Gingerleaf

[Whisper]

Name: Gingerleaf
Age: 45 moons
Gender: Female
Clan: Windclan
Rank: Medicine Cat
Personality:

Gingerleaf has a kind soul. Growing up she never went out of her way to pick fights. She would rather use her words than her claws to fix a situation. Gingerleaf loves to learn new things too. She's very determined. Once she focuses on something, Gingerleaf will keep working at it until it's all finished. She is very loyal and feels the need to try and cure everyone. So naturally she apprenticed to the Medicine Cat before becoming one herself. Gingerleaf isn't quick to angry but once angry she has quite the temper on her.

Description:

This she-cat has ginger-colored pelt mixed with white and tan. Her eyes are a striking green that hold many stories and many questions. She usually has a very neutral expression, though around the younger ones, kits and apprentices, she softens and smiles, often using a softer tone as well. When she gets aggitated or upset her ears will flatten and her tail with flick back and forth like a whip - it would be best to steer clear of that.

History:

Gingerleaf wasn't born in Windclan, though many of those who weren't there when she was brought to Windclan assume that she is a Windclan native. She was actually born in Riverclan and had two brothers, Rockkit (now Rocktail) and Siltkit (now Siltstone), and one sister named Pinekit(now Pinetwig). Gingerleaf ran away when she was still a rather young kit and may have perished if she hadn't been found by a Windclan Warrior. The warrior smelled Riverclan all over her, but was concerned that the kit was so far from her own territory. So the warrior brought her back and to the leader. The leader dispatched another warrior to go to Riverclan and explain the situation. The messenger came back with the report that a kit had run off and they would send a messenger in the morning to retrieve her.

Gingerkit went back to Riverclan but a moon later she ran away again, this time going right to Windclan. She made a plea, she didn't like Riverclan, she didn't want to be there anymore and couldn't she just stay here? The leader didn't understand the young kits reasoning, yet she seemed so adamant about the whole thing. Finally he conceded and one of the Queens volunteered to raise her with her kits. Gingerkit grew to Gingerpaw, and then to Gingerleaf. Of course she was still an apprentice to the medicine cat until the medicine cat died. When she was still an apprentice the kittypet who became Greystripe appeared. Gingerleaf didn't really pay her much attention, she didn't pay many attention unless she was needed, being more of a cat that kept to herself.

However when a Riverclan cat came a few moons later to support Greystripe, Gingerleaf knew the cat right away even though she hadn't seen him in many, many moons. It was none other than her brother Rockkit, though he wasn't a kit anymore. Rocktail she had heard a few cats call him. When he was going back to Riverclan Gingerleaf intercepted him. She was curious, how had he been? How was the rest of the family? Gingerleaf never really understood why she had felt the need to leave Riverclan, but it just felt right being in Windclan. Gingerleaf didn't get the response she had hoped for though. Rocktail simply looked at her with a neutral gaze and said "I only have one sister, named Pinetwig, and she is in Riverclan."

Gingerleaf didn't let this stumble her or upset her though. If he didn't want to associate with her, that was fine with her and she was better off without having any sort of communication with him. Besides, Gingerleaf had new things to focus on, like her apprentice Whisperpaw. Whisperpaw was the perfect candidate for her old position. She was caring and helpful and eager to learn. However it wasn't long before things went a bit sour. Whisperpaw started to stray away from the clan, come back to the den late, or not at all for days on end. She was changing too, become more suspicious, more prone to lash out at other, just meaner in general. It wasn't until Whisperpaw was named Whisperrain that it all went really bad. She finally came clean about the rouge and when some warriors went after him she followed. Needless to say Whisper didn't return, she was banished from Windclan.

Gingerleaf took on Greystripe's daughter flowerpaw as her new apprentice, knowing that she would be a much better candidate than Whisper had been. She hadn't told a soul that she was Rocktail's sister, making Flowerpaw her niece. Gingerleaf made a promise to herself that she would train Flowerpaw to be a great Medicine Cat, and not let her turn out like Whisper did.
