Yellowtail~The Fierce

Appearance:

Size:7in 9lbs

Personality: Yellowtail is often seen as a grump. Short tempered and easily annoyed. When she does smile it's often because of one of her pranks. What? Medicine cats can have fun too you know ;3

Appearance: Yellowtail is a dappled she cat, her colors a mixture of a deep chestnut brown and a cream white base. She is of a larger build due with extremely powerful hind legs that give her incredible balance please.

History: Yellowkit was always a rambunctious kit, always wanting to prove her skills at a young age. She wanted nothing more to be a warrior, and be the best there was. You could say she was really headstrong, and sometimes would come off bossy toward the other kits. She admired the strong warriors and apprentices, one in particular was Applepaw. The other kits got tired of her bossing them around, so they would often exclude her from their games. Though she shoved it aside as them being weaklings, she was very upset about it. She found herself all alone, that was until a certain apprentice showed a bit of kindness towards her.

He played with her, and her sort of roughhousing was fine in his book, he would often joke about how it was going to make him a better warrior. For this she admired him, little did she know that would blossom into something more. Soon she became an apprentice, and shortly after Applepaw, became Applestripe. She wished that he could have been her mentor, but she got stuck with Mosspelt. Though Mosspelt was sub par in comparison to Applestripe, she did her best to excel in her training, and she did.


The others still considered her to be such a braggart, but Applestripe would shun them, saying they should all strive to be the best that they could be, just like Yellowpaw. This only made the hidden feelings she had for him soar. Her goal was not only to be the best warrior, but to win the best of the lot. Though Yellowpaw was never good at expressing her feelings. She would often find herself teasing Applestripe and joking around, though he didn't seem to mind. For a while that suited her just fine, at least she showed some interest in her. Or so she thought. The time came and Yellowpaw became Yellowtail. She was so excited! She could go on patrols, defend her clan, all along side Applestripe. A moon or so after going on patrols and hunting together, you would think they were an item, her fellow warriors would often tease her about it. Though she would brush it off, often threatening to pound them if they didn't knock it off. Not soon after a battle went underway with them and Moorclan, once again fighting over the Grassy Knoll. This time Streamclan had one! She was so excited! Her first battle, and she was successful. She got a few cuts here and there, but that didn't phase her at all. She quickly rushed to find Applestripe, though what she found made her whole world shatter. She found him snuggled up with (whomever maple's mother name is, Clovertail? XD ), her licking his wounds, and he returning the favor. At first she tried to shake it off, thinking to herself it could just be a fellow warrior helping another. But then as they walked away, their tails laced together, it seemed as if even their steps where in line. She couldn't believe it, how could she have not seen it? Though a victory was one on the field, she lost the battle of the heart, and went home tail drooping and spirit shattered. After that she couldn't focus on her duties, all she could think about was Applestripe and his new mate, how she wish it was her, though she couldn't be. She soon began to distance herself from him, along with everyone else, she started becoming cold toward him. Maybe it was better this way, if she couldn't be his friend, then maybe she would be able to move on. Applestripe started to take notice an confronted her, they had a huge argument and he didn't understand who this Yellowtail was, that she was a stranger, an enemy to him this way. He hated the way she became, this sent her over the edge, for the first time in her life, her emotions came flooding from her. She apologized and wished him a happy life with Clovertail, before he could say anything she scurried away, tears streaming behind her. She began to run, she ran so far until she was clear away from camp. She started to reflect over her life and where she had gone wrong. Perhaps she had loved too much, was it possible? Before she knew it she found herself at this strange tree, a light was illuminating from it. She found herself drawn to it, going inside to see the bright light that emitted from the stone. She found herself at peace for that moment, and rested at the rock. She began to dream, and found herself in a strange place, where all the seasons existed with each other at the same time. Suddenly a small stripped she-cat appeared, with dark green eyes. It was Mothstripe, the first medicine cat of Streamclan, along side her was Mintfur, the current medicine cat. The questioned how she got there, and she told them that the light had lead her, that it brought her some peace to her aching heart. The other two cats conversed and then Mothstripe nodded her head in conformation. Mintfur was skeptical at first, but who could argue with Starclan? Mintfur asked would Yellowtail consider becoming her apprentice, which meant giving up the life of a warrior. At once Yellowtail became furious, stating that she could never leave behind what she had worked so hard for. Mintfur was about to interject, until Mothstripe stepped in, recalling the events of Yellowtail's life. She asked her a serious question, was it for the sake of the clan that she worked so hard, for was it really for one cat in particular. She found herself flustered and couldn't answer. She knew the truth, and it pained her even more to admit it was true. Mothstrip explained that same tenacity she had in becoming a warrior, she could use as a medicine cat. Sickness would be her enemy, and she could purge it from this earth, just like any warrior. The proposition started to appeal to her, though Applestripe was in the back of her mind. Mothstripe could tell what she was thinking and left her with one final question before disappearing. "Was he really yours to begin with?" With that she woke up from her slumber, finding herself at the base of the stone, alone. She thought about Blackfrost words, and silently cried to herself. She was right, how could she be angry over something she never had, that she was never destined to have. Just then she heard a rustling behind her, quickly jumping to her feet. She relaxed a bit finding that it was Mintfur, coming to settle beside the young warrior. They sat in silence for a while, staring up at the great stone. Mintfur had asked her once again, would she be willing to give up the life of the claw, for the life of the herb. She gave a sly smirk and nodded, simply replying, "Why not, It won't be that much different. Just as blackfrost said, sickness is my enemy, and I must purge it from the earth. So I'm not so different, just slightly modified. With that Yellowtail became Mintfurs apprentice, and the rest is history. (This needs to be heavily edited, like omg, I basically copied and paste from a convo I had with Grey. I swear I'm working on it x.x )
