Name: Vinepaw
Age: 9 moons
Gender: She-cat
Rank: Medicine Cat apprentice
Clan: Dawnclan
Apprentice/Mentor: Stormdreamer
Appearance: Vinepaw is quite heavily muscled like her brother, Treepaw, although not as filled out. Her tabby pelt ripples over a sleek physique, wide black stripes over a light, dust-colored hue. Shes average looking, not amazingly beautiful. But then who wants to be when love is off-limits?
She moves swiftly and jumps around alot. Her face is quite thin, with big amber eyes wide across her face. She has brown fur around her nose and black ears.
Voice: Light and musical, it sweeps over you like a summer breeze. It seems to warm you as she laughs, and even when shes sad its still sweet.
Battle: Vinepaw doesn't like fighting, but she darts around fast and gives a few nasty scratches. Shes trys to avoid being pinned if she can, because shes in trouble if that happens.
Personality: She's a very sweet cat, quite clever and gets excited or panicked easily. This can be a problem, as she tends to forget things as she panics. Its something she wants to work on, as she tends to get depressed easily if she fails, and if she panics, she forgets, and then she fails. But she loves to laugh and she always loves to help.
History: Vinepaw's history was pretty simple. She grew up with her trouble-prone brother, who was always wandering off. Sometimes she went with him and got in trouble, but she often didn't. She was always quite shy as a kit, but she seems to have grown out of it now. Her brother quickly grew a bad reputation, but she didn't. Other cats were always saying 'Oh Vinekit, you are a good girl!' And making alot of fuss over her. She was often lonely, since he was always running away or being punished. But this made it worse. Then Creamfur, another mother, became very ill in her old-age and had to be moved to the elders den. Yellowfur agreed to adopt the she-kit and her daughter became best friends with her adopted sister and their friendship is still strong, although she was very, very disappointed when they were split up. Wolfkit and Treepaw didn't get on very well.
She was apprenticed to Stormdreamer after showing alot of interest in herbs and healing and has been getting on well.
Family:
Mother: Stripefur
Father: Brownfur
Brother: Treepaw
SW: Vinekit stared up at the roof of the nursery den, looking at the inter-twining brambles. Wolfkit sat beside her, Treekit sat sensibly a way off for once.
"I'm bored," came his voice from the other side of the den.
"Yeah," Wolfkit agreed with him, for once. This certainly was a day for new things! Vinekit purred at her little joke. Yellowfur wandered in and smiled at them all, then went over to her son and licked his black fur. He made a face, but put up with the tabby queen's affectionate licks. Vinekit snickered, then her mother turned to her best friend and started to wash Wolfkit. Vinekit was mystified, wondering why she was making such a fuss over licking them. Stripefur looked satisfied after Wolfkit's grey fur shone, and moved over to her daughter.
Vinekit flicked her tail, meeting her mothers. She purred at the sight. It looked almost as though her mother's tail had shrunk suddenly and widened out into a much smaller cat who looked exactly like her. Grinning, she bent down as Stripefur gave her a wash. Wolfkit and Treekit came over and grinned at her. She narrowed her eyes playfully, whispering that she'll go and play with them afterwards.
"Oh no you won't." Her mother looked sternly at her, then put her next to her littermates. "You all look so grown-up and smart..." She smiled, then listened as Waterstar called out to the Clan. "Come on kits!" Vinekit exchanged glances with her best friend, then bounced after her mother into the clearing.
"It is time to make three new apprentices. Come forward, you three."
The kist stepped forward, all three looking excited. Treekit still looked a bit grumpy though.
"Treekit!" The black kit stepped forward. "From this day until you recieve your warrior name you will be known as Treepaw. I ask StarClan to watch over you until you find in your paws the strength and courage of a warrior."
"Sootclaw. You have mentored many strong apprentices, and I hope you will teach Treepaw of your skills." The two touched noses and retreated. The leader repeated the ceremony for Wolfkit, naming Frostfur as her mentor. Vinekit felt slightly envious. She had such and important mentor! She wondered who hers would be... she had only one cat in mind.
"Stormdreamer" Vinekit felt herself buz with excitement! She was going to be a medicine cat apprentice! "I pray that StarClan gives your apprentice all the strength and wisdom she will need."
Other: Sorry if I had to powerplay a bit in the ceremony.
