== Backstory ==
==== Kithood ====
Ripple was born just beyond the outskirts of OasisClan territory. He got along fine with his siblings, but particularly well with his smallest sister, Drip. His mother, Squirrel, was somewhat careless, even though she loved her kits. She was bitter over Rat - Ripple's father, and her mate of many moons - leaving her when her kits were two moons old. Ripple kind of missed him, but he didn't remember his father all that well. For five moons, everything was pretty chill. Then a badger attacked them one day. It lunged for Ripple, and bit into his shoulders, but he struggled away from it. It tried to attack him again, but Drip jumped in front of him and was killed. The badger ended up killing Shadow, too, and Squirrel tried to hold it off while yelling at Ripple and River to run. They did that, but they ended up getting separated. Ripple found himself in OasisClan territory with no idea what had become of his mother and sister. He soon collapsed from blood loss, because he was still bleeding everywhere, remember? He was found by Brightnight, OasisClan's messenger, and taken back to OasisClan. Snakespeckle healed him, and he was pretty impressed by that. He was allowed to become an apprentice a moon later.
==== Apprenticeship ====
Ripplepaw at first was a warrior apprentice, with his mentor being Mousetail, but he didn't enjoy it at all. He felt rather drawn to the medicine den and learning about herbs. After half a moon of unsuccessful warrior training, he switched roles and became Snakespeckle's apprentice. He worked well with Snakespeckle, and he found himself recovering from the trauma of the badger attack. He developed a crush on Monarchpaw, because she's pretty like that. He was also starting to become friends with Breezepaw, but then Breezepaw died. Oops. Then Snakespeckle died. More oops.
==== Medicine Cat Life ====
He received the name of Rippledusk early, at only nine moons old. He was named by Songstar, and is now OasisClan's only medicine cat, although he is still much less learned than most medicine cats. He's terrified and feels super guilty about losing Snakespeckle, as well as many more of his Clanmates: Newtbrook, Cootwhisper, Quailnose, Sandbelly, Nightrose, Toadhop, and, of course, Breezepaw. He's super scared that he doesn't know enough and he won't be able to save anyone else from this new sickness. Sootsnow has taken messages between OasisClan and MarshClan, containing information from Whitebird, who is trying her best to help the younger medicine cat - but even though he's managed to sort of become almost-friends with Sootsnow, poor Rippledusk is still stressed out of his fur. He's just panicking 24/7 now. He kind of wants to help Monarchflame, though, because he knows she was best friends with Breezepaw - now named Breezeriver. Hopefully they'll get somewhere, and hopefully Rippledusk won't die of a panic attack before they get the chance to bond.

==== Trivia ====
* He has no idea he's related to Chivethistle. Until River and Echo show up again, that is...
* He wanted his full name to be Rippledrip in honor of his sister. It wasn't. He only told Snakespeckle about Drip, but, well... she's dead now.
* Murphy was a grunt.
