Rank: Medicine cat
Clan: DuskClan
Gender: She-cat
Age: 23 moons
Picture:
Appearance: Her body is muscular which can make her look frightening but her paws are small. She has a thin abdomen and she has long fur under her belly. Her teeth are pure white and her claws are surprisingly small. She has a scar on her lower back right thigh from a fight she never wanted to fight. Silkgrass's distinctive golden brown fur makes her look very much like a cougar. Her nose is a bubblegum pink coloured nose with black out linings. Her tail has tiger like markings that are black. From her muzzle down through her neck and on the inner sides of her legs are beige. She has black tipped ears like a caracal but not as long.
Personality: Silkgrass has a battered personality and she is not easily made happy but she is usually easily angered. She will fight if someone made her really mad. She is very loving when she loves someone but in her history some cat broke her heart and it shows in her loves in the future. She is very wary about fires again because of her history. She is mostly evil, well not evil but mean but she can be nice sometimes.
History: (OK here is the big history *takes a big breath*) Silkgrass was born a rouge and she lived within a colony of rouges, there were many rats in their territory. Her father was the leader of the territory but he was very savage and mated with any she-cat he could. One day he was going to mate with Silkgrass but she refused to and ended up fighting with him; she fought through the night and into the morning she ended up nearly killing him and she was banished. (Sorry for the pg history) She got one large scar from her father but other wise scarred on the inside too.
She was in kittypet territory once she was out of rouge territory and she met Klein. He was the towns best pure bred cat, he was a Manx. She fell in love with him but then she found out he had been just like his father. She would have attacked him but she hid herself from the two territories and soon found DuskClan. But before that she had learned allot from other cats not in any group of sort; therefor she learned about StarClan and healing herbs. She learned more about clan life then entered DuskClan camp.
She came to DuskClan because she thought her family wouldn't find her there but she never thought she'd be in a clan territory but she wandered farther than she thought she would. She always was around forests and was in many fights, she got to get used to the herbs and plants around her. She was a loner but she can change many minds, she's very persuasive *nods and shakes finger*. She had been to many different loner lands and kittypet lands but she hated their ways. StarClan again was very close to her and she sometimes thought they sent her dreams but it was her imagination running crazy.
(from the beginning)
Silkgrass was just a kit as she was before her father turned on her, but when she was just 3 moons he did. She was running from him after the fight they had fought when she was six moons.
"Where will I go..." Silkgrass's voice cooed. She was on her own adventure. A rubbage pile (as she called it) was near and large; whatever was there she could scent them all. Cats and many many of them.
Her golden paws were moving fast towards the rubbage pile and in that place she could scent something that she had never smelt before. It was strong and vile. She hid behind a fallen tire and she could see many cats gathering around one large red, white and orange tortoiseshell cat.
The tom had large claws about three cm long. It looked to be their leader. It had many scars on it's body and seemed to be missing an eye. She hanged low behind all the cats and then she came behind their leader and lifted her paw to hit his shoulder lightly, and then a cat yelled, "INTRUDER!" and at that moment the cats ran at full speed at Silkgrass. She ran to the top of the pile and hit a piece of loose glass. Her front right pads pelted at her like in a hail storm. She held it up against her chest and cried to the ambushing cats, "Stop! I am not going to cause any harm, only to cats trying to hurt or possibly kill me." She explained. Silkgrass jumped from the pile, a six foot jump. She stepped right over to their leader. "Hello I am Silkgrass and I wish to join your, uh clan?" She introduced. "Scram feline! We aint taking new comers!" He impulsed. "Rude" Silkgrass whispered to herself as she walked out of the area. "Wait just one second!" Silkgrass turned around and said to the toms face. "I'm staying and there's nothing you can do!" She said with her eyes blazing. "Fine but your not going to be treated like all 'em over 'ter." He said.
Moons passed as Silkgrass had served for this group, on the same day she was to be named a junkyard guard the leader died. All the cats scattered as the death was, Silkgrass was used to it but the others, not so much. She slunked out of the area as she didn't get to attached to the large tom. She knew him well but she now knew the ways of loners.it would come in handy in the future maybe when she needs to scare off some cat larger than her. She was working on her own territory, she was alone for a bit but one day all that changed...
A golden brown manx cat walked up to her, his green eyes burning through her. "Ello beautiful what are ye doing out in this weather?" He asked Silkgrass. "Well, uh my last home scattered and I'm alone fending for myself now." She explained. Silkgrass brought the tom over to an old tree with a large hole made by many generations of woodpeckers. This was her home for now in this oak tree. "Well my name is Klein, I'm the hot shot cat in this town." He explained. Well this surprised Silkgrass and she was curious, "What do you meen? You live with twolegs?!" She was shocked at what she had said and found it rude. "Well yes indeed they fee me and let me out, but it's warm in their dens." Klein went all starry eyed as he said this. "Well I have no other place to go, show me." Silkgrass meowed.
The two cats walked up into the small town, Silkgrass stopped before they got to close to the door but Klein mewed at the door and this giant fat twoleg (teehee) opened the door and said something Silkgrass didn't understand. Klein ran in and the guy held the door open and waited for Silkgrass to go in. She was alert and ready for anything, she walked in nether the less. The new scents hit her like a running waterfall as she stepped near the wood burning fireplace. She got used to living the life Klein did but she did hunt for herself, only when food was scarce did she eat rabbit pebble like food. One day Klein had just com back from one of his cat shows and he nodded for Silkgrass to come into the cat room. He took her into the far corner as the twoleg closed and locked the door. Silkgrass ran towards the door as her heart thumped like a bongo drum from Africa. Klein's eyes were lowered and he had the same smirk on that her father had the time he tried to mate with Silkgrass. "No, no ,no." Silkgrass whispered with fear. Klein went over to Silkgrass and Silkgrass literally ran around the room and onto the window ledge. "Come on sweetheart, it'll only take a sec." Klein said. "Leave me alone you jerk!" She screeched as she jumped Down onto his back claws fully unleashed on his back. He fell to the ground in pain as Silkgrass ran to the window and out. She heard the door open and the twoleg yelling something. She would go somewhere but no where at the same time.
"Why does every tom I know or meet want to have my kits like that." Silkgrass sighed. It was mid March now and most of the snow was slush and she ended up in a lush pine forest. Pine needles crushed beneath her as she started to use the herbs around her, she figured out that poppy seeds worked best for pain if eaten, and cobwebs work well for wounded cuts, for ticks she would use mouse bile on her fur. She learned more each day and she began to remember Starclan. Oh sweet Starclan, why did have you led me a life like this? Why couldn't you send me to a home with other cats? She thought but in a few minutes her dream had come true. She saw an opening through the trees and a clan of cats... This shall be her new home.
Silkgrass's first moons here were pretty much on learning and getting used to the cats and environment here. She is used to being near these types of herbs and wishes to become medicine cat but she need trust. She had been (sorry if I'm playing anyones kitteh, tell me if I am because that was the reason I didn't post this part of hr history. I'm making up a random cat to be the past medicine cat, if that's OK) really good with finding their uses, the first one she found was cobwebs. They were for to stop bleeding cuts. She held her head high the day she would become apprentice and it was this sunhigh. "I can do this, no fidgeting I'll be fine." Silkgrass mewed nervously. She didn't know why she was nervous but she just hadn't been an apprentice before. The ceremony went by so fast it seemed, the cat's voices had quieted and they went back to working. She turned to her new mentor and walked back to Glowingcreek's den. Glowingcreek introduced her to the basic herbs and poisonous plants for the clan cats the next day. She had now been apprenticed but she couldn't feel like it. (She is an apprentice for about 10 or 12 moons)
Silkpaw was sleeping in the middle of their camp when a shriek came out. It was a fox, she had always hated foxes for what she had seen and heard them do to cats. She ran out into the clan's territory and what she saw was horrible. The fox had attacked Glowingcreek, torn her ginger tail in half and her paw was almost hanging by the bone only but it was submerged in blood. Some warriors managed to scare the fox away but Glowing creek couldn't move. Silkpaw knew what to do and told Glowingcreek to stay calm and stay where she was, then she ran back to the medicine cat den as fast as she could. She quickly collected stinging nettle for any swelling there was, allot of cobwebs for bleeding, she brought a bit of ragwort for Glowingcreek's strength, a bunch of poppy seeds for pain and a bit of marigold for healing. She used most of the herbs/healing items of Glowingcreek but something had been wrong. Silkpaw had done everything she was taught but what was wrong? She started to panic. But a few seconds later Glowingcreek's head twitched and the poppy seeds kicked in. "Silkpaw you have done well. I will be with you always..." Glowingcreek's voice trailed off dropping her head to the ground. "No! Glowingcreek! Don't leave me!" Silkpaw shrieked. She cried that day. she had never felt so close to another cat before, besides her mother.
She took Glowingcreek by her scruff and cried all the way back to camp with her beloved mentor in her jaw. Silkpaw arrived in camp with many cats around her. She told them the story and the warriors knew already but were their for their loved medicine cat. Silkpaw didn't feel like she was ready to become a medicine cat but there wasn't any holding back. She helped barry the magnificent cat that had touched many cat's hearts in a hole by a tree she had been by many times. She left a small yellow flower by Glowingcreek's grave and sat beside her for the night. She was now ready to become a medicine cat. The next morning she had gotten her new name, "Silkgrass! Silkgrass!" cats chanted (sorry if that was bad in any way) she held her head high and she would become a medicine cat in the footsteps of Glowingcreek's teaching and love for the whole clan.
(Sorry if that was confusing with her first being Silkgrass then Silkpaw then Silkgrass again)
IC: Silkgrass's gold pelt shone as she walked into the daylight and into the clan's territory. She was afraid this would just be like her other places she had been in but she had faith that it would be safe. The camp was very peaceful and she felt at home more like she had even been there were ferns blowing in the wind, and trees towering over her. It was this place where she would live. Today she would officially live her own life. Her gold eyes burned into the land before her she felt her paws urge her forward into the camp.
Her cream belly fur was drenched with water and mud from dragging it on the ground while looking out for other creatures. She wanted a home but was worried about cats, she felt that her father would find her then attack her when she least expected it. 'How could Mother mate with someone that vile' she thought disgusted. But she would get stronger then travel back home and destroy her father. Her eyes narrowed as she walked into the camp.
