Leopard- Named after the marking on his pelt.
spark- Named after the spark in him to keep training even when all odds were against him.
Serious deputy trying to prove himself worthy of his position due to his mother, Aphrodite, being a kittypet whose charm his father, Pantherclaw, fell victim to. Leopardspark lived as a kittypet until he was 8 moons old and was known then by the name Ryder. Ryder decided to join the Clans when he was young and set off to find his father, meeting him for the first time after being caught by a RiverClan border patrol. His father claimed to not know him or his mother which left Ryder without support. Luckily for Ryder, the RiverClan leader at the time was an old, open-minded cat on the verge of retirement named Goosestar. Goosestar's grandfather was a kittypet which led to his decision to allow Ryder to join RiverClan. Goosestar accepted Ryder into the Clan with open arms, renamed him Leopardpaw, and offered to be his mentor himself. The deputy at the time, Flowerbreeze, watched Leopardpaw during his training and the two soon became close. Flowerbreeze became a mother-like figure towards Leopardpaw. The two often confided in each other. Leopardpaw and trained hard until be became a warrior known as Leopardspark. Leopardspark never became close to his father, Pantherclaw, but he envied him. Moons and moons later, Goosestar retired and his deputy, Flowerbreeze, became Flowerstar. Just like Leopardspark, Flowerstar was one of Goosestar's first apprentices back when he was a warrior. She carried the same values and open-mindedness that Goosestar did. Flowerstar named Leopardspark as her deputy and he has shown fit for the role ever since.
