#### Detailed Personality

Sprucefur is a smart, very social, and kindly tom who gets along with people well. He loves having meaningful conversations and getting to know people, and creating bonds and new friendships. He's super caring and very loving, and will compliment his family and friends a lot. He's very protective of his friends and family also, but usually silently since he's not much of a bold cat. He's non-confrontational and doesn't like getting in drama or fights, so he's usually seen as cowardly or not making an effort to make things better. He does want to, but he just can't find it in himself to do it sometimes.

## Backstory

### Kithood

Sprucekit was born along with two unnamed brothers, who were stillborn. He was the only surviving kit of his litter and therefore cherished by his mother, Dappledsand, due to being the second litter of his mother. He didn't know why, but she seemed very distracted occasionally, and she'd mistake his name for a cat named Beechkit, or sometimes she'd say Beechpaw. He didn't know that cat but he internally slightly felt like he wasn't as good.

Sprucekit often watched another kit in the nursery, who was a moon younger, called Poppykit, and her brother Earthkit. His parents never let him talk to Poppykit for some reason, but due to being neglected often Earthkit visited Dappledsand and Sprucekit a lot, and they were pretty good friends.

### Apprenticeship

Sprucepaw was apprenticed to Wingflight, a young, pretty white she-cat with a similar personality to his. He talked to her a lot and asked a bunch of questions about herself, and got to know her well. He told her some things in exchange and they got along as if they were siblings.

Sprucepaw also saw another apprentice called Sandpaw, who he got along with fairly well, and they talked from time to time. They didn't get to talk much though, since Sprucepaw was very focused on training and becoming the best warrior!

He passed his final assessment at twelve moons old and earned his warrior name that night, along with Poppypaw, Sandpaw, and another two apprentices named Sweetpaw and Sleekpaw.

### Warrior Life

Sprucepaw earned the warrior named Sprucefur for his fur. He thought the others had generally cooler names, but he was just excited to be a warrior none-the-less. His mentor was very proud of him and they were very happy for a bit.

Sprucepaw began to catch feelings for a very pretty young warrior who was made a warrior alongside him, called Sleekstem. He thought she was nice and attractive and began to make friends with her, but his parents pulled him aside one day and asked him nicely and as not forceful as they could if he could try and get along with Poppytail, because she really liked him. He was a bit bummed that he wouldn't get to be with Sleekstem, but he was happy if his parents were happy, so he did what they asked and they ended up as mates.

Sprucefur learned to love Poppytail, and she told him not even three moons after they became mates that she wanted to try and have kits. Sprucefur was surprised that this was so sudden and abrupt, but warmed up to the idea and thought it would be nice to have some children. So they tried for some, and ended up with a single she-kit they called Gingerkit. He wanted to interact with her often but he was pretty busy and thought she was safe with her mother, which sort of backfired. He wondered why his daughter grew up so shy and anxious, but he respected her boundaries and didn't push her to talk about anything when he saw she was uncomfortable about the topic.

He was proud of her when she became an apprentice, then a warrior, and loved his family to death. He saw Poppytail yell at Gingerrose once about the bloodline dying and not having a mate and all that jazz, and was severely disappointed in his mate and pitiful for his daughter, but being Sprucefur he didn't say anything because he didn't want to start trouble and he wanted to keep the family together.

Now he just vibes. He hasn't been used much but he's having a good time.
