Medium honey-brown with cream-yellow paws and a white muzzle, he also has amber eyes.

Handsome, he has full neck fur.

## Personality

* **Likable** - Eaglespark is confident in a people-person way, in which he knows he is good at a lot of things, but does not let that cloud his modesty. He says ‘Hello!’ to everyone, and likes to think of everyone as his friend.
* **Open** - Eaglespark is a very good listener. He was once stubborn and closed off until he met his kittypet friend, Chink, who taught him to be open to advice and others’ ideas.
* **Ambitious** - He strives towards what he wants, no matter the risk or danger. Whether it is a position or a cat, he never backs down from an opportunity to take what is his.
* **Honest** - He always tells the truth in a situation that calls for it, though sometimes he can twist it a little for his benefit. He always tells others just exactly what he believes in.
* **Approval-seeking** - He most often needs validation for his accomplishments. His brother, Kimber, was always the one his mother and father loved the most, so he always wanted to impress them. This led to him wanting to be seen and noticed even in his adult-life.
* **Charming** - He turns on the charm for everyone, turning situations into instances where he can make small jokes and jibes just to lighten the scene up. He enjoys when someone else does it back to him as well. This can lead to flirtatiousness as well, and that comes on naturally.
* **Empathetic** - He always helps someone in need of it. He has learned that people make mistakes, and how you choose to fix them is what matters. He doesn’t hold many grudges, except to his parents and his brother.
* **Warm** - He comforts those who seek it. He doesn’t back down if he knows someone needs help from someone, and he loves cats of all gender, sexual and romantic orientations.
* **Helpful** - When a situation calls for it, he looks for anything he can do to help someone or something however he can.
* **Proud** - If a cat insults him or is rude about anything that he is involved in (clan/rank/abilities), he will lash out. Words are usually preferred, as he is a peaceful cat usually, but sometimes his anger will get the best of him and violence will seem like the best option. Anger blinds him in these instances, so he does not see reason.
* **Bashful** - Eaglespark can’t take a compliment without blushing or gently denying it with modesty. He gets flustered easily with cats that he holds dear to his heart, though this is not the case with acquaintances or cats he does not like.

## Kithood

Eaglespark, at the time called Quin, was born to Rasha and Tulio of Twolegplace, with his littermate Kimber. They were close, but Kimber got all of the attention and credit for everything that Quin did, so he had to learn to fend for himself.

Kimber had never been the nice one. It was always Quin who was there to comfort their friends, to be kind to someone who needed it, but never Kimber. Kimber was brash and tedious and rude and bounced from place to place, while Quin was understanding and warm and helpful and always committed to his brothers. Kimber had vowed that he would never, not ever, have kits of his own, but Quin welcomed the idea of starting a family.

One day, Tulio, their harsh and horrible father, was killed by a monster on the Thunderpath. Rasha, their mother, didn‘t come out of her den for two moons. Quin took care of Kimber and provided for his every need, and vowed that once Rasha came out of her depression they would leave this place. Kimber asked why, and Quin explained the years of neglect that their parents had given Quin. Kimber agreed to leave with him, sad that he hadn’t ever noticed this before.

When Rasha came out, Kimber broke the news that they were leaving. She lashed out and gave Kimber a scar across the chest, and Quin had to hold her back before she could do any more damage. He pushed her inside her den and spat out all of the hate and neglect that she had given him over the moons. Rasha was appalled. They left immediately after.

## Teenage (Basically His Apprenticeship)

The brothers settled near a spot north of the clans, where Quin met a cat named Chink, who was a black-and-white tom-cat who lived with his Twolegs. Chink decided to join Kimber and Quin on their adventures, leaving his home with his Twolegs. They all decided to act as if they were bound by blood, so they were addressed as brothers.

They frolicked, having fun and being kids again. Quin was glad that he was free of his horrid parents.

## Adult-life

One day, Kimber met a rogue named Sheep. She was a white, fluffy scottish-fold with gray splotches that looked like river stones on her back. Her eyes were a clear, crystal blue. Kimber immediately fell in love with her, and he would often leave conversations or games that he and his camp-mates were having just to be with her. Quin was jealous that Sheep got to hang out with his brother and not him and Chink.

However, good came out of this. Quin and Chink grew closer together, and Chink taught Quin how to be kinder, softer and how to never be stubborn. He taught him how to be open to others’ ideas as well. They became the best of friends, developing a bond that rivaled Kimber and Quin’s, even passed it.

Sheep came to the clearing that the brothers and Chink were settled in, and announced that she would be having kits, *Kimber’s* kits. Kimber tried to act like he was overjoyed, like Quin and Chink actually were, but deep down he knew had to leave this place, his brothers and his mate. Kimber was gone the next morning, not leaving a trace.

Quin was horrified that his brother would do such a thing, to leave his mate and his brothers. He knew that he had never wanted kits, but, he had hoped that they were past that. Kimber was no longer addressed as his brother, for he had betrayed them, his family. He was indeed a coward.

Sheep was devastated that the kits would never meet their father. Quin and Chink took care of Sheep while she was in queen-hood, bringing her food, water and company through the moons that it would be until her kitting. Quin is 22 moons when the kits are born.

Once the kits were brought into this world, two she-cats and a tom, Chink died from a heart attack. He had had heart issues his whole life, and was even treated by the medicine Twoleg back in Twolegplace, but as soon as he had left his kittypet life behind, those problems returned. He was only 21 moons old.

Quin was filled with grief and was mad at the world for taking both of his brothers, one by death and one by betrayal. He accepted his friend’s death, moving on to take care of the kits he now called his own.

He played with the kits, telling them all about Chink and the world outside of the clearing, dubbed The Ring Of Golden by Olive, the middle-kit in Sheep’s litter, and the only tom. He was a dark brown scottish-fold, like his mother, with black paws and ears and clear blue eyes. Lemon was by far the perkiest, and the sweetest. Her fur was the color of Kimber’s, a light, gold-ish yellow, while she had Sheep’s long and nimble legs. Wolf, the oldest she-cat, was the color of storm clouds, with black branch-like stripes across her whole pelt. Her eyes were those of Kimber’s, a dark blue, but her white tail, face, and paws were fluffy like Sheep’s. Quin loved them with all of his heart.

One day, when the kits were 14 moons, Sheep decided that she should leave this place, search for something greater for her and her kits. Wolf did not want to follow her, choosing to travel on her own instead of going with her mother. She had to find freedom, she said. Quin understood this. Sheep took Lemon and Olive with her, while Wolf and Quin parted ways. Wolf headed south, and Quin headed west.

Once Quin got to where he was going, he settled down in a small cave near another Twolegplace, changing his name to Eagle.

One day, Eagle came across Lemon and Olive once again, and they told him that Sheep had been killed by a cat who had called himself Kimber. They told him that Kimber had gone insane, and was out on a killing spree for the cats who once had been his family. Lemon and Olive had escaped, but Sheep hadn’t been so lucky. Eagle was horrified and scared for Lemon and Olive, and decided he would not stay here. Lemon and Olive became kittypets, close to the clans. Once Eagle heard about these clans, and how Olive had described them as noble and good, he decided he would try to join one. Besides, living by himself was lonely and was taking a toll on his mental health.

Eagle sought out the nearest clan, called WindClan, and asked if he could join. Emberstar agreed, but told him he must go through a series of tests to see if he were compatible for WindClan. He went through these tests, and, in the end, passed. He joined WindClan, his name changing from Eagle to Eaglespark. He was proud of his new name just as he was proud of the cat he had become.

Turns out, Wolf, his niece, had also joined WindClan, and her name had become Wolfstep. She now had a mate, and kits. Eaglespark hadn’t had the guts to approach her yet, since he couldn’t bear the memories of his family, and now they were even closer. He had put up with Lemon and Olive, and the sight of them, but he had been the closest with Wolf so he didn’t know what to do. He still hasn’t confronted her.

He went on a hunt with Poppyblaze, the WindClan deputy, having a deep conversation about pasts and futures. He caught a field mouse, and Poppyblaze had caught a rabbit. She promised to show him the territory the next day.

The next day, Eaglespark sought out Poppyblaze, and they headed for the territory. She showed him Cloud Lake, then they ventured to the top of Thunder Falls, where they exchanged stories and memories of their past. Eaglespark enjoyed having a friend and confidante in WindClan, someone he could trust.

Someday later, Eaglespark went up onto the moors. He found Poppyblaze watching the sunrise, and decided to join her. They talked again, and they both commented on how much they enjoyed each other’s company.

Eaglespark went on patrol with Fidgetspark and Poppyblaze, encountering Hawkstorm and Lightflare, two RiverClan cats.

Eaglespark had been pacing the edge of camp when Poppyblaze came up to him and talked. They had a contest on who could say the cheesiest pick-up line. After that, they headed out onto the moor. They talked for a while, and Poppyblaze encouraged him to talk to his niece, Wolfstep. He promised her he would, out of her advice. He realized how much he liked Poppyblaze, maybe more than a simple friendship at that. The feelings shimmering in his chest and heart whenever he looked at her made him feel alive; he promised himself that he would tell her, someday.

Poppyblaze and Eaglespark headed back to camp, racing and saying that whoever was last was a rotten egg. He felt younger than he actually was; he loved that Poppyblaze made him feel like this. After they made it back to camp, Eaglespark and Poppyblaze sat down and talked over some prey. Poppyblaze suggested that they go back out onto the moor when it got dark so that they could see the fireflies. Eaglespark agreed eagerly.

To pass the time, Eaglespark brought up the question of Poppyblaze’s special abilities and if she had any, using the example of ‘being able to lick your eye-balls’. She laughed, asking how he came up with these kinds of conversation starters. He shrugged, smiling, saying that they just came to him.

Eaglespark showed Poppyblaze how he could bend his ears all the way back. When Poppyblaze asked if he had any other abilities, he told her that he could recognize any kind of prey by taste without looking at it. Poppyblaze teasingly accused him of making that up just so he could have more prey. He laughed, trying to act all innocent, but the she-cat wasn’t buying it.

After that, Eaglespark noticed how dark it was getting, so he suggested that they start to head out onto the moor for the fireflies. They did, reaching their former spot. Once it got darker, Poppyblaze spotted one, and so did Eaglespark. They jumped around, trying to catch them.

When one landed on Poppyblaze’s paw, Poppyblaze called out to him, and he turned towards her and listened. Poppyblaze confessed that before he had joined WindClan, she had been depressed over how many cats that had been so close to her had died. She told him how he had helped her out of her depression, giving her a new sense of happiness.

She ended her confession by shyly asking if Eaglespark would be her mate. Eaglespark was stunned; she returned his feelings! After several seconds of realization, he ran to her and accepted happily, nuzzling her. He confessed that she had helped him, too, by teaching him to move on from his past and to look towards his future; the future that was now brighter because of her.
