★ Jaguarspring's training guide ★

Instructions

★ Jaguarspring's training guide! ★ ★ Moon 1 [] Duties of a medicine cat, basic expectations Jaguarspring will start of explaining the hardships of a medicine cat, and the expectations. Some rules as well, such as be strict with patients, heal any injured cat no matter their origin, etc. Main topics covered here will be the healers code (Like the medicine cat code in the books) and also a few herbs as well. She will also get him used to a certain daily routine ★ Moon 2 [] Identifying herbs, keeping a clean herb store, and treating basic injuries Jaguarspring, being a very organized cat, finds it absolutely necessary to keep a clean, fresh store of herbs at all times! She will also teach Whiptailpaw how to identify some basic herbs in the wild by smell, touch, and appearance, and also how to treat basic injuries ★ Moon 3 [] Slowly encouraging the apprentice to treat injuries without her help, looking for more hard to find herbs, how to tend to herb gardens By now Jaguarspring will expect Whiptailpaw to have confidence in treating simple injuries such as bellyaches, thorns, etc. and will allow him to take initiative and do so without her instructing him. She will also teach him how to search for herbs that hide deeper in the forest, and scenting different herb smells and identifying them. She will also slowly begin teaching him how to tend to the herb gardens, which I assume the healers of coniferousclan have :'3 ★ Moon 4 [] Mini assessment, allowing the apprentice to become more independent, teaching more about serious injuries Jaguarspring will start the moon off by a mini surprise assessment. The contents of the assessment will be as follows: - First, she will quiz Whiptailpaw about what herbs to use for various injuries, to test his memory. - She will then test his skill of identifying herbs by giving him a list of what she needs, and ask him to collect the herbs from the forest by sunhigh (or sundown, depends) - Lastly, she will have a cat fake a serious injury and have Whiptailpaw believe it is real, and see how he does under pressure. She will have him treat the injury with the herbs he gathered earlier. If Whiptailpaw passes this assessment, nothing much happens but Jaguarspring may reward him with some accessory or something Jaguarspring will also teach about more rarer yet serious injuries and how to treat them! ★ Moon 5 [] Basic fight training and how to defend yourself, more about herbs, travel herbs and poisons Now that Jaguarspring has finished teaching almost all the basics and a few other things about healing, she will also begin giving Whiptailpaw a few lessons on basic self defence. She heavily believes that every cat must know how to fight, in case they ever find themselves in trouble. She will also touch upon poisons, and talk about how they must NEVER be accidently given to a patient, and how to identify them. She'll also talk a bit about travel herbs, though they are rarely used. ★ Moon 6 [] A final brush-up on all topics covered, preparation for final assessment By moon 6, Jaguarsong would've taught everything she knows to Whiptailpaw. In the final moon, she will make the decision whether or not he is ready for the final test she plans on holding. It will be similar to the mini assessment as well! During this time she will most likely quiz him often during this time, and observe him closely ★ Moon 7 [] Final assessment This moon will consist only of the Healer's assessment, where Jaguarspring will determine whether Whiptailpaw is ready to receive his full name and be welcomed into the clan as a healer! ★ Extras [] :3 Note that this layout is not very strict, and Jaguarspring will just teach what she feels Whiptailpaw is ready to learn, it's just very flexible in general! Also Jaguarspring will always, from the start, be teaching Whiptailpaw simple things like new herbs and where to find him, to slowly add to his memory, even if this is not mentioned ★ Jaguarspring as a mentor [] Grumpyy As a mentor, Jaguarspring will be very strict but not cruel. She give praise when she feels necessary (It's very rare though!) She may not know how to connect to her apprentice very well, but she will try, in her own way! She will act as if she doesn't care about him but she very much does, just tries really hard not to show it She'll have pretty high expectations for Whiptailpaw as the training progresses, and will provide him with tons of scoldings lol ★ How this will affect the apprentice [] Habits that will stay with Whiptailpaw Some of Jaguarspring's habits, beliefs, etc, along with some other habits she teaches are bound to rub off on Whiptailpaw, though which ones are completely up to the roleplayer! Here are some of my ideas (you can come up with your own too!) : [cont in Credits]
