Name: Mintcloud
Gender: she-cat
Age: 18 moons
Position: Medicine Cat
Clan: WindClan
Personality: Mintcloud likes to wander around the moorlands on cool newleaf mornings. Mintcloud takes advantage of any herbs growing on the side of the border, especially horsetail, which is harder to find on WindClan territory. Catmint is the only herb Mintcloud doesn't have to worry about is catmint, as it grows abundantly on the WindClan border. Mintcloud's favorite fresh-kill is thrush, but her least favorite is mouse (can you guess why...).
Appearance: Mintcloud is a pale gray she-cat with blue eyes. As a kit, Mintcloud was nearly caught by an eagle, and she just narrowly escaped, but at what cost? Mintcloud has had a scar on her left hind leg to show her very narrow escape ever since she was apprenticed. Mintcloud's tail is tabby striped, although the stripes are faint, so few cats notice unless they get close up. Mintcloud has a bright berry-pink nose.
History: Mintcloud's mother, Icefang, never told her who her father was. When little Mintkit was only three moons old, Icefang died in a raid from ThunderClan, fighting off all but one cat, a gray tom that could have been the mirror image of Mintkit. This cat must have been her father, Mintkit realized, especially since Icefang deliberately avoided attacking him. The ThunderClan tom's name was undefined. In the end, Icefang paid a high price for her ignorance of the ThunderClan tom. Mintkit's brothers, Thistlekit and Tansykit, were both killed in the raids...by their own father. When the raid was over, Mintkit was injured but alive. The previous WindClan medicine cat, Ottercloud, came into the nursery. He was carrying borage leaves and marigold for the queens who were nursing, and when he found the lifeless bodies of those two tiny, helpless kits, he let out a shocked sigh. When Ottercloud realized that Icefang was also dead, he went to fetch Poppystar. Mintkit nearly died from her injuries, but Ottercloud had saved her. Ever since then, Mintkit had been naturely drawn to the medicine den where Ottercloud did his work. Finally, when Mintkit was six moons old, Ottercloud suggested that she could become his apprentice. Of course she said "yes!" From that day on, Mintpaw had plenty of respect as the WindClan medicine cat apprentice, as Ottercloud's precious prodigy. A few moons after Mintpaw became an apprentice, her father, who turned out to be named Thistletooth, died of greencough in late leaf-bare. Fortunately for WindClan, catmint was easy to find on the moorlands, and Ottercloud showed her where to find the precious mint-scented leaves. Finally, when Mintpaw was eleven moons old, Ottercloud gave Mintpaw her full Clan name.
Ottercloud had always claimed that he had named Mintcloud after his mother, Cloudheart, who was up in StarClan. And surely enough, just a few seasons later, Ottercloud died of a greencough epidemic that he had been trying so hard to cure; the herbs had not grown well that season. Fortunately, he still had his successor, Mintcloud, to save the lives of so many cats. And indeed she did! From then on, Mintcloud held a high respect in WindClan--perhaps even as high as Poppystar.
