Sparrowdance

**Sparrowdance** was formerly a warrior of RiverClan and is remembered throughout the forest as being one of the most lawful and moral cats to have ever lived. She is regarded as a hero for her actions during the Twolegplace Revolt, and is often used as an exemplary figure when kits are taught about the Warrior Code and doing what is right.

She was the daughter of a leader and a deputy who served her Clan loyally until her last breath. At only sixteen moons old, she was exiled for standing up to her tyrannical leader, Tanglestar, but she did not allow that to stop her. She gathered support within twolegplace and multiple Clans, and was killed at the young age of twenty-nine moons in the last battle to overthrow Tanglestar. Her sacrifice saved her Clanmates from what could have been years of unnecessary bloodshed.

## **Appearance & Personality**

### **Physical Description**

Sparrowdance is a small, long-haired calico-and-white molly. Her fur is thick and fluffy, and her pelt is mottled with tabby patches of brown, black, and russet. The colored splotches cover the majority of her body with only a few splashes of white shining through. Her eyes are bright and golden, her whiskers are long and straight, and her tail is bushy with a downwards kink near the tip. Her ears are small and cone-shaped and she has a wide, blunt muzzle. She has broad shoulders and a short, ruffle-furred neck, and although she is not tall, her bearing and attitude still makes her appear to tower over other cats. The colors and markings on her face vaguely resemble those of a common sparrow.

When she was alive, she had a long pink scar slashed across the back of her shoulders, parting the thick fur of her neck. She received it from a badger during her apprenticeship and it never fully faded. The mark disappeared once she joined the ranks of StarClan.

## **Trivia**

* Sparrowdance's favorite prey has always been fish- specifically perch, although she only had it twice in her life.
* While her kits were still in training, Sparrowdance expressed to Sprucefang that she wanted Poolpaw's warrior name to be Poolpoppy in honor of Poppystar. Later on, however, Sprucestar did not have the heart to pass on his mate's name just yet, and so he settled for the next closest thing: Poolpopple.
* Sparrowdance is a perfectionist with OCD tendencies.
