Copycat - Sparkpelt AU animation meme

Always felt that Sparkpelt had some AMAZING potential that was never really explored. This doesn't really change any of the actual lore of AVoS, but rather adds to it.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sparkpaw always felt that she had this great legacy to live up to. The great Firestar was her grandfather, and Bramblestar and Squirrelflight - the leader and deputy - were her parents. She HAD to make them proud; but a very small part of her was exhausted. She felt as though everyone wanted her to be someone else - to BE Firestar, Bramblestar, and Squilf. So when Bramblestar names her Sparkfire, she snaps, breaking down to Alderheart.
"I can't do it!" she cried. "Everyone wants me to be someone else, and I just want to be allowed to mess up, to not be perfect!"
Alderheart hugged her close to him. "Why can't you tell Dad you'd rather have a different name? One that you choose? Have you even told him you feel this pressured?"
Sparkfire sniffed, wiping her eyes. "No... I don't want to let anyone down..."
Alderheart raised her chin so their eyes met. "You're the one who convinced me being a medicine cat was the right thing. You helped me realize that not being a warrior wasn't letting anyone down, and now you're saying that because you don't want to be another cat... that you're worried you'll let them down?" He cuffed her over the ear with affection. "You must have bees in your brain."
Sparkfire smiled shakily. "Thank you, Alderheart." She sighed, letting herself breathe deeply to clear her head. "What about Sparkpelt?"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Like I said above, I always thought the idea of Sparkpelt had so much potential. I mean, Graystripe (I think?) even says at her warrior ceremony that her name should have been Sparkfire. Just... place yourself in her paws. Your grandpa, who you never met, is FIRESTAR, a leader who saved the Clans time and time again, a leader and deputy are your parents... wouldn't you also feel pressured? To be just as great as them?
This meme has been an idea for so long for me and I'm so happy I got to finally make it.
(Also, I stopped reading after AVoS, so while I know what happens... this takes place kinda right after her warrior ceremony)
But yeah! Please let me know what you think! I love these two siblings so much.

This is such an interesting take on Sparkpelt!! I love how the pressure she feels makes her feel like she needs to conform to who people expect her to live up to.

Ahhh!! Thank you so much ❤️

Although, she later places the pressure on her kit, so I think in that case it would be like, "I had to be great so you have to be too"

It's pretty common for people with struggles like that to rationalize it as just the way things are.
