Cats of ThunderClan: Spottedleaf

Coming here to say that no, I never changed her design because frankly I'm really proud of my Spottedleaf. ANYWAY;

---

Name: Spottedleaf, Spottedtalon

Identity: Cisgender Female - She/Her

Orientation: Asexual - Panromantic

Rank: Medic - Healer

Former Rank(s): Guard

A long furred very soft pelted primarily black calico molly. She has a white chest plume and brilliant leaf green eyes paired with a soft and teasing smile. Her paws are small and gentle with a gray nose and gray paw pads. Her whiskers are long and plumey- it was often joked that it was a sign from the Souls that she was to be Featherwhisker’s apprentice.

Spottedpaw never knew what to do with herself when she was young. While her brothers were sure of what they wanted to be, Spottedpaw just went along with whatever anyone asked of her.

Spottedpaw was first apprenticed to Fuzzywhisker as a Guard Apprentice to everyone’s shock, she was quite good at it. No matter how complex, how specific or physically demanding the skill, Spottedpaw picked up the skill with relative ease. Her mentor boasted about her prowess semi-isolating her from her brothers who felt pressured to work harder to measure up to her seemingly endless potential.

Eventually was made a warrior, Spottedtalon a full moon before her brothers after an intense battle with RiverClan that saw the death of her mentor, Fuzzywhisker. Spottedtalon’s shoulder would got infected and she spent her first moon as a warrior in the medic’s den under Featherwhisker’s care. For the first time since she’d left the nursery, Spottedtalon found herself intrigued and interested in a subject. She struggled to remember herbs, their uses and how to apply them which made her more excited to learn about them.

On her second day as a fully healed warrior, Spottedtalon asked to be Featherwhisker’s apprentice. He happily took her under his wing and she was eventually renamed, “Spottedleaf” at her request.

Though much of the clan lamented about her wasted potential as a Guard, her brothers supported what made her happy.

Spottedleaf is thrilled to have Mistlepaw as an apprentice - she’s smart, clever very empathetic. She’s sure that Mistlepaw will be a truly great healer and medic especially with Fireheart sticking around to assist her and act as a test dummy for poultices and herb combinations.

Recently Spottedleaf has become worried - Tigerclaw’s threats to Fireheart when he stormed away has her anxious. She’s started personally training Mistlepaw in combat and self-defense - far sooner than healers are typically trained in fighting but Spottedleaf firmly believes that she’d rather be safe than sorry.

Cats of ThunderClan: Cinderpaw

Name: Cinderpaw

Other Names: N/A

Meaning: Gray Furred

Age: 18 moons (Book 5 - Ch. 5)

Identity: Cisgender Molly - She/Her

Orientation: Pansexual

Rank: Apprentice - Frozen

Former Rank(s): N/A

A dilute tortie molly with small ears and long legs. Cinderpaw is known to wiggle her ear when she’s excited. She’s the only one of her siblings to inherit the pink nose and pads of her mother and unlike Frostfur, is proud of them. She doesn’t care about her outsider blood.

Cinderpaw is rambunctious and excitable, creatures who know her are aware that she rarely moves at a speed slower than a full-blown sprint. She has a difficult time holding still, often shifting and shuffling even in her sleep. She’s easily distracted and quick to move on when a task bores her to another, exciting one. That said once something does snag her interests he’s very hardworking and goes deaf to the world around her while focused on it. Unfortunately, Cinderpaw’s career as a warrior was derailed when she was violently mauled by an enraged boar on the Deer Trail. Her wounds were so severe, that Cinderpaw fell into a coma for two moons. 

When she finally woke up, she wasn’t out of the woods yet. Cinderpaw’s hind leg was irreparably damaged, having lost all of its muscle mass and it had healed to be permanently somewhat splayed out. Cinderpaws spent several more moons rebuilding the muscle in her body, alternating between sleeping after basic actions and performing her stretches. Over-time she got stronger and stronger though her leg remained twisted. Cinderpaws very nearly asked about re-starting her training when tragedy struck. Her sister and Fireheart’s nephew were brutally mauled by a collection of dogs. The fear the filled her for Brightruin combined with the nightmares and fears she still felt led to her decision to stop her training as a Guard altogether. It was an emotional conversation she had with his Fireheart then with her siblings and finally, her mother but thankfully they were all supportive of what she wanted. Cinderpaws watched with sad pride as Fireheart received Bramblepaw as an apprentice.

After spending a while in the medic’s den, Cinderpaws found herself curious about herbs and treating others. She steadily found herself performing as Mistlefall and Spottedleaf’s assistant - learning to sort herbs and organize the herb den and fetching certain combinations when requested. Though not officially an apprentice quite yet, Cinderpaws is becoming more and more certain of what she wants to be now that being a guard is closed to her.

Cats of ThunderClan: Mistlepaw

Name: Mistlepaw

Meaning: Thriving

Identity: Demigirl - She/Her and They/Them

Rank: Apprentice - Healer

Former Rank(s): N/A

A short furred chocolate tortishelle molly with sharp, yellow eyes and white splotched paws. Her nose and paw pads are gray and she inherited the folded ears of Smallear. Though she likes her ears, Mistlepaw often grumbles about the work that goes into caring for them as Spottedleaf and her mother have wanted her all her life that if they aren’t groomed regularly, she could get an infection.

Mistlepaw’s interest in medicine came about when she first saw her brother get sick. Watching Snowkit mewl and squirm with pain followed by hearing about Brindleface losing her daughter, Tulipkit and being unable to do anything about it while Spottedleaf saved Elderkit’s life spurred an intense curiosity. It didn’t take long for her to start prodding her for answers and herbs.

Mistlepaw is very appreciative of Fireheart’s experience and his help although she’s a bit confused as to why Spottedleaf apparently trained a random warrior to heal. The deeper she gets in her training however, the more she’s begun to understand that sometimes there are things that aren’t to be explained.
