You dream of cats with stars in their fur...
Name: Swansong
Gender:She cat
Rank: Medicine cat apprentice
...those cats that look and act like me...
Appearance:
Personality: Swansong is the very example of innocence, she believes in right and wrong but that every cat is capable of doing the right thing. She is fair in all things she does, thinking of others before herself and always looking after others to a point where she is almost nosy. Swansong is a very physically weak cat but she can bravely stand up to any cat if they endanger her patients.
Swansong is a strong believer in StarClan and puts all her faith in them if she is doing something dangerous. She also has a strong love for her clan and is loyal to the medicine cat code.
Swansong doesn't care for the norms of cats and will faithfully follows what she believes in, this is what lead her to becoming friends with Northernlight and Freezingwind. She is a studious cat and would rather spend the day inside a den studying herbs than outside playing with her friends.
...for I have become one of them.
History: Swankit was born along with three other kits who quickly died within the first few minutes of their life. Swankit was the only one to survive, even then she was a runt and having troubles breathing. It was touch and go with the little silver tabby for some time, but she did grow enough to become an apprentice. Swankit didn't even consider becoming a warrior she knew she was far to weak for such a life so she appealed to the medicine cat to become his apprentice. The medicine cat at the time, Goosefeather was reluctant to have such a frail kit being his apprentice but grudgingly took her on. Goosefeather was a grumpy elder of a cat but probably the best medicine cat RiverClan had ever seen. He was also the source of Swanpaw's horrible vocabulary. The two became attached to each other rather quickly and Goosefeather became a father figure to Swanpaw.
When Swanpaw was 8 moons old she became aware of two cats that would change her life forever: Northernlight and Freezingwind.
After a battle, Goosefeather refused to heal Freezingwind of his wounds, no matter how much Northernlight argued with him to do so. Frustrated, the she cat started to heal her brother herself until Swanpaw approached them. She offered to help Northernlight but she just snapped at her to mind her own business. Swanpaw had never been spoken to as such, usually considered the jewel of the clan for her talents and delicate body. Intrigued, Swanpaw followed the brother and sister to their next battle against ShadowClan. Swanpaw was blown away by how the two fought, fierce and savage but almost graceful and fluid. Swanpaw was envious of how their strength and battle prowess and was determined to help them.
From then on Swanpaw would heal the two warriors by herself. The entire reason Swanpaw grew so quickly as a medicine cat was from healing Northernlight and Freezingwind. Goosefeather was appalled by what his apprentice was doing, but allowed her to continue, "If anything they're furthering along your abilities." Were Goosefeather's words as he eyed the two deadly warrior warily. Freezingwind became attached to Swanpaw much quicker than his sister did but in the end the three cats became close friends.
Swanpaw was growing quickly as a medicine cat thanks to the two warriors help and was sent to a battle to help the cats while Goosefeather waited behind at the camp to heal the more serious cats. Swanpaw was distracted the entire battle with watching her friends fight. So distracted that she didn't see a cat sneak up behind her until it was too late. Dying was pure agony, not just physical but emotional as well. As she lay next to the river the blood pouring out of her, she could only watch as Northernlight and Freezingwind watched her in horror, fury and sadness.
Now in StarClan, Swanpaw was given the name Swansong to honor her efforts as a medicine cat apprentice in RiverClan and continued to watch over Northernlight and Freezingwind, hoping that she will be chosen as a cat who will give Northernlight one of her lives when she becomes leader.
