SPIDERPAW
Riverclan Apprentice | 9 moons | Lanky, amber eyed, blue-grey tabby she-cat with white paws, chin, and tail tip.
Heightened perception: Smell
~~~

Spiderpaw padded along as Heroneye led the way out of camp. Her tail lolled behind her as her mind spun with thoughts about what they would be doing for training today. The smell of the forest grounded her as they walked. Sprucepaw seemed really nice, and she liked Heroneye. The quieter group helped her relax a bit, even with the light coil of excitement mixed with anxiety about how well she might do in this lesson.

The clearing they stepped into was familiar. Spiderpaw remembered it from their last training session before they had moved on to the second part of their lesson. She looked around, feeling a bit more appreciation for the practically perfect space for sparring. No wonder this was Heroneye's preferred spot to train apprentices. Maybe when she was a warrior she would ask the lionheart if she could use it for training apprentices, too, someday.

Spiderpaw's ears perked up when she heard the assignment. Fight Sprucepaw? It would be the first time she got to spar with anyone else. She'd get to put her skills to use... but, she also didn't want Sprucepaw to feel discouraged because she hadn't been trained yet. So, she took a few steps to make some space between her and the other apprentice, ears perked and eyes keen. "Whenever you're ready." She said.

She had several ideas in her head, but settled on one she could use fairly quickly and easily. When Sprucepaw came closer, she would try to leap over the other apprentice, banking on her hopefully not rearing up to stop her, before she would kick out with both hind legs to keep whatever forward momentum Sprucepaw might have going, or at least off balance her. After that... well, she didn't have much of a plan, yet.
