⊱⊰ The medicine cat apprentice is glad to see Goldfinchsong out and about once more, putting weight on her once-injured leg and seeming unbothered. She calls for volunteers to go hunting with her, and although the lilac-furred apprentice doesn’t offer to join in, she strides over anyway. "It’s...

⊱⊰ Though her eye is scarred, Hopepaw’s vision has not suffered. The kit had likely thought she could sneak her way past without being spotted, but keen eyes catch her as Slenderkit slinks along the wall of camp. Hopepaw watches the girl disappear into the apprentices’ den, but it is only when...

⊱⊰ The day is calm, and Hopepaw’s company is comforting. The patrol will not be straying outside of ThunderClan’s territory, but neither the other clans nor the rogues pressing at the borders seem to care much about attacking a medicine cat. Her paws carry her to Snakerocks, but not close enough...

⊱⊰ The deputy calls the clan to gather for patrol assignments, and Hopepaw does indeed keep him waiting. She rises on tired paws and merely stands in place for a few moments, swaying slightly. When she finally picks her way out of the medicine den and out into the camp, Raccoonstripe is already...

⊱⊰ The day she and Ravenblaze were attacked at Fourtrees, Hopepaw had understood that something had changed forever. She had taken a risk, but thought herself safe with her warrior friend to escort her around the border. Neither of them had expected the DuskClanner to come crashing out of the...

⊱⊰ After being attacked, Hopepaw has been relegated to duties only involving the presence of an entire patrol’s worth of cats. Her herb patrols have become much less peaceful, she laments. Especially along the SkyClan border, the apprentice believes the extra claws aren’t necessary. Whatever bad...

⊱⊰ As medicine cat apprentice, Hopepaw... really still doesn't know where she stands, on the pole of the clan's hierarchy, at least. She's still not gotten her full name, despite being an adult, and the paw continued to wear her down day by day. Whether she's supposed to eat after everyone else...

⊱⊰ The harsh words of her cousin are to be expected, but Hopepaw pays it little attention. Scarletdust is, in a way, like a hound—fierce, protective, loyal—but unfortunately, that means she is also like a hound—aggressive, blunt, loud. At least, she thinks to herself, the abrasive tortoiseshell...

⊱⊰ Moving slowly, shifting painfully, the two mollies make their way back to ThunderClan’s camp. One has barely escaped the clutch of death, and the other had nearly fallen prey to it instead. Drops of blood drip, drip, drip along behind them, creating a trail that could lead even an...

⊱⊰ The warrior at her side is not so much a stranger as a casual acquaintance; it isn’t that she doesn’t know Ravenblaze well, but simply that she hasn’t gotten the chance to be around her snuck since the tortoiseshell has entered warriorhood. Once, they had shared a den, in their kithood and...

⊱⊰ The day is nice enough, and Hopepaw treads quietly through the trees. She treasures her clanmates, but she also enjoys her moments of peace without any of them dogging her steps. It's important to have a guard with her, to prevent her from being caught off guard and attacked especially with...

⊱⊰ The storm that blew through the night before hadn’t worried Hopepaw. ThunderClan’s dens are sturdy, built by caring, toughened paws. Besides, how could she worry when she sleeps in the same den as her massive, protective uncle? Gentlestorm wouldn’t let her get hurt—if the medicine den somehow...

⊱⊰ Poppy seeds, poppy seeds… ThunderClan needs more of the valuable little things. Warrior and apprentices can’t stop getting injured, and with the tensions at Sunningrocks, it’s only a matter of time before the medicine den will need a full restock of their herbs for treating pain and...

⊱⊰ The medicine cat apprentice’s eyes trail after her uncle’s broad paws as he spreads an array of herbs before her. She’s tasked with naming their uses, and launches into an explanation quickly. "Marigold prevents infection," she recites immediately, not hesitating for even a moment. It was the...

⊱⊰ When Stormpaw fetches her, Hopepaw’s very first thought is that the boy’s mentor has gotten himself into trouble yet again. That tom—ugh, he’s a frustrating patient! In his one eye, it seems that ‘rest up’ must mean something closer to ‘go out and do your normal patrolling duties, because who...
