[Mintpaw] [any of the family Labiatae and the genus Mentha that have white, purple, or pink verticillate flowers with a nearly regular corolla and four equal stamens and that include some used in flavoring and cookery]
[She-cat] [ShadowClan] [6 moons] [Medicine Cat Apprentice]
____________[LOOKS]
Mintpaw is a medium-sized she-cat with feminine curves and a small frame. She has muscular legs for leaping and climbing trees, or whatever it takes to find the herbs she seeks, but not many more muscles throughout her body. However, she is very sleek with shiny night-black fur and a speck of white on her chest. Her fur is a little longer than short, but yet not a medium-length pelt. Just long enough to allow a breeze to sift through and ruffle it. She has black whiskers that curl towards their ends and short, little-used claws that are sheathed within her tiny, graceful paws. Mintpaw's tail is thickly-furred, as is the rest of her form, and it helps her keep her graceful balance. Her head sits acutely atop rather stocky shoulders and her ears swivel attentively though their owner remains silent most of the time. And as her name suggests, Mintpaw's eyes are sensitive and pale mint-green that glimmer even in the lowest light. They sparkle with the same lustre as the Moonstone where her kind travel every moon.
Mintkit / Mintpaw Mintwind
____________[PERSONA]
A silent form that blends into the shadows. You can see her ears twitching around, hearing your every murmured mew. You see her eyes glowing intuitively. But you don't know what goes on in that head of hers: her thoughts, emotions, likes, dislikes, and reasons why. Mintpaw is a quiet cat. She keeps to herself, and burdens no one with matters that she hasn't taken days to consider. She is quite studious and attentive, though. The smallest details matter to her. This is good for dealing with herbs and ill cats because she remembers remedies very well. Taking into consideration her age, especialy since most cats of her age are frisky and have short attention spans, Mintpaw is very mature. Almost like a senior warrior. She doesn't correct young kits when they make mistakes or are playing too rough. No, she isn't grumpy like an elder. But she is very nurturing and motherly, always looking out for younger cats. She feels it her unofficial duty to care for others. She always makes sure to judge other cats fairly, and knows when to withhold her trust and when to grant it. She doesn't let the words of other cats affect her too much, but certain comments about her... uncertain past really get to her, and she wonders why the world can be so cold. But this only makes her more determined to heal it. Speaking of determination, Mintpaw is, above all, determined. Even if learning the herbs and cures weren't basic skills to her, she would totally commit herself to her work. Since healing is her full focus in life, she has to concentrate deeply on being able to master basic hunting and fighting skills which are necessary to know for even the medicine cats. This is not Mintpaw's strongest area, but she understands that this is something she must do in order to reach her full potential and be of the most use to ShadowClan.
____________[HISTORY]
Mintkit Mintkit was always a very different, but happy kit. She wasn't very playful or mischevious like other kits were, but sometimes she did play-fight with them. She started off life much the same way all other Medicine cats did. She didn't have much interest in the life and duties of the warriors, but she had always showed a keen interest in herbs and the activities of Medicine cats. Though Mintkit was never much of a trouble-maker, she did cause a stir when her parents couldn't find her because she was in the Medicine den, sorting through and sniffing herbs, and badgering the Medicine cat with questions.
Mintpaw Mintpaw had a very short warrior apprenticeship: just long enough to start learning basic combat and hunting skills, which did come in handy because she would have had to learn those skills later on as a medicine cat. Though she payed careful attention to every move her mentor made, her eyes were always set on the thing she wanted most in the whole forest: becoming Medicine cat apprentice, and eventually, Medicine cat.
&& Mintpaw as Medicine Cat Apprentice To say the least, Mintpaw was overjoyed to become Medicine cat apprentice. Everyday, she rises early and goes through the stores of herbs to make sure there is just enough of each for 3 pregnant queens, an outbreak of greencough in ShadowClan, 5 cats with bellyaches, etc. She is totally committed to this position, and it feels completely natural to her to be able to use her nuturing and healing talents to help others. It thrills Mintpaw to see a sickened cat walk into the Medicine den and use her skills to heal it. It feels great to her to make such a difference to the Clan that she holds more dear than anything.
