#mouseleap

I’m determined to draw all of ThunderClan before Christmas!!! So these are Spiderfang and Mousepaw/leap. They are the medicine cat and medicine cat apprentice respectively. 

When Spiderfang was Spiderpaw he was a warrior apprentice that wasn’t good at either hunting or fighting. He was on friendly terms with the medicine cat at the time, Longfang, and often stopped by to make small chat. Unfortunately Longfang was taken away by twolegs which left Thunderclan without a medicine cat, as Longfang didn’t have any apprentices. His mentor and leader constantly pressured him to become a medicine cat as he was the only one that had the tiniest bit of knowledge of herbs. For long he refused as he really wanted to be a warrior, but soon the pressure from his clanmates made him give in and he became a medicine cat without any proper training. He inherited Longfang’s suffix which only put more weight on his shoulders. His complete inexperience with herbs led to a few deaths which made him feel guilty and unworthy. Spiderfang would spend all the free time he had trying to figure out which herbs do which helped by his clanmates which knew as little as him about medicine. These accidental deaths became so frequent that the leader forced him to go to RiverClan and get mentored by their medicine cat. This made Spiderfang feel even worse and the entirety of ThunderClan was mocked by the other clans for having an useless medicine cat. After this period of mentoring Spiderfang was ready to go back to ThunderClan having learned all he needed to be a functioning medicine cat. In his time in RiverClan he developed a mild addiction to poppy seeds which he used to try and stay awake as long as possible to sort herbs and review their use to try and impress his mentor. He brought this habit with him in ThunderClan. Personality wise he’s a straightfoward, snappy and always agitated because of how little he sleeps. Despite the training he did in RiverClan, he still isn’t a perfect medicine cat and still messes up from time to time. Due to the fact the doesn’t sleep much, he rarely gets prophetic dreams, if at all.

Squirrelshadow- An intelligent and introverted tom. Squirrelshadow tends to speak in actions rather than words, whether it be using body language or doing a task to prove a point. He’s always eager to prove himself to be a capable warrior, despite not speaking very much, 14/10

Newtstripe - A skilled and intelligent she-cat. Newtstripe is considered the best hunter in the clan. She has a skill of being able to completely hide herself in her surroundings, so her prey never sees her coming, 13/10

Mouseleap - A cheerful and energetic tom. Mouseleap is always ready to offer his assistance, no matter what the task, he will even help out apprentices sometimes. He’s very popular in his clan because of this, 15/10

Yellowblaze- A proud and wise tom. Yellowblaze can be curt sometimes, but that’s mainly because he’s fustrated at being confined to the elders den by his loss of mobility. When he was younger he was a fine and respected warrior with a tendency for natural leadership, many cats thought he would be leader one day, 15/10

Jaggedwave - A brave and caring she-cat. Before coming to the nursery, Jaggedwave was a brave and somewhat reckless warrior, but since having kits she’s become far less reckless, although the bravery is still very much there. Jaggedwave would happily defend kits to the death, but any cat who knows her also knows killing her is no easy task, anyone who attacks the nursery now she’s there is either a mousebrain or has a death wish, 15/10

Tangleroot - A cheerful and good humoured tom. Tangleroot loves his food, he’s always the first to the freshl kill pile, but when times are hard he will happily give up food for the kits first, and sometimes even get out to hunt to provide extra, much to the medicines cat’s protests and attempts to get him back in his den, 14/10

Badgergaze - A wise and gentle she-cat. Badgergaze can silence a cat with a single look, but she only does this when needed. She’s seen enough of life to know a few things that can help cats out and her clanmates will often seek her opinion on matters, 14/10

Thundercloud - A bold and daring she cat. Thundercloud will happily undertake the most dangerous of missions for the sake of her clan. She’s an amazing fighter with few cats ever beating her in compact, 15/10

Chirpsong- A cheerful and optimistic tom. Chirpsong always approaches things with a purr in his throat and a spring in his step. Chirpsong sees the best in everything and will always strive to ensure peace between the clans, 15/10

Snowdapple - A calm and gentle she-cat. Snowdapple will often volunteer to take watch as it gives her time to think and reflect on things. When she notices a clanmate feeling down she will always gentle try and find out what’s wrong, and offer her help if they want it, 13/10
