MEDICINE CAT APPRENTICE INTEREST CHECK

Cinderfrost is an underwhelming medicine cat: she really only knows the basics of herbs, their applications, etc. She hasn't even referred to herself as Cinderfrost yet! (Which may I add is frustrating to write at times like let me just use your name you melodramatic bi-)

You may be wondering.. how will this incompetent she-cat teach her apprentice? Thankfully, since she knows the basics, there will be beginner lessons. They'll either learn together or Cinderfrost will relay the knowledge she gathers little by little from the other medicine cats.

I wanted her to grow more before opening an interest check but I've been in poor health. I feel guilty that ThunderClan's medicine cat isn't as active as she should be // that I'll miss something while I'm busy sleeping away.

IC the decision to have an apprentice will be made due to her inability to connect to StarClan and the fact that a lot of cats refuse treatment from her. Her current disconnect with StarClan can make for an interest plot point! I'm not sure whether she'd tell her apprentice or try to hide it. Either way, it opens up a lot of possible plots!

Please read the high position and semi-high position guide before applying!

IC REQUIREMENTS
• Activity is a must!
• Characters do not have to be apprentice aged to apply: all ages are welcomed!
• Realistically, Cinderfrost wouldn't choose someone she dislikes. Whether they like her or not doesn't completely matter but characters who have had neutral/positive interactions with her have a higher chance of being chosen!
• She'll be on the lookout for anyone who shows interest in herbs, StarClan, and medicine cat duties. She would also test to see if they could connect to the moonstone before declaring them officially as her apprentice.

OOC REQUIREMENTS
• OOC activity will be taken into consideration at the same level of IC activity. The staff team and I will be looking for active participants in our community! As well as someone who makes others feel welcomed by offering plots, threads, etc.!
• In accordance to the rules, you cannot apply for the position if you already have a medicine cat or medicine cat apprentice in another clan.

Code:

I'm unsure of the deadline but I'm aiming for early/mid October!

character name: berryheart
why should your character be chosen?: berry is above all else extremely intelligent and patient. he's incapable of holding grudges, believing they go nowhere and are pointless, and feels at the most negative an intense neutrality. i think this'd make him a pretty good meddie in line with thunderclan's values, because he'd be willing to help just about anyone. in terms of his intelligence- berry is an extremely fast learner who absolutely throws himself entirely and absolutely into what he finds interesting. with such an expansive catalogue, i'm sure he'd find the study of herbs interesting enough to want to learn about! he already knows the names of a lot of plants just from being a know it all lol
how would your character have expressed interest in the role of medicine cat?: i don't think being a medicine cat would be something berry would have even thought about- but if the opportunity presented itself, he'd feel stupid for not sooner thinking of the possibility. he is pretty obvious about his quest to know everything, and herbs count toward that in his head. he also has experience dealing with asthma (from his own), and frequently offers advice when he sees other people struggling with breathing. overall he's interested in all knowledge, and will not view being a medicine cat as a bar from all the other things he enjoys doing. whether he'd be right about that is... questionable

character name: Moth
why should your character be chosen? Moth would be one to stick close to Cinder and listen to what she says, though she has awhile to warm up to others she does genuinely care and would want the best for her clan
how would your character have expressed interest in the role of medicine cat? Due to Moth's shyness and injuries, she would stick close to cinderfrost until she is fully healed from her injuries and finally have a mentor, but she might visit from time to time or bug Cinder to let her help with small things like reorganizing or helping her get herbs, anything since Cinder would be the first cat she interacted in ThC as well as the person who saved her, she would try what she could to just thank Cinderfrost for it.

why should your character be chosen?
i would love for dewkit to be chosen for plot reasons! being “different” than her siblings and being unable to pursue the path of a warrior would open many doors for plots around this/her feelings about it! she will grow to become a fiercely loyal thunderclanner and will want nothing but the best for them
how would your character have expressed interest in the role of medicine cat?
considering the fact that part of the plot around her and her siblings is that they are more likely to be ill, her frequent visits would eventually lead to her showing interest and asking questions about cinder’s role as medicinecat. i think it would be unlikely for her to outright ask for the opportunity to learn as apprentice, but would feel conflicted if selected. additionally, i think it would be interesting to have a medicinecat select an apprentice as young as her compared to the other medicine cat apprentices

why should your character be chosen? I just think it would be cool! Absolutely just for fun as I wasn’t planning on doing this lmao. I think because of Roe’s asthma it could be fun to have her pick up an interest in herbs and extensive research on her ailment, if there could be a cure, what causes it etc. she doesn’t have an outright passion for herbs, and has actually stated how she disliked the smell when Cinder became an official medicine cat, but I think she and Cinder would work well together since they’re so close as well !
how would your character have expressed interest in the role of medicine cat? would they have stayed it outright? asked questions regarding medicines? Roepaw grew up around herbs and medicine, so it wouldn’t be abnormal for her to have some interest in them, and with her moving out she would still be around the medicine den often to see Cinderfrost, and as she grows so does her curiosity and thirst for knowledge, so she’d absolutely start observing Cin work, and begin asking questions about medicine and how it all works.
