So I've been looking into opinions and thinking-Sprigpaw never wanted to be a medcine cat for several reasons that went beyond a preference from fighting over healing.
Sprigpaw was aware that the medicine cat's path was harder and lonelier then a warriors. She would have to keep secrets from her clanmates and never have a family. Well, Sprigpaw might have been a bit small to be thinking about getting a mate, but she was from a very tight-knit family-with a caring father and mother and a brother and sister who were her best friends-Coldkit and Frostkit-snowy names for their pale coats-Sprigpaw was mostly pale golden. Coldkit was serious, but more relaxed and less ambitious then Hollyleaf. (I just picked her prefix because I thought it seemed interesting.) Frostkit was timid, shy, and probably would have been very unhappy if the sibling with whom he shared a den with every night in the nursery suddenly was across camp from him. (Leaving his mother was bad enough). Sprigpaw might have been more exuberant and outgoing, but she too would have felt the wound.
So Sprigpaw, Coldpaw and Frostpaw became apprentices. Sprigpaw, while tree-climbing was not in her skillset and fighting had to be limited to self-defense, proved to be an excellent hunter and tracker. (Her mentor, Ashheart, also did teach Sprigpaw the various names and forms of battle moves, sensing a future mentor in the keen young she-cat) She fought in one battle, which she did well in, because her opponent-an arrogant ThunderClanner-was more interested in putting on a show of intimidation and thus was easy for Spigpaw to tussle with.
Sprigwhisker, Coldleaf, and Frostfoot became warriors soon enough.
Sprigwhisker had an apprentice-an especially unruly young tom named Beepaw who Sprigwhisker promptly set about breaking in by taking him on a romp through SkyClan territory.
She took a mate named Claypelt, a tom slightly younger then her.
They had four kits-Sprigwhisker name the she-cats, and Claypelt named the toms.
Sprigwhisker named the she-cats Smallkit and Billowkit, Claypelt named the tom Grasskit and Warmkit (because he felt so warm an full of love that Warmkit just couldn't NOT be a name)
Sprigwhisker became deputy for a few moons (her strong organization and good mind served her well) before retiring alongside Claypelt to the elder's den-proud mother of Smallflower, Billowfur, Warmwind, and Grass-storm.
Constructive Criticism to this OC is welcome!
I will listen!
