(I always try to keep the genders of my characters even, if not leaning a bit heavier on the male side because I know many prefer to roleplay the females. // Anyway, I've been itching to make my mark here before I leave for school for the day, so I'll just make a post now and see where it takes us. Probably nowhere.)

The young tabby medicine cat stretched her weary muscles as she lay at the foot of her den. The den itself was a small, natural cavern made by curving rocks that traveled upwards. Over time, long lines of vines had grown deeper and deeper inside of it, even though they were near-dying now. The entrance was large; the walls caved upward and sloped back down directly inside. This was where she slept, where her patients - when there were any - slept, and where her future apprentice would sleep. A tunnel of short length ran into the somewhat smaller room where she kept and preserved her herb storage. There were some openings in the rocks here so extra light could shine through in the daytime. Above her own den was the den of her leader Morningstar.
Rushwhisker pawed away some of the growing patches of thistles and briars that lined the floor and walls of her den entrance, then trotted outside with a yawn. She was itching to get out and go running and get some herbs alone, but she knew it would be more sensible and efficient to wait for the morning patrol. And so she did.
On her way toward the camp's exit tunnel, she paused to take a gander at the fresh kill pile. It was stocked up well now, which was a very good and lucky stroke for the clan, seeing as this was the time of year when the prey stock usually deteriorated. Maybe this winter would be a good winter after all. She closed her eyes for a moment and prayed to StarClan that it would be, then carried on. She was hungry, yes, but this was obviously not the time for her to eat. She instead sauntered on over toward the bracken tunnel where a sentry warrior was seated, presumably keeping watch from part of the night before. She placed herself on the other side of it and dipped her head to the other cat curtly.
(Any warrior can hop in as that cat if they want to. It does not have to be anyone, though.)
