riverclan, medicine cat apprentice, ace aro, male, 6 moons



morphology

Mintpaw is a quite handsome fellow, with thick fur that wisps in certain areas, specifically around his chest, underbelly, and the tip of his tail. His original name, Dustkit, was given for his soft brown pelt, lined with vaguely darker tabby markings soft brown stripes on his muzzle. His chin, chest, underbelly, tail, and dainty paws are all a creamy-brown that melts nicely into the rest of his pelt. Mintpaw's most notable feature, the giver of his current namesake, are his bright, mint green eyes. He is much taller than his littermates, with long slightly spindly legs and an overall lithe shape. His nose is an oddly cute bright pink.



behavior

patient, polite, nervous, level-headed, nerdy, inquisitive, soft-hearted, self destructive, intelligent, self conscious, pessimistic, reserved.


records

mother: Spiderstorm

father: Aspentail

siblings: Blizzardpaw, Peachpaw, Chubkit



mentor: Sparrowtail



Spiderstorm and Aspentail are both warriors of WindClan, having been denmates their whole lives. At some point along the way, Aspentail fell in love with Spiderstorm and eventually became very blatant with his desires to have a family with her. Spiderstorm felt that the whole idea was ludicrous, and that being confined to the nursery for at least six moons would be an unbearable hinderance on her path to become leader someday. Aspentail continued to push the idea, and whispers began to sprout among their clanmates of them already being mates, which eventually pressured and/or convinced Spiderstorm to comply to Aspentail's wishes.



The molly eventually became pregnant with his kits, and moved to the nursery under Sparrowtail's demands- regardless of her constant assurances that she would be fine staying in the warriors den. One late afternoon the kits came, much sooner than expected, and Spiderstorm gave birth to four fairly healthy kits before bleeding out, not to the surprise of her caregivers but still to the distaste.



Aspentail, broken hearted, kept himself distanced enough from the kits that he was just barely forced into naming them; Peachkit, Chubkit, Blizzardkit and Dustkit. Chubkit was abnormally small, the clear runt of the litter. A few nights after their birth, the small tom stopped breathing and was later buried beside his mother.



For the most part, the rest of the three's kithood was fairly basic. They were suckled by another queen, and as they opened their eyes both Dustkit and his brother, Blizzardkit, revealed interesting looks. Peachkit, his bouncy sister suggested that Mintkit would be a pretty name, and Dustkit was renamed as such. As Blizzardkit took notice of wanting to act a bit different, so did Mintkit.



After getting under the crotchety ol' toms paws for some time, Mintkit realized that he wanted to train separately from his littermates. He was given Sparrowtail as a mentor and is excitably waiting for StarClan to accept him as WindClan's next medicine cat on his first half-moon meeting.
