~ NOTE: Due to my heavy courseload, I (Jade) have decided to step down as owner and leader of Sparrowclan. One of our oldest members, the absolutely wonderful Bramble, has been kind enough to step up as the clan's new owner. Please come say hello at our NEW PAGE; we'd love to have you join us! ~
You are walking through a dense, dark forest when you here the whispers of cats coming from just up ahead. You walk further until you find a large group of cats gathered in a clearing. "Hello," A speckled brown she-cat purrs, "I am Sparrowstar, leader of Sparrowclan. You seem to have found your way to our camp." As you watch, a hundred curious gazes lock on you. "The choice is yours: will you join us?"
Hello there; thanks for stopping by! You seem to have stumbled upon Sparrowclan. We're a small, close-knit roleplay group, and we love welcoming new members! If you decide to join us, I promise that you'll be one of us in no time—and will hopefully make some friends along the way. Go on—say hello! We'd love to meet you!
Long ago, far from Sparrowclan territory, there lived a group of loners. They thrived in their shared territory for many moons, living among each other in peace and harmony, until one fateful moon when their resources began to dwindle. It happened slowly at first—a dry season followed by a slight, unusual swelling of the rivers—but soon enough the cats were faced with a full-on flood. When the water cleared, the land was left cold, swampy, and preyless.
Though most of the group refused to leave their homes behind, a brave collection of loners knew that they could remain no longer on their ruined land. Thus, these cats bid their loved ones goodbye and, led by a wise tom named Eagle, began their search for a land to grant them the peace and prosperity they had once enjoyed.
Through the journey was long and several cats were lost to its hardships, the wanderers eventually stumbled upon a prosperous stretch of land full of meadows, trees, river, and—most importantly—plenty of prey to go around. The passing moons separated the once-united group into four distinct clans, but the bonds between them remained strong. Though Ravenclan, Robinclan, and Crowclan were eventually lost once again to their loner roots, Sparrowclan remained strong—and a new clan, nurtured by Sparrowclan, rose alongside it: Doveclan.
At the height of victory, tragedy struck; Doveclan was destroyed by a group of vicious foxes, and Sparrowclan suffered through a battle with a vicious group of rogues. The older warriors and apprentices are haunted to this day by the memories of the friends that they lost in the conflict. Still, hope will always win out over darkness, and the wounded clan has rebuilt and grown strong again, bolstered by the conviction never to face such devastating loss again despite the vicious group of rogues recoalescing on the edge of the territory.
Sparrowclan territory is a terrain of rolling hills covered in thin grass and laced with rivers. The moist ground lends itself to abundant plant growth, but common green-leaf floods stop anything in the numerous small valleys from growing too tall. The rivers trickling through the territory are calm and shallow for most of the year, easy to wade through and swim in. The camp itself is nestled on the top of a hill, hidden in a clearing surrounded by tall grass. The dens are woven from dried stalks of grass, and the leader's den rests under a bramble-covered boulder at one end of camp.
Not far from camp, on lower ground, is a small marshy pond where frogs and the occasional fish can be found. Part of a forest marks the clan's boundary, and rabbits as well as the occasional squirrel can be found there. The rivers are perfect for fishing and wading in greenleaf, though they occasionally freeze during particularly cold stretches of time.
A thunderpath lined with tall hedges on each side stretches along the northern edge of the territory. The eastern and southern borders dissolve into forest, where a hostile group of rogues dwells just beyond the outskirts of the territory.
On top of Sparrowclan's easternmost hill rests a lone weeping willow with long, silvery leaves. This is the Moonwillow, the place where Sparrowclan cats go to share tongues with Starclan. When the moonhigh light hits the leaves at just the right angle, the tree sparkles with refracted light, and Starclan walks in the dreams of the present cats.
Many types of prey can be found on Sparrowclan territory, including:
Fish ~ very common
Mice ~ very common
Frog ~ common
Vole ~ common
Rabbit ~ common
Mole ~ uncommon
Hawk ~ rare
Current season: Leafbare
1. Follow all forum and ghost rules: This should be pretty self-explanatory, but it's really important. If we all do this, we'll be okay ^-^
2. Be active: Please try to be on at least every fe days (more often if you have a high-ranking character), and this doesn't mean just popping in to say hello and leaving again. If you know that you won't be active for a while, I promise that I'll understand; just let me know, and I'll hold your spot! If you don't tell me, you'll be deleted after roughly a month of inactivity. You can rejoin—but, if this happens frequently enough, you may not be accepted again.
3. Try to be reasonably literate: I'm not asking for a novel, but it's polite to give other people something to respond to. There's no minimum post length here, and we have valued members of all levels, but please make an effort to write more than one line. Use your five senses, describe the surroundings...you can do it! Please roleplay in the third person (he/she/they/etc) and past tense to keep things consistent. Furthermore, please make an effort to use decent spelling and grammar, and use () [] or {} when not rping.
4. Keep language appropriate: No excessive swearing, please! It's that simple. We want to make this page a safe place for all everyone.
5. Keep everything PG: There can, of course, be romance and fighting, but it can't be too graphic. Use *skip* or switch to PM (in keeping with the broader forum rules!) if needed.
6. No Mary-Sues/Gary-Stues: Everyone has flaws; it's no fun to roleplay opposite a perfect character. No one can take on a whole group of enemies and come out without a scratch, and no cat is so beautiful that everyone in the clan loves them. Give flawed characters a chance; they're actually really fun to work with.
7. No God-modding or rping other people's characters: Give people a chance to reply, please. This also means that you cannot kill other people's characters without permission. Thank you!
8. Include everyone: Try to roleplay with everyone; it's more fun that way. I also suggest that you don't make two of your characters mates, either, unless you have a reason that you really want to—it's more interesting to develop their relationships with other people's characters.
9. Be kind: This is pretty self-exlanatory, but don't insult, flame, or cause discomfort to others in any way. You know what's considered kind—chances are you've been interacting with other human beings for your whole life! Furthermore, LGBTQ+ characters are accepted and welcome, so absolutely no slurs or insults in that regard (or in any, for that matter) will be tolerated.
10. All big plot points must be accepted by me (Jade): Please check with me before starting a significant battle or creating a prophecy; I almost always say yes. To prove that you read the rules, please put an emoticon (any one you want!) in the "other" section of your joining form. Go ahead and plan hunting patrols, romances, border skirmishes, and such as frequently as you'd like—just let me know if you have any really big ideas, and I'll do my best to help facilitate them in a way that works for the whole clan.
11. Have fun: That's the the whole point right?
These rules may be updated at any time, so please check them regularly!

A Warrior's Pawbook by WιɳƚҽɾႦɾҽҽȥҽ (a great guide to herbs, battle moves, the warrior code, etc)
LEADER
| Sparrowstar | 72 moons | Small, wiry brown she-cat with a pale brown belly and a dusting of darker brown spots scattered across her back. Her pelt is darkest brown along her spine and fades to a light golden-brown near her chest and legs. She has a patch of white on her chest, four white paws, and deep green eyes. Sparrowstar is a kind she-cat who always puts her clan first. She is fiercely loyal to her clan and treats every member like her kin—this leads her to be protective and compassionate towards them, regardless of their age. She is graceful in the practiced way of one who has spent countless moons honing her skills and has learned to move with purpose; her words are equally smooth, as she speaks slowly and rarely shares her opinion without first thinking her words through. Though this calculated nature benefits her as a leader, it can also take the form of hesitancy; she tends to wait as long as possible before engaging her clan in a battle to afford herself time to weigh her options. She would much rather sacrifice the clan's honor than see her clanmates injured. She has four lives left. | Jade |
DEPUTY
MEDICINE CAT
| Bramblepath | 26 moons | Bramblepath’s fur is short, and mostly black, with his paws and upper tail being white. He has green eyes, and a peculiar grey stripe over his left eye. Generally speaking, Bramblepath is a patient and gentle cat, but when his patience runs out he isn’t afraid to talk back to anyone (even if said anyone is Sparrowstar herself). He has no patience for his father however, and frequently scolds him in a very overprotective nature. Bramblepath also has a very limited idea of personal space, and isn’t afraid to get closer than most other cats would deem acceptable (although this may come from his job or his complete and utter lack of a social life). His mother’s death to green-cough when he was barely 2 moons old is what motivated him to be a medicine cat, and he spent much of his time in the medicine cat's den in his younger days. Due to this, he doesn’t really have many friends within the clan, and has developed an abnormally good ability to sniff out herbs. | Bramblepath |
MEDICINE CAT'S APPRENTICE
| Midnightpaw | 8 moons | Midightpaw is a large-bodied Maine Coon she-cat. She has completely black fur, which she gained her name from. Her fur is long and fluffy, growing longer on her tail though. She is slightly bigger than other apprentices her age, though not by much. Her eyes are a pale, leafy green hue. Midnightpaw is a very quiet she-cat, not even speaking most of the time except for to her mentor and the leader. She is very patient and good with identifying herbs and such, making her a very good medicine cat already even though she still has much to learn. She is scared of thunder and lightning. | Jekyll |
WARRIORS
| Mosspatch | 65 moons | Mosspatch is a small, short haired tortoiseshell she-cat with bright green eyes like the color of moss—hence her name. She also has faint graying around her muzzle due to her rising age. Mosspatch also has an issue with her back hind paw, and she is unable to unsheathe her claws on that paw. Mosspatch is a patient and wise she-cat, always there with a piece of sage advice or a listening ear. Despite this, however, she tends to be too selfless, neglecting to care for herself in her drive to care for the young or elderly, especially in times of stress and hardship. | Wolfsteps |
| Willowthorn | 36 moons | A very slender she-cat with a feathered tail and three V nicks in her right ear. She is a pale grey colour with darker flecks along her flank, hind quarters and shoulders. Her muzzle is white along with a neat white dash on her chest. She has some distinctive tabby markings down her cheek and a stripped tail, other than that she has no other stripping. Willowthorn has a bit of a short temper, she can be moody at times and is known to talk back when she feels like her opinion has been challenged. At times she seems a bit hard to approach because Willowthorn has a sharp tongue. She won’t tolerate being pushed around by other cats, particularly the toms, as she won’t be afraid to push back. Apart from her standoffish and sassy personality, Willowthorn is a big softie, particularly when it comes to kits. | Fawnhearts |
| Mooncloud | 34 moons | Mooncloud is a black tabby tom with small green eyes, and a small, pointed, black nose, which is barely contrastable from his black fur. His long, black tail provides him with added grace, and serves as a nice contrast to his short, yet stalky, black ears and green eyes. Mooncloud is about average height, but isn’t the most muscular or athletic cat, and is rather clumsy. As such, he prefers to try to use his opponents’ offense against them, rather than relying on speed or stealth. Mooncloud is a quiet and empathetic cat, and enjoys engaging in small-talk with those he cares for. But, he is rather untrusting of others, which impedes his ability to have strong relationships, and he only opens up to those who have proven to be “worthy” of his trust. But, despite his general distrust, he is very caring and friendly with those he’s fond of. Unfortunately, due to this un-trustful nature, he is rather callous and withholding, when around those he doesn’t know or trust, which occurs more often than he likes. Mooncloud was a loner before he joined the clan, but his partner passed away in a battle and wasn’t able to join with him. His status as a loner helped shape and spur his distrust, which was further amplified by his former mate’s passing. | spαcє |
| Firestrike | 33 moons | Long-furred, fiery ginger tom with a tall, thin build. He has one black paw, and a pair of dark blue eyes sit atop a sloping, sneering muzzle. Firestrike is irritable and impulsive, tending to follow his intuition more than his logic. He is a brave and skilled fighter, but is a very sore loser and hard to please, with praises from him being few and far-between. Even so, he would never truly try to hurt a kit or apprentice and would willingly die to protect one. An ambitious tom, the path to his respect is through bravery and skill in battle; if a cat proves themself a worthy opponent or teammate, regardless of clan, they win a special place in his esteem. Though some call him an impatient mentor, he has a soft spot for his apprentices—but this affection doesn't affect his high expctations, of course. | Jade |
| Mistyfur | 23 moons | Mistyfur has short light grey fur with splotches of darker blue-grey fur in several areas. Her eyes are blue, and despite being mostly scar free she does sport a nick in her right ear from a training session gone wrong. When she was younger, she had an adventurous spirit and was rarely seen in camp, sometimes disappearing for days at a time hunting and exploring before returning to camp for a scolding from her mentor and several days of cleaning the elders den. However, her traumatic reunion with her family began to make her feel insecure about her position within the clan (and just about everything else), and she began locking down the adventurous side of herself. Now she spends so much time trying to be useful to the clan that it is almost unhealthy. While she doesn’t show it, she takes comments and judgements that question her ability and criticize her actions negatively, and it occasionally plummets her self-esteem for extended periods of time. | Bramblepath |
| Smokenose | 28 moons | Smokenose is a light gray tom with icy blue eyes, with dark gray paws and a dark gray splotch around his muzzle. He also has a small scar on his left shoulder. Smokenose is a very energetic tom that always tried to make everyone happy. Even though he sometimes comes off as bothersome and annoying, he never gives up on trying to make other clanmates happy. | Wolfsteps |
| Onkódis | 20 moons | Onkódis is, in one word, massive. He is a Maine Coon with muffin feet, a form of polydactylism. This tom is even bigger than a normal Maine Coon, and he isn't done growing yet. His head is the size of a basketball and his body is as long as a kid's bike. He head reaches to almost mid thigh on a two-leg, and his paws are the size of a normal cats face. His fur is very long and fluffy, feathering out on his ears and sides of face. He is a series of white, silvers, and grays all spotted and patched along his fur. He has a small bit of brown under his nose where his whiskers come out, and his claws are long and black. He has long, white whiskers and a large pink nose with black speckling. His paw pads are white and his ears are very large. He has beautiful silver eyes that have just the slightest hint of blue as well, and his tail is long and feathery-soft. Onkódis, despite his size, is a sweetheart. He can be quite intimidating and ferocious when he wants and is definitely someone you do not want to make mad. He comes from Greece, and his family just moved to a two-leg place near Sparrowclan territory a few moons ago though his original owner, an elderly man, died. The man's children had wanted to give Onkódis to a shelter where he would have been put down for being too big, and Onkódis was looking for a way to get away. He ended up finding the clan and was only about 5 moons old at this time. After much consideration, he was allowed to join the clan, though he begged to keep his original name. | Jekyll |
| Sootstripe | 19 moons | Dark gray tom with black tabby stripes. He has a white belly, chest, paws, and muzzle, ending in a stripe of white reaching up to a spot between his eyes. The white on his right hind leg goes about halfway up his lower leg. He has a black stripe running down his spine from between his ears to the end of his tail, and greenish-yellow eyes. Sootstripe is a friendly and tough tom, always ready for adventure. He is generally friendly in social situation, but he doesn't always pick up some of the more nuanced cues. Though he is not the best strategist in the clan, he is very interested in the concept, and he tends to pick up on things quickly when they are explained to him. He is a hard worker and likes to keep busy, as it makes him feel important. | Jade |
| Mothpelt | 28 moons | Mothpelt is a long-haired black and silver tabby with white on her chest and around her muzzle. Her eyes are green, and she is of average size. She has a scar over her right eye and part of her left ear missing. Having lived on her own in the woods for so long, Mothpelt is still learning how to rely on others for help. She is slow to trust, but once she let's a cat into her life, she will give them her loyalty. Mothpelt is biromantic asexual. | rockydublin |
APPRENTICES
| Jadepaw | 14 moons | Thick-furred brown tabby she-cat with green eyes. She has one white paw and a white tail tip. Jadepaw is small in size but broad-shouldered with a muscular build. Her tabby tail is thick and fluffy, seemingly always getting caught in brambles and bushes. Jadepaw is a kind she-cat with an enthusiastic but blunt personality; though she can be rude to those she is close to, she is usually unfailingly polite to older warriors outside of her friend group, as she—usually—knows better than to make them angry. She is friendly, cheerful, and stubborn, but has a competitive streak and can be grumpy if something doesn't go her way. | Jade |
| Stagpaw | 14 moons | Stagpaw is a lithe-bodied tom with long legs and an even longer tail. His fur is semi-long, being close to two inches long, and is very fluffy and soft. He has large ears and an angular face, his eyes are medium sized and a bit upturned at the corners. He has long black claws and one missing tooth, his left canine. Stagpaw is a dark brown tom with an even darker brown overcoat. His front right paw is black and he has a black dorsal stripe running from his nose, over his head, and all the way to his tail tip. In sunlight, very faint gray stripes can be seen along his legs and tail. His eyes are a very beautiful color, resembling that of the color of water when moonlight hits it. Stagpaw is a very calm and level-headed tom, never one to let his emotions get the best of him. He prefers to focus on one thing at a time and is prone to thinking things through before he acts. He listens closely to things and tries to always keep up with what is happening around him. Despite is normal calm attitude, this tom has quite a bit of stress and sometimes leaves camp if it becomes to much. He can sometimes even be found in the territory at night, having small panic attacks. He doesn't let this affect his performance for the clan, though. | Jekyll |
| Fawnpaw | 8 moons | Tiny she-cat with hazel eyes. Her fur is a light, dusky brown, striped with darker brown in a tabby pattern, and her chin and chest are a soft whiteish-cream. Her downy fur is a bit longer than that of her siblings—a trait that she particularly despises for its tendency to bush when she is feeling angry or scared. What Fawnpaw lacks in size, she does her very best to make up for in pure sound. She is feisty, adventurous, and claims little respect for rules—though one firm look from an older warrior is usually enough to send her scurrying back into line. Though sweet and extroverted, she has a nose for trouble and will gladly tag along on any misadventures she can find—that is, if she isn't already leading the charge. | Jade |
| Bumblepaw | 8 moons | Bumblepaw is a dappled tom with light brown and tan fur and a white underbelly. His eyes are green. He is an incredibly serious and stubborn cat, so getting him to break the rules is almost impossible unless it is the only way that he can prevent another cat from doing something so stupid it would most likely result in physical harm. Despite this, he does have a good sense of humor (although most of his jokes fall flat) and will go to great lengths to cheer another cat up if they are feeling down. Despite his serious attitude, he is not afraid to resort to pranks and other mischief if it will accomplish his goals, and this does tend to get him in trouble. | Bramblepath |
| Pebblepaw | 7 moons | Snow-colored she-cat with wide, green eyes and a pink nose. The only color on her pelt comes in the form of a pair of tabby splotches over her ears—one ginger and one gray—and a matching marbled shade covering her tail. She is rather small for her age, and her fluffy kit-fur has not completely disappeared—a fact that annoys her to no end. Pebblepaw is one of the sweetest cats in the clan, always ready with a smile or a cheerful word. She thrives in social situations and will gladly chat with any cat she can wrangle into a discussion for hours on end. Bubbly but easily swayed by others' opinions, she tends to lose focus easily and flits from task to task. Still, she likes to feel useful and isn't the type to sit around doing nothing. | Jade |
| Angelpaw | 7 moons | Angelpaw is a white she-cat with a black stripe down her back, black paws, and reddish eyes. She is brave, sarcastic, and pretty cynical, but she is fearless. She was born in a kittypet family but joined the clan and is now training to be a warrior. She is lesbian. | gravedigger |
QUEENS & KITS
| Fishkit | 5 moons | Pale silver tom-kit with leaf-green eyes and a lighter gray belly and undertail. The toes of each paw are snowy white, and he has a smudge of the same color across his angular muzzle. Though his fur is long and rather fluffy, this tom's frame beneath is wiry and lithe. Unlike his sister Rabbitit, Fishkit is quite shy and careful. He hates to step out of line and call attention to himself, as he tends to be quite anxious, preferring to let other kits entertain while he hangs back. However, the young tom has a quiet grace about him and a sharp mind; those who push past his shyness are met with a quick wit, determination, and an intensely compassionate heart. He doesn't particularly enjoy the idea of battle, though a fear of disappointing others stops him from readily expressing these nerves. The promise of knowledge is practically the only thing that can cause him to break a rule, as his boundless—if tentative—curiosity is practically unmatched within the clan. | Jade |
| Rabbitkit | 5 moons | A pale, dusky brown she-kit; Fishkit's troublesome sister and Featherspark's daughter. | Open to claim; feel free to flesh out her description and personality! |
| Emberblaze | 26 moons | Emberblaze is a small, fiery ginger she-cat with short but soft and sleek fur. Her eyes are golden. She has a long tail, which helps her climb, which is something she is good at. Despite her small size, she is quite strong and fast. She is kind and gentle, as well as very protective of her family. She can be a bit too nice, and too forgiving, which can come back to bite her. She is also very trusting, as well as being fairly trustworthy. She wants everyone to get along, but that can't always happen, which causes her distress. She can be more fierce than an angry badger if her family is threatened, however, which is very different to her normal behavior. | tinyflame |
| Swiftkit | 4 moons | Swiftkit has short, soft, jet-black fur, long legs, and distinct pale gray stripes on his legs and tail. He has a long, soft tail and golden eyes. He is kind and gentle to those he cares about, but that group is small and consists of cats he trusts. He can be judgemental, and can be rude, but he means the best, really. He is also a pathological liar. | tinyflame |
| Maplekit | 4 moons | Maplekit is a small, fiery ginger she-cat with dark green eyes. Her claws are long and sharp, and her fur is short and soft. She has large ears, a long tail, and long legs proportionate to her size. She's super sweet and kind, not wanting to hurt anyone. She is quite friendly, but can be a bit shy. She reacts poorly to yelling, which makes her shrink away and makes her want to hide. She is very loyal, and would never betray her clan. | tinyflame |
| Moose | 19 moons | Moose is a rather average sized female with a deep brown coat and light colored specks that dot her entire body from head to tail like stars. She has creamy colored socks that cover all four paws and end midway up her legs. Along with that, she has black ears and olive green eyes along with a small pink nose. In the beginning, Moose was a calm, courageous, and loyal she-cat. She adored her small family of loner cats from the day she was born into it. Though after a fox attack split her peaceful family apart and a rogue tom left her heartbroken and with more lives than just her own to look after, she became more quiet and withdrawn. After her kits were born, however, the loyalty and courage slowly returned to her as she realized that if she was going to keep her two kits safe, she couldn't be acting like a startled mouse. | underthesilverpelt |
| Timberkit | 1 moon | Timberkit is a spitting image of his mother, the only difference being that he has more deeper green color to his eyes and lacks the white speckles on his fur. He still has her cream colored blotches that form almost socks that end nearly halfway up his legs. Even at this age, Timberkit is defiant. He doesn't like being told what to do and would only do so if he also agrees with the command. Despite this, Timberkit also grows to be quite smart. It might not be about the things you'd like him to be smart about, like hiding from a scolding or sneaking a mouse from under a warrior's paws, but he is still a kit after all. He does love his small family and is always questioning about his father, though he never does get much of an answer from Moose. | underthesilverpelt |
| Robinkit | 1 moon | Robinkit, like the father she never met, has a reddish coat that melts into more of a burgundy color has it travels to her paws. Covering her pelt, she has splotches and spots of a more soft dawn colored yellow that are paired with green eyes that are actually lighter than her mother's or her brother's. Robinkit is much more quiet than her brother. She's a sincere cat for her age, everything she says being almost truthful to a fault. She's a sweet kit who adores her brother, but would definitely be the one to get him out of most trouble if she weren't so truthful. She's fairly intelligent too, but most of it is centered about Clanlife. While she does love her brother and spends as much time as she possibly can at her side, she's also fairly introverted when it comes to any other cat. She's usually found curled underneath her mother's chin while her brother rushes behind them in search of escape from a warrior who wasn't too pleased about getting his food stolen. | underthesilverpelt |
ELDERS
| Nightheart | 69 moons | A large, jet black tom with a strong presence, Nightheart was an intimidating warrior back in his day. The grey flecks in his fur and the aches and pains that come with age are the only things that betray Nightheart’s age, and even then it sometimes feels more like speaking to an energetic young warrior than an aging elder. He expresses a fatherly attitude towards his son, Bramblepath, which tends to lead towards arguments as he brushes off things that his son finds important (such as spontaneous hunting trips to the river despite his age and muscle problems). Originally, Nightheart was from a different clan up in the mountains, however due to his mate’s failing health Nightheart and his mate Snowfeather moved down to Sparrowclan shortly before Bramblepath was born. After his mate’s death, he was left to raise Bramblepath alone. Due to his own muscle issues, Nightheart retired to the elder’s den shortly after his son became an apprentice (more than likely at Bramblepath’s urging). Despite his early retirement, he still has many stories to tell, and enjoys sharing bits and pieces of the clan’s past, and his own. | Bramblepath |
OUTSIDERS
| Whiskey | 120 moons | Whiskey is a burly tom, slightly round in the stomach with powerful back legs and broad shoulders, with big paws. He has very long hair that almost appears scraggly, making him look unkept, but he doesn’t spend too much time grooming anyways. Whiskey’s left ear is completely torn to shreds, and his right ear is almost completely missing. He has two scars above his right eye and a long scar along his nose bridge. Whisky has a long scar down his left hind quarter that is parted in his fur. Whiskey got his name by his owners from his coppery orange coat, with dark brown stripes (that have almost faded due to his age). Whiskey had a white muzzle that flecks towards his cheeks and white paws. He has one snaggle tooth that juts out of his mouth on the right side, giving him a slightly lopsided look. He also has very intense orange eyes. Whiskey is a very laid back character, though he sometimes comes off as cocky. He has very little patience with younger cats and honestly doesn’t like to deal with a whole lot of drama. When Whiskey was younger, he was active in sparring and definitely liked to pick on the clan cats, but with old age he’d rather just hang about and live his life—yet this doesn’t mean that he isn’t capable of delivering a nasty blow. Whiskey has a rather sarcastic demeanour and is rather charming (he has a country kind of accent). Whiskey also knows how to speak dog. | Fawnhearts |
| Blackjack | 28 moons | Blackjack is a large, long legged black-furred tom with very distinct light gray stripes on his legs and tail. His eyes are a dark green color, and he has long, sharp claws. He can be a little rough around the edges, and kind of aggressive. He can keep a secret, of which he has many. He's very powerful, and somewhat arrogant, favoring sarcasm a lot. He can be kind, but only to a select group of cats. | tinyflame |
| Mara | 23 moons | While her sister, Mistyfur, takes after their mother (both in her physical appearance and her personality), this grey she-cat with short fur and orange eyes couldn’t be any different. While her sister prefers peaceful solutions to conflicts, Mara is more than willing to jump claws first into any argument. This has left her with more than her fair share of scars. When she is able to restrain herself enough not to claw the ears off of any clan-cat she meets, she is not as able to restrain her tongue from endlessly mocking them. Despite this attitude however, she is not really malicious in her intentions. Unlike her sister - who escaped their father and found safety with the clan - Mara was raised in a “kill-or-be-killed” environment. Once a cat gets to know her and earns her trust, she is quite easy to get along with and is loyal to the death. | Bramblepath |
| Raven | 22 moons | Slim, long-legged she-cat built for stealth. Her snow-white belly, muzzle, toes, and tail-tip provide a stark contrast to her sleek, jet black pelt, and a pair of yellow eyes peer out from her raven-colored face, almost always accompanied by her signature smirk. Raven is a sly specimen, a rogue in every meaning of the word. Though she prefers life in a group for the added security it brings, she treasures her independence and will protect it to the very end. In fact, she often disappears into the forest for a few hours when she needs to clear her head. Not exactly the chatty type, the she-cat has an air of secrecy, as if she can't help but seem like she'd hiding something—still, she can be friendly to the odd cat she choose she as an ally, and she is loyal enough to any friends who don't give her a reason to be distrustful. She believes deeply in the value of strength and has little patience for weak cats. Though she projects a cool exterior, she loves to tease and can never say no to a chance to show off her charm. | Jade |

In memory of our dear friend Cloud, I wanted to keep her characters here. Her loyalty and friendship have shaped Sparrowclan profoundly, and we miss her so much.
| Leafpelt | 28 moons | Leafpelt has a gray-blue long haired pelt and bright green eyes, large ears, and a long tail. She is impatient, short-tempered, and fiery, but has a soft spot for elders and often visits them. Despite her temper she is fiercely loyal, a good hunter and fighter, and has little patience if you can't keep up. | Cloud |
| Blizzardsky | 20 moons | Blizzardsky is a pure white she-cat with midnight blue eyes. Blizzardsky is quiet and calm, fiercely loyal, and very loving and sweet. She hates to see cats injured, and hates hurting other cats and some animals, so she hesitates to attack. She insists on staying a warrior so that she can become a queen and have her own kits, but despairs that she will never find love so she can have kits. | Cloud |
| Lilacpaw | 9 moons | An already sleek and beautiful light gray she-cat who appears to have a lilac tint to her coat when in sunlight. Her eyes are gray, but like her coat, seem to change color at different times, except her eyes can appear as anything from yellow to brown. She is graceful and lithe. Lilacpaw is a major show-off. She is aware that she is very pretty and likes to flaunt it. She is good at hunting birds and mice, as she can creep lightly on the ground, but is very bad catching anything else. She has never even attempted to catch a fish, as she claims the muddy water would ruin her beautiful paws. She is an average fighter, not unusually strong but not too weak. She hates the idea of fighting, as she is very careful about her looks. However, she never backs down from a challenge and can never stand it when cats make fun of others. | Cloud |
| Cloudpaw | 7 moons | Pale gray tabby she-cat with very thick, long fur, and bright green eyes. She's on the smaller size, but she makes up for it with her strength. Cloudpaw is easily irritated but always helpful. She is a bit clumsy, but makes up for it with her ability to stretch her voice and imitate all types of voices. She loves a good story, and she is silly and fun. She doesn't get along well with kits and is a bit of an outsider among the apprentices. Her father was most likely a loner or a kittypet, and her mother was a loner who heard about the clans. Wanting a better life for her and her single kit, she went to find the clan, but died of starvation before they arrived. Cloudpaw went on without her mother and found her new home. | Cloud |
| Twist | 52 moons | Dark maroon-brown tom with a distinctive tail twisted with white—hence the name Twist. He is very large—with long legs and a thick tail—and powerful, with the strength of two warriors. Twist has no respect for the clans. He is a ruthless killer and prey-stealer but refuses to harm kits, as he watched his first son die when a rogue captured and killed him. He never backs down from a challenge, and his main goal in life is to keep his kit safe and try to make up for accidentally kiling the kit's mother, Moon. He particularly hates any other rouge cats, believing that all rouges are dangerous and should be avoided. He is almost always watching his kit from afar, never interfering in her life, but always ready to hurt or even kill anything that threatens his child. | Cloud |
