## Overview

Chamomilewind is a former medicine cat of RiverClan, mentored by Coralflowers.

### Appearance

A black classic tabby with hazel eyes. They have a subtle orange underbelly and splotches of the same color throughout their pelt. They are depicted as having short and sharply-pointed ears, a large and fluffy black mane, a light tail tip, ears, and chin, and an orange muzzle. They also have a small gray-ish beige face mask and a dark liver-colored nose. Frequently, they are described as having cattail fluff stuck in their long, thick fur. Unlike most tabbies, Chamomilewind lacks head striping - but they could be designed with or without. (See Gallery.) The have two near-parallel scars on their flank, and scars on their sides.

### Personality

Chamomilewind is generally reserved, but talkative towards those that are kind or friendly towards them. They place their friends above all else, and has been known to be stubborn and loyal towards even their cross-clan friends. They're very neat and organized when it comes to their surroundings - but one wouldn't guess that by their appearance, of which they are sometimes too lazy to upkeep. They enjoy believing "the impossible," and encourages others to do the same. Normally, Chamomilewind is quite optimistic - but under extreme pressure or stress, they can break rather quickly. Often, their stress or sorrow is projected as anger, hostility, or frustration.

## Detailed History

### Early Life

Born in a litter of 4 as Weedkit between Chipleaf and Weevilhowl. Their littermates are Peregrineflight, Indigobite, and Redkit. Due to complications, Redkit died shortly after birth. As a result, Weedkit was the only kit Chipleaf let Weevilhowl take to Riverclan. Weedkit had asked constantly to see their siblings, but Weevilhowl wasn't sure how to break it to them that he had lost contact with Chipleaf after an argument despite his multiple attempts per Weedkit's request to have a family meeting at the border. As Weedkit grew, they eventually stopped asking and instead got mad at Weevilhowl, resulting in several heated arguments. Despite his urge, Weevilhowl never brought himself to admit the truth. Eventually, Weedkit realized it by themself. Weedkit blamed the clans and their "stupid rules," calling them nonsense and telling their father multiple times that they hated him for defending them (the rules). Without those rules, they could have been a happy family! That's what they'd argue, anyways. Truth be told, their parents' relationship had been declining ever since Chipleaf had discovered she was pregnant.

Having denounced their family, Weedkit took to the comfort of their closest denmates: Elderkit and Sandykit. Sandykit was rowdy and loud, and Weedkit wanted to be the same - instead, Weedkit was troublesome, hostile, and mean, showing little respect for any clanmates aside from their two nestmate friends.

### Apprenticeship - Warrior

Upon becoming Weedpaw, Elderpaw, and Sandypaw, this trio got into more trouble than ever. If it weren't for Elderpaw's interventions, who knows what sort of mischief Sandypaw and Weedpaw could have gotten up to! The two [Sandypaw and Weedpaw] were like friendly rivals, always getting into friendly arguments, or, "debates/heated discussions," and rough-housing in camp.

Weedpaw's first mentor was Copperhawk. They usually weren't much so publicly, but they showed a strong interest in fighting and learning combat techniques. Their true skill, however, shone in their speed, agility, and stamina - all of which are easily comparable to that of a Windclan cat's. They'd also shown an interest in learning how to climb, but this eventually fell out of her agenda as they grew busier and busier. Usually, by fault of their own as they'd often received punishments for their unruly, rapscallion nature. These tasks, more often than not, included additional hunting patrols, Elder duty, lone moss-changing sessions. The young cat hated it, of course, and would often find any opportunity to slack off or slip away to do whatever they wanted. They'd often ramble on about how much they despised the clan rules and would frequently dream of the clans merging together - or at least removing the borders between them. These spiels of dreams of "peace" and "friendship" between the clans were noble, of course, but several cats tried to convince the cat that their head was in the clouds. Including their father, Weevilhowl. This led to constant arguments between the two of them, Weedpaw furiously claiming that their father would never side with them for anything and just liked to stomp all over their hopes and dreams "just like everybody else," except for their friends.

Eventually, Weedpaw would just avoid their father - and he [Weevilhowl] would do the same, not quite sure how to talk to his kit anymore without some sort of fight starting. This went on for moons, with Copperhawk's training usually serving as a way for the hot-headed apprentice to blow off some steam. One day, they'd become friends with Lightpaw of Thunderclan after sharing a squirrel at the border. This would lead to Weedpaw spending more time around the borders of other clans, dreaming of exploring beyond Riverclan's territory and making more cross-clan friends than they'd ever had in-clan friends. For a while, Weedpaw had even considered leaving Riverclan - inviting their two friends, Elderpaw and Sandypaw, to come with them. The two declined for personal reasons, but offered their support anyway and promised to keep the conversation a secret.

Upon Riverclan allying with Shadowclan, Stagstar offered the suggestion that there be a messenger between their clans. Moraystar chose Weedpaw for their quick-footedness and nigh endless stamina - putting aside all of the issues the apprentice had shown up to this point. Weedpaw excitedly accepted the position out of self-interest, viewing it as an opportunity to get out of Riverclan territory - much to Weedpaw's dismay, Moraystar had expected this reaction and politely reminded them that he wouldn't have them fooling around. If they should be needed to send messages, they would only be ones that were of importance and they were required to focus on their task at hand. It was disappointing, but being recognized by Moraystar to take a role of importance had made a slight impact on them and they accepted the role regardless. Upon receiving the role, there was a noticeable increase in their work ethic, though they'd still hung out frequently with their cross-clan friends, particularly Lightpaw.

After inviting Lightpaw out to explore outside of the clans' territories, the two cats stumbled across an

## Trivia

* Chamomilewind's original art was going to be for a character named Arcadia, aka "Arcy." Arcy was purposefully intended to have a wolfish appearance whilst still clearly being a feline. The sketch was drawn and abandoned in mid 2020. The sketch originally had folded ears, but after joining the server and wanting to do character art for [Weedpaw], the sketch came back to light and was given pointed ears instead.
* Weedpaw's warrior name would have been Weedsnare, as picked by Blue's friend GlaceonSky, however, when Moraywatcher was still leader, he told them that he would have named them Weedsoul. Shortly after becoming a medicine cat apprentice, they chose to change their name to Chamomilepaw.
* Chamomilewind has a music playlist that changes from time to time to fit current/recent events. Spotify
* Their favorite prey is squirrels because that was the first prey they ever shared with Lightspirit when he was an apprentice.
* If they hadn't been held back from their warrior ceremony for their lackluster swimming abilities, they would have received their warrior name just two moons before becoming medicine cat apprentice.
* Their Minecraft name colors are: &2Ch&aam&9om&1il&3e&bwi&e&and
