Name:
Gender: Tom
Clan: WindClan
Rank: Medicine Cat Apprentice
Age: 6 Moons
Description: smokey black tom with pale green eyes; blind
Personality: Smokepaw is a very temperamental tom. Because of his blindness, Smokepaw can be rude to others. However, recently is depressed because of losing his mentor Hawkfur. He is slow with his duties and easily confused. Smokepaw is also cautious, thinking twice before giving a remedy to a cat for anything. Nobody blames him or is ever mad at him, he was only a medicine cat apprentice for a moon and doesn't know much. Smokepaw often visits other clans for help with medicine cat stuff and for a little training. He is never away for more than two days and is easily stressed out. Smokepaw does all he can for his clan, but sometimes he feels it is never enough.
He can also be gentle, however. He knows what it feels like to have disabilities, so he is gentle toward those who are less fortunate. He likes to chat with others and will often chat with the elders and queens. He knows the basics of herbs, like catnip, borage, and thyme. But that is about it. He has short patience and becomes unsettled by the smallest things. If he claws your ears for any reason, it is because you pissed him off for whatever reason. He isn't very social toward cats he doesn't know, so don't be offended if he tells you to get lost.
History (optional): Smokekit was born in Windclan, his father was Ashstar, a loyal and wise tom. Smokekit's mother was Daisyleaf and she was kind and caring. His parents loved him and played with him every day, and no cat dared hurt Smokekit, knowing that Ashstar would rebuke anyone who harmed his only kit. Smokekit's sister died shortly after being born. Nobody knows why she died, but she had been named Rosekit. Smokekit loved to play and was very adventurous, getting into all kinds of trouble. But when he was apprenticed, Shadowclan broke into the camp and attacked. An apprentice named Frostpaw was one of the first into the camp and went straight for him. She was large and strong, older than Smokepaw for sure. He turned and fled into the nursery that was being guarded by Badgerfang and Stormpelt, two of Windclan's largest, fiercest warriors.
They were very large toms and were infact originally from Shadowclan. A warrior of Shadowclan yowled "Traitors!" And launched himself at the two toms. Three more Shadowclan warriors appeared and tackled Badgerfang and Stormpelt. The nursery was unguarded. Though he knew no fighting skills yet, he poked his head out of the nursery and watched the warriors fight for several minutes until Jackalstar, Shadowclan's leader, exploded from the fight and hurtled toward the nursery. Smokepaw knew he wasn't a match for a clan leader, but he also knew he had to defend the queens and kits and the elders hiding inside the nursery. The Shadowclan leader merely tossed him aside with a flick of his paw like Smokepaw wasn't anything but a piece of fresh-kill. Yowls echoed from the nursery as Smokepaw's vision clouded into black. He knew he couldn't get up, his head was full of fog as he slipped into unconsciousness.
Later than night, Smokepaw woke in the medicine den terrified. He opened his blue eyes but he couldn't see anything. Terrified, Smokepaw asked what was wrong with him. "You are blind. Don't be frightened, Smokepaw but you cannot be a warrior. But I will need an apprentice with all the wounded cats." Was all Hawkfur said to Smokepaw. Hawkfur was Windclan's medicine cat and trained Smokepaw for a moon before he died of age. Now Smokepaw is alone and knows only a small fraction of what he needs to know to take care of his clan. He hopes another will step up to teach him more.
