Name:
Snowshade
Age:
Twenty moons
Rank:
Medicine Cat
Allegiance:
ThunderClan
Picture:
Appearance:
What would officially be called a classic cinnamon tabby with white, the words most readily called to mind when looking at the stunning she-cat is "warm" and "beautiful." Her pelt is the color of dark honey striped with a seemingly random arranged almost chocolate color that is in perfect compliment to her undercoat. Her belly is a brilliant shade of white, and this color - or rather, lack of color - spreads down to her legs and up to her throat, where it finally culminates in her delicate white muzzle.
Snowshade is quite average in size. Her fur is long, which makes her appear perhaps rather larger than she actually is, but she is not so much larger than others. And whenever her fur is slicked down, it completely destroys the illusion of size. She can't help it if she likes to keep her fur spotless. It's not as though she shows off - no, never that!
Personality:
Snowshade is kind and sweet. To choose a cat from the books to model her after, it must be said that she is practically Spottedleaf reincarnated. Nice and understanding, she makes an ideal medicine cat, always exuding compassion and kindness. It makes her quite a popular figure, one who can as easily set a broken bone as soothe the hurt feelings of a grumpy kit.
But she is extremely defensive of her patients, and will fight like a lion to protect them from anyone, even the Clan leader. Anyone trying to hurt any of her patience will do so over her dead body - but Snowshade isn't such a bad fighter. She doesn't have the mentality of a fighter, in that she doesn't enjoy causing pain and hurting people, but she has the build and the skills of one, as her mentor trained her both in herbs and in more traditional warrior skills.
History:
Born to two ThunderClan cats by the names of Birdfall and Leafdapple, the first few weeks of her life were uneventful. She was born in newleaf, a perfect time for kits, when prey was running high and tempers had cooled from the usual leaf-bare tension. But, for some reason, when she was only two months old, ShadowClan attacked ThunderClan and kidnapped several kits from the nursery. She was among them, the oldest kit to be stolen. She tried to defend herself, but hey... a two moon old kit isn't a whole lot of competition for a full-grown warrior, after all.
But, thankfully, the ThunderClanners pulled together and got their precious kits back within a week, thoroughly trouncing ShadowClan in the process. It didn't take long to heal the kits' small injuries and reinstall them in life as usual, though some of them were scarred for life. Snowshade's littermate, in particular, ran away and joined ShadowClan when she was an apprentice - her time there had deeply impressed her and she appreciated the ShadowClan way of life more than her native ThunderClan.
Snowshade was picked for the medicine cat's apprentice from the very beginning. She was sensitive, kind, and good at talking to others. So she became Forestfire's apprentice and learned her lessons well.
She received her full name at the tender age of twelve moons, due to the finding of catmint in the middle of leafbare. It saved the lives of several cats, her mentor included.
When Forestfire died seven moons later, having been irrevocably weakened by his bout with greencough, Snowshade was ready to take up life as the full medicine cat of ThunderClan. She is willing to admit that there is still plenty that she needs to learn, and she listens to all advice and criticism with an open mind, but she is sure of her ability to protect her Clan to the best of her ability.
