Paws of Stars

**Cresspelt** is a current EagleClan warrior under Eaglestar's leadership in the Valley Territories. He was born as **Cresskit** to Oatwhisker and Appledawn in WindClan. As an apprentice, **Cresspaw** was mentored by Crowfur. He completed his training, becoming **Cresspelt**, and later joined EagleClan after the disaster. Cresspelt later became false mates with Valkyriecatcher to help her one-up her sister, but both cats actually fell in love and became official mates.

## **History**

### **Paws of Stars**

#### **Rising Sun**

Cresspelt immediately took up the opportunity to join a Clan, especially one whose territory was similar to his old Clan's. Valkyriecatcher couldn't help herself, despite Prancepelt saying nothing had happened in SunClan recently, she didn't want to be on the same level as her, so she blurted out she and Cresspelt were mates; Prancepelt was happy for her, but when Valkyriecatcher told Cresspelt about this back at camp he in a flirting tone said they could try to be fake mates to Valkyriecatcher's fluster and embarrassment.

EagleClan scent fills the air as Owlswoop enters, charging and rolling over Mudspots as more warriors, Ibiswing, Cresspelt, Valkyriecatcher, Stormdusk, and young Winterpaw with Frostheart and Eaglestar himself there as well. Winterpaw charges the nursery, finding Morningsky protected by Foxpaw whom she bats and draws blood from, but all three reel back as they hear Cresspelt fighting and hissing with Fallenstreak, who is being slowly pinned.

## **Personality and Relationships**

### **Personality**

Cresspelt is the jokester of EagleClan. Despite growing up in a time of war, Cresspelt loved making jokes as an apprentice to cheer up those in his den and felt no reason to prove himself as he was already a gifted warrior. Cresspelt is jumpy and acts over-dramatic in situations that keep patrols with him light-hearted and fun, many saying he would be a good mentor. He is also usually kind to other cats and helps those who suffer from pain, but he will fight to protect his clan and clanmates.

### **Valkyriecatcher**

Cresspelt is Valkyriecatcher's mate; Valkyriecatcher and Cresspelt had originally been enemies when Valkyriecatcher, at the time Valkyriepaw of ShadowClan was in the battle of WindClan camp to stop Mudstar. Cresspaw, then a WindClan apprentice, actually battled her to protect the elder's den to protect his father, Oatwhisker. Valkyriepaw, with her sister Prancepaw almost defeated him until the battle ended. The two saw each other again when Cresspelt joined EagleClan, which was awkward as they remembered each other. However, Cresspelt's joker attitude, mixed with Valkyriecatcher's competitive nature, made for a nuclear but healthy friendship. This friendship ended, making Cresspelt the first name Valkyriecatcher blurted out as a mate to her sister. At first, seeing this as a perfect joke, Cresspelt agreed to be "mate" and purposely acted flirtatiously around her, which made Valkyriecatcher flustered. This made a friendship a romance as Cresspelt soon stopped acting and asked Valkyriecatcher if they could truly be mates, to which she happily agreed. The relationship is still mostly the same, now a nuclear health relationship, and Cresspelt is still flirtatious to get Valkyriecatcher flustered, but now it's actually real.

### **Ibiswing**

Ibiswing and Cresspelt are argumentative friends; Cresspelt and Ibsiwing started their friendship when Ibiswing, not a morning cat, was woken up by a loudly yawning and joking Cresspelt. Immediately, Ibiswing told him to keep his jaw shut, which annoyed Cresspelt, and everyone soon learned never to put the two on patrol together or they would argue for hours. However, it became clear the two grew a weird bond from this as they would fiercely defend each other from other cats and banter occasionally. Their friendship is definitely nuclear as they can go from laughter to arguing, but they care about each other at least.
