### **Appearance**

Sprucepaw is a russet, black, and white calico with orange eyes. His right ear is deaf, and has a big scar on the same deaf ear.

### **Personality**

Sprucepaw is a quiet tom, barely showing his emotions to anyone. Though, he's starting to warm up to others. Ever since he was picked as Owlgaze's apprentice, he's been the same, but MUCH more happy. Though, he's still kinda scared about how violent been, on complete accident or not. Though, he has cats who he can talk with freely.

## **History**

### **Kithood**

Spruce was born to two rogues; Branch and Oak. It was a happy, little life for him. But, when he was two moons old, both of his parents died due to unknown (and natural) causes. He was standing there in shock and sadness and then he heard something behind him. Spruce turned around and saw a fox that looked a little older than him. The fox picked him up, and brought him to a family of foxes.

The parents- Flower and Stump- were wild, yet kind and adopted him. His new siblings- Stem, Night, and Light- were the same way. When Spruce was six moons old this time, his new family suddenly died due to unknown (and natural) causes. He ran away and found Auburnstar, one of the leaders of StormClan; who allowed him into the clan as an apprentice. *Auburnstar's* apprentice.

### **Apprenticeship**

Sprucepaw was doing great. He was adopted by a new family, and he had a sibling, Snowpaw. His training with Auburnstar was slow but still going well. Of course, in a battle that he just watched StormClan split, but he was still happy in SkyClan's original territory. He was even asked to train in the Dark Forest with some other members! Everything was going perfectly fine. But then, he easedropped on Infernostrike and Spiritbrook, two great SkyClan warriors, and Spiritbrook was also Snowpaw's mentor. She was talking not too fondly of her apprentice. So he appeared, then left. Sprucepaw talked with Snowpaw, then made the decision to lie to Quietskies about Snowpaw saying some nasty stuff about Auburnstar behind the leader's back. To protect her. He grew to hate what he did. Another battle happened, and he did nothing to help again.

He started to have an imaginary fox in his head, tormenting him and insulting him. It was small for a little bit, but then it grew. Calling him a monster. Sprucepaw's friends from the Dark Forest told him the truth about Auburnstar. That he was tricked. Now the fox had another way to drive him crazy. During a ShadowClan SkyClan battle that he decided to actually fight in, he accidentally took it too far and murdered a young apprentice from ShadowClan. He was heartbroken. He approached the medicine cat of SkyClan, Owlgaze about this. As well with a friend from ShadowClan, Featherpaw. He also saw Spiritbrook's dead body and Infernostrike lash back. Quietskies ran off, warriors following to hunt her down and kill her. Another battle happened, and he killed a young apprentice from ShadowClan on accident again! He felt *horrible.* He also met his sister, who was in the Tribe now, and they recovered from what happened between them. Infernostrike ran away, and *another* battle with ShadowClan ensued and apparantally Lakestar was able to use water against his leader? It was a sight to behold!

Fast forward to him talking with Owlgaze again. They've grown to be good friends. Owlgaze asked Sprucepaw to be his apprentice, and he accepted the role. He was finally working his way out of Auburnstar's claws, even if it was only halfway.

### **Medicine Cat Apprenticeship**

Sprucepaw met Roundberry, and that didn't go that well. Roundberry was very rude! Anyways... Sprucepaw kept in contact with Featherpaw, and he was recruited by Sparrowcall into a movement to defeat Auburnstar and put Quietskies (who was supposed to be dead by Auburnstar's orders and followers) as the new leader of SkyClan as he was healing her due to a badger in the territory. He said yes, of course, and asked Owlgaze if he would like to join. His mentor accepted the invitation, but had to be cautious, so Auburnstar doesn't get suspicious him.

Sprucepaw told Owlgaze about him living with foxes, and his mentor didn't mind! He was in the rebel group and saved Featherpaw from probably dying, and he also helped Hyena back to the Tribe's camp.

In the Fox Event, Sprucepaw also had to save his mentor and Owlgaze's lover(?) from a fox. He tried to speak to the fox, but due to his broken language (and plot), he was unsuccessful. Spectre had to save him with a smoke shield, as well as the rest of the medicine den, and he didn't bother asking about it. That kind of strange stuff was pretty much just ordinary to him at this point. Auburnstrike was defeated, though Raccoonleap died by him. Quietskies finished the former leader off and killed him, then took leadership.

Sprucepaw slightly helped with the new code the new leader was creating. He also was there when Sparkleap was made deputy, and when Quietstar lost her first life due to kitting. I mean, she had 8 kits (along with hallucinations). What can you expect? He, along with Sparkleap and Owlgaze, promised to not tell a single soul that she lost a life.
