Gingerlily

**APPEARANCE**
A petite she-cat, Gingerlily is an orange-brown tabby she-cat with darker brown markings. Her tail-tip is dark brown, as well as her toes. Her tail and limbs are slightly longer than average, and help her move around quickly. She has soft green eyes that are very expressive. She has a dash of white fur on her chin, and inside her ears. Her fur is very short, and very easy to clean. Lithe and petite, Gingerlily makes up for what she lacks in strength in agility.

**FloralClan**
FloralClan is an NPC Clan with a territory mainly consisting of meadows.
**Significance:** FloralClan is Gingerlily's birth Clan.
**Experience:** Gingerpaw was born alongside her brother, Stormkit in FloralClan. From a young age, Gingerpaw was fascinated by herbs and medicine, even if she had a bit of discomfort around blood. The medicine cat, Sunnybreeze, was willing to take Gingerpaw under her wing, and Gingerpaw became her apprentice. However, a certain she-cat soon caught Gingerpaw's eye; Rosepaw. The two of them became close friends, with Gingerpaw keeping her feelings a secret. One day, Rosepaw returned from a border skirmish with a rather deep neck injury. Rosepaw kept goofing off and playfully flirting with Gingerpaw as the wound was treated. Flustered by her crush's words, Gingerpaw made a mistake; she forgot to put anything to prevent infection. As time went on, the wound became infected, growing as it ate around and inside the neck. Rosepaw was met with an untimely death, stuck in pain and agony only to die in septic shock. Permanently traumatized, Gingerpaw was unable to work as FloralClan's medicine cat, and ran away, trying to find a new life.
**CarnationClan**
CarnationClan is a flourishing Clan surrounded by large woodlands, a beach, and some twoleg ruins.
**Significance:** CarnationClan is Gingerlily's current residence.
**Experience:** She found CarnationClan, and was given Lilyfoot as a mentor. The two quickly became friends, and soon after Gingerpaw joined the Clan, an omen was given to the medicine cats and the leader. Since then, an outbreak has spread, killing numerous cats in the Clan. The origin is unknown, and so is the cure. As the bodies rise up, Gingerlily gets more and more distressed about the future of her Clan.
