Bluefeather

## Appearance & Personality

Bluefeather is a long furred Russian blue tom with an especially long, soft coat. He has pale blue eyes; one scratched out and white due to an injury in his early apprenticeship.

Bluefeather was known by many to be cold and temperamental. Not many saw his soft side while he was alive, but everyone knew of his stubborn and dignified personality. His courage in the face of uncertainty during his time as medicine cat was undeniable.

## Brief History

Bluefeather lived in the Farlands as a SkyClan Medicine Cat for his entire life. After his death, he never went to StarClan, but instead followed his pregnant mate, Mellowbug, to the new territories after she was captured by twolegs. He tried to save Mellowbug from being killed by Widowstar, but was intercepted by Sulfurstar, and killed by the leader of the Aspguard.

## Detailed History

#### Kithood

Bluekit was born a rogue in the Farlands and orphaned at a young age after his parents were killed by foxes. He spent most of his kithood in the Medicine Den due to on and off chest infections, and quickly began to show traits of a Medicine Cat. Fawnleap, who saw Bluefeather's unique compassion for others and eagerness to learn, recruited the young tom to be her apprentice, despite the fact that Bluekit and Fawnleap were only 7 moons apart in age.

#### Medicine Cat Apprenticeship

At the beginning of his apprenticeship, Bluepaw was fatally injured by an unknown killer in the Clan, causing him to lose sight in his left eye and suffer from frequent, devastating migraines which would often leave him in a lethargic state for short periods of time. Though his recovery was long winded and difficult, Bluepaw regained his ability to continue in his training as a Medicine Cat.

The rest of his apprenticeship was rather smooth sailing despite his injury, and he enjoyed the company of Fawnleap, Tulipwing, and young Mellowbug, who was still Mellowkit at the time.

Later on during the early moons of his apprenticeship, Bluepaw met Crowpaw, a WindClan Tunneler, while out collecting herbs. The two clashed immediately, and even fought several times. Still, slowly but surely, both began to develop a passion for one another, and would go out of the way to see each other, even if they would often argue.

Before he ever received his name, his mentor, Fawnleap, was killed by the same mysterious killer she had vowed to get revenge on just a few moons prior. Bluepaw traveled to the Moonstone with Poppyshine as his guide.

#### Medicine Cat Life

After the death of Fawnleap, Bluefeather closed himself off to the rest of the Clan, becoming a bit of social recluse. He would not eat nor interact with others.. until Ivystar began to stir up trouble. Suddenly Bluefeather had become outspoken and opinionated, extremely offset by Ivystar's actions. Particularly, he especially was bothered by her choice to make Mellowkit an apprentice early, fearing for the young she-cat's safety. Both Ivystar and Bluefeather clashed constantly, and it was eventually clear to him that Ivystar had been his attacker when he was young. Unable to prove anything, Bluefeather remained silent out of his fear.m

Outside of Clan politics, Bluefeather's relationship with Crowtail remained rocky. The two bickered constantly, and eventually stopped seeing each other. He instead fell for Mellowbug, and eventually the two became mates in secret along the Clans' journey to the new territories.

When Ivystar found out about his relationship with Mellowbug, she imprisoned the she-cat and, enraged with another public embarrassment brought to her by the Medicine Cat, began plotting to kill Bluefeather. Aware his time was up, he helped Mellowbug escape into the wilderness, and was hunted by Ivystar until he was killed.

#### Ghosthood

After his death, Bluefeather realized he hadn't gone to StarClan, but rather entered a purgatory-like state; stuck between the waking world and the afterlife. He followed Mellowbug throughout her journey, and eventually ended up in the Farlands, where he watched over his kits - Fin, Mud and Lilykit - as they grew. His time came to an end once Widowstride attacked Mellowbug and her leader. He tried to save Mellowbug's life, but was instead killed by Sulfurstar, the cat who had killed so many of his Clan back in the Farlands.
