### Living:

Dusk Fury

Spirepaw is a Gorseclan apprentice under Nightstar's leadership in the Valley Territories. She was born as **Spirekit** to Wolfsky and Moonbranch with her littermates, Ravenpaw and Howlkit. Nightstar and Songleap fostered Howlkit after Moonbranch died of whitecough, and Wolfsky seemed to abandon his kits. **Spirepaw** took the path of medicine cat and was mentored by Whistlepuddle.

## **History**

### **Post-New Clans**

Born at the beginning of Leaffall with her sisters, Spirekit was the funny and energetic one of the sisters. However, her father was not in the clan, having gone missing a moon before her birth, but Moonbranch made sure to keep her kits happy. Spirekit usually had fun playing with Howkit's need to be the leader in their games, while Ravenkit followed along while their mother carefully watched them. After their father's rescue, they soon grew close to him, who would always bring them beetle shells Spirekit would keep a collection.

Spirekit would keep these happy memories deep in her heart as during that leaf-bare, her mother contracted Whitecough and perished, which caused their father to distance himself from them permanently. However, she was enraged at Ravenkit's foe being mean to Howlkit, with whom she grew closer as the days passed. Spirekit saw her life grow happier when Songleap and Nightstar fostered her and her sisters and even happier when Songleap had kits. Nevertheless, Spirekit wants to stay in the nursery and wishes she could stay an apprentice, not just due to her energetic nature but because she fears she won't be a good warrior for Gorseclan. Due to this, she may become a medicine cat as she hears cats whispering in her ears as of late.

## **Personality and Relationships**

### **Personality**

Spirepaw has always been the goofy and jumpy of Moonbranch and Wolfsky's kit, ready to raise the mood any way she can. Even after her mother's death, she kept her personality, at least to Howlpaw anyway; she also feels clan life doesn't suit her and believes she will fail somehow. However, she is also sharper and more aware after moons of constant whispering in her ears, which was the reason Whistlepuddle choose her as her apprentice and she is silently happy she won't have to train to be a warrior.

### **Ravenpaw**

Spirepaw is Ravenpaw's sister; Spirekit always asks questions to Ravenkit about anything. Ravenkit entertained this till their mother's death, where she hissed at Spirekit when she asked if Moonbranch was coming back, which Ravenkit bluntly told her no. Like Howlkit, Spirekit stopped talking to Ravenkit after the birth of Songleap's kits, trying one last time to reconnect with her only to be rebuffed. Spirepaw and her now only rarely see each other due to Spirepaw being a medicine cat and Ravenpaw being a apprentice.

### **Howlpaw**

Spirepaw is Howlpaw's sister; always competing in kithood games, the two sisters grew even closer, comforting each other in their times of morning and loss, which has made them inseparable ever since their mother's death doing anything together no matter what happens they know that they have each other back. At the same time, the sister slowly split apart with Howlpaw taking the life of warrior training and Spirepaw the life of a medicine cat.
