BIOGRAPHY

name... Silverpatch

gender... She-cat

age... 24 moons

group... RiverClan

rank... Medicine Cat

reference... A mostly dark gray she-cat with small silver patches.

appearance... Silverpatch’s medium-length fur is mainly a dull, dark gray. There are a few silver patches on her, and those patches are what keep her from blending in completely at night. The tips of her front paws and the tip of her tail are silver (really just a shiny gray, but it seems silver). The patches stand out, giving her her name: Silverpatch. Her eyes are a light gray, and they also could be called silver. Silverpatch is quite small but strong. Most cats are doubtful of her strength at first, but they soon realize how strong she really is. Her tail is pretty long, and Silverpatch has a habit of curling and wrapping around her back legs when she is bored or anxious.

personality... Silverpatch has an instinct to care for all cats, whether they are from her Clan or not. This can actually be a problem for her; she pities the other Clans while her own Clan wants to remain aloof and apart. Her “emotional IQ” is quite high, and cats frequently come to her with problems relating not only to Clan-wide issues but also personal ones. However, she holds grudges for a long time, and is not afraid to kill any threat to her Clan.
Silerstar rarely makes a joke or cracks a smile: she is serious and quiet, with an instinct to stay hidden until she’s planned out what she’ll do. The she-cat hates taking risks and making decisions quickly. She prefers to hang back and go through her plans several times before actually carrying them out. And once she’s made a decision, she’ll stick to it: no amount of proof or evidence can make her believe that her way isn’t the best way.
Her tendency to always follow rules can get a bit annoying, but Silverpatch does it anyway. She tries to be proper and polite, always saying “please” and “thank you” and rarely cursing.

history... The night that Birchwind became a warrior, Darkkit was born to Lightcloud, a loyal RiverClan she-cat. Darkkit’s features were almost an exact copy of Silverpatch’s, black with some patches of silver. Her personality was similar, too: somber but loving; thoughtful but decisive. Of course, Birchwind loved her from the start. It didn’t matter to him that they were half-siblings or that they were so different in age. Almost as if he had imprinted upon her, he cared for her every second of the day from sunrise to sunset. Darkkit thought he was nice, but she didn’t have any special attraction to him. Like every kit, she wasn’t one for falling in love when she was less than a few moons old. All that changed, however, when Darkkit became an apprentice. Fortunately, she was apprenticed to Birchwind. The tabby tom was ecstatic and resolved to make her the best warrior she could ever be. Darkpaw was happy, too: she liked Birchwind as a brother but nothing more. Birchwind knew this and tried to make her love him. Darkpaw brushed off his love-struck air with the idea that he was just a caring, enthusiastic mentor. Birchwind realized that his efforts were failing and began to get depressed; so downcast he barely had the will to live. Only a moon before Darkpaw was due to become a warrior, Birchwind was attacked by a badger that had come to live on the edge of RiverClan territory. He was dragged back to camp by the rest of his patrol. When they reached the camp, Darkpaw as distraught to see the mangled Birchwing that lay on the blood-stained ground. That night, the medicine cat told her that the warrior’s injuries were almost fatal; he laid in the paws of StarClan now. Darkpaw was horrified. Her distress pushed aside the veil that had covered her secret emotions and her love for Birchwind was revealed. She spent the rest of the dark night lying next to the barely conscious Birchwind and telling the tom how much she loved him. The medicine cat was amazed to see the injuries that should have taken moons to heal become fine in a matter of weeks. She called it a miracle but the mentor and apprentice couple knew that it was their now-shared love that fueled Birchwind’s recovery. It wasn’t long before Darkpaw realized that she was expecting kits. She had refrained from telling anyone about her love for Birchwind, afraid that the rest of the Clan would shun the love between mentor and apprentice. Using the abundance of new-leaf prey to cover up her plumpness, Darkpaw and Birchwind had a secret well-kept. When Darkpaw felt the first pains of giving birth, she rushed into the forest. Birchwind was on a patrol and wasn’t their to help her. Bearing her pain silently, Darkpaw gave birth to three tiny kits.
When Lightcloud and a searching party went in search of the missing apprentice, they found her lying on the ground, bleeding her life out in silent agony while her kits tried vainly to suckle. When they brought her back to the camp along with her kits, Birchwind confessed their love. Lightcloud was severely angered (“How dare they?! She’s only an apprentice!”) and turned on Darkpaw, killing her and two of her kits. Birchwind tackled her and managed to keep her from killing the last, lonely kit: thus, Silverkit survived. She had a regular kithood except for her lack of a mother. A kindly queen nursed her and attempted to become her mother, but Silverkit never really became attached to her. She stuck mainly with Birchwind, who loved her as much or even more than any father loved his kits. Everyone was excited when Silverkit became the medicine cat apprentice. Applebranch, the medicine cat, was growing old and needed to take in an apprentice. Silverpaw had an uneventful apprenticeship. She worked hard and learned quickly, making a huge effort to be a good medicine cat.
Even though she was just an apprentice, many cats younger than her (and several who were old, too) came to her when they needed help. Silverpatch , they thought, could help them with anything, whether they needed help perfecting a hunting crouch or needed guidance because their crush loved someone else. Silverpatch’s reputation and abilities may have been a bit exaggerated, but she tried to help whoever she could. When Applebranch gave her her warrior name, Silverpaw was ecstatic. The newly-named Silverpatch rejoiced with Birchwind, happy to finally have warrior status. As a full medicine cat, her reputaion as the cat to go to when you had problems only intensified. Even the leader was known to go to her even when he could have dealt with the problems on his own; e knew that she could only make his solutions better. Applebranch died only days after Silverpatch received her new name. She was very old by this time and her condition had deteriorated until she was very weak and unstable. Saddened by Applebranch’s death, Silverpatch looked to the stars for guidance. She resolved to be the best medicine cat RiverClan had ever had.

notes... Medicine cat, hopefully. Sorry for the super-long history, I got kinda carried away when I wrote it. I used to RP on a Warriors RP called The Truth with a character named Nightfeather (she was the RiverClan medicine cat). That site is now inactive and I decided to recycle Nightfeather’s bio. I re-wrote most of it, but her appearance, personality and history are pretty much the same.

ROLEPLAYING PROMPT

The RiverClan deputy has recently been seen off the borders. A rumor has spread that he has been meeting a WindClan she-cat and that she is having his kits. While out collecting herbs, Silverpatch hears voices. Silverpatch goes to the source of the noise and discovers the deputy and an obviously pregnant she-cat of WindClan appearance and scent. What does Silverpatch, your character, do?
[RC Deputy: Badgerstep; WC She-cat: Heatherfoot]

Silverpatch crouched in the bushes, a thick wad of herbs clamped between her jaws. Her eyes were wide with confusion and surprise and she waved her long tail quickly from side to side, curling in around her ankles before swishing it to her other leg. The she-cat had no idea what to make of this: to think, the deputy was a traitor, going against the warrior code! Silverpatch’s long tail waved even faster as she tried to figure out what to do. But suddenly, a patch of dry bracken rattled above her head. Who did that? Now they’re going to find me! With an embarrassed wince, Silverpatch realized she had given herself away: her tail had clearly knocked into the bracken. I’d better get out – much better to show myself then to be caught eavesdropping. “Foxdung,” she growled as she stepped out from her hiding place and dropped her clump of herbs, frantically trying to come up with a plan.
”Badgerstep.” Silverpatch sent a frown in the deputy’s direction before turning to the cat who was clearly his mate. ”Heatherfoot, I think?”
Without waiting for the pair to say anything, Silverpatch sighed and spoke again: ”Am I right to assume that you two are mates?” Once again, she didn’t let them speak, just let herself do all the talking. ”You’d better get back to camp right away, Badgerstep. And Heatherfoot, I think you should do the same. I am going to decided what to tell the leader.” Whisking around, Silverpatch picked up her collection of leaves and headed back to the camp, assuming they would follow her orders. Badgerstep had more power than her, but what else was he to do?

SHORT ESSAY

In one to three paragraphs, describe how your char either goes with or against the general RC personality, and how this would have qualified them to be the med cat app and then med cat.

Silverpatch doesn’t really go with the RiverClan personality. She’s kind of in the middle: caring for other Clans, fiercely protective of her own, definitely not daring… her patchwork personality has bits that are usually attributed to other Clans, but other bits are clearly RiverClan.
However, she has the real personality of a medicine cat, and Applebranch and the leader had no qualms about making her the medicine cat apprentice. Same with all the other cats: even as a kit, Silverpatch’s caring, problem-solving made her a clear choice for medicine cat apprentice and then, when it was time, a full-fledged medicine cat.

[Darkiez =D]

I'm sick of waiting and I doubt anyone else will audition. So I moved the deadline to today.

The RiverClan meddie will be SILVERPATCH, played by AVALANCHE.

Congrats! ^^ Please re-post your bio as a normal bio in the character section.

Great, thanks. I'll go re-post my bio now... -runsoff-
