➸ B E H A V I O R S

Personality Desc. - Goldenbee will not take crap from anyone. Don't sass her, don't disrespect her, don't disobey her. She is not afraid of your rank, your talons, or your spit. She's highly intelligent and not afraid to say what she knows or thinks, very blunt and forward to the point of being rude, but you better respect her because she's VERY good at what she does. Not exactly the friendliest cat, she's really only open to those she's known for many moons, although her closer friends (Treetail) can tell you that if you get past the stinger, Bee is actually a very warm and loving cat. She's protective of her work, her herbs, and those she considers part of her circle, and her loyalty to her clan rivals that of Thunder-roar. However, she will not hesitate to oppose the Clan's actions if she feels there is a better course to take.
Goldenbee is a vast proponent of equal respect. Certainly the leader, deputy, and medicine cat (and medicine cat apprentice) deserve a higher amount, even from warriors but also that APPRENTICES SHOULD BE RESPECTED by warriors. A Clan is nothing if there is not respect. She also has proved herself to be quite the warrior, receiving training from her parents and brother, not wanting to be defenseless. She fights in an analytical way that shows her knowledge of how exactly to shred her opponent in the most intelligent and painful way possible. She's very efficient in combat and in diplomacy, and a true asset to the Clans.

Positive Traits - intelligent, cunning, resourceful, loyal
Neutral Traits - blunt, strict, ambitious, firm
Negative Traits - curt, impatient, judgmental

Strength - intelligence, also has fairly good defense due to her stocky build (it's very hard to knock her down and keep her down)
Weakness - short legs mean she's not very good at speed in the least, her strength is also fairly weak
Fear [optional] - dying alone (she knows she's going to die someday, but to die alone, without someone near her, that terrifies her, but she keeps this locked away)
Likes - honey (big ol' sweet tooth), kits, being obeyed, stating her opinion (even if it's not wanted)
Dislikes - disrespect, disobedience, overreactions (either positive or negative), ANYONE WHO MESSES UP THE HERB ORGANIZATION

➸ B A C K S T O R Y

Kithood
When Goldenkit was born, she was named for her parents' golden eyes that they were sure would pass onto her, and the warm gold of her pelt which has faded slightly over time. She had one brother, Ratkit, named for his dark brown coat and thin tail (which would prove to fluff up over time), and a sister, Fuzzkit (named for the excessive amount of fluff she had). The three of them got along fairly well in the nursery. Fuzzkit would always be clambering for the exit, determined to rush out and prove herself, often stepping on her siblings in the process. Ratkit was much more laid back, and he and Goldenkit would watch in amusement as Fuzzkit wore herself out rushing around. From an early age, Goldenkit showed little interest in the life of a warrior, instead perking up whenever a new scent would waft across her nose. She became very adept at discerning scents and would play games where her siblings would bring her items and she would have to blindly identify them. This talent made up for her lack of true physical abilities, as her repertoire of scents and flavors grew.

Apprenticeship
By the time Ratkit and Fuzzkit became Ratpaw and Fuzzpaw, apprenticed to warriors of the clan, Goldenkit was making her own apprentice journey towards the medicine cat den. Doetrail, the medicine cat at the time, was a sweet she-cat who recognized Goldenkit's talents and recruited her. Soon, the apprentice was able to tell all the herbs apart, luckily just in time to help with the outbreak of a horrible bout of greencough. Working alongside her mentor, she was able to learn quickly how to treat and speak with the cats in a way that got them to obey her, and it became her goal to save as many as possible. It was intriguing to her how many cats respected her just for being different, for having a different set of skills, and she found she had a great power over them. Now she may have never manipulated them deviously, but she may have made sure to get the best prey for her siblings and herself, and to always be sure she got the softest moss for her nest. In order to compensate for being 'soft' compared to the warriors she let her tongue fly, and her curt nature earned her even more respect. Here was a cat unafraid to banter with the leader until they took their herbs!

Late in her apprenticeship her sister Fuzzpaw died from illness. Distraught she hadn't been able to save the boisterous young apprentice, Goldenpaw threw herself into her work even more, her parents soon moving to retire. Ratpaw and another warrior's apprentice Treepaw were the only ones she retained a connection with among her peers. Her parents waited to watch her take the mantle of medicine cat fully before retreating to the elder's den.

Medicine Cat
Serving the Clan as Goldenbee, named for her sharp tongue and busy paws, the new medicine cat watched her mentor slowly age, until she passed in her sleep with loved ones at her side. Being the sole medicine cat, Goldenbee delivered kits, helped the Clan through sickness, and watched her brother become a strong warrior. Her close friend Treepaw, now Treetail, was starting a new chapter of her life as well. She stopped taking backtalk from anyone and became a firm and efficient medicine cat who worked to keep her clan healthy and strong. Taking on an apprentice herself, she raised him to be the next medicine cat as she got on in her years, and watched with mild pride as he became known as Half-echo to the clan. She figured he was a decent replacement for her own talents, and stayed on for a few moons to be sure he settled in before recognizing it was time to retire alongside her brother Ratstrike. The two of them set off for the elders' den at the same time.

Elder
With Treetail, Ratstrike, and Goldenbee in its depths, the elders' den was full of age-old stories. Talk of deceased parents and old adventures warmed them all despite the changing seasons. However, Ratstrike soon passed on from a heart murmur, with his sister at his side. She enjoyed just watching Treetail's son grow up, watching kits she had delivered rise in the clan, glad she had served for a short time beneath Owlstar before retiring. And yet, the news eventually reached her that Half-echo's apprentice Juniperpaw had gone missing. Not thinking too much of it, she watched him take on Pallidpaw as an apprentice. But things became problematic when Half-echo himself passed...leaving an apprentice with no mentor. Watching the she-cat struggle to care for the Clan stirred something inside the elder, and she discussed plans quietly with Treetail before leaving the elders' den and re-entering the world that had shaped her life.

Back to Medicine Cat
Gray around the muzzle and a bit saggy in the gut, Goldenbee re-entered the clan hierarchy as Medicine Cat, taking up where Half-Echo left off, taking Pallidpaw in and entering into the discussion of what to do about the tension and darkness that seemed to be hanging over the forest...(to be continued as roleplays progress)

-became mentor to Pallidpaw
-went to (November) Medicine Cat Gathering and met Sloepaw
-took cats out herb gathering to the ArchClan border where she got to see Stormchaser again and check in on her; she knew Storm's mentor and thus knew Storm when she was young
-was out gathering herbs with Littlepaw and met Sloepaw again when the fox attack happened, returned to camp to tend to Owlstar and Pallidpaw
-attended Gathering (November) and found out that Sloepaw's mentor was missing, discussed it with Moonstar and Owlstar and became the temporary DuskClan medicine cat as well as temporary mentor to Sloepaw, as well as keeping her duties to MossClan
-DuskClan's deputy Lilyfeather went into labor and Bee helped get her back to camp, then helped deliver her kits with Sloepaw's assistance
-Bee now is going back and forth between MossClan and DuskClan and trains both Sloepaw and Pallidpaw, she is wary of this talk of shadows but has yet to learn enough about what has happened to pass judgment on anything important
-journeyed to Moon Tunnel (December) and received the prophecy "From a land of toxic, the shadows will find their way to your Clan."
-passed on this message to Owlstar and tried to decipher it
-Mothpaw vanished to ArchClan and returned sicker than before, with Pallidpaw's help she started tending to him
-argued with Quietclaw about how she spoke to Mothpaw, wonders why he's so invested in an apprentice he doesn't know
-Wrenface came down with greencough
-had Pallidpaw attend the Gathering in her stead (December)
-discussed the shadows with Owlstar and said she could not pass judgment as she did not have enough information
-intervened in an argument with Mothpaw, Fallencloud, and Sycamore frost // was told she wouldn't know anything about being a warrior due to being a medicine cat by Sycamorefrost who smirked at her // certainly doesn't put him or Fallencloud in her good graces but she's willing to give a second chance // however they were disrespectful to her and to Mothpaw who was disrespectful to them so she will certainly be reporting them all to Owlstar after the discussion with the shadows
-went to the battle as a 'just in case' procedure // fought off a shadow by choking them, biting off their cheek and tearing their tongue to ribbons // got Brookwhisper of DuskClan off the battlefield // got Snowpaw of ArchClan off the battlefield // got Shrewpaw of ArchClan off the battlefield // helped heal the cats and kept an eye on Lightpaw, Pallidpaw, and Sloepaw as they provided assistance as well

-Moss Clan-

// // Owlstar : "I remember delivering her and watching her grow, what a strong young she-cat, if she could only see it herself. The loss of her kits was a true tragedy, but at least she took in that hairless wonder. She can be a little too soft, if you ask me. And a little too disorganized, but otherwise a strong and true leader."
NOV 30th: "She lost a life to the fox that was roaming around and harmed Pallidpaw...but she did manage to kill it. I wish she would be more careful. In battle and in conversation, there was no need for her to announce the fact she'd lost a life at the Gathering! Regardless, she did allow me to take over Sloepaw's training and travel between DuskClan and MossClan, so that is kind of her. I will not let her down, and will teach both apprentices."
JAN 2nd: "She fought valiantly, despite having her leg injured badly by Tempest, and I was proud to follow her into battle...even if I am no longer sure if our decision was right. Perhaps allowing more negotiations would have resulted in a different outcome, and yet...I trust Owlstar. I am glad that she didn't lose another life, and to see her in action was inspiring."

// // Thunder-roar : "Ah yes, my friend Treetail's son. What a miraculous birth, and what a...special young tom. He has come very far, and we are both proud of him. Although I wish that he would not blow so much into such great noises."
NOV 30th: "For some reason I am concerned for him...he seems a bit out of it, and coming back to all that chaos was surely hard for him. I've not seen him so terrified in many moons."

// // // Treetail: "My dearest friend and fellow elder. I grew up alongside her and helped her deliver little Thunderkit. Now she better be keeping my nest there warm, I'm not staying in this medicine cat den forever!"

// // // // Pallidpaw : "My new apprentice I suppose. Hopefully she won't disappoint me."
NOV 30th: "What was she doing out on her own? I should have been with her, or she should have known better and grabbed someone to accompany her! Coming back into camp on Owlstar's back, bleeding from a fox-wound...I knew she wouldn't leave me just yet, but StarClan, I was still worried. I'll have to keep a closer eye on her in the future. She's strong, and strong-willed...I'll also be keeping an eye on her interest in Mothpaw..."
DEC 18th: "She has done a wonderful job in caring for the Clan although I wish she would take just as much time in caring for herself...I have no doubt her wound will leave scars and I can only hope that she is able to look upon them as a moment of courage and recovery rather than a moment of darkness. Such an intelligent young cat, I cannot wait to see how she blossoms."
JAN 2nd: "She did splendidly at the Gathering and in the battle. I was worried for her life, she always just whisks about caring for others with little to no thought of self-preservation, and I often fear for her safety. But she has grown so much, and soon she will be a full-fledged medicine cat. She will take over entirely what is left of MossClan, and cats will not need to deal with me any longer. I feel there are many who would rejoice over that. Regardless, I have trained her well and she did splendidly. She will be a wonderful medicine cat, and I do so look forward to cheering her new name when she gains it. May she always be aware of her importance to the Clan. And to me."

// Hushedstep : "Thunder-roar's half brother, he would always come to my den with a 'thorn' to be taken care of. Although I think the actual thorn in his side was his half-brother, aha. He's grown into a warrior now, I wonder what can be expected of him."
DEC 18th: "Still hiding out in the medicine den I see. His company isn't minded, although I am irked slightly when he decides to play with my herbs!"

// Newtpaw : "Another apprentice of MossClan, they seem to be a hard worker. After all, they must be skilled to be chosen as part of the group that went to the Gathering. And they also seem to know little 'wonder'...I am interested to get to know more of them."

// Littlepaw : "They helped me gather herbs, and show great potential to be a warrior. As Thunder-roar's apprentice I have no doubt they will be coached well, although I did warn him not to completely idolize his mentor. He certainly deserved to attend the Gathering, and showed great composure and attentiveness on our errand and during the Gathering. I look forward to getting to know him better."

// // // // (helped raise him) Mothpaw : "I helped with his birth, his mother was terrified the whole time. I'd never seen cats of this...kind...before. A little 'wonder' for sure, Owlstar did a good job taking him in and raising him. Well, we all came together to help. Still, he's as stubborn as his adoptive mother. He's grown a lot, but he's still so isolated. I wonder if Pallidpaw's attachment to him will help coax him out of his shell...he always looks at cats as facts to be deciphered...well, save for one...but that was but a fleeting look, I could have been mistaken."
JAN 2nd: "He is such a stubborn, thick-headed fool. Surely he has good ideas, but he doesn't need to say them in such curt ways. Honestly I'd like to box his ears and give him a busy enough day when he starts to recover, that he doesn't have TIME to be snarky. Still, he is growing. I suppose that this is just part of his journey."

// Wrenface : "What can I say? She's a cat in the clan. I have no real connection to her. Seems to think awfully high of herself though."
JAN 2nd: "She's ill with greencough. I'm doing all I can, and I promised her that she would end up all right. I will NOT let her die on my watch. She may be a handful, but she's rather enjoyable to watch and be around."

Redstream : "Another warrior in our Clan. Don't know him too well and don't appreciate his teasing comments about our apprentices. Regardless, he helped Wrenface and I know he means well. Hopefully will get to know more about him at some point."

// Quietclaw : "Full of his own opinions, this one. Will be interesting to see if he truly does pursue Mothpaw, and perhaps even more interesting in how that little wonder reacts."

Fallencloud : "A blood-driven tom. Really, he makes me feel uneasy. But Pallidpaw seems to have...attempted to befriend him. I can respect that. And perhaps he will prove me wrong. Regardless, he is not someone I see myself ever growing buddy-buddy with."

Sycamorefrost : "He disrespected apprentices AND myself as a medicine cat. I lost my temper with him, Fallencloud, and Mothpaw, and lost it again later. He is not solely to blame, I am as well. While he is hotheaded and confrontational and judgmental, so am I. I recognize these faults. Giving him prey and an apology, I hope it may mark a new start."

Magpiepaw : "An interesting apprentice. I helped deliver him into this world, now I wonder how he will choose to navigate it."

-Dusk Clan-

// // // Sloepaw : "I met them at the medicine cat gathering and they were without their mentor. A brave and calm cat to come on their own, I was suitably impressed. Meeting them again while gathering herbs, I found that their mentor still wasn't active. Perhaps this was when my concern for them piqued. After all, without a mentor there is only so much an apprentice can earn. At the Gathering Moonstar announced Tidewhisper had been missing for some time and I took action, stepping in as Sloepaw's new temporary mentor. Perhaps I have just gone soft in my old age...but I do want them to be trained properly."
DEC 18: "I am very proud of them for holding their own in Lilyfeather's kitting and in finding the Moon Tunnel on their own this time. They've made great strides and I am honored to be able to assist them on their journey."

Moonstar : "The leader of DuskClan is elusive and hardly ever fully present. It seems to me she has stopped truly caring about the happenings in her Clan, and her pride nearly had her refuse my assistance. Regardless, she consented, and I am here for both DuskClan and MossClan now."
JAN 2nd: "She betrayed the Clans and got what was coming to her. StarClan evidently never trusted her with nine lives. And for good reason. Still surprised Ant-tail was the one to kill her though."

Lilystar : "This completely irresponsible furbrain. Did she grow up in the Clan or not!? Any female knows by this age, especially one who's pregnant, that they should take caution with their kits. But apparently her pride as deputy was enough to have her endanger her kits! Despicable. Regardless, she IS deputy, so as long as she shapes up I suppose I'll give her a chance."
JAN 2nd: "The new leader of DuskClan. We still have our differences and neither Owlstar nor I fully trust her, but I know that she'll do all she can to protect her kits, and I hope that that seeps out to the rest of the Clan."

Ant-tail : "What...even. Well at least he follows orders."
JAN 2nd: "He fought very well, I was surprised at the ferocity he has in combat. I believe he has a good heart and good intentions and will serve his clan well."

Robinpaw : "She's someone who knows Lilyfeather, that's for sure. Helpful and good at following orders but also at taking charge. Seemed to be of even more help than Ant-tail or that other apprentice."

Batpaw : "Loud, obnoxious, but seems to be at least marginally obedient. Especially when sent with Robinpaw places."

// Fogfall : "Used to be a part of MossClan, not sure why he decided to change, but perhaps it has something to do with an event he doesn't care to share. It's not my business as long as he doesn't pose a threat. I know he and Hushedstep were close, and I hope that he has found a happier existence here in DuskClan than he could achieve back in MossClan."

-Arch Clan-

// // Stormchaser : "I knew Hawkblaze at Gatherings, he was a good cat, and this little one he rescued has grown to a fine warrior, to the _deputy_ of ArchClan. I'm so proud of her. And I'm happy for her too, to be able to finally be mates with that tom Wolfstar she's been fawning over for so long~I worry about her and all the trouble her Clan seems to be getting into...I hope that Heathersong takes good care of her, and that Stormchaser will get a clue and actually REST. The lovable furball..."

// Wolfstar : "He's a good, strong, responsible leader and tom. I trust him to take care of Stormchaser and to make wise decisions...although it seems one of his warriors is out of line. Hopefully he can remedy this. And the tensions between his clan and CreekClan."

Chickadeeflight : "I met her ever so briefly when she was out with Wolfstar. Can't say I'm too fond of her snippy body language and lack of interest in obeying her leader."

Heathersong : "The ArchClan medicine cat. I'm not particularly close to her, and she seems to be a bit out of it all. Regardless, as long as she takes care of her Clan then she's good in my book."

Dawnpaw : "Heathersong's apprentice. I met him at the medicine cat gathering. Seems to be eager to learn."

-Creek Clan-

// // Weaseltuft : "This furball and I are friends, I suppose. He's a good cat with a dry sense of humor and an intriguing dialect. I rather enjoy speaking to him, even if he is many moons my younger. He's a good servant to his Clan without losing himself in the process."

Lightpaw : "Weaseltuft's apprentice. We met at the medicine cat gathering and they were at the full Gathering as well I believe. I hope they take the time to learn much from him."

➸ R O L E P L A Y S A M P L E

Tumbleflame could feel her comforting scent wash over him, musing back on how it had become such a sanctuary for him. When she was just a kit he had become enamored with her instantly, wanting to do all he could to keep her smiling, her charms and wit winning him to her side in arguments against her brothers. She had always been one of the ones asking after being his apprentice, and in those moments he was ready to hand it over to her, had it been up to him. But he contented himself with being the apprentice, the cool 'older brother' figure, the friend who would let her pounce on him and practice her fighting moves every chance he could. Perhaps it was just because she was one of Mintstreak's kits, one that Dreampaw had helped bring into the world...but he had felt so close to that litter...and now...well, scarce few were left. It weighed his heart down until he felt her gently rub her cheek against his, drawing him back to the happier thoughts. She always seemed able to do that, to carry him through his darknesses, lighting the way back to the present, to the future even.

Personality Desc. - Goldenbee will not take crap from anyone. Don't sass her, don't disrespect her, don't disobey her. She is not afraid of your rank, your talons, or your spit. She's highly intelligent and not afraid to say what she knows or thinks, very blunt and forward to the point of being rude, but you better respect her because she's VERY good at what she does. Not exactly the friendliest cat, she's really only open to those she's known for many moons, although her closer friends (Treetail) can tell you that if you get past the stinger, Bee is actually a very warm and loving cat. She's protective of her work, her herbs, and those she considers part of her circle, and her loyalty to her clan rivals that of Thunder-roar. However, she will not hesitate to oppose the Clan's actions if she feels there is a better course to take.
Goldenbee is a vast proponent of equal respect. Certainly the leader, deputy, and medicine cat (and medicine cat apprentice) deserve a higher amount, even from warriors but also that APPRENTICES SHOULD BE RESPECTED by warriors. A Clan is nothing if there is not respect. She also has proved herself to be quite the warrior, receiving training from her parents and brother, not wanting to be defenseless. She fights in an analytical way that shows her knowledge of how exactly to shred her opponent in the most intelligent and painful way possible. She's very efficient in combat and in diplomacy, and a true asset to the Clans.

Positive Traits - intelligent, cunning, resourceful, loyal
Neutral Traits - blunt, strict, ambitious, firm
Negative Traits - curt, impatient, judgmental

Strength - intelligence, also has fairly good defense due to her stocky build (it's very hard to knock her down and keep her down)
Weakness - short legs mean she's not very good at speed in the least, her strength is also fairly weak
Fear [optional] - dying alone (she knows she's going to die someday, but to die alone, without someone near her, that terrifies her, but she keeps this locked away)
Likes - honey (big ol' sweet tooth), kits, being obeyed, stating her opinion (even if it's not wanted)

➸ B A C K S T O R Y

Kithood
When Goldenkit was born, she was named for her parents' golden eyes that they were sure would pass onto her, and the warm gold of her pelt which has faded slightly over time. She had one brother, Ratkit, named for his dark brown coat and thin tail (which would prove to fluff up over time), and a sister, Fuzzkit (named for the excessive amount of fluff she had). The three of them got along fairly well in the nursery. Fuzzkit would always be clambering for the exit, determined to rush out and prove herself, often stepping on her siblings in the process. Ratkit was much more laid back, and he and Goldenkit would watch in amusement as Fuzzkit wore herself out rushing around. From an early age, Goldenkit showed little interest in the life of a warrior, instead perking up whenever a new scent would waft across her nose. She became very adept at discerning scents and would play games where her siblings would bring her items and she would have to blindly identify them. This talent made up for her lack of true physical abilities, as her repertoire of scents and flavors grew.

Apprenticeship
By the time Ratkit and Fuzzkit became Ratpaw and Fuzzpaw, apprenticed to warriors of the clan, Goldenkit was making her own apprentice journey towards the medicine cat den. Doetrail, the medicine cat at the time, was a sweet she-cat who recognized Goldenkit's talents and recruited her. Soon, the apprentice was able to tell all the herbs apart, luckily just in time to help with the outbreak of a horrible bout of greencough. Working alongside her mentor, she was able to learn quickly how to treat and speak with the cats in a way that got them to obey her, and it became her goal to save as many as possible. It was intriguing to her how many cats respected her just for being different, for having a different set of skills, and she found she had a great power over them. Now she may have never manipulated them deviously, but she may have made sure to get the best prey for her siblings and herself, and to always be sure she got the softest moss for her nest. In order to compensate for being 'soft' compared to the warriors she let her tongue fly, and her curt nature earned her even more respect. Here was a cat unafraid to banter with the leader until they took their herbs!

Late in her apprenticeship her sister Fuzzpaw died from illness. Distraught she hadn't been able to save the boisterous young apprentice, Goldenpaw threw herself into her work even more, her parents soon moving to retire. Ratpaw and another warrior's apprentice Treepaw were the only ones she retained a connection with among her peers. Her parents waited to watch her take the mantle of medicine cat fully before retreating to the elder's den.

Medicine Cat
Serving the Clan as Goldenbee, named for her sharp tongue and busy paws, the new medicine cat watched her mentor slowly age, until she passed in her sleep with loved ones at her side. Being the sole medicine cat, Goldenbee delivered kits, helped the Clan through sickness, and watched her brother become a strong warrior. Her close friend Treepaw, now Treetail, was starting a new chapter of her life as well. She stopped taking backtalk from anyone and became a firm and efficient medicine cat who worked to keep her clan healthy and strong. Taking on an apprentice herself, she raised him to be the next medicine cat as she got on in her years, and watched with mild pride as he became known as Half-echo to the clan. She figured he was a decent replacement for her own talents, and stayed on for a few moons to be sure he settled in before recognizing it was time to retire alongside her brother Ratstrike. The two of them set off for the elders' den at the same time.

Elder
With Treetail, Ratstrike, and Goldenbee in its depths, the elders' den was full of age-old stories. Talk of deceased parents and old adventures warmed them all despite the changing seasons. However, Ratstrike soon passed on from a heart murmur, with his sister at his side. She enjoyed just watching Treetail's son grow up, watching kits she had delivered rise in the clan, glad she had served for a short time beneath Owlstar before retiring. And yet, the news eventually reached her that Half-echo's apprentice Juniperpaw had gone missing. Not thinking too much of it, she watched him take on Pallidpaw as an apprentice. But things became problematic when Half-echo himself passed...leaving an apprentice with no mentor. Watching the she-cat struggle to care for the Clan stirred something inside the elder, and she discussed plans quietly with Treetail before leaving the elders' den and re-entering the world that had shaped her life.

Back to Medicine Cat
Gray around the muzzle and a bit saggy in the gut, Goldenbee re-entered the clan hierarchy as Medicine Cat, taking up where Half-Echo left off, taking Pallidpaw in and entering into the discussion of what to do about the tension and darkness that seemed to be hanging over the forest...(to be continued as roleplays progress)

-became mentor to Pallidpaw
-went to (November) Medicine Cat Gathering and met Sloepaw
-took cats out herb gathering to the ArchClan border where she got to see Stormchaser again and check in on her; she knew Storm's mentor and thus knew Storm when she was young
-was out gathering herbs with Littlepaw and met Sloepaw again when the fox attack happened, returned to camp to tend to Owlstar and Pallidpaw
-attended Gathering (November) and found out that Sloepaw's mentor was missing, discussed it with Moonstar and Owlstar and became the temporary DuskClan medicine cat as well as temporary mentor to Sloepaw, as well as keeping her duties to MossClan
-DuskClan's deputy Lilyfeather went into labor and Bee helped get her back to camp, then helped deliver her kits with Sloepaw's assistance
-Bee now is going back and forth between MossClan and DuskClan and trains both Sloepaw and Pallidpaw, she is wary of this talk of shadows but has yet to learn enough about what has happened to pass judgment on anything important
-journeyed to Moon Tunnel (December) and received the prophecy "From a land of toxic, the shadows will find their way to your Clan."
-passed on this message to Owlstar and tried to decipher it
-Mothpaw vanished to ArchClan and returned sicker than before, with Pallidpaw's help she started tending to him
-argued with Quietclaw about how she spoke to Mothpaw, wonders why he's so invested in an apprentice he doesn't know
-Wrenface came down with greencough
-had Pallidpaw attend the Gathering in her stead (December)
-discussed the shadows with Owlstar and said she could not pass judgment as she did not have enough information
-intervened in an argument with Mothpaw, Fallencloud, and Sycamore frost // was told she wouldn't know anything about being a warrior due to being a medicine cat by Sycamorefrost who smirked at her // certainly doesn't put him or Fallencloud in her good graces but she's willing to give a second chance // however they were disrespectful to her and to Mothpaw who was disrespectful to them so she will certainly be reporting them all to Owlstar after the discussion with the shadows
-went to the battle as a 'just in case' procedure // fought off a shadow by choking them, biting off their cheek and tearing their tongue to ribbons // got Brookwhisper of DuskClan off the battlefield // got Snowpaw of ArchClan off the battlefield // got Shrewpaw of ArchClan off the battlefield // helped heal the cats and kept an eye on Lightpaw, Pallidpaw, and Sloepaw as they provided assistance as well

-Moss Clan-

// // Owlstar : "I remember delivering her and watching her grow, what a strong young she-cat, if she could only see it herself. The loss of her kits was a true tragedy, but at least she took in that hairless wonder. She can be a little too soft, if you ask me. And a little too disorganized, but otherwise a strong and true leader."
NOV 30th: "She lost a life to the fox that was roaming around and harmed Pallidpaw...but she did manage to kill it. I wish she would be more careful. In battle and in conversation, there was no need for her to announce the fact she'd lost a life at the Gathering! Regardless, she did allow me to take over Sloepaw's training and travel between DuskClan and MossClan, so that is kind of her. I will not let her down, and will teach both apprentices."
JAN 2nd: "She fought valiantly, despite having her leg injured badly by Tempest, and I was proud to follow her into battle...even if I am no longer sure if our decision was right. Perhaps allowing more negotiations would have resulted in a different outcome, and yet...I trust Owlstar. I am glad that she didn't lose another life, and to see her in action was inspiring."

// // Thunder-roar : "Ah yes, my friend Treetail's son. What a miraculous birth, and what a...special young tom. He has come very far, and we are both proud of him. Although I wish that he would not blow so much into such great noises."
NOV 30th: "For some reason I am concerned for him...he seems a bit out of it, and coming back to all that chaos was surely hard for him. I've not seen him so terrified in many moons."

// // // Treetail: "My dearest friend and fellow elder. I grew up alongside her and helped her deliver little Thunderkit. Now she better be keeping my nest there warm, I'm not staying in this medicine cat den forever!"

// // // // Pallidpaw : "My new apprentice I suppose. Hopefully she won't disappoint me."
NOV 30th: "What was she doing out on her own? I should have been with her, or she should have known better and grabbed someone to accompany her! Coming back into camp on Owlstar's back, bleeding from a fox-wound...I knew she wouldn't leave me just yet, but StarClan, I was still worried. I'll have to keep a closer eye on her in the future. She's strong, and strong-willed...I'll also be keeping an eye on her interest in Mothpaw..."
DEC 18th: "She has done a wonderful job in caring for the Clan although I wish she would take just as much time in caring for herself...I have no doubt her wound will leave scars and I can only hope that she is able to look upon them as a moment of courage and recovery rather than a moment of darkness. Such an intelligent young cat, I cannot wait to see how she blossoms."
JAN 2nd: "She did splendidly at the Gathering and in the battle. I was worried for her life, she always just whisks about caring for others with little to no thought of self-preservation, and I often fear for her safety. But she has grown so much, and soon she will be a full-fledged medicine cat. She will take over entirely what is left of MossClan, and cats will not need to deal with me any longer. I feel there are many who would rejoice over that. Regardless, I have trained her well and she did splendidly. She will be a wonderful medicine cat, and I do so look forward to cheering her new name when she gains it. May she always be aware of her importance to the Clan. And to me."

// Hushedstep : "Thunder-roar's half brother, he would always come to my den with a 'thorn' to be taken care of. Although I think the actual thorn in his side was his half-brother, aha. He's grown into a warrior now, I wonder what can be expected of him."
DEC 18th: "Still hiding out in the medicine den I see. His company isn't minded, although I am irked slightly when he decides to play with my herbs!"

// Newtpaw : "Another apprentice of MossClan, they seem to be a hard worker. After all, they must be skilled to be chosen as part of the group that went to the Gathering. And they also seem to know little 'wonder'...I am interested to get to know more of them."

// Littlepaw : "They helped me gather herbs, and show great potential to be a warrior. As Thunder-roar's apprentice I have no doubt they will be coached well, although I did warn him not to completely idolize his mentor. He certainly deserved to attend the Gathering, and showed great composure and attentiveness on our errand and during the Gathering. I look forward to getting to know him better."

// // // // (helped raise him) Mothpaw : "I helped with his birth, his mother was terrified the whole time. I'd never seen cats of this...kind...before. A little 'wonder' for sure, Owlstar did a good job taking him in and raising him. Well, we all came together to help. Still, he's as stubborn as his adoptive mother. He's grown a lot, but he's still so isolated. I wonder if Pallidpaw's attachment to him will help coax him out of his shell...he always looks at cats as facts to be deciphered...well, save for one...but that was but a fleeting look, I could have been mistaken."
JAN 2nd: "He is such a stubborn, thick-headed fool. Surely he has good ideas, but he doesn't need to say them in such curt ways. Honestly I'd like to box his ears and give him a busy enough day when he starts to recover, that he doesn't have TIME to be snarky. Still, he is growing. I suppose that this is just part of his journey."

// Wrenface : "What can I say? She's a cat in the clan. I have no real connection to her. Seems to think awfully high of herself though."
JAN 2nd: "She's ill with greencough. I'm doing all I can, and I promised her that she would end up all right. I will NOT let her die on my watch. She may be a handful, but she's rather enjoyable to watch and be around."

Redstream : "Another warrior in our Clan. Don't know him too well and don't appreciate his teasing comments about our apprentices. Regardless, he helped Wrenface and I know he means well. Hopefully will get to know more about him at some point."

// Quietclaw : "Full of his own opinions, this one. Will be interesting to see if he truly does pursue Mothpaw, and perhaps even more interesting in how that little wonder reacts."

Fallencloud : "A blood-driven tom. Really, he makes me feel uneasy. But Pallidpaw seems to have...attempted to befriend him. I can respect that. And perhaps he will prove me wrong. Regardless, he is not someone I see myself ever growing buddy-buddy with."

Sycamorefrost : "He disrespected apprentices AND myself as a medicine cat. I lost my temper with him, Fallencloud, and Mothpaw, and lost it again later. He is not solely to blame, I am as well. While he is hotheaded and confrontational and judgmental, so am I. I recognize these faults. Giving him prey and an apology, I hope it may mark a new start."

Magpiepaw : "An interesting apprentice. I helped deliver him into this world, now I wonder how he will choose to navigate it."

-Dusk Clan-

// // // Sloepaw : "I met them at the medicine cat gathering and they were without their mentor. A brave and calm cat to come on their own, I was suitably impressed. Meeting them again while gathering herbs, I found that their mentor still wasn't active. Perhaps this was when my concern for them piqued. After all, without a mentor there is only so much an apprentice can earn. At the Gathering Moonstar announced Tidewhisper had been missing for some time and I took action, stepping in as Sloepaw's new temporary mentor. Perhaps I have just gone soft in my old age...but I do want them to be trained properly."
DEC 18: "I am very proud of them for holding their own in Lilyfeather's kitting and in finding the Moon Tunnel on their own this time. They've made great strides and I am honored to be able to assist them on their journey."

Moonstar : "The leader of DuskClan is elusive and hardly ever fully present. It seems to me she has stopped truly caring about the happenings in her Clan, and her pride nearly had her refuse my assistance. Regardless, she consented, and I am here for both DuskClan and MossClan now."
JAN 2nd: "She betrayed the Clans and got what was coming to her. StarClan evidently never trusted her with nine lives. And for good reason. Still surprised Ant-tail was the one to kill her though."

Lilystar : "This completely irresponsible furbrain. Did she grow up in the Clan or not!? Any female knows by this age, especially one who's pregnant, that they should take caution with their kits. But apparently her pride as deputy was enough to have her endanger her kits! Despicable. Regardless, she IS deputy, so as long as she shapes up I suppose I'll give her a chance."
JAN 2nd: "The new leader of DuskClan. We still have our differences and neither Owlstar nor I fully trust her, but I know that she'll do all she can to protect her kits, and I hope that that seeps out to the rest of the Clan."

Ant-tail : "What...even. Well at least he follows orders."
JAN 2nd: "He fought very well, I was surprised at the ferocity he has in combat. I believe he has a good heart and good intentions and will serve his clan well."

Robinpaw : "She's someone who knows Lilyfeather, that's for sure. Helpful and good at following orders but also at taking charge. Seemed to be of even more help than Ant-tail or that other apprentice."

Batpaw : "Loud, obnoxious, but seems to be at least marginally obedient. Especially when sent with Robinpaw places."

// Fogfall : "Used to be a part of MossClan, not sure why he decided to change, but perhaps it has something to do with an event he doesn't care to share. It's not my business as long as he doesn't pose a threat. I know he and Hushedstep were close, and I hope that he has found a happier existence here in DuskClan than he could achieve back in MossClan."

-Arch Clan-

// // Stormchaser : "I knew Hawkblaze at Gatherings, he was a good cat, and this little one he rescued has grown to a fine warrior, to the _deputy_ of ArchClan. I'm so proud of her. And I'm happy for her too, to be able to finally be mates with that tom Wolfstar she's been fawning over for so long~I worry about her and all the trouble her Clan seems to be getting into...I hope that Heathersong takes good care of her, and that Stormchaser will get a clue and actually REST. The lovable furball..."

// Wolfstar : "He's a good, strong, responsible leader and tom. I trust him to take care of Stormchaser and to make wise decisions...although it seems one of his warriors is out of line. Hopefully he can remedy this. And the tensions between his clan and CreekClan."

Chickadeeflight : "I met her ever so briefly when she was out with Wolfstar. Can't say I'm too fond of her snippy body language and lack of interest in obeying her leader."

Heathersong : "The ArchClan medicine cat. I'm not particularly close to her, and she seems to be a bit out of it all. Regardless, as long as she takes care of her Clan then she's good in my book."

Dawnpaw : "Heathersong's apprentice. I met him at the medicine cat gathering. Seems to be eager to learn."

-Creek Clan-

// // Weaseltuft : "This furball and I are friends, I suppose. He's a good cat with a dry sense of humor and an intriguing dialect. I rather enjoy speaking to him, even if he is many moons my younger. He's a good servant to his Clan without losing himself in the process."

Lightpaw : "Weaseltuft's apprentice. We met at the medicine cat gathering and they were at the full Gathering as well I believe. I hope they take the time to learn much from him."

➸ R O L E P L A Y S A M P L E

Tumbleflame could feel her comforting scent wash over him, musing back on how it had become such a sanctuary for him. When she was just a kit he had become enamored with her instantly, wanting to do all he could to keep her smiling, her charms and wit winning him to her side in arguments against her brothers. She had always been one of the ones asking after being his apprentice, and in those moments he was ready to hand it over to her, had it been up to him. But he contented himself with being the apprentice, the cool 'older brother' figure, the friend who would let her pounce on him and practice her fighting moves every chance he could. Perhaps it was just because she was one of Mintstreak's kits, one that Dreampaw had helped bring into the world...but he had felt so close to that litter...and now...well, scarce few were left. It weighed his heart down until he felt her gently rub her cheek against his, drawing him back to the happier thoughts. She always seemed able to do that, to carry him through his darknesses, lighting the way back to the present, to the future even.
