## Appearance and Personality

#### Appearance

Swallowfrost is a pretty blue-gray and white she-cat with green eyes. She often has random leaves caught on her pelt, despite her undying efforts to get them out. Her fur is long and gets tangled easily.

#### Personality

At first glance, Swallowfrost seems like a sweet, soft-spoken medicine cat, but the longer you know her, the more of her true personality you get to see. She is completely dedicated to her role as medicine cat, leaving little time for socialization. She takes pride in her work and feels like she's missing something but isn't quite sure what. She tries to keep a good relationship with Wingbreak and Stoatthroat as they're basically her last remaining family.

Also, she's an absolute troll, as seen in the case of Sprucestripe's injury.

## Backstory

#### Kithood

Swallowkit was born to Bramblethorn and Doecreek of FallClan. She lived there for awhile until Bramblethorn was killed by a fox. Doecreek couldn't continue living in FallClan after losing her mate, so she took baby Swallowkit to OrchidClan and raised her there.

From a young age, Swallowkit had an interest in herbs and healing. She still wanted to be a warrior, but the idea of being valued and respected as a healer called to her, so she asked to be the medicine cat apprentice. The old medicine cat agreed, despite already having a brand new medicine cat, Riverhawk.

#### Apprenticeship

Swallowpaw became a medicine cat apprentice. She was diligent in her studies and had a good memory for herbs. She befriended most of the cats her age and was out play-fighting or talking to them any chance she got. She got her first big test when she was nine moons old and Doecreek fell ill. Swallowpaw tried desperately to save her mother's life, but nothing worked. Doecreek died and Swallowpaw changed. She got a lot quieter, hanging out less with her friends and more with her herbs. She was determined to never lose a patient again.

Oh, and she was an apprentice around the same time as Myrtlepelt. She really hated her.

#### Medicine Cat Life

Swallowpaw earned the name Swallowfrost and became a full medicine cat. Then her mentor died. It was sad. But also not terrible, because it was just her and Riverhawk now and that was okay with Swallowfrost.

She tried to avoid socializing whenever possible, figuring that growing attached to cats will just make it harder when she finally loses them. She also joined the OrchidClan rebellion.

Also, Swallowfrost started training Pricklepaw shortly after Riverhawk's death. She hated it, she hated him, and she wasn't super upset when he died of plague. She knew she should feel bad about it, but moons of cutting herself off from other cats and her emotions kinda made that impossible.

After Pricklepaw's death, she got a new apprentice, Yellowpaw. Yellowpaw died when Swallowfrost was thirty-one moons old.
