~Personality~
Sparrowsong is a bit of a cynic, imbued with a very dry sense of humor and a pessimistic streak. She’s not the sort of cat one would go to when they want comfort; rather, she’s very critical and enjoys point out anything anyone is doing wrong. A cat has to fight to gain her respect. She is a harsh teacher, but those subjected to her teaching nearly always come out better for it since she doesn’t allow bad habits or mistakes.

Sparrowsong is fairly ambitious as well, and although she’s definitely not the sort who would kill or maim cats of her own clan to rise in rank, she will always be trying to place herself near the front of the line to the top. Although a loyal cat, this ambition can get in way. If she sees something that may give her a boost, Sparrowsong is likely to go after that rather than something that may be more expected and seem better in general.

Although her dry humor isn’t lifted for them, Sparrowsong also has a fondness for kittens. When she has no other duties, she can often be found near the queens’ den, playing with the older kits to give their mothers a break. However, a pickiness in toms has kept her from having many kits of her own.


~Short Description~
Sparrowsong is a long haired silver tabby she-cat with copper eyes.

~Description~
Although Sparrowsong has the light, angular build characteristic of Oriental breeds, she has thick fur as well, hinting of some Maine Coon in her pedigree. Along her stomach it is especially visible, while elsewhere on her body she generally keeps her fur very smooth, sleek, and thus shorter looking. Sparrowsong’s tail is the only exception to her otherwise well-groomed appearance; the fur there sticks out in all directions no matter what she tries.
As for coloring, Sparrowsong is a silver tabby. She has no particular markings past the usual black stripes. Her eyes are a coppery amber, stained slightly with green.

Sparrowsong’s right fore paw and ankle are scarred. A couple of her toes, the two more to the outside of her foot, have their claws eternally unsheathed and the pair are basically immobile. When she walks, she places more weight on the inside of that foot.

~History~
Sparrowsong was born and raised in WindClan, and from kithood through apprenticeship, had little happen past bragging that one day she would be the leader of the Clan, or at least the best warrior in it. Upon becoming a warrior, she snuck out alone in search of some way to prove that she was already well on her way to becoming the best.

A weasel had been causing trouble within the territory for the past while, and finding and defeating it seemed like just the thing to get her started on the path to the top. Overeager and overconfident, she set out to track the predator, and it wasn't too long before she was lucky enough to find it.

Sparrowsong was quick to pounce on her enemy, but still fairly inexperienced. During the fight, the weasel managed to chomp down on her right fore paw, and before she shook it off, sustained some bad damage that would stay with her the rest of her life. In the end she won the fight, but she hardly got the glory she had expected.

Despite that lesson in humility right at the start of her career, Sparrowsong grew into a very critical cat- she just also realized she needed to be critical of herself as well. It's come out with her being a useful cat to the Clan, but a bit of an annoyance as well.
