker, especially one in a forbidden relationship like her expected to be let right into Flurryclan with open paws. He was even more upset when **Onyxstar** not only obliged, but also gave her barely a nip on the wrist as punishment. As a result, he began losing a lot of respect and kindness toward both Onyxstar and **Lightningdash**, who was Mossystump's once-forbidden mate

At one point, Sprintpaw went out hunting with Skidpaw to which he was nearly killed as the two tried to fight a aggressive fox, however still getting a minor injury. Paranoid, two and two were put together and the albino apprentice expressed his concerns to Skidpaw that the reason for the stars disappearing and the unusual amount of predators was Starclan punishing the clans for their codebreaking ways. His littermate brushed this off however, much to Sprintpaw's annoyance. At one point a while after, The tom met a beautiful she-cat by the name of **Vixenpaw**. After a few interactions and a wonderful night in the Flurryclan glades, Sprintpaw confessed his affections toward her, which turned out to be also felt by Vixenpaw. The two eagerly made plans of their next meeting. Everything was looking up for Sprintpaw, he had even made a few more friends by the name of **Blackberrypaw**, **Leafpaw**, **Sunnypaw** and **Lilypaw**. They had even joined a friend group with his older friends (excluding Skidpaw) from kithood.

After maybe moons of hard-work as an apprentice, Sprintpaw finally became Sprint'thorn, and was even given an apprentice by the name of **Harmonypaw**. However, celebrations were interrupted only a few days later, when Sprint'thorn noticed his fellow friends rushing to the apprentice den. He followed to see Blackberrypaw, only two moons younger than the rest of the cats in the friend group, fighting for her life as her infected injury was more notable than ever before. The young apprentice warned not to get harmed and told them that she (platonically) loved them before passing. Sprint'thorn was filled with solely grief until **Sparkspririt**, one of if not his closest friend, said why this was happening to Blackberrypaw. Why this had happened to so many of her loved ones. It was one cat, one medic...**Brilliantglare**. *Her* apathy and slowness towards healing other cats resulted in the deaths of not only their friend, but also Sparkspirit's adopted mother **Streambird** and her sister **Lark'kit**. This caused fierce division between the friend group. Sparkspirit wanted revenge while Leafshade didn't wish to hurt Brilliantglare at all. Meanwhile, Sprint'thorn desired for some way to chase her out of Flurryclan permanently. To stop the suffering without hurting her, at least not too badly.

Unfortunately for Sprint'thorn, his leg wound got worse and he had to go to Brilliantglare for medical attention at the demands of his clanmates. He was given some herbs on his infected injury before the two departed. However, it was not enough and Sprint'thorn died of his lesion only a pawful of days after. He now walks across Flurryclan territory as a shade, desiring some way to take revenge for his death.

## Personality

Sprintkit was friendly, outgoing and compassionate when he was young, always eager to help those in need. He deeply admired Onyxstar when he was young. As an apprentice, Sprintpaw became a bit more mature and less energetic, although he kept his firm loyalty to the code and Flurryclan. Upon discovering about Lightningdash's forbidden relationship and Onyxstar's response to it, the apprentice slowly became bitter toward the leader, thinking he was too soft to lead. At the point of Blackberrypaw's death his personality made a 180 turn. He was still compassionate in his heart, but Sprint'thorn became much more cold and quick-tempered, holding a hatred-filled grudge toward Brilliantglare for, at least in his beliefs, being the cause of his friend's death and the suffering of Sparkspirit. The only reason he didn't want to take revenge toward the medic was because of his concern at his friend's mental healths taking a toll from killing another cat.
