Softweb

## Appearance & Personality

Softweb is a small, but very fluffy she-cat with white fur as her main pelt color. Across her back, face, tail and legs are light gray spots. She has pure white whiskers which can blend in with her pelt strangely due to the similar color of whisker to main fur color. Her eyes are a sharp, unusual violet in color and her tail is fairly long as well as fluffy like the rest of her pelt.

She may appear fluffy, but Softweb is a spitfire. She's a rough, edged medicine cat who's dedicated to her duties and would probably prefer if you stayed out of her way. She talks to herself and can come off as weird, though she doesn't really care what you think. Softweb doesn't do favorites, but if you catch her in a rare good mood, you'll see she's just a gooey marshmallow who loves her job.

## Brief History

Softweb was the sole medicine cat to Dark and Rainbow's groups until Icestar came along. She helped to rebuild the clans with Icestar, then later took on the role of medicine cat under Icestar in the rebuilt ThunderClan.

## Detailed History

#### Kithood

Softkit was born into ThunderClan, at that time, the only clan that existed. She took an immediately liking to medicine and herbs, the current medicine cat also intriguing her; a she-cat named Sweetbriar. Softkit had a fairly normal kithood; listening to elder stories, playing with the other kits, but she also spent a large chunk of her kithood in the medicine cat den. Eventually, Sweetbriar offered her the position of Medicine Cat Apprentice when she came of age. She eagerly accepted, wanting to impress Sweetbriar and the warriors of the clan.

### Medicine Cat Apprenticeship

Softpaw worked hard as a medicine cat apprentice. Sweetbriar taught her herbs and even some poisons. All seemed normal, until when Softpaw was 11 moons, and witnessed Sweetbriar's snap/change. That was the first time Softpaw ever witnessed first-paw murder, and it scarred her for life. Softpaw shut up tight, becoming coldhearted and full of scorn. She no longer cared what others thought of her, and seemed to push everyone away.

### Medicine Cat Life (Old ThunderClan)

Softweb took on her name for her odd nature (and tenancies to rather spend time organizing cobwebs than actually interacting with other cats). She felt almost no remorse when Sweetbriar died, almost a sense of relief. Her life within the clan under the leadership of Willowstar was calm, though when she died without a deputy, Softweb's world seemed to shatter. ThunderClan, the only standing clan, seemed to fall into ruin. Even more so now that two other groups had formed, and Softweb had been helping heal their ill and injured too. She stopped traveling to the groups as frequent and instead turned to ThunderClan to try and guide them. However, this stone-hearted medicine cat was never meant to be a leader. Her attempts seemed to fail and every turn- no leader had risen to the occasion and no sign had been given by their ancestors. Just when Softweb had nearly lost all hope- Softweb recieved a prophecy;

"One shall stride, unknowingly, across a path woven with stars, They shall defy the odds set after coming from afar. From water to storm, 8 more to receive, Let the cold aide you when it comes and success you shall achieve."

And that was when she arrived. Icestar. Alongside the she-cat, Softweb had a new goal. It was no longer to lift ThunderClan out of ruin, it was to assist Icestar. She helped Icestar form the five clans, though when asked, will tell you that it was mostly Icestar's doing.

### Medicine Cat Life (New ThunderClan Part 1)

Softweb grew to like Icestar and how she lead. She became quite close with the she-cat, though never really told Icestar about her old mentor. She typically gave a vague answer or lied about being trained by ThunderClan; ashamed that her mentor had gone to the dark forest. She connected quickly with Mellowbug; a cat who had come from the farlands, and the one who became new SkyClan's first medicine cat. Together, they found Cheetahpath of ShadowClan, Barkwing of RiverClan, and Thistlebrook of WindClan to become the first medicine cats.

Eventually, Softweb sought out an apprentice. She selected Duskkit, whom became Duskpaw. Though the tom later decided the life of a medicine cat was not for him.

### Trespasser Life

Life was calm and peaceful... until many moons later. At a gathering, a new she-cat came. One from beyond the clans. She claimed to be The Median, who had been sent by StarClan. Softweb and the other medicine cats were cautious, especially when she deemed Icestar's way of living "wrong". She dubbed all ThunderClanners to be trespassers; Softweb included.

Despite this, a few weeks after, she selected Spinpaw to become her apprentice.

Moons went by as a trespasser and Softweb grew more and more angry, though did little about this. How could she, with Overseers from ShadowClan constantly over her shoulder? She stayed close to Icestar and hoped to StarClan they'd find a way out. Suddenly, one night, she saw a spirit. This spirit lead her to the Moongarden, where she was told ThunderClan was no longer safe and she had to seek shelter in RiverClan.

### Medicine Cat Life (New ThunderClan Part 2)

Though, The Median came and went. Softweb was glad to see her go. She returned to ThunderClan and gave Spinpaw her full name; Spinheart, knowing her days were numbered, especially with the feeling of Sweetbriar watching her and her former mentor visiting her in her dreams.

Unfortunately, the peace was not meant to be, as Rosebeam, now Rosestar, made an alliance with WindClan, and the transfer of the glade was seen by Tigertide, RiverClan's Deputy, as a weakness in WindClan and ThunderClan, as RiverClan knew little about their alliance. A few battles later, a war sparked. Softweb, though she didn't approve, attended a few of the battles, though most notable, the final battle.

Rivuletstar lead RiverClan to meet up with ThunderClan and RiverClan. Softweb followed Rosestar, though had a bad feeling. The battle commenced, though midway, Softweb was struck down by Glitch at the instruction of Sweetbriar, who then guided Softweb to the border while they shared a final mentor-apprentice conversation. Sweetbriar attempted to drag Softweb into the dark forest, but Icestar arrived and brought Softweb to StarClan where she's lived to this day.
