[Desi]

Cat's Name: Shinekit || Shinepaw || Shinefeather

Clan: ThunderClan

Age: 8 moons

Gender: She-cat

Rank: Medicine Cat Apprentice

Description: Shinepaw is lithe, but still has a strong sturdy body build, and anyone could tell she is ThunderClan. She is a bit on the small side, but she doesn't mind. As a she-cat it She has beautiful, pure white fur. It is short but thick, that is very helpful during Leaf-fall. She has on of the softest pelt's you would ever feel. It is very smooth, and silky to the touch.

Her eyes deserve a whole paragraph to themselves. They are stunning and unique, and definitely are the most stunning part about her, and that is saying something since she is very beautiful. Her eyes are a metallic gold, the color of a sunset. Bordering the pupil is a light ocean blue, and it fades into a deep green. Somehow it blends into the gold, even though the colors differ greatly. Her eyes are very adored, because it is odd, especially for her pelt color. The usual eye color of a white cat is around blue or green but for the majority of the color to be gold...That is an extreme rarity. She takes extreme pride in this, and loves being unique.

Personality: Shinepaw is a nice, caring, and considerate, a perfect personality for a Medicine Cat. She would always be there to help a cat in need no matter what the situation. It is some-what becuase of this passion she became a Medicine Cat. She has a very unique personality, and she leaves an impression on everyone she meets. She is adventurous and curious, and can sometimes be obnoxious; though she doesn't mean to. She is also talented in putting herself in others place, and trying to relate. Shinepaw is deeply devoted to her clan, and will never let anything get in the way of protecting the one she loves, even if she has to die for it. She is fearless and confident, and she acts as if she isn't afraid of anything. Even if she truly is terrified, she will head on strong with any threat that comes her way. She is a cat of strong faith, in StarClan and other things she belives in. She never gives up easily, at least not without a formiddable fight. Shinepaw is a pacifist, she hates fighting, though she would never stand down from a fight; and although she isn't that proud of it, she is actually a very skilled, and some say its a shame she is a Medicine Cat. It isn't strength though as much that is her skill, but that she is sly and can figure out tactics. But every cat has their flaws. She is not proud at all with any of these and they only come out when she needs them (yes lying is sometimes necessary) or when you are on her bad side. Though it isn't often that she trys or even lets these things overcome her. She has a very powerful spirit.

Family:
Mother: Snowdust -Warrior, Living

Siblings: Featherkit -Kit, Deceased

History: Kit: Shinekit was born to Snowdust, a pretty white she-cat; and Emberthroat, a pale ginger tom; in the ThunderClan nursery, along with her sister Featherkit. For her beautiful shining eyes- and shining personality; her parents named her Shinekit. Her sister, Featherkit, was a pale grey kitten with a calm, easy-going personality. Featherkit and Shinekit got along really well, and were rarely apart. But at their second Leaf-fall, her sister became ill with Green-cough. While her sister was staying in the Medicine Cat den, Shinekit helped out treating Featherkit. But a horrible day came when she watched her beloved sister slip from life before her eyes.

Ever since that day she decided the path she would take. She wanted to be a Medicine Cat, so she could save others so they wouldn't have to end up like Featherkit, and the Shinekit and the other admirers of her sister to less pain.

Apprenticeship: With her new status as Medicine Cat Apprentice, Shinepaw enjoyed learning the scents and looks and uses for herbs. She knew it would take longer then a regular apprentice training, but she knew it was going to be worth it. It was for her sister. She remembered how horrible it felt when she lost Featherkit. She wanted as little as possible for other cats to go through the same pain. She learned quickly, and her strong faith in StarClan assisted her. On her first half moon visit, she was really nervous that StarClan might not deem her worthy of her status. But she was accepted with warmness and an expectant glitter in the StarClanners eyes. And after she left the Moonpool, there was a smile on her face. The one who had greeted her, was her ever loving sister. Featherkit was now a bit older, and healthy looking with glossy grey fur that resembled a waterfall.

She already, even at 8 moons, considered her warrior name. She was going to discuss it with her mentor as soon as she was close to achieving a full Medicine Cat rank. She wanted to be Shinefeather, in memory of her sister. She would walk with pride, having her charming, benevolent sisters name along with hers. She couldn't wait. Till then she treats and learns the best she can.


Roleplay Sample: Shinepaw stretched on the sandy floor of the Medicine den, her bright, white pelt standing out like a fleck of snow on a Thunder Path. She had already completed her herb gathering for the day, and her mentor was gone, so it was most likely she was hunting for some remedial plants too. Shinepaw had actually just got back from her hunt, and she felt proud at her catch. She was aware of that they were a bit short on Marigold, so she picked some of that up, along with some Cobwebs, Borage, but the reason she was impressed with herself- She, with her amazing, trained eyes in nose, she had found -it wasn't much, but it was still an accomplishment- Catnip. She hadn't grabbed all of it, she wanted to have more growing so they could keep stocking up. She couldn't wait until her mentor came back and she could display her amazing discovery. A giant smile was plastered on her face, and her colorful eyes sparkled with pleasure. She was exhausted, but exited. She rolled over and stared at the ceiling of the den.

Eventually she wandered out into the clearing after orginaizing the herbs she collected. Her paws itched to do something useful. She drifted over to the Elders den, and poked her head through the entrance. Walking up to an light brown tabby tom elder, she sat next to him. He looked down at her and smiled. She smiled back with a longing sparkle in her eyes. "Story?" He guessed. Shinepaw's smile widened and her grandfather laughed. "Alright, Alright. How about-"
"Tell me about Spottedleaf, Yellowfang, Cinderpelt, Leafpool- I want to know their stories, Cedarstep."
He nodded in understanding. "Oh Spottedleaf. Hmm. I'm not that old you know; never met her. But they say she was very kind, and that before, the mighty Firestar and her fell in love." Shinepaw's eyes widened, and she indicated to go on. "Now, it wouldn't have mattered if it was not allowed. The dark-hearted ShadowClan attacked, and secretly murdered Spottedleaf." She listened intently and her eyes glittered with dismay. "How cruel! To a Medicine Cat, no less." Nodding, the elder continued. "Everyone was sad and angered. She was a great Medicine Cat."
"I bet." She murmured with wonder. "I wish I could meet them. That would be amazing."
"Ah, but maybe you will."
"You think?"
"You can do anything you wish, Shinepaw."
Smiling, she laid her head down on the tabby's shoulder. "Well I should check the nursery." She shruged. "Do something useful, instead of fantasizing about dead cats." Cedarstep winked at her, and she grinned back at him as she walked out into the clearing once more.
