Dappled Pelt

Dappled Pelt is a slender orange-and-white tortoiseshell she-cat with golden eyes.
Dappled Pelt was RiverClan's first medicine cat under Riverstar's leadership in the forest territories. She was initially from the ancient tribe and journeyed with other Tribemates to find their new home. Dappled Pelt had a knowledge for herbs that aided the groups occasionally, such as assisting Jagged Peak with his limp hind leg in his brother's group. Originally staying on the moor, she followed her affinity to water, joining River Ripple's group by the river, and after being chosen by StarClan, she became RiverClan's first medicine cat. She ascended to StarClan after her death.
==History==
===Dawn of the Clans===
:Dappled Pelt enthusiastically joins Shaded Moss's group of journeying cats, and Cloud Spots notes to Stoneteller that he and Dappled Pelt would be able to tend to any sickness or injuries, as they share her knowledge of herbs. On the journey, Dappled Pelt further reveals a talent for catching fish and proves her healing ability when Hawk Swoop is injured on the Thunderpath. Upon reaching the territories, she and Cloud Spots comb the new land for herbs, often along the river bank. When Jagged Peak falls from a tree, Dappled Pelt lives temporarily with Clear Sky's group to tend to him, though unhappily.
:After returning to the moor, Dappled Pelt suggests Gray Wing as the group's new leader. She later cares for injuries after a fire, but is unable to save Moon Shadow, and Gray Wing develops asthma. As Clear Sky pushes his borders further, Dappled Pelt believes that her former Tribemate couldn't be trusted, and when he prompts the First Battle, Dappled Pelt joins the fight.
:She continues treating injuries and helping kittings on the moor, but when the spirit cats order the living to split off into five, like the petals of the blazing star, Dappled Pelt mentions that there are other places to live, casting her stone to move to the river along with Shattered Ice. The two are accepted into the river group by River Ripple, which is named RiverClan by Black Ear.
===Super Editions===
:In Moth Flight's Vision, Dappled Pelt is revealed by Moth Flight as StarClan's choice for RiverClan's medicine cat. Dappled Pelt remarks excitedly that she had been having dreams of teaching medicine and later teaches what she knows to the other chosen medicine cats. She later takes the medicine cat's oath never to have a mate or kits.
