Sparksong was a reliable little girl who always wanted to be in the center of all the action. But if there was no action, she would make some. Her elders said that she lived up to her name because "Sparky always starts the fire." If something went wrong or something went missing, Sparky and her brother Lightningleap were always the first suspects. If they didn't cause the problem, they usually had an idea of who did. But true to her nature, if Sparky were asked to do something or be somewhere, she would make that happen. Her pupsitter Brightheart thought that her mischievous energy could be put to great use as a scout, as soon as she learned to harness it to her reliability.

At the Academy, Sparky found that studying speed and wisdom bored her. She needed more, and she was tired of being known as the trouble-maker. She was looking for some way to prove herself. When her brother Swiftfoot requested a three-track study instead of the traditional two-track, Sparky followed his lead. Mentor Snowwind asked her why and she was honest. Snow appreciated that and allowed her to add agility to her studies. Her lessons kept Sparky occupied in school, but old habits are hard to break and when class was over, she and Lightning were off looking for trouble again.

During her apprenticeship, Sparky impressed her aunt Stormsky with her adventurous spirit and willingness to follow directions. Her reputation was inauspicious, but being out in the wilderness, far from home and family, brought out a new side of Sparky. She listened well to Stormy, didn't wander, and avoided unnecessary risks. In fact, Stormy reported that she was an excellent apprentice and would make a wonderful scout very soon. Some of the other elders wondered if maybe Stormy was covering for Sparky, not wanting her niece to fail her apprenticeship. But when Sparky's trouble-making began to subside more and more at home, they had to admit that she was growing into a mature young adult.

On her first birthday, Sparky was prouder than she'd ever been. Stormy pulled the cloak from her own neck and draped it around Sparky. The cloth was years old and dotted with tiny tears and stains, but it was beautiful to Sparky. She and Lightning shared their first drink of fermented barley together and then wretched together too.

Now as an adult, Sparky really thrives on the trust and faith placed in her by her packmates. Her scouting work takes up a lot of her energy and she usually likes to take it easy when she's home. She has well and truly left behind the trouble-making puppy she was, but she still laughs at her siblings' antics and enjoys joking around with them. At least, that's true most of the time while she's sober. But after a fermented barley, it's like she's a mischievous pup again. Her packmates have to keep an eye on her to make sure she doesn't get into any real trouble. But despite what her elders used to say about her, she would never do anything destructive on purpose and she can always be counted on to clean up whatever mess she made the morning after.
