THEY SAY BAD THINGS HAPPEN FOR A REASON,
BUT NO WISE WORDS GONNA STOP THE BLEEDIN'.
name...Mintpaw
age...7 moons
gender...Male
clan...LeopardClan
position...Medicine Cat Apprentice
species...Clouded Leopard
appearance...Mintpaw is a small clouded leopard. His fur is short and soft. It is a pale yellowish color and his patches are more light brown in color and outlined in black. He has lots of spots covering his body that start out small near his shoulders and increase in size towards his hindquarters then quickly get smaller at the base of his tail. He had a perfect row of smaller spots along the top of his tail, though they stop a few inches from the tip. His underbelly and tail are almost white, and his tail tip is white as well. His eyes are large and brown in color. His chin is pale, his ears are large and black and he has one black spot above each eye. His paws are big and slightly dark than the rest of him and his legs give him a short and stocky appearance.
personality...Mintpaw is more of the strong silent type, and prefers to keep to himself rather than confiding with others. Oftentimes his reservation makes him seem heartless, but in reality he does care for those around him though he doesn't always show it. He isn't a fast learner, but has a better memory than most to compensate for it. He has an average intelligence, though he will occasionally try out a new solution to an old problem. He isn't shy and doesn't mind company. However, he usually won't make the first move and is perfectly fine with watching rather than diving in. He isn't very skilled at fighting though he is a good hunter. He can be very stealthy when he wants to, though he isn't especially fast or strong. He also excels at climbing, balancing and is very agile.
history...Mintpaw was born under the name "Taio" outside of the clan. His father was former LeopardClan deputy Brackenheart. He never really got to know his mother as she died while delivering his litter mate. Brackenheart took care of him secretly until Wrenstar inevitably found out a moon later. She didn't punish him harshly, and Taio was adopted into the clan with a new name; Mintkit.
As a kit, he had always wanted to help out his clan as much as possible. He had watched and even occasionally helped the clan medicine cat. He found the job appealing and looked forward to helping the medicine cat as much as possible, even if he had to do so as a warrior. The medicine cat taught him a few basic herbs and took a liking to the small kit quickly. When he was old enough, he was made Medicine Cat Apprentice with the new name of Mintpaw.
Not even half a moon later, his father was seriously wounded in battle. Though he tried desperately to help him, Mintpaw was unable to save his father who died in front of him. This event hardened Mintpaw, and even after he mourned Brackenheart, he was still tough and reserved. Despite his quieter personality, Mintpaw doesn't let the incident interfere with his job of helping his clanmates.
