compassionate and sympathetic - she has a big heart and always tries to be understanding to those who are in grief. she is very loving to those who are close and dear to her.

optimistc - because she holds hope close to her and believes in second chances, she's always looking at the bright side of things, even if there are signs that point the other way.

strong willed - swanpaw is very dedicated to her role in the clan. she won't give up if you tell her that there is no more time left.

hesitant - only in certain situations she is hesitant. if in battle, she will be hesitant on what her next move should be (i.e flee or fight back)

[Negative Traits]

blunt - swanpaw believes that nothing good can come out of sugar coating, as it can tend to lead to misunderstandings.

meticulous - swanpaw pays very close attention to detail and it tends to cause her to take more time than required on simple things.

timid - she's quiet and does not speak up as much when a conversation is focused on her, or if she's talking to the higher ups (i.e her leader and deputy as well as the other clan leaders and their deputies.)

[Likes]

birds, they are her favorite prey
being close to her family
all kinds of flowers
when she successfully helps a clanmate heal

[Dislikes]

being a disappointment/burden
fighting
climbing as heights are one of her fears

[Kithood]

Swanpaw's kithood was a fairly normal one. She was born to a loving mother and father who loved her and her siblings very much. They took care of her and fed her, to her, their love was more than enough. She was always quiet as a kit, however. Swanpaw didn't really care for joining in on the game her siblings played that involved rough housing and fighting. she preferred not to get into anything like that. Because she didn't like taking part in the nursery games, she would often wander off towards the medicine cat den if they elders were sleeping. It had fascinated her a lot. She was always curious about what herb did what, but no one really thought much about it as she was too young to think about being anything else other than a warrior.

[Apprenticeship]
At last, her time came to become an apprentice along with her siblings by her side. Swanpaw had grown up staying to her passive nature and because of this and her growing interest in herbs and helping cats instead of fighting, she talked it over with her mother and father before going to the leader and requesting that she be made not as a warrior apprentice, but as a medicine cat apprentice. She felt like that was the right choice as she had always felt a sense of belonging and purpose in the medicine den.

[Medicine]

Now, being a full medicine cat alongside Foxheart, Swansong feels an even greater burden on her shoulders. A task of taking care of the whole clan as not as the apprentice, but now as a full fledged medicine cat. She understands the difficulties of her task fully well and is determined to get past all her tasks. Swansong loves being a medicine cat and each day she still learns something new everyday. With Foxheart by her side, she believes she will be get through everything.

The news of Starclan disappearing and the illness that seems to be spreading around has made Swansong believe that these are signs of something evil and dark- waiting for the perfect opportunity to pounce on the clan cats. She is troubled by what is happening- but does not allow it to get to her fully. Swansong still does her best to train for any situation to the best of her abilities.

ALDERCLAN

// Blankstar // Leader
" H-he..he was yelling and...so angry looking...it terrified me. He's so scary looking, you should've seen him at the gathering. Sweet StarClan if I ever have to meet him face to face- I hope I won't ever have to run into him by myself. Though, I am worried about him...he suddenly lost all consciousness and plunged into the water. I hope he's holding up okay because he didn't seem okay at all. I would hope that he gets better and fixes himself, but only StarClan can tell. Maybe he just needs some TLC from the right cat? After all, his own deputy and warrior did go against him at the gathering. It must've shaken him that badly to lash out. "
" I'm sorry. I hope you're living a much more peaceful life, may StarClan protect you. "

VALLEYCLAN

// Ospreystar // Leader
" I used to be afraid of him, it's just how I am with any cat who holds a high position. I just feel so small next to them. I felt extremely bad for all the badmouthing and accusations that were thrown on him. He doesn't deserve any of them. ValleyClan is lucky to have a sweet leader like him. After the fight in our camp, I treated his wounds and we got to do some talking-- baby steps at getting to know each other. I hope I can talk to him some more! "
" Ospreystar can be a bit unstable sometimes, but I truly feel like he is misunderstood. He's a great leader- a great tom in general. He's very caring, and sometimes I feel like he really is my own father. Recently, life hasn't been too kind towards him but...I know that he's strong enough to get through it. If he stumbles, I'll be there to assist. "

// Foxheart // Med Cat
" Foxheart is my mentor! She's wonderful. I love her so much! She's like a second mom and I cannot express how happy I am to be under her guidance. StarClan has blessed me with a terrific mentor, I wouldn't want to be taught by someone else! Ever since I started my apprenticeship under her, it's been great! I learned so many new things and I always learn more everyday. It's very exciting. She taught me remedies and all sorts of treatments from scratches, to aching bones, and much more! Though, I do have to say that when she gets hurt herself, I get very sad and worried. She tells me not to worry but I just can't help it "
" It almost feels like yesterday when I got apprenticed to her. Time sure does fly by haha! I'm still forever grateful to you, Foxheart. You're like my mother, and the time we've spent together...makes me really feel like we're family. "

// Finchtalon // Warrior
" Oh boy, one of my brothers...he's very energetic with Heron and to be honest, can be a huge pawful. Though, despite their antics, I love Finchpaw very much. I scold him whenever he gets an injury. It's important to keep yourself clean and safe and I worry for him because he's so active and rambunctious. "
" I'm so sorry that you became blind but...I'm proud that you're not letting your disability hinder you. You and Heron have both impressed me so much- keep being you, little brother. "

// Heronstorm // Warrior
" Heronpaw is my other brother alongside Finch. He's also a handful himself. They're both too much for me, honestly. I fear for their mentors. As kits too, Heron and Finch were very out there. They're kind of like a tag team duo. A dynamic duo! They can both be annoying most of the time. Sometimes Heron comes into the medicine cat's den just to yap his mouth off. I have to politely ask him to leave every time. I feel bad for Foxheart a lot and I feel bad for Ospreystar too. "
" You've grown up to be a terrific warrior, Heron. I hope that you'll continue to perform to the best of your abilities. I'm proud of you. "

// Rosemoon // Warrior
" I'm so sorry. If only I was a better medicine cat.......would you still be standing with us today?
I hope you've found your way to StarClan. May they protect you. "

// Mapleleaf // Warrior
" I've seen him around a couple of times..never really interacted per say till....recent. I know Ospreystar is fond of him.
What an interesting tom. "

// Wolfkit // Kit
" She's so tiny...and so cute. I would fiercely protect her any day. She's such a joy to look after too. "
DAWNCLAN

// Hawkleaf // Med Cat
" I've seen him before at the medicine cat gatherings, he's good friends with Foxheart. He seems reliable and.....nice I suppose. Just kind of looks a bit stern. "

// Mothstar // Ex-Leader
" She's the leader of DawnClan. I've never seen her before. She didn't show up to the gathering...something about injuries I think? I've heard that she was a big cat, however. It makes me afraid, I'm so tiny. "
" Heard she stepped down. I hope she's still doing okay! "

// Ashstar // Leader
" The new leader of DawnClan and Mothstar's successor. From what I've seen...she's very determined and passionate. She's really big though so...hm. "

// Wolfgaze // Warrior
" You had so much sympathy and were so very kind.....I hope you're doing well in StarClan, and that you are safe and protected. "

OTHER

// Oddblurr // Rogue
" I dislike him very strongly. He is so...power hungry and ambitious that it caused him to spiral out of control. I don't even know why and how it happened! He was fine up until the gathering...accusing Ospreystar in front of all the clans. Not only that, he came and attacked him in his den! Luckily Foxheart came to fend him off. I'm so mad that he hurt Foxheart and Ospreystar. Next time he wont be as lucky! "

// Hollyhock // Rogue
" Please stay away from me.. "
