## History

Ravenspot is found by the first GalaxyClan founders at the age of 4 moons, alongside other three kits: Squirrelkit, Aspenkit and Cinderkit, his littermate. His kit personality is 'Daydreamer'. Having reached 6 moons, Ravenpaw is apprenticed to Sandstar, which later makes his brother jealous, as Cinderpetal's mentor, Whiskerheart, is rumored not to be worthy the deputy position. Upon being made a warrior, Ravenspot becomes a great teacher, a skill he might have picked up from his mentor. He also grows into a rather tall cat, towering over his brother, who, having once been the bigger of the two, can't help but envy Ravenspot. However, the tabby tom doesn't let that get to him, instead finding the situation amusing.

In Year 1, when Ravenspot is first introduced, he is 17 moons old and, despite his fierce nature, he appears as a rather sensible cat, understanding that while he can take on a rogue, fighting a larger creature, e.g. a dog, would be very dangerous - something he learnt as an apprentice, witnessing Sandstar facing off a dog on his own. Ravenspot is also more confident than his peers and doesn't feel the need to prove himself besides providing for his clan. Him and Aspenlily are spending time together more than Aspenlily does with other young warriors.

During Year 2, Ravenspot is worried for Aspenlily, who got a small eye scar while fighting a rogue, and is checking on the younger tom in the medicine cat den. Since that day the two begin to spend even more time together and become mates later that year.

During year 3, Ravenspot gets Hoppaw, one of Burdockfoot's kits, as his apprentice and does his best training her. Aspenlily is very proud of how good a mentor his mate is, talking about how Ravenspot has deputy potential. And while Ravenspot is too humble to agree with him, Aspenlily's predictions are proven right when Ravenspot does become deputy in Year 5.

In year 4, during the CreekClan battle, Ravenspot is fighting Waterfoot. He is struggling, but Bluelight shows up and drags the white she-cat off of Ravenspot. After the battle, there is a border skirmish, which featured Burdockfoot, Shrewpatch, Ravenspot, and Brokentail from CreekClan. Burdockfoot and Shrewpatch attack the she-cat, but Ravenspot stops them. After Stoneleaf is exposed, Ravenspot refuses to let Cinderpetal be alone, and listens to his brother as he gets all his anger out, as he had romantically loved the cat, and felt betrayed by his actions towards Duskcloud. Later that year, while out on patrol, Ravenspot spots two abandoned kits and a hawk flying above them. He quickly jumps to protect them from the big bird, gaining an eye scar as a result. When he brings the kits to camp, he and Aspenlily decide to bring them up as their own, naming them Hazelkit and Tawnykit. Both Ravenspot and Aspenlily are very proud of their adopted sons and excited to see them grow up. Although Year 4 is rather rough on the clan, Ravenspot and his family are doing relatively well.

Unfortunately, Year 5 is much harsher as both of Ravenspot and Aspenlily's adopted sons die to an unidentified sickness, which some cats called Stonecough. Hazelrunner dies at 15 moons, and Tawnysun only 2 moons later. After Sandstar's death, Burdockfoot becomes Burdockstar, and she chooses Ravenspot as her deputy, and even though he is still grieving, Ravenspot is doing a great job with deputy duties. After a few moons, when the grief has passed a little, Ravenspot and Aspenlily talk about having another litter, this time with the help of a surrogate.

In year 6, these plans come to life as Ravenspot and Aspenlily have their first biological litter, Patchkit, Fernkit, and Cinderkit, with the help of Specklenose, a loner they had brought in, as a surrogate mother. Both toms are very protective of their kits, and while Ravenspot is out of camp patrolling at the time of that year's rogue attack, Aspenlily protects the nursery. Ravenspot is very proud of his mate, though wishes he was there to help. On the other hand, that could have led to Ravenspot being another assassination target. By the end of the year, Ravenspot's new kits are already apprentices and Patchpaw in particular really looks up to him.

In year 7, Ravenspot is doing his best trying to lessen Burdockstar's stress, making sure the clan runs well and trying to settle border disputes when he can, having even chased out a few invaders. He is also entrusted by Burdockstar with another apprentice, Mintpaw, and does his best training him, despite the young tom's standoffish attitude. Both Ravenspot and Aspenlily are very proud of their three grown-up kits, Patchwing, Fernheart, and Cinderspeck, and support them the best they can. At the end of the year, Specklenose is expecting another litter of kits for them.

During year 8, Patchwing was murdered. Ravenspot and the rest of his family heavily grieved her. However, Specklenose gave birth to the Ravenspot's and Aspenlily's litter, but one of three kits - Shellkit, died, as he was born weak. The rest of the kits were good, and at the time they were apprentices; Cloudpaw and Spirepaw. Ravenspot was also happy with seeing Cinderspeck's son - Molepaw. However, he is not happy with his former apprentice - and his daughter's, Fernheart's former mate - Mintsplash, who was harassing her. They've also had kits - which Fernheart didnt really want, looking at her young age. Ravenspot and Specklenose were fighting with Mintsplash over how terrible he is to Fernheart. At that time, his grand-kits were apprentices - Mintpaw, Eaglepaw and Darkpaw.

Year 9 was horrifying for Ravenspot. Firstly, Specklenose died to a dog, And later Aspenlily was murdered. Mintsplash killed Ravenspot's mate in cold blood, while he was alone. Ravenspot couldn't take it, the rage and anger while seeing the cat who harassed his daughter. He accidentally killed him in his fit of rage. The deputy excused himself of being angry with all of this - Burdockstar didn't punish him, she understood him. Then Ravenspot decided he did not want to continue as a deputy, and Brightmask was chosen has his replacement. As Burdockstar died, the new leader was Brightstar, whom Ravenspot was happy for. The tom had a harsh time, and all of his living kin supported him during that time.

Year 10 was the last year of living Ravenspot. During the SharpClan battle, Ravenspot and Cinderpetal are faced off to Larkwilow and Stanspot. Ravenspot smells milk and kit scent on Larkwillow, and decides not to fight a queen. While Ravenspot is distracted, Stanspot rushes at him, pinning him. Cinderpetal attacks Stanspot, taking him off his brother, and also killing Stanspot. Cinderpetal and Ravenspot rush back to camp because of the dark gray tom's injury. The former deputy moved to the elders den with his littermate. Later then, Ravenspot died to Greencough. He met with his mate in StarClan, and other cats who were either close to him or his family. Ravenspot left his brother, Cinderpetal as the only clan founder alive.

## Trivia

* He and Aspenlily have matching eye scars, though on different sides.
* Ravenspot has been drawn with his mate on almost every lineup. The only exceptions to this are: Year 1 (they hadn't become mates yet), Year 9 (Aspenlily's death year) and the StarClan lineup in Year 10, as Nyoko said that she couldn't as the pictures were already merged together.
