Poolspots

Poolspots is a warrior of Lakeclan under Ivystar. Her parents are Ivystar and Cedartail and her siblings are Patchpine and Ferndawn. She is a thick-furred tortoiseshell she-cat with amber eyes. Poolspots is loyal and intelligent, but hot-headed and quick to jump to conclusions.

Life:

Poolkit was born in the height of leaf-bare. A greencough outbreak when she was a young kit killed her father and thrust her mother into the position of leader, pulling her away from the nursery. The "loss" of both her parents made her terrified of losing anyone else, so she attached herself to her brother Patchkit and would never leave his side. Their third littermate, Fernkit, felt excluded and the two sisters grew apart. When they were apprenticed, the fact that Patchpaw and Poolpaw weren't given mentors only solidified their bond. They would just go with whatever mentor had time for them, and they ended up becoming a powerful duo, both when hunting and fighting. Poolpaw's argumentative yet fun-loving nature either drew in or pushed away other cats, and by the time she became a warrior, most of the clan either loved or hated her. Now named Poolspots, she and Patchpine continued to train, both secretly harboring dreams of becoming deputy or even leader. But when her brother fell for the fierce apprentice Honeypaw, Poolspots whole world shook. Patchpine had been the one constant in her life for as long as she could remember, and although she wanted nothing more then for him to be happy, she didn't know how to navigate this sudden shift in her life. After a conversation with her mother, she resolved to reach out to Ferneyes, but years of exclusion and rivalry had left both she-cats with more resentment than they'd realized. A fierce argument ensued, and they ended up more distant than when they began. Both of them made tentative attempts at repairing their relationship, but privately thought it was a lost cause. Poolspots was given her first apprentice, Flickerpaw, and training her alongside Patchpine and his apprentice made the siblings resume their close relationship. Flickerpaw was stubborn and feisty, and Ivystar wondered if she was too difficult for a new mentor. But Poolspots saw something of herself in the she-cat, and they ended up being a great match. Poolspots was content with her apprentice and her brother, and tried her best to ignore the situation with Ferndawn, but Ivystar wasn't going to let her daughters feud. After Ferneyes gave birth to her first litter, Ivystar heavily encouraged (forced) Poolspots to try and reach out. Despite the fact that it was still awkward, the sisters eventually reconciled and began rebuilding their relationship. Though she doesn't want kits or a mate of her own, Poolspots enjoys watching over her sisters kits and teasing Patchpine about his relationship with Honeydapple. For now, she is focusing on training Flickerpaw and has temporarily put her dreams of leadership on hold in favor of enjoying her youth.
