Fennelspring

Fennelspring is one of nine main protagonists in TSC, the others being Calladawn, Chimeleap, Palewillow, Linnpoppy, Bluebellpetal, Mothskip, Milkdapple, and Plumeriadust. Due to an infection as a newborn, Fennelspring has grown up with a severely weakened immune system. Ever hopeful and stalwart, Fennelspring tries her best to keep up with her Clanmates. Fennelspring is the sole POV character in ShoreClan.

## General Characteristics

### Appearance

Fennelspring is a light brown she-cat with green eyes. Her fur is soft and sleek and she tends to be on the smaller side thanks to her health factors. She has a lighter muzzle, paws, and tail tip, along with butterfly wing-like patterns under each eye and a small locket on her chest. She has darker brown on her ear tips, one stripe on each paw, and three stripes on her tail.

#### Physical Strengths and Weaknesses

Fennelspring's most glaring weakness is, of course, her poor immune system. She nearly dies like five times a year. Winter is very dangerous to her because of the abundance of diseases that are prevalent during that time of year. She's very careful and rarely gets to go to Gatherings, but she's okay with that. She also can have a hard time catching her breath. She really doesn't have much in the way of strengths.

### Personality

+: Eager, Diligent, Hard-working, Talented, Trusting, Loyal

## Background

### Early Life/Before Chapter 1

Fennelspring and her two siblings were born prematurely and very weak. Stemkit, her sister, died almost immediately and Fennelkit got very sick. She made it through, however, only to lose her brother Tuftkit two moons later. By some miracle, Fennelkit survived. There isn't much hope for her, but she is determined to live.

## Relationships and Other

### Familial Relationships

Stemkit - Fennelspring only remembers that she had a sister because of her parents. She misses her nonetheless and is glad that, someday, she'll get to talk to her sister.

Tuftkit - Fennelspring was very close to her brother when he was alive and, like Stemkit, she is excited to see him again.

Elmbreeze - Fennelspring's very anxious father. She loves her father, even if he doesn't always know what's best.

Sunnyglide - Fennelspring loves her mother. Sunnyglide's health gets worse every moon and Fennelpaw does her best to be there for her.

### Friendships

Linnpaw - Fennelspring got along rather well with Linnpaw before she left for CoveClan. Since her mentor is Sableflicker, the cat who raised Linnpaw and was thought to be her father, Fennelpaw ended up hanging out with Linnpaw quite often. Linnpaw visited her in the medicine den several times when she was still in the Clan.

Sableflicker - Fennelspring and her mentor get along rather well. Sableflicker tries to keep her included, even though the other apprentices don't particularly like her.

### Clanmates

Fennelspring likes her Clanmates well enough, but that doesn't stop the other apprentices from picking on her.

Poppyglow - Linnpaw's mother has always been kind to Fennelspring.

Icystar - Icystar sees the potential in Fennelspring, a fact she's always been grateful for.

Tundrastorm - Unlike his sister, the SC deputy has done little to earn Fennelspring's love. His daughters, Wishpaw and Ivorypaw, always reject and exclude her and he refuses to do anything about it.

Wishpaw and Ivorypaw - Fennelspring does not get along with the deputy's daughters. While normally sweet and gentle, Wishpaw and Ivorypaw have a bad habit of stigmatizing Fennelpaw.

Batpaw - Unlike Wishpaw and Ivorypaw, Batpaw is rarely nice to anyone. Barely tolerated by her mentor Snailsplash and openly hated by most other SC cats, Batpaw is exceptionally rude to Fennelspring.

### Other Clans/Outsiders

For the other Clans, Fennelspring mostly has to go off the stereotypes she gets from her Clanmates. TorrentClan is a bunch of pretentious traditionalists, IsleClan are all snobs, etc. She doesn't really know them well enough to make her own judgements.
