## Birth and Death

### Cause of Death

N/A

**Larkspring** is a current warrior of Riverclan.

## Physical Description

He is a tall, lean Burmese-cross tom with short blue-gray fur. He has an area of white on his jaw, neck and over his underbelly. His long, slender tail has small rings of darker grey fur on it. He also has dashes of white around his pale green eyes.

## Personality

Larkspring is a goofy character. He's shy around people he envies a lot and is clumsy with words sometimes. He's also not very clever and many would consider him dense and a bit clueless. However, when it comes to his duty as a warrior, Lark is a hard-worker and loves to pitch in. This makes him much more friendly than most cats. He can also be a bit charming at times if he feels confident enough.

## Skills and Weaknesses

* **Speed (+):** His lithe and lean build makes Larkspring a very quick cat and earns him a solid spot among the fastest in his clan. However, his speed is more useful in the water rather than land where he feels that a Windclan cat would dominate.
* **Strength (-):** Despite his tall size, Larkspring is not a strong cat. This makes him easy to pin down or get attacked by vicious Riverclan kits. His lack of strength makes it easy to overwhelm him in battle.
* **Stealth (=):** When hunting, Larkspring can be pin drop silent and easily sneak up on his prey. However, if you told him to "surprise the enemy", he might run out with a party popper and throw them a celebration as loud as he can. He also is distracted by many things due to his clumsiness.
* **Hunting Skill (+):** Larkspring is a decent hunter, often bringing back well-sized fish and contributing to the prey pile very much. He is also much more skilled in hunting water voles than his clanmates. Despite his protesting that he isn't, everyone knows Larkspring is one of the best at hunting in the clan.
* **Fighting Skill (-):** His lack of strength and confidence in his fighting ability makes Larkspring a weak warrior on the battlefield. He gets overwhelmed quite easily and resorts to the help of his clanmates or fleeing after a few hits.
* **Loyalty (+):** Always doing his warrior duties, Larkspring is very loyal to his clan despite his kittypet blood. He never wishes to break the rules or hurt anyone in his clan.
* **Self Control (-):** Larkspring is known to say things unexpectedly or stumble over his words, making it hard to understand him. He also panics a lot at the sight of blood.
* **Intelligence/Cleverness (=):** Known to be a clueless and dense cat, many fellow clanmates tease Larkspring for his inability to know what's going on around him. He relies on information he hears around the clan, which isn't much. However he can be very clever when it comes to gathering solutions to a problem or finding a way out of conflict.
* **Charm (=):** Despite his awkward personality, Larkspring is a very friendly cat, or maybe a bit too friendly. He often trusts almost everyone he meets and is never suspicious of them, making it easy to deceive him. Charm-wise, some choose to avoid Larkspring and his eccentricity while others find him quite likeable and fun to be around.

## Life

### Kithood

Larkkit's birth was quite unexpected, since his mother revealed that she was carrying two kits and that their father was a kittypet. His brother Duckkit [NPC] was stillborn. Not much else is known about his kithood other than the fact that he was called "sponge-kit" because of his dense personality.

### Apprenticeship

Not much is known about Larkpaw's apprenticeship, mentor, or anything else. It is known that he finished his training around 13-15 moons due to a conversation with Hickorykit. His mother also died around this time from greencough.

### Adult Life

Larkspring lives the life of an ordinary warrior in Riverclan. He makes friends with fellow warriors such as Wrenpatch after helping her clean up some trash around her nest. He also forms a close bond with Hollywind over the fact that she was once a loner and his father was a kittypet. After Ospreyfeather returns from a hunting trip with a minor injury from a weasel, Larkspring panickedly asks him if he needs a medicine cat to which the older warrior responds no. Larkspring is touched by the fact that Ospreyfeather didn't snap at him and instead calmly answered his questions, and considers the tom his role model. They speak about Ospreyfeather's kits and the responsibility of children, especially his close relationship with them despite not being their real father. After Ospreyfeather leaves to wash up his leg, Larkspring thinks about whether or not he should get a mate soon.

A moon later, Larkspring's relationship with Hollywind starts growing. They watch a sunset together but Larkspring notices she is visibly upset. Hollywind tells him that she feels ignored by her friend, Patchbriar, who has a new mate, Ripplewatcher, and spends all her time with him. Larkspring responds that in the meantime she can spend time with him, since he is her new friend. They race to the river together where they hunt, flirt and play with each other, but Hollywind becomes upset when she looks at her reflection in the river, to which Larkspring consoles her and takes her back to camp.

A few days later Larkspring hears a hunting chirp in camp. When he goes to investigate, he finds out that Hickorykit was making the noise at a patch of ferns. He asks her about it and she responds rudely that she was practicing since she would be an apprentice in a few moons, and that he scared a finch away. When Hickorykit investigates the ferns, she finds four little eggs belonging to a Reed Bunting. Larkspring asks her to leave them alone and bluntly asks whose kit she is. Hickorykit responds her parents are Havenbriar and Finchclaw, and pushes the blame onto Larkspring for scaring away the finch (which he didn't do). Larkspring is shocked by her attitude and confusedly asks again if her name is Nettlekit, who is her other sibling, to which she responds that he is her "dumb little brother". Knowing that Hickorykit had a large ego, Larkspring reluctantly admits that he was the one who scared away the finch. Hickorykit says she already knew since she is the best kit to which Larkspring agrees. Larkspring tells her to leave the nest alone and that he will tell everyone to be careful around it. Hickorykit responds that nobody will listen to him anyways and that she will be their new mother. She starts naming the eggs, "Patchy" after Patchbriar, "Newt" after Newtchaser, "Haven" after Havenbriar, and "Hickory" after Hickorykit herself. Larkspring gets annoyed that she didn't name one after him, and Hickorykit names a twig in the nest "Lark" to make spite of his annoyance. Hickorykit insists that she is their new mother since their old mother ran away, and Larkspring says that he and "Lark" aren't going to help her because of her attitude. Angry that someone talked back to her, Hickorykit pouts and walks away, and Larkspring puts down "Lark" and leaves as well, hoping he doesn't get her as his apprentice.

The next day, Larkspring takes "Lark" back to the nursery to find Hickorykit and tease her more, when he sees Patchbriar outside. He asks if the she-kit is around to which Patchbriar says she doesn't know, and notes that most of the kits are napping inside. They introduce themselves to each other and start talking a bit about Hickorykit, Larkspring noting that she seems a bit egotistic and Patchbriar responds that shes just in a little diva phase. Larkspring wonders if he's ready for kits like Hickorykit in his life and Patchbriar excitedly asks him if he is interested in anyone. Larkspring blurts out Hollywind but then quickly covers it up, saying that they are just friends for now, and he remembers how the she-cat felt ignored by Patchbriar and fell silent. Patchbriar gets even more excited and then offers to show him a special place he can take her to which Larkspring agrees. Patchbriar takes him to Silver Falls, and Larkspring gets very nervous because of how tall it is from the ground, but Patchbriar reassures him that as long as you are far from the edge, you won't fall off (epic foreshadowing). She gives him some advice on what to do when proposing and they leave back to camp.

Larkspring is resting at camp when he hears the news of Charfrost's death around camp. He is shocked to hear that she died at the Silver Falls and he realizes that it wouldn't be safe for him and Hollywind to be near there. He then speaks to Hollywind about Charfrost's death and tries to cheer her up. She gives him an affectionate boop and he hightails it out of there because he felt really awkward about it, and realizes he does in fact have a crush on Hollywind and 4ice finally completed 5 threads with Holly yayy-

Around evening, Larkspring is stretching outside of the warrior den when Ripplewatcher pulls up with some prey. They greet each other and Ripplewatcher sits next to him. They mainly talk about Patchbriar for a bit. Larkspring brings up Charfrost's death to him and he is shocked- the tom had no idea she was dead since he had been away (on a hiatus). He tells Larkspring they aren't friends anymore and asks what happens, and Larkspring fills him in and offers his condolences. Ripplewatcher angrily condescends Charfrost for leaving Patchbriar and betraying him. Not wanting to get into their drama, Larkspring lets him know that he shouldn't show his real feelings about Charfrost to Patchbriar when comforting her, and notes that Charfrost did save a life that day. Ripplewatcher nods sadly, and they both leave.

A day later, Larkspring is at Willow Bay near the Twoleg Territory secretly looking for his father. He meets Mouse, a young kittypet, and asks him if he's seen a cat around that looks like him. Mouse says that he has not and Larkspring feels a bit sad, but then tries not to show it. The two talk about Riverclan and the other clans, and Larkspring teaches the young kittypet how to hunt properly.

That night, Larkspring decides to stop hiding from his feelings and confesses his love to Hollywind underneath the moon outside camp, and she accepts happily (yayy).

The next day, Larkspring is assigned Nettlepaw as an apprentice. He is a bit surprised but quickly runs over to touch noses with the young tom. They both tell each other how excited they are and Larkspring promises to be a good mentor to him. He helps the new apprentice move his things and makes him a new nest.

Later, Larkspring takes Nettlepaw on a patrol around the territory, and shows him Two-legs, dogs, and the borders for the first time. And Nettlepaw learned how to swim. And they went home because it started to rain.

Larkspring is resting the next few days when he hears sudden noises from inside the warrior's den. He peeks in and it's Waspsnow, banging herself against a wall. He tries to get her to stop but she starts going mad, saying the prey is talking. Confused, Larkspring leaves.

He looks around for Nettlepaw so they can train in the apprentice den, but instead meets Hickorypaw instead (uh oh). They are not on good terms and Larkspring feebily attempts to make conversation with the riled up apprentice. He learns that the Reed Bunting eggs they found before had hatched and left the nest already and this shocks him a bit. He notices that Hickorypaw looks a bit upset and he remembers that Waspsnow had been acting weird lately and asked her about that. She mentioned that Waspsnow attacked her, gagged her and threathened to throw her in Duck Pond until Hornetpaw came and saved her. Larkspring is furious that Waspsnow would do something like that, and he asks her if anyone else was hurt, mainly worrying about Nettlepaw. Hickorypaw says she doesn't know and Larkspring leaves to find his apprentice.

A few days later during night, Larkspring sees Waspsnow running out of camp and darts into the clearing, worried something had happened. His fears are confirmed- Newtchaser is bleeding out on the ground with Russetwhisker and Hornetpaw by his side. Hornetpaw is furious when she hears about Waspsnow escaping, and Russetwhisker says that he will go after her since he is her sister. Larkspring offers to come with him, not wanting the young warrior to risk his life. Oakstorm appears and asks what has happened, worried about his friend Newtchaser, and he helps bandage up his wounds. Larkspring tells Hornetpaw that while she may love Waspsnow, there was no excuse for what she had done.

Larkspring, Russetwhisker, and Oakstorm run into the territory and confront Waspsnow. Oakstorm attacks her, angry that she hurted the cat he loved but Larkspring drags him off. Oakstorm says he knows why Waspsnow attacked Newtchaser. Apparently, Newtchaser was trying to find Badgerstar to tell him about how the she-cat had attacked multiple cats like Hickorypaw, Falconblaze, etc. and blinded her mother, Chestnutheart. He had planned to get her exiled, but Waspsnow attacked him before he could speak to the leader. Larkspring tells Russetwhisker they should bring her back to camp so they can exile her properly, but he refuses. He tells Oakstorm to stop attacking his sister, and Oakstorm accuses him of loving a murderer- then Russetwhisker shocks the audience by telling Oakstorm he loves him. Russetwhisker tells Waspsnow to run away and not return to camp and she flees. Larkspring leaves Oakstorm and Russetwhisker alone since they uh- are discussing their feelings.

*(Insert event: since technically Waspsnow wasn't exiled she returned to camp- this was not expected :flushed:)*

Larkspring is on a small stroll by the river and hears a twig snap, and he goes to check it out. When he gets closer to the trees, he hears a small whimper and realises a young cat is nearby. Larkspring looks up and sees Waspsnow in the trees- her half blinded gaze did not hide her well. When he digs through a lump of snow, he finds the scent belongs to Nettlepaw, who was kidnapped and gagged by Waspsnow. Larkspring quickly digs the tom out and comforts him. Nettlepaw is traumatized and shivering, but he manages to tell his mentor that he had been fishing and was attacked by the she-cat. Larkspring lifts him up and carries him by the scruff, hoping to get him back to camp so he doesn't catch a cold. He angrily curses Waspsnow and takes the apprentice back to camp quickly.

At camp, Larkspring sits outside angrily by the entrance, his thoughts on how Waspsnow had attacked Nettlepaw without any remorse. He hears a noise behind him and sees Chestnutheart, struggling to avoid objects because of her newfound blindness. He helps the she-cat and asks her how she got her blindness, wondering if it was true that Waspsnow attacked her own mother. Chestnutheart tries to keep it brief, mentioning how it was a "long story", and Larkspring notices the claw marks don't look like a badger or fox's. He asks her what she thinks of Waspsnow's actions and Chestnutheart says she isn't sure. Larkspring tells her how Nettlepaw was kidnapped and Chesnutheart is shocked since Nettlepaw is her brother. Larkspring realizes Waspsnow is still in the clan and leaves to go do something else.

*(Insert event: Waspsnow is exiled)*

After Waspsnow's exile, Larkspring feels a bit more safe around camp, so he takes the day off to give a large white feather to one of the kits in the nursery and play with them. He sees Flurrykit and gives her the feather. Flurrykit has only gained her vision and everything to her looks blurry, but she starts to play with the feather happily. Larkspring grows tired from being in the nursery, and mentions that he could fall asleep there. Flurrykit repeats the word "asleep" as "aweep", and they both fall asleep together.

He hears a wheezing sound from the corner of the camp at night, and when he goes to check it out he finds Ospreyfeather suffering from an asthma attack which he originally believed to be allergies. Larkspring is shocked that the warrior he looked up to was no longer strong and healthy, but after helping him, both have a small conversation about life and age. He also speaks to Maplebranch, a warrior who brought some moss for Ospreyfeather during their conversation.

Larkspring meets Waspsnow on the border and angrily confronts her about Nettlepaw. He states he is very disappointed in her and yells at her about how she victimizes herself over all the thing she had done to the clan. Waspsnow says she already knows that but continues to do so to spite Larkspring. He leaves, not wanting to speak to an exile.

Larkspring teaches Nettlepaw the warrior code later that day, and both of them have a little bonding moment.

Larkspring sees Hollywind and excitedly runs over to her, but Hollywind appears to be going through a tough time and starving herself. Worried, Larkspring wonders if it's about Waspsnow, but learns its because Hollywind wants to leave the clan to go back to where she grew up as a loner, and make peace with their actions towards her. Larkspring accepts this and tells her he will come with her.

He visits Ospreyfeather in the medicine den and brings him a weasel, a tribute to how they first met. Ospreyfeather is pleased to see him and they exchange a few words about apprentices and their lives at the moment.

*(Insert event: 4ice goes on a hiatus for a week)*

After being busy for a moon, Larkspring meets Silksong at the prey pile. She tells him the news around clan- she had become a mentor to Mistypaw, and Beekit went missing. Larkspring is shocked that a kit had gone missing and he grows quite sad at the news. Silksong also says she doesn't love Waspsnow anymore, which makes Larkspring a bit angry that so many cats fall in love with a murderer, and he leaves.

Larkspring is seen at the nursery trying to look for any holes Beekit could've gone out of, and he seems very stressed and worried. Hornetflame asks him what he is up to and he breaks the news to which Hornetflame denies, saying Beekit must've slept near Duck Pond. Larkspring tries to comfort her and Hornetflame accuses Waspsnow of taking Beekit away. While the accusation seems baseless, Larkspring believes her and they both go to look for her in the territory. However, they cannot find her scent and when they return they find that Blazingwing had accepted her back in the clan on conditions that she eats last and someone must always be watching her. Larkspring is respectful of the deputy's decision but livid that most of the cats in the clan are pleased Waspsnow is back.

He has a bad dream; he is underwater trying to catch a fish but fails to do so, and sinks to the bottom. Larkspring jolts awake and finds Ospreyfeather watching over him. Ospreyfeather asks if he's thinking about Waspsnow and he says yes, letting out his true feelings about how he refuses to accept the exile back into the clan because of what she has done. Ospreyfeather acknowledges this but tells Larkspring that there is no use dwelling on the past and telling him to understand Waspsnow is trying to change. Not wanting to feel angry anymore, Larkspring agrees but not before he asks Ospreyfeather about his dream. Ospreyfeather says he's never had a dream with significance in his life, and Larkspring wonders if his recurring nightmare is going to affect him. They discuss more about their lives and Ospreyfeather's health.

At the prey pile, Larkspring strikes up an awkward conversation with Waspsnow. He tries his very best to not yell at her and tells her that he will be there for her if she accepts to change.

*(insert event: Driftwind, Hornetflame, and Cascadebreeze die in the same moon, causing distress in the clan)*

Angry and distressed that so many cats are dying, Larkspring paces around camp. He finds Waspsnow crying over Cascadebreeze's death and feels a pang of sympathy for her, since she also lost Hornetflame. They both talk about the events in the clan and Larkspring implores her to get rest, saying that she has changed for the better.

He tries to cheer himself up by going to the nursery and finds Duckkit inside playing with a feather. When the two introduce themselves, Larkspring remembers how his brother shared the same name and tells the kit a few stories about Starclan and the creation of the clans, making him very excited.

Larkspring finds Nettlepaw inside the apprentice den crying and comforts him, telling him it's okay to let your feelings out and feeling guilty he wasn't there for the apprentice when Foampaw went missing.

He wanders back to Willow Bay, wondering if he'll see Mouse again. After the two meet again, they discuss the events in their lives- it had been 10 moons since they met. Mouse says that he fought off a fox and Larkspring is surprised to hear so. The kittypet teaches Larkspring how to climb trees and both bid farewell.

The day has come for Nettlepaw to receive his warrior name! Larkspring is excited and both of them meet to discuss the matter. The topic eventually switches to Foampaw to which Larkspring tells Nettlepaw not to worry about her too much. He says he doesn't want to forget her and Larkspring agrees, but advises the apprentice to worry about his mental health as well.

Larkspring finds Ospreyfeather who was given Flurrypaw as an apprentice. Both discuss Ospreyfeather's health and their own apprentices.

Larkspring meets Martenkit, Puddlecloud's new adopted kit. He is confused why the kit is there, but after Martenkit tells him about his adoption, Larkspring explains to him about Starclan and how a clan works so he wouldn't be confused.

Life goes on. Larkspring is injured during a hunting trip but is patched up by Martenpaw, who is now a medicine cat apprentice. Larkspring finds it interesting that a new one was chosen and congratulates him.

After Leafdawn and Patchbriar's deaths, Larkspring finds his former apprentice Nettlehaze in the warriors den in a lot of distress and survivors guilt, as he was there when the latter were killed. He does his best to console his apprentice, as he and Leafdawn had gotten into a fight before his untimely death. Larkspring tells his apprentice that Leafdawn loved him a lot, and he shouldn't blame himself for their deaths.

Larkspring helps calm down Waspsnow after a nightmare about her daughter, Daisypaw, dying.

Larkspring finds out he's having kits with Hollywind! He's excited as they will be born in two moons. However, he also is fearful as to what could happen, as Clovershine died during her kitting leaving her litter without a mother to care for them. Wrenpatch comes into the nursery while Larkspring is decorating a nest for his mate, and they discuss his future kits as well as hers. They both make a promise that should anything happen to either of them, they will take care of each other's families. They decide on future names for his and her's kits, such as Troutkit and Breamkit (which Wrenpatch suggests). Larkspring suggests she name one of her kits Dragonflykit.

Larkspring meets Mousekit, one of Clovershine's kits. He comforts the little tom-kit and notices that Mousekit has started to hear and react to things.

Larkspring is assigned a second apprentice by Badgerstar! It's Flarepaw, one of Strikestone's adopted kits.

A large storm hits camp, and many of the dens have partly flooded. Larkspring starts patching up the nursery with moss when he meets Mousekit's sibling, Charkit.

Larkspring meets up with Flarepaw and he takes her to see the territory.

Larkspring's kits are born, however Hollywind dies during kitting. Larkspring is devastated and reluctantly names the kits without her, the oldest as Troutkit, then Breamkit and finally Nilekit. He comforts Troutkit during a storm but still feels distant from his kits.

He bumps into Waspsnow who's sister Gingerwish just kitted her litter with Falconblaze. Larkspring tries to tell her about his suffering but she only counters it with her own pain that she can't have kits with Antwhisker. Infuriated at her lack of empathy, Larkspring calls her a sociopath and bluntly attacks her out of rage, later leaving in anger and regret.

After a few days, Larkspring wakes up one morning and speaks to Ripplewatcher. They have an open heart-to-heart conversation about their mates deaths and Ripplewatcher advises Larkspring to visit his kits and try to live with his grief.

Larkspring gathers himself together to visit his kits and talks to Troutkit, who just opened his eyes. They both talk about a game Gingerwish showed him and play it together.

Later that evening, Larkspring finds his daughter Breamkit in the nursery and speaks to her. He brings her a feather and suspects she doesn't know who he is. Breamkit plays with the feather, however she has little to no reaction when Larkspring tells her who he is.

Larkspring meets Otterkit and plays a bit of mossball with him. While Otterkit is arguably not the best with mossball, Larkspring hides his amusement and inspires the kit to become the best warrior he could be.

Larkspring meets Nilekit, his youngest son, and both bond a little bit. He finds the young kit is scared of meat but has a fascination for..bugs?

He later speaks to Wrenpatch about Hollywind and his kits. She offers her condolences and he restates that he trusts her to help take care of his family should anything happen to him.

Larkspring teaches Flarepaw how to fish in the river.
