Description:

Slatepaw is a beautiful kit, no doubt about that. She is also a very tiny little thing, but size doesn’t matter. Forget that she was the runt of her litter, forget that she is small; she is just as big as any and all of her siblings. Mind over matter is her motto. She acts big, so why can't she pretend she is big? It's the thought that counts, right? Whatever, she's just gonna think what she wants to think and doesn't care what anyone else says. It's best not to comment around her about this (the size issue) either, she tends to be a little sensitive about this subject. So don't talk to her about her size, unless you want to be chewed into little tiny pieces by her kit teeth. Thankfully her paws and legs have finally grown a little, and she isn’t as clumsy as she was when she was younger.

Once again we come across another gray tabby, which wasn't a surprise when she was born. She has a very light gray, almost a silver color for the base of her fur. Her tabby stripes are very dark gray, giving her a beautiful outline of her pelt, the lighter base gray going along perfectly with it. Her tabby stripes can be found anywhere and everywhere, from her head to her tail, her stomach and back. Her nose is the same color as her brothers, another family trait, a dark gray outline with a salmon pink center. Her eyes are something different than her brother's. She somehow got her grandmother's eyes, the beautiful sky blue color.

Personality:

Avoider, Patient, Shy, Slight temper

Slatepaw tends to hide from any problem she has and doesn’t like to face them head on. If she’s having a bad day she probably won’t admit it, just keep it to herself and pretend everything is fine. Denial is a good friend to have around, or so she thinks. This apprentice has never been very talkative, and doesn’t like to talk about what has happened to her mentor. She’s very nervous about her new job and position in the clan, but she is trying her best to make it work. She just needs others to be patient and understanding of her.

Slatepaw has a good level of patience, which really helps when dealing with sick cats, and the clan in general. She doesn’t really like to go out of camp alone, and when she goes to collect herbs she prefers to have someone with her. Though she doesn’t talk much, she will open up a little if you go herb collecting with her.

Her temper is part of her charm, it can be set off very easily if something doesn't go her way, or the way she was expecting. She's no perfectionist, but she does like things done right and well. It's best to stay on Slatepaw's good side, let's just keep it at that. She still has moments when she wishes she was a kit in the nursery like her brothers without having so much responsibility.

History:

Slatekit was born into ThunderClan the youngest of three kits to Seedwhisker and Duskflight. Both of her other siblings, Spiderkit and Black-kit were toms. But Slatekit didn’t mind, she could be just as rough as her brothers. She was born with a destiny, one the medicine cat had to put in place the instant he could. She was a normal everyday kit for the first three moons of her life, and enjoyed every minute of it. However, the fun couldn’t last long, not with Boulderfang becoming sicker as the days went by.

Slatekit was made into an apprentice, a little earlier than her siblings were apprenticed. The medicine cat had fallen ill, and needed to pass on what he knew before he joined StarClan. So really, Slatekit was apprenticed when she was three and a half moons. While other kits played, Slatekit learned about the herbs. She had started to stay in the medicine cat’s den around her fourth moon and was taken out of camp to learn the herbs even further. The kit helped out as much as she could until she truly became the medicine cat apprentice just after she turned four moons. Yes, it was much earlier than the usual, but it was her destiny. Slatekit never understood that Boulderfang was sick, or how bad it was, she just was excited to be needed. So Slatekit became Slatepaw, and though she was still young, she learned quickly. Boulderfang was depending on her to learn quickly, she had to. She had never dreamed of being a medicine cat apprentice, but she didn’t have a choice.

Her mentor trained her everyday, and she would spend hours memorizing herbs. She wasn’t allowed out of camp until her fifth moon, despite her already being an apprentice. If she went out to collect herbs, she had to have at least a warrior with her. She was already small, so it was feared she wouldn’t be able to make it back without help. Boulderfang finally passed away, no longer able to hold on. Slatepaw was now the medicine cat of ThunderClan, despite being five and a half moons old. Her siblings were still kits in the nursery, and this young cat has a huge responsibility. So she is now the full medicine cat of ThunderClan, and has been for less than a half moon. She does quite well, despite being so young.
