MINNOWPAW (eventually Minnowsprings) - ShadowClan Medicine Cat Apprentice Any pronouns (predominantly they/them) Bi Minnowpaw was born a kittypet, as Cloudy, unknowing of the life that lay beyond the fences enclosing them and their siblings. However, they managed to escape through a hole in the mesh, making their way into the forest where they were quickly stalked by a fox wanting its next meal. Cloudy was saved by a patrol of ShadowClan warriors, who took the kit into camp where they were given refuge by the leader, named as Minnowkit for their minnow-like colouring. As they were apprenticed, it became apparent that the life of a warrior was not for them, and was allowed to train as a medicine cat apprentice with one condition- if they failed their training they would be cast out of ShadowClan and have to fend for themselves. Due to this, Minnowpaw ensures they work extremely hard to learn everything they need to about herbs before time runs out. Minnowpaw is quite shy, usually opting to focus on the healing itself than the painful conversation. Although, cats that can gain their trust will find that Minnowpaw is actually quite playful... and a bit of a chatterbox. Minnowpaw admires their superiors very much, often acting quite submissive to authority due to being unwilling to anger any of them. Although, others may sometimes simply get a glance before they continue on with their work, dismissing the demand completely. They can never be seen without herbs strewn through their pelt- the trophies from being clumsy around a herb store it seems! The medicine cats of other Clans would often warn them never to come near any of their herb stores, because if they let them then when Minnowpaw left half the store would end up missing and in their fluffy fur. However, one of their intentional accessories would be a blue butterfly wing behind their ear at all times. They often dry the wings out in the sun before wearing to ensure it does not rot as quickly.
if the timeline doesn't work too well atm feel free to make it that they were just chosen as a meddie app !! and feel free to tell me if that spot is taken as well eheh extra bits cause the text won't let me write on the backdrop now for some reason??? - as it says, the rest of the body is quite fluffy and the same base colour (the lighter grey) with the pattern colour (darker grey) like splotches, you have free reign with where they are and what shapes ALTHOUGH i would like a few diamond-star shaped ones on the design!! :D - If you need a reference for the butterfly, I can suggest Adonis Blue, Blue Banded Eggfly or Blue Morpho butterflies!!! - The herbs strewn in their fur does not always need to be drawn... like if they're at a gathering most likely they would either have cleaned their fur, had their fur forcibly cleaned or only a few would maybe be stuck and types of herb are completely up to you!! - their tail is quite short, almost like a lynx/bunny tail, although they are very fluffy, especially closer to the paws!! - design also doesn't have to be too complicated, feel free to make the rest of the body as simple/complex as you'd like!
