Celosiashard

## Appearance and Personality

### Appearance

Celosiashard is a tall, light brown tabby she-cat who has cream and white accents strewn across where undercoat markings would be. She has light green eyes and a celosia flower tucked into the base of her tail.

### Personality

Celosiashard is an antisocial, self-concious she-cat who struggles with social anxiety. She barely talks to anyone in fear of being hated, which she already partially thinks everyone does, and only really talks to patients who need to be prescribed herbs or coached throughout their treatment. She does her best to help and never does lower than her best, though she's tired out easily and sometimes finds it hard to have motivation. Her adrenaline usually keeps her going. She's easily frightened and skittish, but she tries her best.

## Backstory/Life

### Kithood

Celosiakit was born alongside her sister Asteliakit and her brother Ailanthuskit to her mother Alliumcloud and her father Flintswing. Flintswing and Alliumcloud's relationship was very strained and they often fought and bickered in front of their kits, but they only stayed together and tolerated each other for their children, who were already scared of their father who was prone to aggressiveness.

One day when the kits were four moons old, Alliumcloud and Flintswing were in a heated argument, and it came to an abrupt stop after Alliumcloud told him that they were finally over and their relationship couldn't last any longer. Flintswing took his anger out on Ailanthuskit, who he beat around and accidentally killed. Alliumcloud was enraged, the two remaining kits were horrified, and Flintswing was exiled from SwampClan.

Celosiakit and Asteliakit stuck together like tree sap throughout the rest of their kithood and hung out with a queen named Timberlodge and her kits Fennelkit and Whirlkit, instead of their mother who they were still afraid of. Timberlodge was their mother figure instead and they grew up alongside Fennelkit and Whirlkit.

### Apprenticeship

Celosiapaw, Asteliapaw, Fennelpaw, and Whirlpaw still hung out even after they became apprentices. Despite the two girls being very anxious about fighting, they often were comfortable with play fighting after adjusting to it for a while.

At nine moons old, her sister came to her in needs for advice. She was crushing hard on Fennelpaw and wanted to make him like her too, but she didn't know how. Oblivious to how far her sister would go to those lengths, she suggested impressing Fennelpaw. Asteliapaw liked that idea, but dragged her sister with her as she proceeded to lead out a patrol consisting of only the four apprentices to investigate a pack of wolves outside of SwampClan territory.

Unfortunately it didn't go as Asteliapaw planned and all the apprentices were attacked by the wolf pack. Whirlpaw was killed, Fennelpaw and Asteliapaw were gravely injured, and Celosiapaw was the one with the least amount of injuries. They managed to hide from the wolf pack despite how beaten up they were and when it was all clear, Celosiapaw ran back to camp for help.

Celosiapaw did her best to help her friend and sister. Unfortunately, her sister was permanently blinded due to losing her eyes, and half-deaf due to her ear being horridly torn. Fennelpaw was permanently disabled due to losing a front leg, and Celosiapaw managed to heal all of her wounds.

She thought for a while about everything, and was so scared of fighting now. She eventually asked to learn to be the medicine cat apprentice so she wouldn't have to spill any blood. Plus, she wanted to prevent anyone from sharing Asteliapaw and Fennelpaw's fate. The medicine cat agreed and she became the medicine cat apprentice.

She was mostly tending to Fennelpaw and Asteliapaw in the medicine den until they awoke, and Asteliapaw was the first cat out after three moons of healing. She had to have her mentor be hew new caretaker and she was made a warrior without learning how to fight, still being allowed to be a warrior but unable to help her Clan. She was named Asteliatwitch, and before her sister, Celosiapaw was named Celosiashard.

### Medicine Cat Life

Fennelpaw, who was named Fennelwisp, was outraged that Asteliatwitch couldn't do anything to help, being the cat who could actually learn to hunt and fight because he had just lost his leg, but not his senses. But unfortunately he couldn't do anything about that. Celosiashard was relieved to find that Fennelwisp actually had been liking Asteliatwitch before the wolf mutilating them both and killing his brother, but he had to think for a while before asking her to be his mate, because of the death of Whirlpaw.

Asteliatwitch and Fennelwisp, despite the odds, were planning to have kits, but unfortunately Asteliatwitch was not pregnant long and the kits ended up dying before being born. Celosiashard was brokenhearted seeing her sister and brother-in-law so sad about it, but they usually take care of the kits in the nursery who don't have parental figures or just need watching if their mother needs a break.

She was happy to find them happy though, when a kit found outside of territory was in need of adopted parents. A queen in the nursery would provide the food for the tiny tom-kit, but Asteliatwitch and Fennelwisp were his main caretakers. They named the kit Whirlkit after Whirlpaw, and Celosiashard is completely content with her tiny family. (I forgot to mention that Alliumcloud left the Clans after the daughters became apprentices, so just pretend like I did.)
