~~Personality Traits~~

Calm // Sprucepaw can be found to be quite a calm cat. After the happenings with his father's death, it seems as though all his energy to play has dissipated unless approached by a few choice cats who also reside in Shadowclan. Sprucepaw prefers to train with Twistedclaw or hunting so that when he returns to the camp he can just rest and watch the Warriors as they work in the camp.

Curious // Sprucepaw is the type to ask a million questions on a single subject. He is very curious about how things work, what something may or may not do, etc. He is a knowledge seeker, even if he may not have the best of any cat's memory he still loves to listen and try to understand physics and the like. And if there is a dispute, he prefers to be the third party and listen to both sides of an argument to try and solve the problem, constantly asking what is wrong and how it could be fixed to create a fair negotiation between the two or so cats.

Friendly // He isn't one to ignore you if you'd like to say "Hello", and he'll try his best to hide anything negative he may have been thinking before you arrived. He truly loves to chat with others, he likes it despite his developing antisocial behavior. It tends to take his mind off of anything negative, unless of course the conversation is about a death in the clan and such. But, due to his curious nature, Sprucepaw may actually try to create a friendship with most anyone whether they reside in Shadowclan or not. He likes to keep himself surrounded with friends and doesn't realize that if he creates bonds with those from other clans that he may have to fight them one day.

Irresponsible // Sprucepaw can be a bit irresponsible at times. He tends to look at the rules more as guidelines than actual "laws" of the clans. He, like his sister Coldpaw, needs to be watched closely or Sprucepaw may sneak out of the camp to try and practice climbing trees by himself or practice hunting alone. Sprucepaw isn't very responsible when it comes to watching over kits if he is asked to. He'd very well let the kits mess around in the Nursery or the camp and would refrain from trying to punish or correct any negative behavior they may express while playing.

Oblivious // Sprucepaw can be quite oblivious. At times, something may remind him of his father's death, or Hawkfeather's, or all the arguments he may have had with Leopardfrost and Coldpaw. This, however, will cause him to freeze as he remembers the events and be completely mentally disconnected from the real world. Meaning if he were in a battle, he'd be an easy target for a cat to attack. But Sprucepaw can also be oblivious to another's feelings when he is talking. When trying to hide his own emotions, he can sometimes forget others may not be able to cope with a situation as well as he can and may accidentally step over a line or two when talking with another cat and not realize why a cat may be angry with him or why his companion may be crying.

Fearless // His calmness and obliviousness combine and cause for his fearlessness. Now, he can definitely feel emotional fear, but he mainly only feels it towards his sister- His fear of having her leave as well, or him leaving her. But, if he were to battle, Sprucepaw would be oblivious to the dangers of using an attack on an enemy larger than him, or more tactical than he may be. In general, he is pretty oblivious to any danger in itself (the exception being when he and Goldenkit were chased by a dog) and may just calmly traverse around in an area another cat may completely avoid. Ex: He will gladly walk onto the Thunderpath as he realized the monsters won't chase after you if you are one the white and yellow lines.

~~History~~

Kithood:

    Sprucekit was born alongside his sister, Coldkit, but in the process their mother had died from blood loss. But, Leopardfrost's love for the she-cat blinded him when he noticed Coldkit looked almost identical to their mother, from then on he blamed Coldkit for her death and praised Sprucekit for "having nothing to do with her being gone". This, combined with his longing to see their mother and feel her warm fur and hear her loving voice depressed him, causing him to starve himself thinking their mother had run off and leaving them unwanted. 

    For a few moons, Sprucekit would witness Leopardfrost attacking and punishing Coldkit for no good reason, sometimes no reason at all. It made Sprucekit's stomach turn to watch her get beaten by her own father, and for a crime neither of them understood nor committed. But he wanted to object, he wanted to fight back so badly, and yet, he had such a frail body that was thin and weak. While in a state of slight depression, Sprucekit would barely drink Hawkfeather's milk or even take a bite out of fresh kill. Taking meat as a last resort, when weened he grew even thinner. He wasn't motivated to do much, unless one of the other kits in the clan coaxed him to play. But, the day his father died, Sprucekit changed... The loving and energetic little kit turned into a silent, depressed, but calm and collect cat. Smearing the blood of his father's demolished corpse onto his paws and growling at his rotten soul in the sky while trying to comfort his sister. From then on Sprucekit began to become antisocial and closed off, and soon would rarely ever crack the slightest smile, or the slightest hint of joy would ever be found in his voice. 

    Soon enough, however, Hawkfeather and Coldkit were able to convince Sprucekit to start eating more as, at the time, he was almost starving himself to death on why his and Coldkit's mother would leave them. Hawkfeather, his adoptive mother, would often tell him tales of outside the camp. Teaching him things such as birds and how feathers help them to fly as well as the Warrior Code and all that it means to be a Warrior. And when he was down and sad, she'd cheer him up with her kind words and cheery disposition. However, sadly, Hawkfeather had passed only a moon before he, Coldkit and her own kits were to become Apprentices- Drowning near the end of the flood. 

Apprentice:

    Sprucepaw was both nervous and had piqued curiosity when it came time for his Apprentice ceremony with Coldpaw. Who would be his Mentor? Who would be Coldpaw's? Would he still be able to play with the other Apprentices despite all the training he'd have to go through? His mind was flooded with questions for the event. And, as the meeting was called, Sprucekit gladly padded out to the center of the clearing of cats with Coldkit by his side. And as Berryfeather, who took place of the missing Pinestar, was about to announce their mentors- Sprucekit's heart fluttered a bit as he thought of which cat may be the one to train him into a Warrior. And that Warrior's name would turn out to be Twistedclaw. The flutters suddenly vanished from within Sprucekit as he realized he was given possibly the most deadly cat in Shadowclan as a mentor. He was unsure whether he should have been glad or somewhat fearful as rumors had spread through camp about her and Frozentalon possibly being Hawkfeather's murderers. Per usual, Sprucekit held his emotions inside as the large, brown she-cat padded up to touch noses with the golden tom. He gently stretch out his neck from where he sat to touch noses with her, almost flashing a look of fear at his sister as he wondered whether she'd be harsh on him in his training or not. But Twistedclaw didn't seem bothered, but didn't show any signs of being proud or glad to become a mentor either. Just... Her usual look of disapproval she gives to seemingly everything and everyone.
