Pricklesnap (Character)

# Pricklesnap

Pricklesnap is a senior LarkClan warrior.

## Appearance

Pricklesnap is tall, thin and wiry, with a brown tabby pelt and hollow, pale green eyes. She is 71 moons old, as of her death.

## Personality

Pricklesnap is somewhat detached from other cats, sometimes living as though in a dream with dull, muted emotions. Her memory is very hazy, and she barely remembers any of her past. She has trouble adapting to change. Though she often messes up, she makes an effort to try and make amends and cares deeply for her loved ones, often to the point of codependency.

## Biography

### Early Life

Pricklesnap's early life was uneventful. She spent most of her apprenticeship helping with chores around camp, and had a few friends, though she wasn't really involved in their lives. She gradually grew apart from them as they grew older.

### Warrior Life

Sometime in Pricklesnap's young-warrior days, she tried (unsuccessfully) to intervene in a fight between Stormblaze and Newtstar (Newtspark at the time), two cats which would heavily influence her life in future. She grew to know Stormblaze better, and they formed a friendship.

Shortly after, she joined Newtspark on a hunting patrol in the forest. Things were already somewhat tense between them after an awkward midnight talk, and when Pricklesnap accidentally pounced on Newtspark's tail, causing the orange tabby to rebuke her angrily, Pricklesnap lashed out. This was what triggered the emnity between them.

Some time after Newtstar's leadership ceremony, Pricklesnap was part of the fox-fighting patrol and helped to drive out the foxes in LarkClan's territory.

Pricklesnap mentored Starlingperch.

Eventually, Pricklesnap and Stormblaze became mates after a date in the clearing <3

Pricklesnap, Stormblaze, and Freezefang encountered a BeachClan patrol: Featherstar and Skipfall.

Pricklesnap witnessed Newtstar lose her first life some time later. The LarkClan leader had been climbing the Twolegplace when Pricklesnap spoke, distracting her and causing her to lose her footing.

When Stormblaze joined StarClan after a particularly harsh leaf-bare storm, Pricklesnap's life fell into disarray. She completely shut down, refusing to speak to anyone, eat, or even move.

Eventually, Pricklesnap died of her wounds after being hit by a monster, at fault of Tigerfang.

(sorry if the order of events is a bit messy, i tried my best-)

### After Death

Pricklesnap joined the Dark Forest after death, where she mainly loitered around and reflected on her life.

She talked with Shatteredsky about their lives and getting revenge on the cats that they had beef with, but an argument ensued when they had differing ideas about the scope of their revenge.

## Relationships

#### Stormblaze

Pricklesnap and Stormblaze have a strong bond and care deeply for each other, though their relationship isn't perfect; they sometimes have small but unpleasant arguements due to both of them being somewhat inept at expressing their emotions.

#### Newtstar

Pricklesnap and Newtstar have been enemies since before Newtstar's leadership, mainly due to a badly-judged mistake of Pricklesnap's. Though both cats are hostile towards each other, Pricklesnap obeys her grudgingly, as she doesn't have much of a choice - also, Newtstar often comes out on top in their fights.

#### Sparkwing

Pricklesnap has been friends with Sparkwing since he was a kit, though they haven't spoken much since then.

#### Freezefang

Pricklesnap and Freezefang are best buddies! They discovered BeachClan together, alongside Stormblaze.

###### Starlingperch

Pricklesnap mentored Starlingperch. Then Starlingperch nearly died from overworking herself, so Pricklesnap dragged her back to camp, probably giving her some scratches in the process.
