Click the cat's name for the picture I chose, but you can always modify this.

~History~
Spiritkit was not born in Thunderclan. Actually, she was born in Shadowclan to two Shadowclan warriors. She never knew that until she was nearly six moons though. Her father, thinking her pathetic and weak because of her size, was abandoning her on the Thunderpath when a Thunderclan warrior intervened. Why they fought over the matter is a mystery, but the Thunderclanner, Beardance, won. He got Spiritkit, as he named her, into Thunderclan territory and bathed her to hide the scent. His sister at the time was nursing her third litter and he took Spiritkit to Badgersong, hoping for her to show mercy.
Badgersong was willing and Spiritkit grew up with Oakkit and Robinkit, Badgersong's kits, knowing she wasn't really Badgersong's daughter but not knowing who she really was. She fought with Robinkit and Oakkit all the time, and started hanging out around the elders and Beardance more than anything. When she was forced to be in their company, she spent it bathing. She felt it made her seem very grown up.
Thunderstar worried about the young kit, but Beardance believed in her so much that she consented to Beardance taking her on as an apprentice. What Spiritpaw didn't know what that Beardance had already trained another apprentice, Shimmerpaw, who was Badgersong's other daughter. Shimmerpaw had died and Beardance forever had that guilt. Shimmerpaw's sister, Mysticpool was kind to Spiritkit and tried to stop Beardance from blaming himself. Smallpaw, who was Badgersong's son, was like the other apprentices though - cruel.
So early on, Spiritpaw knew she didn't want to spend much time with them. Her first night in the apprentice den she left and went to stand guard with Beardance instead. Throughout her training she had difficulty making friends, but shortly after becoming a warrior all that changed.
Shadowclan raided Thunderclan's camp one evening and among them was Spiritsong's birth mother and father. Her father was now deputy and had his eyes set on making his son, Ghostclaw, leader. Spiritsong was recognized and her mother wouldn't fight her. Spiritsong on the other hand would fight. She not only gave her mother several good scratches, but left Ghostclaw with a scar over his eye, blinding him on that side. Darktiger, her father, was furious and attacked her to kill, but Beardance and Badgersong defended her. After that, her loyalties were nolonger in question quite as much as they had been.
But when Ghostclaw showed up one night begging for help, those loyalties were suddenly challenged. Thunderstar was sending Spiritsong along with the other warriors to aide the Shadowclan leader. Darktiger had been unable to instill the same amount of ambition in Ghostclaw, so now he had rogues attack to try to kill off their leader, leaving him to assume power. Spiritsong wanted nothing more than to stay home in Thunderclan, but Ghostclaw insisted that she be included in the raid.
As they headed for Shadowclan, he explained why. Darktiger had managed to convince some in the clan that Spiritsong had started a blood feud with Shadowclan, and they needed to hear that wasn't true. If Darktiger was caught lying, then the clan would loose faith in him.
They attacked, and Spiritsong instantly sought out Darktiger, who was aiming for a death blow on the injured leader. Spiritsong attacked him with all the pent up anger and hatred she had kept locked away after seasons of abuse and taunts from Thunderclan. She ended up injuring him very badly, though it was unintentional. Then the medicine cat managed to call a clan meeting in order for her to announce the truth to Shadowclan. Regardless of invites to stay, she left Shadowclan, eager to be home.
At the next gathering, she learned the Shadowclan leader had indeed died, but neither Ghostclaw nor Darktiger (who was retired to the elders den because of how severe his injuries were) were his replacement. Spiritsong was glad, and welcomed Birchstar respectfully.
Thunderstar recognized that Spiritsong was determined to prove herself, and she recently gave her an apprentice. She has seemed to finally find acceptance, and hopes everyone knows just what clan she fights for.

Mind if I snatch Leopardstorm on here, too? 
And awesome, she sounds like a great character, I already have two ideas for plots with her.
