.: General Info :.

Clan: Moonclan

Name: Rainshadow

Previous Names: Rainkit, Rainpaw

Nicknames: Rain, Rainy

Gender: Female

Age: 22 moons

Rank: Medicine Cat

Mentor: Reedwhisker (NPC), Pinestep (NPC)

Apprentice: Splashpaw


Personality: 
Strict l Caring l Adaptable l Sarcastic
 Good
 Neutral
 Bad

 Caring
"There there, it'll be alright." Rainshadow is quite a nice cat, although she can have a strict demeanor. She'll heal any cat if they are in need of it, a trait that is quite needed for a medicine cat. She cares deeply for every single one of her clan mates, and will do everything in her power to make them get well, and will only give up once the cat is deceased. Whenever a cat dies under her care or another medicine cat's for that matter, she feels as if she could've done better to save them, and falls into a period of depression for about half a moon. Even so, she continues to care for other cats during that period, as it eases her mind off the fact that she had a cat die under her care.

 Adaptable
"Wait maybe this can help!" You can say that adapting to situations is Rainshadow's middle name. She's able to work under many conditions, including in the middle of a snow storm, heavy rain, bright sunlight, you name it she can adapt to it. She's also able to find substitutes for some things, such as using juniper berries if there is a shortage of coltsfoot, a sturdy vine when sticks aren't available, and other stuff too. She's also good at adapting to emotional changes, such as the loss of a clan member, although that takes a moon or so to get over if they died in her care.

 Strict
"No no, you did it wrong. Do it again." Although she may be quite caring, Rainshadow is still a strict mentor. She wishes for her apprentices to succeed, and with that, she makes sure that they do everything right, even if they've already did it a hundred times before, she'll still make them do the task over and over until they got it right. Until they prove to her that they can complete the task correctly on a dummy (stick or a piece of prey), she won't let them do it on a real patient until they do so, and let them watch her heal the cat, observing her carefully.

 Sarcastic
"Hah, I'll let you do that when I grow rainbow colored wings and fly off into the sun." Although she does have a strict demeanor and is quite caring, Rainshadow does make a lot of use of sarcasm, especially when others come crashing into her den asking if they could be a medicine cat for a day, especially the kittens and sometimes apprentices. Usually Rainshadow would wave them off with her tail and ask them if they should be training with their mentors, or that they should be off playing like its usually do, or dream of being a warrior, or heck, even the leader of the clan! When older apprentices and frequently visiting younger ones come asking, she usually lets loose the sarcasm and waves them off. However she will let some watch if their mentors said that they could have the day off or stay and watch her for a little while.


History:

Kithood

They called her Rainkit because of the storm she was born in. Her siblings were also named after the storm they were in, Lightningkit, Cloudkit, and Stormkit. Of course, their parents were quite proud of their litter, with 3 she-kits and a tom. Every day their father would visit them in the nursery, even giving each of them a few licks and watching over them while their mother took a walk outside, stretching her legs. Rainkit loved her parents, especially their mother, whose scent was of milk and warmth. As they grew older and their eyes opened, it was only natural that the kits wanted to explore the camp, so under the close eye of Vixenclaw, they set out onto their great adventure of exploring the camp.

Eventually exploring got boring as the kits gradually knew every corner of the camp like the back of their paws, so they started talking about how they were gonna become warriors and how great they were going to be. Lightningkit even proclaimed that he was going to be leader someday! The rest of the litter started laughing, seeing as their brother wasn't really fit to become leader, but the tom wouldn't budge. Eventually they dared him to go inside the Leader's den, and sleep there for a whole night without their leader finding out, and then they will aknowlege that he has the guts to be a leader. That night, their brother set out on his dare, and crawled into the den of the leader, and managed to stay there all night without their leader finding out. Of course, they told their mother about the dare, and she agreed, although not too willingly. However when the sun broke out from the night's grasp, Lightningkit burst into the nursery, triumphant that they had lost the bet. Grudgingly, they aknowleged that he was great enough to be leader, and the tom rubbed it into their faces for a moon after that.

As the rest of her littermates bragged to each other about how great of a warrior they're going to be, Rainkit found herself spending more and more time near the medicine den. The herbs fascinated her, and she would sit at the enterance of the den and watch for hours as the medicine cat did his healing. The other kits would call her spacy, or that she had her head in the clouds, but Rainkit knew exactly what she wanted to be when she grew up; she wanted to be a medicine cat.

Apprenticeship

Alas came the day that Rainkit was going to get a mentor, and will determine her fate and profession. Unfortunately that day her dreams of being a medicine cat were utterly crushed, as the medicine cat had taken on another apprentice, one that was older than she was by 3 moons. The mentor she was assigned during her ceremony was a sour faced tom named Reedwhisker, who she grew to respect, although she resented him. She trained with the tom for 2 moons, growing stronger in combat and hunting, but slowly diminishing was her hope that she would one day become a medicine cat. Although he didn't show it, Reedwhisker enjoyed having the silver and black she-cat as an apprentice, and would give her the occasional smile for praise. All throughout this time, Rainpaw was quite upset, but hid her resentment with a smile, pretending that she liked training as a warrior. Hope came when the current medicine cat apprentice, who was nearing the end of his apprenticeship died from an unknown reason. They found his body at the base of Luna Peak, broken and battered. Nobody knew why he died, but they were sure that he threw himself off the mountain for some reason. Now that the spot for becoming a medicine cat apprentice was open, the medicine cat was to choose another apprentice to train, although he was advised to not train another until a moon passed, to soothe the pain of the recent death. After staying vigil for the dead apprentice, the medicine cat went against all advisories to wait a moon until he chose another apprentice, and walked towards Rainpaw, and asked her if she wished to become a medicine cat. She willingly accepted, although Reedwhisker was upset that he was to lose the wonderful apprentice that he had grown to like, but aknowleged that the she-cat's heart was set on the path of a medicine cat. Thus, began her training in her new profession.

At first it was quite hard for Rainpaw to memorize the many herbs of the store, but her current mentor, Pinestep, along with the help of Reedwhisker helped to get her to memorize all the herbs and their uses. No matter what came at her way, Rainpaw's determination kept her going, her heart was dead set on becoming a full fledged medicine cat. As she got older, Rainpaw found that her job as a medicine cat only got easier, and it was only a matter of time before Pinestep deemed her as a medicine cat, no longer an apprentice.

A full medicine cat

The night was especially quiet when Rainpaw and Pinestep went for her ceremony, and the moon was shining brightly. Pinestep had gotten the excited, but nervous she-cat to step forward, and named her Rainshadow. After her quiet, but somehow exhilerating ceremony, Rainshadow knew that she had achieved her dream, and was about to return to camp as a full fledged medicine cat, respected by everyone in her clan. On the way back, Pinestep joked to her that he had called her Rainshadow because she often stuck to him, just like a shadow. Brushing it off, the silver and black she-cat made her way back to camp, ready to begin the new day.

A few moons have passed since her ceremony of becoming a full medicine cat, and 2 have passed since Pinestep's death. Her old mentor had retired to the elder's den a moon after Rainshadow had been named, and died peacefully in his sleep of old age. Making sure that her mentor's deat wasn't in vain, the medicine cat worked harder than ever, so that other cats accept her as the new medicine cat easier. Shortly after Pinestep's death came that of Vixenclaw and Shrewtail, the former from an infected wound that she hid for so long, and the latter died shortly after, also from old age. Their deaths saddened Rainshadow greatly, but she refused for that to interrupt her life. However for a moon or so after those losses, cats kept making remarks about how Rainshadow seemed to have lost that bright aura of content around her. Even so, she was still grieving for her mother, who could've been saved if she hadn't hidden the wound. Eventually she got over the loss, and flung herself into her work. Now, everyone's peaceful, prey is plentiful, and there aren't many injuries other than the occasional scratch, and Rainshadow is quite content. There were some kits ready to be apprenticed, who knows. Maybe one of them will become hers.

After getting Splashpaw as her apprentice, Rainshadow has gotten a bit more busier, teaching her apprentice the art of being a medicine cat. Of course, her apprentice's shyness has been a bit troublesome when it came to teaching her, but she's trying to crack through that shell of her's to make her life easier, but the fact that she's a strict mentor doesn't help.

Moonclan

Fallowstar l  l   
She's a nice leader, although sometimes she can be quite...reckless, to put it that way. Sometimes I honestly do wonder if it's bravery, or plain stupidity that drives her to do foolish things to test her bravery, but don't tell her that I said that.

Lightningstripe l   l   
Eh, you know how siblings are, once you're related to them they won't stop bugging you. Lightningstripe's no different, although he has settled down a little from his attitude ever since he became a warrior, although his super loyal attitude hasn't changed at all. I just hope that he doesn't fling himself off a cliff after Fallowstar...

Cloudfeather l   l   
Unlike my brother, Cloudfeather is actually quite nice to be around now, although we have grown to be a bit distant now. She still visits the medicine den regularly though.

Stormflight l   l   
Probably the sibling I am closest to now, Stormflight often helps me gather herbs when she isn't on border patrol or hunting. In fact, she's helped me so many times now that she is fully capable of getting them on her own, but she's afraid of getting the wrong stuff. Oh well, you can't stop her pessimistic attitude.

Splashpaw l  l   
She's nice to have around, although it can be quite tough teaching her because of her shyness. Even so, it's nice to have another set of paws to help me gather herbs and heal, but right now she can't really do much except gather, I'm afraid that she might botch things up and accidentally kill a patient. Maybe I'll let her heal once I'm more confident in her skills, and proves to me that she is capable of doing so.

Roleplay Example:
taken from a group rp from The-Golden-Butterfly

{Kyoki l Pink-Orange Air l Cat’s Eye}

It was a quite pleasant day in Nandryx, and the bone crafter didn’t want to waste it cooped up in the camp, seething as she carved on her bones. What’s more, was that she had absolutely no inspiration yet again, so even if she did have anything to carve on, she wouldn’t have the inspiration necessary to make anything. Sighing, the pink-orange air made her way towards the Cat’s Eye, grumbling all the way. The grass provided no inspiration, the sun was too bright, the birds were chirping away, deliberately mocking her lack of inspiration. They sound like the Butterflies at that gathering to her, spreading their lies like wild fire. She’ll get back to them...some day. Right now she needed to take care of the matter at hand, and that was gathering inspiration to carve anything. It was during moments like this when she wished that she had the secondary skill set, allowing her travelling within Neutral Territory to be a lot quicker, or at least drag along a soul bound and force them to run with her. Cursing the weather, the seal point continued running towards the body of water ahead of her, when she noticed a few silhouettes at the shore. She slowed down her pace, sneaking up and getting a better look at the strangers, and what tattoos they could have.

There was the familiar brown pelt of her supposed half-brother, but along with him there was a she-cat with a similar brown pelt, and a tan and brown one as well. “He must’ve forced them to come with him,” she chuckled to herself, walking up towards the strangers. If they accompanied Kouki, then they must have Water Tribe tattoos as well. Now closer, she saw that the other brown one had the familiar swirl on her shoulder, but in a bright orange, and the tan one also had pink and orange in her tattoo, just like her own. The tan one was familiar, no doubt. The bone crafter must’ve met her at the gathering or something. Yu...Yuki? No, it’s not Yuki, but a similar name. Yuni? Yuri? Oh yea, it was Yubi. She mentally face palmed at the fact that she had forgot the name of a cat that she had met just a few days ago, but then again, Kyoki had seen the yellow-air many times, yet she barely knew his name. Seraph-something. She would need to ask Tara what his name was later, or maybe that orange-water she had seen around camp with kits. After all, the yellow-air seemed to hover around them when he wasn’t tending to matters around the camp, so the orange-water and her kits must be his family. Now that he was gone, taken hostage in place of those kits, she’d have even less of a chance to get to know his name. Shaking the dark thoughts from her head, she walked up to her brother.

“Oh hey Kouki, who are those hostages you have there,” she joked, her tail pointing at the orange-water with the scowl, and Yubi. The joke came out less than funny in her own mind, which drifted back to the high ranking cats who had sacrificed themselves for the new apprentices. “I’ll help get you guys back to your tribes, especially you Sera-whatsit. I’ll get you reunited with your mate and kits,” she thought dryly. She would stain her paws with the butterflies’ blood if it was necessary to get them back.

Hey again :'D
We haven't spoken in a bit! 
Splashpaw is going to be getting her full name and I picked out Splashfeather but how would you like to do the ceremony? ;o;

I think we should converse with the other med cats to see if they would like to coordinate a little gathering like in the books, preferrably on skype.

However if it were that way, I'd like it to happen when everybody's off of school (at least in the north hemisphere) so that we don't have to worry about posting rps while taking finals or getting bombarded with last minute projects n such from teachers.

And I think splashfeather's a great name! During the ceremony, rain's probably going to give splashy a feather, though I don't know what kind yet as a graduation gift

Splashpaw sat in the medicine cats den. She was fumbling with a tansy stem, thinking of different herbs and their uses. The small she-cat frowned. What's daisy for again...?

Inkuii In reply to SunnyTheKitteh [2015-01-19 18:26:41 +0000 UTC]

Rainshadow had put her apprentice in charge of sorting herbs while she had gone out to get some prey from the pile for the two of them, and returned with parts of an eagle for the two of them. "So, how's the sorting going?" asked the silver tabby as she set the chunks of meat down and walking over to her apprentice's side, looking over her shoulder. Everything seemed to be stored neatly, although the apprentice had been fumbling with a sprig of tansy while the medicine cat was gone. She seemed deep in thought, as if trying to remember what a herb was used for, or what the name of something was. "If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask," said Rainshadow as she plopped down and took a piece of eagle, chewing it thoroughly and savoring the flavor.

"Oh, daisy's for aching joints, as well as a travelling herb. You use the leaves though, the flower's pretty much useless for us, unless you wish to decorate your nest with a few of those," said the older medicine cat as she continued her meal, nudging the other chunk of eagle towards her apprentice. "Eat up, these things don't catch themselves," she continued, taking another bite out of the chunk of eagle she had in front of her.

Splashpaw quickly nodded her head and took a bite of the eagle meat. "So what are we gonna do after we're finished eating?" She asked curiously after she had swallowed. She glanced at her mentor before taking another bite out of the meat.
