## Physical Description

Blossomspark is a skinny little cat, but you wouldn’t be able to tell that just by looking at her. Blossomspark is just about the fluffiest little cat you’ve ever seen. This child is mostly fluff. Her fur is light brown with a dusty cream muzzle and tail tip. She has four dusty cream paws and a dusty cream chest + belly. She has a darker brown saddle on her back, as well as having a mostly dark brown tail. There is a thin stripe of regular light brown between the cream and dark brown. She has dark brown ear tufts and two small dark brown lines under each of her pale minty green eyes.

## Personality

Blossomspark is a fiery cat. She is bold and unyielding. She believes she’s always right and she is fiercely protective of those she loves. Blossomspark is usually pretty amicable and makes friends easily. She is often sarcastic and prone to back-talking, but she knows how to stand up for what she believes in. Blossomspark is a firecracker and very energetic. She’s a pawful, but a very lovable one. She is very playful and curious. She loves exploring and is easily entertained. A couple pebbles or a stick could keep her busy for an afternoon. Blossomspark is also surprisingly immature, still acting like a kit most of the time. She still takes care of Ashwillow and is incredibly protective of those she cares about.

## Skills and Weaknesses

### Skills

Problem-solving - Blossomspark is very creative and loves figuring out new ways of doing things.

Tree-climbing - Blossomspark is very skilled when it comes to climbing trees. She can get up and down fairly well on her own.

### Weaknesses

Stubborn - Blossomspark can dig her heels in on just about any topic. She tends to be more close-minded and doesn't often change her opinion on anything.

Reckless - Blossomspark doesn't seem to care about her own well-being. She will charge into anything her impulsive little mind thinks of and rarely stops to thinks about consequences.

Hunting - Blossomspark can catch enough food to survive, but her catches are not neat or tidy in the slightest. She isn't very good at hunting.

Fighting - Blossomspark is so small. She can dodge fairly well, but her long fur gets in the way and between that and being an absolute shrimp of a cat, she sucks at fighting.

## Life

### Kithood

Blossom was born somewhere in the forest alongside her two sisters, Ash and Cinder. They lived in peace for three moons with their parents, Briar and Soot. Blossom was the ringleader of all the kits' escapades, but never really got in trouble due to being their mom's favorite.

This troublemaking came in handy when, one morning, Blossom challenged Ash to a tree-climbing contest. The two were high in the branches during the fox attack that claimed the lives of Briar, Soot, and Cinder. Blossom was devastated by the loss of her parents and sister, but kept up her sunny attitude in an attempt to help Ash. Her sister was all she had now and she rarely strays from her side.

By four moons old, the kits had strayed into Clan territory. While exploring, Blossom found a maple tree and challenged her sister to a race. Ash won, much to Blossom's surprise, so Blossom let her choose where to explore next. Ash hurt her nose on the tree, so it took her awhile to reply, but she eventually chose a large rock. They waited for Ash's nose to stop hurting, then went to explore ShadowClan territory. Blossom wanted to find "the best pine tree" so she could climb it. She started to climb, but was swiftly interrupted by the arrival of Mousepelt, a ShadowClan warrior. When asked what she was doing on ShadowClan land, Blossom did not have a good answer. Mousepelt, being nervous about trees in general, started interrogating Blossom about her tree-climbing ways, but Blossom didn't really care and started climbing the tree again. She continued talking to Mousepelt, then climbed back down. They exchanged names and Blossom did the usual loner thing of thinking that Clan names are weird. Ash was there too, by the way, but she wasn't doing too much. Mousepelt decided to ask about their parents for some reason and Blossom told her about the foxes that killed their parents. Mousepelt decided to be their mom and asked them if they wanted to join ShadowClan. Blossom and Ash didn't want to, so Mousepelt just tried to make sure they were doing okay. Blossom proceeded to demonstrate her hunting prowess by 'catching' Mousepelt's tail. It didn't go too well. Blossom is not ready to be self-sufficient.

About a moon later, Blossom and Ash returned to ShadowClan territory, once again determined to climb a tree. The two climbed a sturdy pine and started wondering about Mousepelt, the strange cat they'd met last time they'd been in the area. Both of them were very concerned about her and her apparent hatred of trees. Ash suggested that perhaps Mousepelt had moved somewhere where there were no trees and, being literal children who had never been outside the forest, Blossom and Ash struggled to picture a place devoid of trees. Blossom panicked slightly, realizing that she was brown and trees were brown, therefore she would go missing if there were no trees. Don't question the child's thought process. Suddenly, who other than Mousepelt appeared, so Blossom climbed down and posed the lack-of-trees question to her too. Mousepelt proposed the concept of grass and Blossom's mind blew up. How had she managed to forget about grass? Either way, Blossom and Ash came to the conclusion that trees are everywhere and were fairly confident in that assessment. Blossom asked why Mousepelt disliked trees so much and Mousepelt just told her that trees had killed several cats. Blossom quickly shut up.

At seven moons old, Blossom realized that she hadn't seen "that nice Mouse cat" in awhile and decided to go find her. This led to a day of searching ShadowClan's territory and eventually landed her in ShadowClan's camp in the middle of the night. She curled up and tried to go to sleep, resolving to keep looking in the morning. This did not work out, as Mousepelt quickly found her. They had a chat for a little while, then Mousepelt offered to take our errant adventurer home.

A little while after that midnight chat, Blossom and Ash were chilling in the forest and Ash got some sort of bug caught in her fur. After trying a few different things to get it out, the two of them waded in a river to get it out. After drying off (which took hours thanks to Bloss's thick fur), Blossom suggested that they go looking for Mousepelt again. Ash reluctantly agreed and Blossom led her to ShadowClan's camp. They climbed a tree, then came back down and started searching camp after it got dark. They got into an argument while looking in the nursery. Blossom felt bad about this. The two of them were then startled by the appearance of none other than Beetlestar, leader of ShadowClan. She once again explained her thoughts on Mousepelt versus Mouse. Mousepelt then woke up, fairly confused as to the presence of her adopted daughters in the ShadowClan nursery. Blossom and Ash got to meet their new little siblings. Blossom then got the bright idea to stay in the Clan to be closer to Mousepelt. She and Ash asked Beetlestar and he said yes. And so Blossom joined ShadowClan.

### Apprenticeship

At the age of eight moons, Blossom was apprenticed to Dustymoss, a ShadowClan warrior who was in WindClan at the time, recovering from a fox attack.

Later that moon, Blossom met Sootriddle, the ShadowClan deputy and Mousepelt's brother-in-law. They talked a bit about names and Mousepelt's new kits. She then asked him if he wanted to go hunting. He did, so they headed out toward the rogue lands where Blossom and Ash had grown up.

Blossom also got to know her baby brother, Shinekit, who she calls Shiny. She promised to find him a white flower.

One day after hunting, she came across Mousepelt in Deer Meadow. Mousepelt told her a little bit about Clawlight, Mousepelt's mate, and Blossom did her best to tell Mousepelt about her parents and sister. It didn't turn out well and Blossom trying to comfort Mousepelt turned into Mousepelt comforting Blossom.

When she was nine moons old, Blossom finally met her mentor, Dustymoss. They went to the training hollow for some battle training.

She talked to her sister Ash about some possible warrior names. Ash liked Ashstar and Blossom thought Blossomfrost might be cool. After that, they started talking about how to become leader and what happens when both the leader and the deputy die. Ash thought it might be an age thing while Blossom was set quite firmly in her theory of "most apprentices." Deciding that they really needed this problem solved, they went and found Beetlestar. The two started interrogating him about Clan life and leadership.

Blossom also met Buzzardstorm, an elder. She thought he was pretty cool, especially after finding out that his brother was Beetlestar. She also thought it was really cool that he had lived outside of ShadowClan and asked him what life in WindClan was like.

When she was ten, she met the newly-named Skipstorm. She thought his name was really cool, a first with Blossom as you might have noticed. They talked a little bit about leaders and Blossom didn't think that Skipstar sounded very good. Stormstar, though, that she liked \*coughtotallynotstillhunguponStormstepcough\*. She realized that the name Stormstar seemed to make Skipstorm sad for some reason, so she stopped talking about it and started babbling about her sister Ash instead.

Later that moon, she brought her brother Shinekit a daisy, the only white flower she could find. He showed her a cicada molt and they decided to track it down. This led them out of camp and, like the responsible cat she is, Blossom convinced him that leaving camp was totally okay as long as he stayed with her. It was not and Shinekit hurt his face. Blossom took him back to camp.

When she was eleven moons old, Mousepelt went missing, along with her daughter Morningthorn. Blossom was extremely confused and scared, but was certain that she'd have to come back. She talked about it with her sister Ash for a little while, then Mousepelt returned later that moon. Blossom was overjoyed and, for the first time, called Mousepelt Mom.

### Warrior Life

Blossom earned the name Blossomspark at thirteen moons old. I can only assume that she was given the name for her enthusiasm and her firecracker tendencies. (Orange says it was "her feisty and fiery personality" which is close enough.)

She took a walk with her sister Ash, who had gained the name Ashwillow, and the pair visited the Burn Scar. They debated for a bit about how it had burned and why nothing had grown back and figured there was a fire at some point. Blossomspark found the place horribly depressing and Ashwillow suggested they find somewhere else to hang out. Blossomspark suggested Deer Meadow, so off on their merry way they went. They stopped by Clawlight's grave for awhile, then decided to try and gather as many flowers as they could.

She also met Cricketspring, a brown tabby tom a few moons older than her. He seemed friendly enough and she decided that he was nice.

Later that moon, Blossomspark met Gustclaw, a grumpy tom a few moons her senior with an injured leg. He snarled at her a bit when she asked how his leg got injured, but Bloss just thought it was super cool that he fought a dog. She told him how she and Ashwillow had been born outside the Clans and he seemed surprised. He explained that he was also not Clanborn and

She also met Creamshine, a mute she-cat who confused her to no end. The mute warrior tried to communicate using some sort of sign language, but Blossomspark didn't understand. Creamshine tried to warn her of the approach of a bird of prey, but Blossomspark didn't get the message until nearly too late. Bloss managed to hide in a den, but Creamshine didn't move at all and got attacked by the bird.

She then saw Cricketspring again and sat down to chat with him again. Bloss really liked hanging out with Cricketspring. He mentioned that he was Clanborn and Blossomspark asked if his family was around. He mentioned that, while his moms and brother were, his sisters were both dead. This made Blossomspark feel bad, as death always does. She changed the subject and somehow StarClan got brought up. Bloss was still confused as to what StarClan was, so Cricket did his best to explain it to her.

Sometime after her chat with Cricketspring, she met another warrior, Cherryleaf. Cherryleaf noticed her playing with a beetle and mentioned that her old housefolk used to live near someone who liked bugs. Cherryleaf and Blossomspark quickly bonded over their non-ShadowClan heritage. They became fast friends.

After Cherryleaf, Blossomspark relaxed with her brother, Shinekit, who was worried about change and becoming an apprentice.

She then met Echobloom, a she-cat who had become a warrior at the same time as her. Echo asked if she would like to go hunting after it rained and Blossomspark said yes.

Sometime after that, she met Frogwhisper, a friend of Gustclaw's and the one who had been with the grumpy tom when the dog attacked. Blossomspark had wanted to hear more about the dog, so she went looking for Frogwhisper. He was nice enough but didn't seem to enjoy talking to her.

When Blossomspark was fifteen, she went to her first Gathering. She met a few cats from other Clans, but didn't see Ruespring, a ThunderClan she-cat she had promised to see at the Gathering. It was disappointing.

Later that moon, her sister Ashwillow took her to WindClan to meet Starlingpaw, a friend of Ash's. Blossomspark was hyper and overbearing, as we've come to expect from her. The three of them raced and Bloss nearly broke her nose running face first into a rock.

Many many moons later, after the deaths of Ashwillow and Cricketspring, at the age of 60 moons, Blossomspark died. She fell out of a tree trying to get a white flower for Shinesprout as she had once promised to do. She died with Mousepelt and Shinesprout by her side. RIP, floofy gal.

### Fun Facts

* Blossomspark had four potential siblings. Ashwillow was made into a PC and the other three became their dead family.
* Blossomspark really likes bugs, especially dragonflies. She likes their shiny wings.
* She also likes frogs. She thinks they're cute. Blossomspark wants a pet frog.
* Blossomspark has a fear of foxes because of how easily they killed her family. She also regrets not being there and partially blames herself for her parents' death.
* Blossomspark and Ashwillow's parents were killed by the same foxes who killed Stormstep and Dreamriver, the former characters of myself and Ashwillow's roleplayer.
* Call Me Maybe will probably end up as one of Blossomspark's theme songs.
* Going by her IRP birth date, Blossomspark would be a Capricorn. By the date I made her, she would be an Aquarius. She fits more into Aquarius, so that's what I'm going with as canon.
* I have an irrational love of hearing about Stormstep through other people, so Bloss is very inquisitive and doesn't know what boundaries are.
* She is very uncomfortable hearing about family deaths, though, due to her survivor's guilt about her own family's death.
* Blossomspark has a small verbal tic where she always says "ThunderClan" with a hiss, because that's the first way she learned it. Mousepelt has problems with ThunderClan and hissed when saying the word, so that's how Bloss says it.
* Blossomspark had some alterous attraction toward Cricketspring, not quite a crush but more than just friends. She didn't really understand her own feelings on the matter and thus never confessed anything to him or anyone else.
