Rank: | Kit | Apprentice | Medicine Cat | Elder | Medicine Cat

Description: This medicine cat is a gorgeous feline, even in her old age. Feathersoft, as her name suggests, is a long-haired cat, with a plumy tail. Her fur is layered with beautiful hues: a cream-color is the base, with darker and darker brown shades appearing on the surface. On first glance, the fur on the surface is a dark gray. Some white is evident around her strong jaw, muzzle, and neck. Her body is muscular, and her medium-length legs are strong to carry her far distances. A brick-red color decorates her nose and leathery paw pads. Her eyes are a brilliant copper, radiating with whatever emotion she feels at the moment. This she-cat claims that her ears are fairly large to better hear the will of StarClan.

Personality: Feathersoft is a sweet and gentle cat, with family and her clan being extremely important to her. Because of her position, she never had any kits of her own, and thus treats any cat younger than her as if they were her grandkits. Although she is generally good-natured, her temper flares up when she sees something wrong, such as another cat getting picked on, or an innocent being blamed for something they haven't done. She is quite fierce during the rare times she is scolding or protesting someone or against something. Feathersoft is a very knowledgeable medicine cat, and always does her best in whatever she does. Sometimes, though, she acts as if she's young and wants to just play, especially when there are kits around. With her kindness and always having a shoulder available to lean on, Feathersoft makes friends pretty easily.

History: Feathersoft was the solitary kit in her ArcticClan mother Flowerbloom's first litter, being almost the spitting image of her. The only information the she-cat ever got of her father was that he was a fine warrior of the clan and that her eyes were taken from him.

When Feathersoft had gotten to be the age of an apprentice, she was appointed to the warrior Riverwind. Although the warrior was very patient with her, Feathersoft was not having the best luck with fighting skills and her hunting was even worse. After a particular disastrous hunting experience, Feathersoft sprained one of her forepaws and spent the next moon in the medicine cat's den. It was there that Feathersoft fell for the first and only love of her life: the art of healing.

Feathersoft spent much of that moon talking animatedly with the medicine cat of that time, Windsong. She helped the older she-cat with some of the smaller cases, and soon learned that she had a memory for herbs. Feathersoft actually felt disheartened when her paw was mended and told she could leave the comfortable makeshift nest in Windsong's den. Riverwind noted her lack of attention when they resumed training, and he realized that his apprentice would thrive much better as a medicine cat. Feathersoft was thrilled that the leader and Windsong agreed with Riverwind, and has always been grateful to the kind tom that had been her first mentor.

Many, many moons passed with seemingly equally as many events in Feathersoft's life. Windsong joined the starry warriors, leaving Feathersoft as the full medicine cat of ArcticClan. Flowerbloom had another litter, bearing Mossmask to the same, mysterious father that Feathersoft had, and had passed onto StarClan when Feathersoft's sister had become a much better warrior than the medicine cat could have ever become. The wonderful she-cat Dreampaw had become Feathersoft's apprentice, and Forestmyth rose in the ranks of the clan to become Foreststar. After several more moons passed, Dreampaw became Dreamsongs, and Feathersoft joined the elders. When Mossmask had Foreststar's kits, the older she-cat planned on living the rest of her life spoiling her nieces and nephews (and probably any other kit that appears in the nursery).

However, Fate decided to throw some twists in Feathersoft's way...

Not only did Copperpaw, one of Feathersoft's beloved nephews, pass away, a few other amazing warriors had also joined StarClan too early, including Snowstorm, the deputy. These tragedies did nothing to prepare Feathersoft for Dreamsongs's departure from the clan, however. Nevertheless, she came out of retirement at Foreststar's request and is resuming her post gracefully. Despite losing the loss of the noble leader, Feathersoft is quite delighted at being able to see her nephew Bramblestar rise to the position.
