## **Overview**

**Cinnamonpool** is a former medicine cat of ShadowClan who served under **Timberstar**.

### **Appearance**

Cinnamonpool is a short, small, pale cream she-cat with small copper and brown rosettes dotting her back and part of her head. Her legs and tail have brown striping, fluffy brown eartips, and pale, watery blue eyes.

### **Personality**

Cinnamonpool is a very elegant and poised cat at all times. She’s also quiet and graceful, with a hint of cunning to her. She can also be fiercely defiant and stubborn. But overall, she can be a very warm and friendly little cinnamon roll.

## **Backstory**

### **Early Life**

Cinnamonpool was born in ShadowClan as **Cinnamonkit** during the reign of her grandmother **Lakestar** to **Fawnleap** and **Toadpool** as one of 4 kits they had. Toadpool was also the current medicine cat of ShadowClan. Growing up, Cinnamonpool was often with Toadpool, watching them do their medicine cat duties. She affectionately referred to them as her "Toto", something she continued to do as a warrior.

#### **Warrior Apprenticeship**

Cinnamonpool was apprenticed at 7 moons rather than 6 to a warrior named **Berrypelt**, alongside the rest of her siblings. She saw little action during her time as an apprentice, the only time being the last of the ShadowClan raids on SkyClan. She became a warrior at 12 moons, forgoing an extra moon of training she would've need to accomplish. She took the name of Cinnamonpool, taking after her parent Toadpool and her grandmother Lakestar.

### **Adulthood**

#### **Briefly a Warrior**

It was soon after she became a warrior when Toadpool was horrifically blinded by **Draconis**, the executioner of BloodClan. She was extremely worried for their safety and health, and occasionally skipped out on duties to make sure they were doing okay. Toadpool then stepped down, and their apprentice **Roundberry** took over. Lakestar also past away in her sleep sometime later. Roundberry was then killed by **Elmsplash**, one of Cinnamonpool's denmates, leaving ShadowClan without an apprentice to carry on after them. After some deliberation, and meeting with Lakestar in StarClan, Toadpool and Timberstar reached their verdict.

#### **New Position**

Upon their return, Toadpool immediately announced the new medicine cat; Cinnamonpool, to her surprise. Wanting to make them proud, she took up the mantle of medicine cat willingly, and began her training under Toadpool. They trained her for a few moons, until they decided it was time for her to become a full medicine cat. Traveling together to the Moonstone, they bestowed onto Cinnamonpool the title of a full medicine cat of ShadowClan. She was visited by her grandmother in Lakestar during her brief visit.

#### **Guidance**

Cinnamonpool was thrown into her new role rather quickly, taking very little time to appreciate and deal with the change. It came in the form of Shatteredsky's leave from ShadowClan. Unsure of what would happen, Cinnamonpool watched as Timberstar then declared that no deputy would be chosen. Visibly annoyed and angered, the young medicine cat disagreed with Timberstar's choice, but at the time was unable to voice her concerns to them. Soon after, she chose her apprentice, **Amberpaw**.

#### **LostClan**

After some time of training Amberpaw (without the aid of Toadpool, who was in SkyClan teaching **Sappaw** after **Sprucefox** had died), Cinnamonpool witnessed the arrival of LostClan. Visibly curious about these newcomers, Cinnamonpool listened in quietly, the opposite of Amberpaw's reaction. Returning to ShadowClan afterwards, Cinnamonpool dared to try to communicate with StarClan. They were silent however, which somewhat confirmed to Cinnamonpool what she was thinking. Regardless, she remained reserved on the matter on LostClan, rarely expressing her opinion on the matter.

#### **Ascension**

Soon enough, Cinnamonpool took Amberpaw to the Moonstone, and bestowed on her the name of Ambergleam. A fortnight later, Cinnamonpool was looking for herbs when a freak thunderstorm happened. While trying to find cover from the rain, Cinnamonpool was struck by lightning. The strike caused grievous internal injury, aside from a wicked scar on her back. Delirious from the pain, Cinnamonpool realized the wound would be fatal, but it would slowly kill her over time. Unwilling to suffer, she attempted to find death berries, but instead found a nearby patrol. Informing the patrol what had happened, Cinnamonpool requested that the patrol's leader give her a quick death, and he reluctantly agreed. With a quick slash of his claws, Cinnamonpool's life was cut short. She ascended to StarClan, where she watches over her clan from afar, bitter that her life was cut short so soon.
