Picture:
Personality: Extremely clever and cunning, like the rest of her sharp-witted clan. She also takes great care to be polite and other cats, only breaking out of it when she's under great stress or the cat she is talking to has struck a nerve. Even to the enemy she is like this, unless they try to interfere with her patients, if so she will show them no mercy. She's very caring toward her patients, as any Medicine Cat should be, and never passes up an opportunity to learn. She is humble, never to proud to listen to another cat's advice.
Description: A lean cat with slim legs and a long tail. Her fur is long and glossy, as it characteristic of RiverClan cats, and not to thick so it dries quickly. Her fur a pitch black with a thick white ring around her neck. Her eyes are a pale shade of green. Her nose black. A small nick marks her left ear from when her father cuffed her with his claws unsheathed.
History: She was born the only kit of Robinwing and Oakroot, both warriors of RiverClan. Being his only kit Oakroot was very strict with young Nightkit, insisting that she do everything she was supposed to perfectly. Once when cuffing her he forgot that his claws were unsheathed and gave her an everlasting nick on her left ear. It was when she fell into the river after sneaking out of camp as a kit, almost drowning before a warriors rescued her, that she decided to be a Medicine Cat. Her father was killed by a badger shortly after she was apprenticed to the Medicine Cat, Dappleclaw. She threw herself into her studies, excelling. Two moons after receiving her Medicine Cat name, Nightgale, Dappleclaw died of greencough, leaving her as the RiverClan Medicine Cat. Shortly after her mother drowned in the river after a large storm.
Roleplay Example: "I know what I wanna be,mother!" A small silver kit crowed, bouncing up and down with excitement. "What would you like to be,Silverkit?" The cinder-gray queen purred, her dark blue eyes glowing with amusement at her kit's antics. Silverkit crouched down, her green gaze flickering to and fro as she paused dramatically. "A Medicine Cat!" She squealed, jumping up, her tail waving wildly. "A Medicine Cat?" Wolfpelt repeated apprehensively. The silver tabby nodded enthusiastically, adding "I wanna heal cats, and talk to StarClan, and stuff!" Her mother licked her between the ears. "Are you sure, Silverkit? It can be very hard work" The kit's fur fluffed up indignantly, "So's being a warrior," She countered "And all do whatever I need to do! I'll walk to the moon and back if I have to!" The queen chuckled, "I don't think that will be necessary, Silverkit" She gently cuffed the kit lovingly, "You'd better go talk to Lightdapple" Silverkit squeaked with excitement, bolting out of the nursery and toward the Medicine Cat's Den.
