## **History**

### **Paws of Stars**

#### **Rising Sun**

Pinepaw joins the grotto camp in the pine forest. Pinepaw simply stoically watches as Sunstar only changes a word in her name, yet it is what she had wanted her entire life, and she still feels a sense of pride as she takes the name Pinepath in honor of her resourcefulness and skill. A patrol of Brambleheart, Elmflight, Pinepath, Mudspots, and Wolfpaw is surprised to find "rogues" at Riverclaws and are beaten back with no major injuries, not understanding why they saw Salmonheart there or why they some two former apprentices there.

While hunting, Pinepath rushes forward when she smells a new scent, only to might a prideful-looking intruder who quickly explains some cats had been talking about groups of cats living weirdly and had been interested in joining. Playfully, Pinepath takes him back to SunClan camp, and while Fallenstreak reprimands her for putting the kit's lives in danger agrees a new warrior would help.

Shortly after the apprentice ceremonies, SunClan split into patrols and shared tongues. Lightningpaw and Foxpaw argue about where to go on their first apprenticeship day as their mentors look on until a battle cry is heard. Pinepath finds Stormdusk challenging, and one lucky move sees him attacking her leg. She tries to stop, but he claws one of her eyes, and she yowls in pain and tries to kick him off. Fallenstreak organizes the Clan, telling those injured to see Goldenleaf, but Pinepath refuses, saying she must train her apprentice on her first day and doesn't care if her wounds scar, thinking they will look cool.

As for Pinepath, despite the blizzard, she teaches and watches gleefully as her apprentice Foxpaw comes back to her with a nuthatch, her first caught piece of prey. Once the leaders finish speaking, the Cats of the Clans move around to speak with each other, eager to talk to new cats, reunite with family, and catch up with friends. Quickly, the children of Mossfang and Marigoldspirit reunite with Timberfang and Pinepath showing off their scars to each other as they tease their brother for not having any, after he walks off to talk to other cats Timberfang privately tells Pinepath of a tom she likes, she feels is ignoring her with Pinepath saying not to give him any time of day.

## **Personality and Relationships**

### **Personality**

Pinepath is a very eccentric cat. Pinepath is very energetic, barely sleeping, and always ready to train or do anything fun, and being bored to her feels like breaking the warrior code itself. Though unchecked, this energy can cause damage that her mentor Snowspeck couldn't fully channel into good. She still believes that she can control her destructiveness. Since she and her siblings are very competitive, she loves winning and is bouncy and sassy when she wins a challenge.

### **Mudspots**

Mudspots is Pinepath's brother; Mudpaw always felt like the least important of his family as Pinepaw was the most skilled and Timberpaw the most unique. Pinepaw cares for her brother a lot, refuses to let him keep his spirits down, and is always willing to talk to him when he feels like he is failing or not doing well enough to prove his mentor's strength Pinepaw is always there to make her brother smile.

### **Timberfang**

Timberfang is Pinepath's sister; being the most grounded of her siblings, Pinepath acted as the glue of the three, while Timberfang could be very aggressive, Pinepath always defended her sister and stood beside her especially helping Timberfang with the pressure of expectations Swampclaw had for Timberfang. Both cats like making playful remarks to each other, and Timberfang thanks Pinepath for being by her side, even now when they're in different Clans.

### **Larchweb**

Larchweb is Pinepath's stress reliever; Pinepath hilariously meets Larchweb by knocking him over when he finds their territory and, seeing him as amusing, takes the risk of inviting him to the Clan. Larchweb is very prideful and makes her giggle when he talks about himself; she feels like it's a friendship where she doesn't have to be a shoulder to cry on like with her siblings and sees Larchweb as a closer companion. Pinepath and Larch both have no romantic feelings for any cats, and both get annoyed when cats mistake their closeness for being mates.

### **Snowspeck**

Pinepath is Snowspeck's former apprentice. Like her brother Mudspots, Pinepath Pinekit wanted Maplepelt to be her mentor, and she became very sour when she got Snowspeck. Yet as Pinepaw got to know Snowspeck, she idolized her even more than she had ever idolized Maplepelt, copying her mentor's personality to the point every cat in ShadowClan could say Pinepaw was basically her daughter with the two waking every morning to explore before training and even sometimes sneaking to other Clan borders or places beyond Clan boundaries. This, however, made Pinepath more reckless and stubborn, but together, the two are a strong force not to be stopped or messed with.

### **Foxpaw**

Pinepath is Foxpaw's mentor; some cats clearly didn't tell Sunstar what would happen given a headstrong young warrior, an action-seeking apprentice, but the results came quickly. Together like Mudspots and Lightningpaw, Pinepath and Foxpaw were a formidable bunch, and both loved danger, with Pinepath and Foxpaw always finding some way to get into danger even in the calmest situations. Pinepath and Foxpaw loved having competitions with Mudspots and Lightningpaw with varying results, and Foxpaw did get somewhat to know Snowspeck Pinepath's mentor, who had recently joined the Clan just before Foxpaw became an apprentice, but Foxpaw liked her mentor more. Pinepath may not have influenced Foxpaw best, but she certainly gave her an action-packed apprenticeship, which Foxpaw loved greatly.
