### Personality

Specklednose is a medicine cat for Riverclan, he's very deticated to his job and generally neglegts emotional connection in his adult life. He's not crule, rude, or snarky, but he also does not engage in casual conversation while treating cats, and much of the clan considers in eccentric due to the fact that on the occasion he speaks beyond nessasity he tends to overshare and tell other cat's his thoughts with no filter, or ask invasive questions.

### History

Specklednose, as an apprentice, was much more friendly and open. He was still rather quite and reserved, but wouldnt hesitate to engage in friendly conversation when the opportunity arose. He was one of the few cats to befriend Cricket during her apprentice training. She would often injury herself while overworking herself or being too aggresive in battle training, meaning he saw a lot of her.

He didnt exactly *like* her, but he found her very unusual and was alwasy curious to hear what she had to say, or the outlandish reasons for her injuries.

Early in his training, Speckledpaw became very close with Pebblepaw. They had somewhat of a puppy love type young realtionship, where Speckledpaw would slack in his training, running out of camp with Pebblepaw. he'd often tell his mentor Weaslebelly he was going out to get herbs or memorize where to find them, but play in the river and hang out with Pebblepaw, only returning with one or two sprigs of random herbs he found on the way home.

A few moons into his training, as hes around 10 moons old, Weaslebelly become sick with an unknown illness (Yellow cough) and is unable to trian him well. Speckledpaw was pretty close with his mentor, but is distracted by Pebblepaw and dosent realize the seriousness of her illness until around a week and a half before she passed.

Towards the end of her life, Specklednose puts in slightly more time to training. However when she passes, Specklednose realizes he has no idea what hes doing alone. He is guided by Starclan thorugh dreams and the Moon Stone to learn what he skiped out on. However, despite his competence in the future, he always feels inadaqute at his job. He pushed his mate away, feeling as though if he had been more focused, he couldve saved Weaslebelly, and/or been a better med cat for his clan. He knows deep down he couldnt save her, but even with that, he feels hes inadaqute and its due to this.

He feels extream guilt pushing Pebblepelt away, and is pained to ignore him. He hopes Pebblepelt recognizes this isnt what he wants, but it goes unnoticed. He drowns himself in his work to try and avoid this pain, and to make something of him self and make the pain mean something by using to to be a better med cat.

He is killed by Cricket while looking for herbs. He goes to Starclan and regularly watches over and trys to help Pebblepelt in his afterlife, often spending nights with the clans and sleeping in Pebblepelt's nest.
