Autumnpaw Clan of the River's Healing Apprentice

[Tiki]

Name: Autumnpaw
Gender: She-cat
Moons: 6 moons
Rank: Medicine Cat Apprentice
Clan/Land: Riverclan
Description:

Autumnpaw really does fit her name. She is classified as a calico by all who see her but is not truly calico. Her fur is sort of an off white color with a tint of gold on the very tips of each fur. She is decorated with darker gold, red, and ginger spots that dapple along her entire body. Her fur is thick and slightly waterproof, perfect for Riverclan’s frigid river temperatures.

Her wide amber eyes are set just right into her round face. She gives people the impression of being fat because she looks chunky but just watch out, when you fight her, the flab becomes muscle rather quickly.

Her nose is the prettiest color of pale pink and it is even decorated slightly with little grey spots that stand out rather well against the pale pink of her nose. Perched regally on her round head are two overlarge ears that are frequently pressed back, not because she is angry but because she looks way cuter than she like that.

Autumnpaw isn’t very big, but then again, she isn’t quite done growing and she is sort of chunky which gives her the appearance of being a soft kittypet, which she was…once upon a time.

Sometimes when cats look at her they see a chipmunk. Her fur is thick and it sort of fluffs out around her cheeks which gives the impression of a squirrel or chipmunk with its cheeks bulged out with food.

History // Past:

Autumnpaw was the daughter of a very famous show-cat she-cat and a back-alley tom, basically the poor and the pauper. Her mother was a world famous champion cat with a beautiful lineage that spanned several generations and could even be traced back to the 1800s. Her father was a run-of-the mill tom, quite taken with her. She was to be mated to a prestigious tom but before the mating could occur she ran off with her tom.

The alley-cat took as good of care of them as he could and when she gave birth to Autumn and her twin sister Spring he supported them by catching the mice and rats that stalked the dumps and even got himself a job as a ratter in the wealthy woman’s house stalking the fat rats that snuck up to bit the little babes as they rested in their beds.

But after a long while people started to buy their own cats and let them stalk to mice and rats that haunted their homes and these cats scared away the alley-cat, never letting him get acquainted for fear that he’d take away their much earned jobs. So the family moved away from the village to the far away forest they had heard much about.

The alley-cat had survived winter after bitter winter outside but the show-cat had always had a soft bed and a heater beside that bed, she contracted greencough and died before the first moon of winter was over. The alley-cat saved the sisters from the same fate and after leafbare ended he took Spring and they went back to the alleys to find work and food. Autumn wasn’t interested in the working life and so she continued on into the forest where she met and became friends with a large group of loners. There she discovered her natural aptitude for healing.

Advised by well-meaning loners she trespassed into Riverclan territory and decided to make an impression upon them by becoming one of the most sacred cats in the clan, she wanted to pledge her life to healing and to Starclan, hoping that if she prevailed she would be given a place of honor and maybe she would even be respected.

So she traversed deeper and deeper into Riverclan territory, which was actually Thunderclan and then crossed the river into actual Riverclan territory. She was stopped by a patrol watching the borders, expecting some kind of uprising from Thunderclan and Thunderclan spies. They brought her as a prisoner into Riverclan where she planned on begging to become the Medicine Cat Apprentice. After all, what was a Medicine Cat without its apprentice?

Personality:

Autumnpaw is proud, of herself, of her family, and even proud of her kittypet roots. She has never rejected them, or denied them. She sees no reason to. She finds that the clan opinion of kittypets is stereotypical and even racist. She highly disagrees with their opinion that all loners and rouges are in the wrong because they don’t follow the warrior code and she believes that cats are cats no matter the name they are labeled with.

She refuses to back down from the taunts of the other apprentices about her being a kittypet and about how she taints every herb she touches with her kittypet scent. She hates how the shudder and refuse to eat what she touches and she even thumped a cat of on the head for refusing to eat herbs that she had prepared even though they were the only thing that would help it.

Generally she is patient and kind but she has no tolerance for cats that refuse to open their eyes and see that all cats are the same. She is a cat that can sometimes hide her feelings about a certain cat and she knows that she has to treat them all the same, she will never let her feelings about a cat get in the way of their healing, but sometimes she is a little colder to cats that consider her inferior because she was both a loner and a kittypet. She knows that some of them wonder if she will remain loyal to Riverclan, after all, if she couldn’t remain a loner or a kittypet how will she ever stay true to Riverclan.
