personality. a rather serious tom, x
thunderleap will try to perform any
task to perfection, and if he's
interrupted at any point he'll surely
become stressed. the 'big picture'
may become lost amidst a sea of
unruly details, and it's almost
impossible to reassure him that an
imperfect success is not a failure.
this trend carries over into his
personal life, leaving thunderleap
in an awkward position in over-
analyzing others' words and actions
to a ridiculous degree. all that
being said, thunderleap is largely
gentle and soft-spoken, thinking
his words through carefully to
avoid hurting others and never
staying with any one friend group
longer than any other. it's not
clear how much of this behavior
can be linked to his anxieties.

history. thunderleap was born thunderkit, the sole kit of a senior queen named sunbelly. he began to display signs of his more obsessive tendencies very young, and despite the reassurances of his mother these tendencies did not go away-- in fact, they seemed to worsen the more often they were directly addressed. thunderkit-- soon thunderpaw --started to assess every action before he could make a mistake. during his moons as an apprentice this was especially alienating, as his fellows would often take his hesitation for dishonesty, and thunderpaw was hesitant to form close relationships with any of his peers for fear of ridicule. his nervousness affected his promotion, and thunderpaw was not named as a warrior until his sixteenth moon. now a warrior, thunderleap has managed to cobble together enough confidence to perform his duties but still hesitates to insert himself into pre-existing friend groups, existing on the fringes of splashclan's social circles.

her heart is made of gold but her soul is filled with fire

gender she-cat

age 27 moons

rank warrior


golden, born goldenkit, was a rambunctious kit. often getting into trouble and leading the other kits, and even apprentices, with her. when she became paw, she was no different. she was at the front of all the mischief, causing great annoyance, and laughs. she loved bouncing around in the river, splashing the cats around her and scaring away the fish. but when she was an apprentice, her father, sunstone, was killed during a border patrol. her mother couldn't deal with the grief and let herself fade away in the elders den. her once fun spirited personality changed. she became hard and pained, lashing out at those close to her.

she is a feirce warrior, her loyalty laying with the clan, always. she'd do anything to protect her clanmates and is at the front of every battle. her battle skills are some of the best in riverclan. after her kin passed away she threw herself into her training and could be found practicing battle moves alone. but under the warrior attitude is pain and grief. she does not like getting close to anyone, feeling as if they will too, leave her in the end. she comes as very reserved, and often illtempered, but she is actually just scared to trust once again. alothough she can be quick to anger, it is because she does not know how to communicate in any other way, besides lashing out.

goldenstorm is a beautiful she-cat. with soft long fur, a draping tail, and large ears that seem to move constantly, catching all of the sounds around her. she dutifully cleans her pelt, leaving it pristine and sparkling. she is average size, slim and muscular, able to push an enemy off of her with her back legs.her pelt mostly white with large orange spots, giving her name 'golden'. the most shocking thing about her, though, is her eyes. they are a pale green, like when the son hits the water just right and it takes on the color of the moss underneath. they are reserved, as if a wall stands behind them. but if you look at them long enough you will find a sliver of sadness peeking out from behind that wall.

the crickets are never silent when the night comes

gender tom and she-cat

age 11 moons

rank apprentices



it was a warm greenleaf night when a queen, misttail, began to kit. 'night, for the darkness out. cricket for the bugs chirping." she cooed to her new kits. a seagull cried in the distance as if in agreement with the name.
nightpaw and cricketpaw were a handful. night loved to get into trouble and cricket would follow her brother anywhere. when they became apprentices, the two siblings slowly drifted apart. night just wanted to have fun while cricket was dedicated to her training.
but the two cats were not welcomes as warminly as their queen had hoped. misttail did not name a tom as a mate. the kit's father had been a loner just passing through. mistatil never told her children, or any of the clan for that matter, but suspicions rose anyway. the young cats could hear the whispers and see the looks. it didn't bother night, he was clanborn he told them. cricket on the other hand was more sensitive to it. it is why she threw herself into her training so passionately. she wanted to prove she was worthy of a clan name.

nightpaw is a rambunctious apprentice, he likes to have fun and often avoids his duties in favor of running off an adventure. as a kit and young apprentice he would drag cricketpaw along, but when she no longer followed he'd convince another apprentice to join him. he never really understood why the warriors were so serious, if they just relaxed a little then the clan would be so much more fun. the clan wasn't in any danger so why did everyone act like it was?

cricketpaw was the opposite of her brother. the rumors about her father made her very dedicated to being the best warrior she could be. she was the first apprentice to wake and often the last to go to bed. you will rarely find her napping or playing around. she loves sharing tongues with the elders and hearing their stories of previous generations, knowing one day it will be her all aged and grey, entertaining an eager apprentice.

night is an all black tom with a small dusting of grey on his chest, not even enough to call a spot. he is larger than his sister, his size shows that he will be a very large cat when he is grown. his paws are far too big for his body, making his feet look almost swollen by the contrast. his ears also look to big for his head, giving an overall appearance that he needs to grow into his body. his eyes are a bright amber that hold a curious soul within them.

cricket is much smaller than her brother, having a dainty appearance. she is a soft cream color with dark brown stripes and strangely soft fur, as if she never grew out of her kitten pelt. unlike her brother, her body is much more proportionate, except for her ears, she also had large ears that give her almost a mousey appearance. her eyes are a copy of her brothers, a bright amber-yellow. but hers hold dedication, a deep dedication to prove who she truly is.

────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
name: witherpaw
gender: male
age: 9 moons
rank: med apprentice

apperarance: very pale ginger, almost yellowish tom with green-yellow eyes. he's runty and his fur is slightly patchy from
constantly being ill as a kit. very large ears and long whiskers which both seem to droop a little. his tail has a noticeable bend
in the middle, giving it a strange and crooked look. his coloration and sickly looks are the reason for his name, as the queen
that took him in thought that he looked like the withered fields of grass in leaf-bare.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────


personality: on one hand, witherpaw is sarcastic and defensive, rarely starting conversations or saying anything that isn't a one-word correction or an irritating quip. he seems to constantly be irritable or upset, but mentioning this often only worsens the problem, and he'll probably reply in an unnecessarily harsh or cruel way. on the other hand, confrontation of any sort makes him completely lose his nerve, and he'll retreat from the situation without much of anything getting accomplished, even when he was the one to start it. when he's around multiple cats or a crowd, he nearly loses the ability to speak at all out of worry.
a paradoxical personality of bitterness and cruelty mixed with timidity and insightfulness, most cat's opinions of witherpaw start and end with "kinda weird and mean", and they understandably don't bother to go to him for anything but his medicine cat duties. if a cat isn't one for talking, they might never interact with him at all, as he seems to never want to be in other's company and avoids social situations with all his might. though he attempts not to look it, he's lonely and very insecure, but also afraid of most everyone around him.
despite being a colossal pain to try and talk with, witherpaw is a pretty good medicine cat apprentice. observant of situations, he can pick out differences in symptoms and behavior, as well as fairly easily tell when a cat is feeling ill and trying to hide it. he has a great memory for herbs and has absolutely no reservations about seeing blood or pain, but, as expected, isn't so great at that whole "comforting" thing.
history: he was, presumably, an accident. as a kit, he was found on the outskirts of splashclan territory, a scrawny kitten swollen with worms. he had been left under a rotting stump, and there was no queen in sight. he was taken in out of misguided pity, brought to the clan only because he was expected to die, and nobody expected to do anything more than give him a few poppy seeds to send him out of this world more peacefully.
however, he stubbornly kept clinging to life, leading to a fair amount of confusion on what to do with the moon-old kit. the idea of abandoning him again kept coming up- leaf bare was approaching, and nobody wanted an extra mouth to feed, let alone one that belonged to a sickly rogue kit. finally, one of the senior queens of the nursery, a brown tabby named shellstream, decided to take him in, as her own kit had been stillborn. though this gave him a tenuous place within the clan, he was still surrounded by stigma and not expected to be worth his keep, which was infuriating and confusing to the kit who didn't remember anything but splashclan. the recently-named witherkit never fully recovered from his illness, leading him to look unkempt and be physically weak, but his cunning led him to become the medicine apprentice. shellstream didn't live to see this, dying a moon before his apprenticeship of greencough.
other: wip


- other cats will be a huge black tom with long, fluffy fur named curledclaw and a deaf white kit with blue eyes named ternkit.

╔xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx╗

name: ternkit
(tern after the predominately white bird, kit indicating
her age)
gender: female
age: three moons
rank: kit
kin: dapplefern (mother), starkkit (brother, deceased),
nettlekit (sister, deceased), sealkit (sister, deceased),
unknown rogue (father)

╚xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx╝

appearance: a slender white cat with long, thin legs and a long tail. her muzzle is sharp and longer than normal, and her ears are small and rounded. her eyes are pale blue and unusually narrow, and she has no markings. she is completely deaf.
personality: ternkit is quite the curious individual, and even a bit spoiled due to being the only surviving kit in her litter. always intently watching everything around her, the molly doesn't let her condition get in the way of adventuring, and in fact is one of the nosiest cats in the clan. as nothing really bad has happened to her in her short life (as her siblings died before she was old enough to remember them), the kitten is fearless and bold, which is honestly more of a danger than a help. though she's a very social cat and is friendly and cheerful with most she comes across, she finds most cats a bit hard to sympathize with because of how far removed they seem from her, as she perceives them as often talking down to her or trying to avoid her. she can't understand what separates other cats from her, but knows that it exists, and thus will sometimes break down into fits of frustration when attempting to talk with someone or perceive a conversation. ternkit is unabashedly transparent and honest, only thinking towards the short term.
other: she can make sounds, but they're slurred and hard to recognize as words. to an extent, she can understand what people are saying by pressing her tail to their throat while they're talking to "feel" the exhalation and movements, but she isn't very good at this as of yet.

xxxxxBeeflight is an affable, cheery she-cat. She was born and raised
in WaveClan. As an apprentice she was severely injured by a badger
and so her training was postponed by a few moons while she spent 5
moons in the medicine cat den. While her fellow apprentices became
warriors, she was fighting deadly infection. Eventually, the wounds
became healthy and healed, and she returned to her training. As the
oldest apprentice in the clan, she took it upon herself to look out for
the younger apprentices and keep them in line. She trained - and got
used to being back on her feet - for the next four moons.
xxxxxBeeflight was finally made a warrior at the age of 18 moons, 6
moons after her fellow apprentices. She was welcomed into the ranks of
her Clan's warriors, but still aided the medicine cat when she could, as
she retained the herb knowledge she had gained in the moons she had
lived with them. She has since grown into her role as a warrior, and
while she is not as strong or fast as most of her fellow warriors, she
makes up for this with her selfless and responsible nature, protecting
her Clanmates with her life as well as she is able.

xxxxxStormy, at 5 moons old, was thrown out of her twoleg's den along
with her two smaller littermates, Sky and Crystal. As the largest of the
kits, Stormy took it upon herself to protect and provide for her sisters.
She taught herself how to hunt small prey like mice and finches, and kept
the three of them alive for 2 moons on her own. When leaf-bare came, so
did heavy rains, and the den they were staying in flooded. Crystal and
Stormy managed to escape with their lives, but Sky drowned.
xxxxxAlong with icy rain, leaf-bare brought along a shortage of prey, and
sickness. With no knowledge of medicinal herbs, Stormy could do nothing
as Crystal grew weaker and weaker from a bought of greencough, eventu-
ally losing all strength, and dying. Stormy had no choice but to leave her
dead sister. She realised that there was no chance of surviving on her own,
and went out in search of other wildcats who would be willing to work
together to survive.
xxxxxAs the only remaining cat in her litter, Stormy roamed the wild,
nothingto do but drown in her grief and guilt, and try to survive. Finally, at
10 moons old, she stumbled across a group of cats all living together and
protecting each other. With them, she was trained to fight, swim, and fish.
She still blames herself for the deaths of her sisters all those moons ago,
and remembers them to this day, but with her newfound responsibility,
strong friendships, and loving mate, she is managing to move on.
