Enthusiastic. He is a livewire, buzzing and brimming with emotion, most of it positive. Sparrowstep is full of good cheer, and nothing seems quite able to bring him down. His brother is dead? Carry through by making a spectacle of his clumsiness. Though Sparrowstep can easily show his serious side, he can just as easily mask any insecurity under the sometimes-guise of a cheerful beam. This behavior is a defense mechanism designed to protect his vulnerabilities. The tom is a graceful hunter and that's unfortunately where his grace ends. Otherwise, he's an incurable klutz, stumbling and tripping over himself and thin air at the most inconvienent of times. This trait has nearly cost him his life several times, and yet the medicine cat seems only amused whenever he winds up in their den. [/classy]Sparrowstep always has a kind word ready for his Clanmates, even when all he wants to do is collapse and never awake. He treats his Clan as though they were his kin, every one, delighting in the Gatherings and sharing his Clanmates' progress like a proud father. Of course, the tom has his flaws, and tends to run himself into the dirt without his friends or apprentice reminding him of the basics such as eating and drinking. His masks are something Sparrowstep hates to rely on, but he will use them without hesitation if he thinks their use will prevent someone from worrying about him. [classy=infotop]history[/classy][classy=infobottom] Born to parents Wasptail and Thornheart, Sparrowstep spent much of his kithood stumbling and tumbling through the camp and earning the contempt of the warriors. His clumsiness seemed to cling no matter what he tried, and the only steady companionship Sparrowkit knew was his littermate, Thrushkit. The two got into as much trouble as the average kits, disturbing the elders and pestering the medicine cat and their mother. [/classy]Once they hit their sixth moon, Thrushpaw began growing at a much faster rate than his thinner brother. Sparrowpaw found his saving grace from a storm of uncertainty and humiliation in the single act that did not end with the tom in a tangled heap of his own limbs. Hunting. Delighted, he focused almost entirely on the skill, and became quite proficient. Alas, all good things must end, and Sparrowpaw received his dreaded battle training. Sparrowpaw and Thrushpaw were the last cats of their batch of apprentices to receive their names, being the youngest. The leader commended his dedication to the tasks he set himself to, and named him Sparrowstep in honor of both his hunting grace and everyday clumsiness. Honest toil and learning the art of turning folly into humor occupied the tom's days. Sparrowstep's first apprentice was his own cousin, Brackenpaw. The two clashed in the early days of her apprenticeship due to the conflict both between their personalities and skills. She loved battle and threw herself into it wholeheartedly, gaining the skill that inevitably seemed to follow her enthusiasm. His hunting prowess could only do so much for her mediocre talent for stalking prey, though. Despite the rocky start to their mentor-apprentice relationship, the cousins have become close. Brackenstorm now uses the tom as a channel for venting, while he spends time with her for the sheer lack of care she shows regarding Sparrowstep's klutz tendencies. |
