Breed: Manx

Personal

Mother: Daisytail (deceased)
Father: Paleclaw (status unknown)
Sister: Honeywhisker (status unknown)
Mate: N/A

Personality:

Positive:

{Capable}: He may not always be the most pleasant cat to talk to, but he's good at what he does. He took his medicine cat training seriously and puts all his energy into it to ensure his clanmates are healthy.

{Reliable/Trustworthy}: Maplethorn's knowledge and abilities are consistent, giving no doubt that he knows what he's doing.

{Sensitive}: Despite his cold demeanor and piss-poor attitude, Maplethorn truly cares about the cats in his care. He's attentive to any signs of ailment and pays close attention to his patients, and is surprisingly sensitive to their needs.

Negative:

{Sarcastic}: His past has made him a bit of a cynic, and he can't help put sneak in the occasional sarcastic remark.

{Impatient}: Though he can stay by a patient's side for as long as necessary, Maplethorn has little patience for idiots and other cats who don't listen.

{Genuine/Blunt}: Not afraid to speak his opinion, Maplethorn is brutally honest and tells it how it is. This tends to upset others, but he believes it would be better to be told the harsh truth than be lied to. On the other hand, because he feels lying is beneath him, others may be drawn to him for straight, honest advice because he tells it how it is.

History:

Maplekit was born in a small litter of two, with his little sister, Honeykit. They grew up in a clan far away in a different forest, where they were raised traditionally, to become warriors. As an apprentice, despite his bulky size, Maplepaw had both his strengths and weaknesses; though he could hold his own during his training to fight, he tended to come up short on the hunting end. No matter how hard he practiced, the apprentice just didn't have the knack for it; prey would spook from his heavy steps or zip just past his paws. All in all, it was never an activity he enjoyed.

His sister on the other hand, was a complete natural, and wound up gaining her warrior title of Honeywhisker early, before all the other apprentices, Maplepaw included. Though he was proud of his little sister, the tom couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy as well. Soon, his performance in fighting took a downturn as he lost confidence in his own abilities. After a moon of little progress, Maplepaw began to give up on even the possibility of him becoming a warrior...it just didn't seem like he was meant to. It seemed to him that all that talent had been given to his sister and skipped right over himself.

Just as his outlook worsened and his enthusiasm for training with his mentor withered, the young apprentice had a dream. When he awoke, Maplepaw didn't know what to think of it and was hesitant to tell anyone else. But after having it every night for a week, the tom tentatively came to the conclusion that there must've been some sort of meaning behind it, perhaps given to him by Starclan itself. In the course of the dream, a withered, dying vine, desperately trying to cling to life in the dark underbrush, branches out into the moonlight and suddenly begins to grow. By chance, Maplepaw stumbled upon the clan's medicine cat in the forest one day, who was out gathering herbs. More to get his mind off another failed hunting trip than anything, Maplepaw offered to help the elderly cat and found that, to his surprise, he actually thoroughly enjoyed learning about the different herbs and berries and other supplies the medicine cat needed, and soon felt his enthusiasm returning. Instead of meeting with his own mentor, Maplepaw began hanging around the medicine cat's den more and more, eager to help and learn about the cat's duties.

Finally, though it was soon becoming clear where his talent really lied, Maplepaw told the medicine cat about his dream, thinking, perhaps, that she could decipher it. Having no apprentice of her own, she decided that the dream was indeed a sign, and Maplepaw soon became the apprentice she lacked and eventually gained the name of Maplethorn.

After his mentor died, Maplethorn became the clan's full medicine cat. But as the moons wore on, a general unrest spread throughout the clans of the forest, rumors of disaster or war crippling the confidence of many of the warriors. Some cats insisted that they should strike the other clans while they could, while others were so terrified they wanted to leave the forest entirely. The only thing for sure was the clan was broken up and irrational, getting to a point where they no longer obeyed or even respected their leader. Waiting for a sign from Starclan for some guidance, Maplethorn was caught in the middle as half the clan deserted, his father included. Despite their numbers shrinking, he wished to stay loyal to his leader, who, meanwhile, was becoming increasingly desperate in his need to prove himself capable of leading the declining group. Maplethorn tried to talk him out of it, but the leader soon left with the rest of his warriors to attack a nearby clan, paying the medicine cat no heed. Regrettably, his sister Honeywhisker was part of the party, confident in the abilities she was renowned for.

After waiting for many sunrises, it became clear the attacking party would not return, leaving the tom unsure of what to do. Eventually, he was left with no other choice but to leave, wandering out of the forest and soon stumbling upon a band of roving cats, led by Phoenixflight and Fallenash. He joined them, glad to be in a group again, and offered to be the medicine cat of Swiftclan, once both toms claimed themselves leaders of the two new clans.
