## **History**

### **Paws of Stars**

#### **Rising Sun**

Driftleap plans to be more united but decides to go on a solo search for new members, finding in the marshes Lobsterpaw and Quillsmoke agree while the latter agrees to take the role of a medicine cat. He also convinces Pike, Minnow, Torrent, and Sand to join but feels dissatisfied with the number of cats. Sand can only think of the many journeys she can go on now, a whole territory she can explore, but she keeps these thoughts to herself as she is named Sandpaw and apprenticed to Piketuft.

Driftstar decides to take Torrentpaw and Piketuft with apprentice Sandpaw to the Frogplace and plans to have Torrentpaw catch his first fish, Piketuft wants to battle train as a precaution with Sandpaw. Sandpaw struggles to pick up on fighting skills, but Piketuft's careful explanation gets some blows on him. She returns home happy as she catches a minnow, her first catch.

Lightningpaw and Foxpaw quickly look around till they see Torrentpaw and Sandpaw of DriftClan talking, quickly walking up to them. Torrentpaw gives an annoyed growl, but Sandpaw puts her tail over his muzzle and greets them and is overwhelmed by the many questions they ask about DriftClan, apprentice life, and their backgrounds to Torrentpaw's laughter as Sandpaw answers slowly and awkwardly.

## **Personality and Relationships**

### **Personality**

Sandpaw is always thinking of what awaits her beyond the horizon. Ever since she was a kit loved to explore the marshes, but her parents didn't let her get too far. Now, being in DriftClan and with the entire marsh and beaches belonging to her and her Clan, she loves to be on her own, find fun objects, and carefully count any objects she finds, even if they belong to twolegs. Piketuft tried to make her more cautious, and while he was a great mentor to Sandpaw, making her a decent fighter and good fisher, his caution only made her attempt to adventure more. Even now, she likes to sneak out of her nest at night and explore, sometimes crossing territories. While she likes her Clan camp, she doesn't like being stuck in for too long, and her habit of sneaking out has made her very quiet at night, and has never gotten caught sneaking out. Sometimes when she is bored, she likes to try land hunting but doesn't really understand it.

### ****Sandpaw****

Sandpaw is Torrentpaw's awkward friend; their first encounter was unpleasant, to say the least. First off, she accidentally stepped on his tail, and he hissed at her to buzz off with her hissing back. Still, after becoming an apprentice and explaining the annoying situation to her mentor Piketuft he told her to try to talk to him in the morning as they and Driftstar would go on a border and fishing patrol. Torrentpaw first arrogantly ignored her but did feel somewhat bad and agreed to be somewhat friends with her, they care about each other and tell each other what happens, but they mostly mind to themselves but try to be congenial. Sandpaw likes to sneak out, and sometimes Torrentpaw will go with her for fun, make sure she is okay, and practice battle moves.
