The skies above are cloudy, a drizzle of rain had fallen over the forest floor, obscuring your vision as you trudged along. As you pass by a tree, above your head, you note what could very well be a bird’s nest.
There, nestled safely within a bed of sticks, mud, and spider silk, you’d be able to spot three small, pristine eggs. One, with a sprig of lavender threaded among the sticks just behind it. The second one, with a sparrow’s feather resting beside it. The third, tucked safely between them–a family soon to be made and treasured.
Hello there! Welcome to the long-awaited wet bird Sprizzle baby finder! For those of you who are unaware of who that pertains to, these will be the kits of Drizzlecloud and Sparrowpelt of Thunderclan. This was a long time coming and Sus and I have been dancing around the idea for a while now, so here it finally is! Do be aware: only one kitten will be chosen from this finder, as Sus and I have handpicked two other members who have expressed interest in these kittens for a long while, and so we have given them a baby. The last baby is up for grabs!
The deadline for this finder is September 15th!
Important Note:
This third baby will be named after Drizzlecloud’s apprentice, and Thunderclan’s previous Medicine Cat, Springlight. This kitten should have the prefix Spring or Light, that is all we ask. The rest is entirely up to you!
Other than that, craft up some lovely ideas for the little stinker. Be creative, as there is no set form. PS: Please don't mention us! We'll be keeping our eyes on this thread, so there will be no need.
Since both parents are tabby cats, these kits should... Probably be tabbies? I'm no genetic genius, but take that as you will. For reference, here are some images of both parents!

Oh dear...okay here we go!
Lightkit -> Lightspeckle/echo/heart
female
Lightkit will grow up to be a lean, agile hunter. Her pelt is primarily a light brown, with a light neck, deeper brown "saddle", and pale spotted tabby markings. She has a white chin, various brown shades on her tail, black front paws, and black hind toes. She has a pretty little face with her mother's sparkling bright green eyes, a small darker brown blaze above her light gray nose, and eye dots the same shade brown.
Lightkit will be the type of cat who starts out a little more on the shy side. By the time she matures into a warrior, she will have gained self-confidence and assurance. However, as a kit she will be clumsy and unsure of herself. As an apprentice, she will struggle to grow into her own and navigate how to make friends. She will have a touch of social anxiety, but eventually find the innate desire to will herself to continue to improve, one pawstep at a time.
She will develop an optimistic, hopeful, and upbeat outlook on life. Growing from a wallflower to fulfill her namesake as a bright light in the forest. She's not perfect though, and she does worry about slipping and returning to how she was as a kit - timid and unsure. She doesn't want to lose the confidence and friends she worked so hard for!
She will be naturally curious. This curiosity will more than likely get her into some trouble, which will create an almost crippling anxiety at making a mistake when she starts to learn as an apprentice. Eventually, this fear will be less crippling, but still present. This may cause her to hesitate before launching a catch or a strike in battle. She may not totally lose the instinct to pause and think, but she will eventually gain control over it as she ages and matures as a warrior and gains experiences.
She is going to love both of her parents, and while she may find her father to be a little overwhelming at times she will grow to rely on his sociability and his experience as an over-thinker to help her come to terms with her own anxieties. She will also be very close to her mother, and rely on her wisdom and kindness when things are especially hard.

SPRINGKIT tweety bird // female // dreamer
Requesting: Hypo Kit #4 (it’s just so adorable!)
SpringKit will be quite a humble, day-dreamer of a kit. She constantly is dazing off and saying random stuff, never living in the actual moment. Outside of her constant fantasizing she’s a sweet kit, often clinging to her mother’s side and doing her best to offer a helping paw wherever she can. She’d most likely be the runt of the litter as she’s a smaller kit and has odder behavior than most.
She’s rather interested in a lot, liking to soak in information like a sponge (when she’s actually paying attention that is). She sees her parents as idols, always looking up to them and hoping to be as strong as they are.
I plan to keep this kitten as active as I can (and may shelve a few characters to maintain her). I’ll definitely bring her up to warrior and see where she goes from there (hopefully good places!). I can’t wait to shape her character from a day-dreaming kitten to a (most likely) aloof warrior, still not too aware of everything around her. Her head will always be in the clouds and stars (and I may give her some ability to communicate with StarClan easily and such).

Springkit
Male || Hypokit #1
As soon as he opens his eyes, Springkit is eager to explore the world. He's extroverted, always up for playing with his friends. When he's young he wants to make as many friends as he can, but after a few incidents (see the paragraph below for context) he gives up and just settles for the friends he already has.
Springkit is partially deaf. I haven't figured his hearing issues out exactly, but it'll probably be similar to what Drizzlecloud had. This would allow for some cute bonding roleplays where Drizzlecloud teaches Springkit methods to deal with it. However, it is also a major impediment for him for obvious reasons, and it frustrates him to no end to not be able to understand things. He has a short temper, and if cats don't understand his hearing issues he gets annoyed and may choose not to be friends/continue his friendship with them.
Springkit is more of a leader, liking to take charge. This can make him seem a little bossy at times, but when leading group projects he makes sure things get done (and if someone slacks off he will not be pleased). This is more of a future trait, although he will show some elements of it in his kithood. Although he likes taking action, he can be impulsive, leaping before he looks. This might get him in a bit of trouble sometimes, but he means well. He is passionate but stubborn.
He'll probably be close with both his parents (although he's more of a mama's boy, sorry Sparrowpelt). His relationship with his siblings depends on their personalities.
