History
Kithood
Heronkit had a pretty normal kithood, playing in the den with mom and his siblings, goofing off, being a general little dingus. Sure sometimes the smell of another kit who'd just wallowed in mud would unsettle his sensitive nose, but it was a good time for him. Dad was always out on patrols and doing his duties, but Heronkit didn't mind, he was proud to have a dedicated warrior father. Part of him had really hoped his dad or aunt would become his mentor when he was made apprentice.
Apprenticeship
Things went downhill fast, and have only begun to pick up. His mother died just a few days into his apprentice hood, slaughtered in a territory dispute. It was horrifying... sickening, even, to think such a thing would happen. Sure he knew already the world wasn't all butterflies and honey, but he definitely wasn't ready for such a harsh reality! It was because of his unwillingness to train for battle paired with his strong sense of smell that he was changed from a warrior's apprentice to a healer's apprentice, and thank the stars he couldn't be more relieved.

Personality
Positive
Fit for a nurturing role; if Heronpaw didn't become a healer he probably would've become a den-dad. He likes talking to kittens and sweet queens, taking care of anyone that needs it. He can be a bit of a worry-wart, but he's just trying to show that he cares and doesn't want anything to happen to them. The same for the sick. While all the snot can be offputting, he's too worried with trying to make them feel better to mind much. He's the kind of boy who could pick up a butterfly in his maw and cause it no harm while he rescued it from wrestling kits.
(Careful, Understanding, Gentle, Kind)
Neutral
While he does care a lot, he has a hard time speaking up, and is a little overly-careful. He finds it hard to speak his mind in just about any situation, and when he does his tone is often soft and un-confident. Sure he can manage a quick mewl of advice or ideas when it comes to helping a sick cat or injured warrior, but speaking up for himself? Especially against taunting apprentices? He'd rather be in tick-duty all day. He prefers to sneak subtly on by and be invisible in situations where he might be... gasp... talked to! It does make him rather lonely, though.
(Cautious, Shy, Light-Footed, Knowledgeable)
Negative
Due to his inability to speak up for himself, and need to worry about every cat around him, he's not exactly... liked. To put it simply, he sees himself as some loser that isn't worth most cats time. Of course that goes out the window when it's actually time to get to his duties, and he, while internally screaming, manages to get by on simple, gentle words and suggestions rather than orders. He's doing his best, he really really is, it's just... hard. He feels waves of stress every other time a cat speaks to him, that CAN be cooled if they're king and warm, but not always.
(Cowardly, Socially awkward, Stress-machine)

Roleplay Sample
The blotchy-furred apprentice sat by himself. As he did fairly often when his duties and training were done. He'd sit, alone, just thinking to himself and looking around for something to do besides nap or nose around looking for someone to ̶a̶n̶n̶o̶y̶ help. He had just started to stand up to go poke into the elder's den when he was slammed into by a whining kitten. Surprised, and alarmed, Heronpaw immediately crouched down to the kit's level, sniffing lightly.
"Are you alright? What's wrong?" he asked lightly, but with a slightly hurried tone.
"I got a b-bramble in my p-paw", the tiny tomkit mewled between hiccups of upset.
Heronpaw blinked, glancing around to himself. Did this kitten really just body-slam him for help? Him? He looked back down, gently cupping the kitten's paw with his own to give it a look. Sure enough, a thick piece of bramble was wedged between the kitten's pawpad and toe bean. He hesitated only a second before leaning in, nipping it between his teeth, and delicately plucking it from the kitten's foot. The kitten was just staring a him expectantly, looking at his own paw. Though Heronpaw didn't see any cuts or anything, he still gave the paw pad a quick lick before he pulled away.
"There, all cured," he purred, trying to be convincing.
