Picture:
Appearance Description:

Juniperfeather is very soft in appearance. Her pelt is tortoiseshell, a mixture or reds, blacks, whites and brown. Her chest is a patch of white, offset by the red and black rings around it. Her eyes are a vibrant green-yellow, with the left eye struck through by a red bolt of fur.

Her small paws are decorated with splashes of white on her toes, clean white whiskers sticking up pertly. Her tail is almost that of a raccoon-- with black and red stripes going through to the tip, where it ends in black. The very underbrush of her tail is fluffier than the rest of her body, giving her tail some personality.

Personality Description:

Juniperfeather is often described as soft-spoken. She rarely speaks up, even if she has much to say. She only has this habit because she thinks very lowly of herself, and would much rather that someone smarter and higher in rank should speak instead. However, once it comes to medicine, Juniperfeather takes over completely. Like her name suggests, the berry of juniper often soothes cats that are in want of being calm. Her soft voice and demeanor is enough to calm any cat down.

She is always very gentle with her patients, and is always apologizing if one winces in pain. As one might have guessed, Juniperfeather is very patient. Her patience impressed her mentor, and made him strive towards making her a better medicine cat. Juniperfeather, being quite the innocent one, fell madly in love with her mentor, and was crushed when she learned about the law restricting medicine cats from having mates and children.

History:

Juniperfeather's history is rather dull. Almost, to the point of not being worth telling. She grew up, amongst a litter of 4 other kits. Her favourite of these siblings was her best friend, Hollykit. She and Hollykit would both race each other to find and identify as many herbs as they could. Both were striving to be the medicine cat apprentice. However, as they each grew, the friendly competition grew past how it had started. Both Hollypaw and Juniperpaw hated each other, their desires for being medicine cat grew far past their sibling-love. Sibling rivalry grew into bloodlust, and in a fight that Hollypaw started, she was exiled from the clan. Heartbroken, Juniperpaw almost wished to follow her, to tell her that it didn't matter if she wasn't medicine cat, because neither was she now. Juniperpaw lost all desires to become medicine cat, and almost rejected the offer. Her future mentor, Crowflight, had encouraged and pushed her everyday, until she finally excepted, and was inducted formally into apprenticeship.

Several moons later, she sat stunned as Hollypaw, or Shadow, as she had taken to calling herself, crept into Shadowclan. The leader that had exiled her was dead, and the new deputy was in charge. He had forgotten her charges, and allowed her to stay. Agreeing to leave her name as Shadow, they made her a warrior, and allowed her to stay. However, Juniperfeather felt that unrest was in her heart. Uneasy with the appearance of her sibling, she told Crowflight about her plight, and he calmed her fears, telling her that there was nothing to be afraid of, and it was just her being paranoid, as always.

The next night, Juniperfeather was planning an excursion to the twoleg nests, to gather some catmint, as the pile was growing dangerously low. Crowflight insisted that she should take an apprentice, but Juniperfeather assured him that she knew what she was doing. Agreeing reluctantly, Crowflight watched her leave camp. Turning around before he saw Shadow steal after her, he padded back into his den and waited a vigil for her return. Juniperfeather, happily finding her way into a garden of catmint, gathered probably a bit of surplus, and decided to explore. She stored her bundle in a small corner by the fence, and looked around the twoleg garden, to see if they had any other useful herbs. Starting when she heard a voice coming from the opposite edge of the garden, she peered closer in the shadows, almost getting her nose swiped off. After a brief tussle, in which included the twolegs setting the dogs out, Juniperfeather quickly collected her bundle of catmint and ran to her camp, recollecting her story to Crowflight, who notified the Leader, setting off a watch for Shadow, who never returned.
