Template:TFC Cat Bio Template

## **Physical Description**

A tall and feminine she-cat with a snowy white pelt. Rich dark chocolate brown patches are located across her body but most commonly her back and tail. She has three noticeable scars one on her chest, one on her back left leg, and one small one on her shoulder. Her ears and noticeable one brown paw are both the same colour as her patches. Mintrose has a stubbed tail and clear blue eyes.

## **Personality**

Mintrose is a very sophisticated, intelligent she-cat who is very ambitious and passionate. She can have a bit of a cold-exterior since she is short-tempered and emotional preferring to keep her emotions safe but when you get her to open up to you she can be incredibly reliable, humorous, and warm-hearted but might have tendencies to be over-protective. Mintrose can be very cunning, unforgiving, and reckless and secretly hold grudges against cats. Even so, she is very sensitive and emotional.

Mintrose has rather softened up after her coma, as she seems to be more welcoming to her clanmates and has grown to have a sarcastic sense of humor. She is still very ambitious and passive-aggressive as she often gets into fights or a negative mood with cats who challenge her opinions.

## **Life**

### Kithood

Mint's biological parents had sent the newly born Mint down a river into Riverclan's old territory; she nearly drowned to death in the rapids of the river, but Pebblestorm, who would later become her adoptive mother, saved her. Mint is taken under the wing of Pebblestorm and is renamed Mintkit. Mintkit has a rather lonely kithood but she occupies herself by testing her agility and strength. Not much occurs during Mintkit's kithood until she turns 6 moons and is promoted to an apprentice.

### Apprenticeship

Mintpaw's mentor was chosen to be Pebblestorm, Her apprenticeship was short-lived in the former territory as the violent fire burnt down their territory.

During the great journey, Mintpaw became lost in a crowd of cats and ends up bumping into another lost Windclan apprentice called Bumblepaw.

They traveled together for a great deal of time during the journey, building up a close frinedship. One night, whilst Bumblepaw was out hunting, he was attacked by a fox; hearing his screams, Mintpaw rushed to his aid and beaten the fox, she suffered two major wounds that eventually became infected due to lack of treatment.

A few days later, Mintpaw reunited with her sister, Hawkpaw, and made her way back to Riverclan with her.

Mintpaw discovered her mother, Pebblestorm was pregnant with a new litter of kits, and managed to get her burns and wounds treated before they caused her more harm.

Mintpaw goes on a walk away from Riverclan's makeshift camp and came along another Windclan member called Ravenpaw they talked for a bit and Mintpaw notifies to Ravenpaw about Bumblepaw.

The next few days, Mintpaw convinced Bumblepaw to stay with RiverClan until WindClan picked him up, on his first day at the makeshift camp he met Mintpaw's mother, Mintpaw talks about how she saved him from a fox and he gets embarrassed so they break into a small fight.

Pebblestorm gives birth to her liter early and Mintpaw tried to aid Pebblestorm during birth, as well as her sister Hawkfire (formerly Hawkpaw but she had earned her warrior name) they broke into a fight on who would stay with Pebblestorm while their father Rabbitbounce and Badgerstrike go gathered herbs. Mintpaw convinced her father Rabbitbounce to make her sister calm down and soon after Hawkfire stormed out the den.

Out on a walk Mintpaw bumped into her grandmother Fearless and she discovered about her grandmother's pet rabbit, she wanted one too so they went to the rabbit den where Fearless found her rabbit and they end up finding a bunny what Mintpaw names Dandelion.

A moon later Mintpaw was older than your usual apprentice but she still hadn't earned her warrior name from Drizzlestar this slowly driving her mad to prove herself worthy of having a warrior name. During that time she fought against a trespassing rogue called Strike giving her an idea of what to do.

Mintpaw briefly met Scout

Then coming across her sister Hawkfire who she gets in a fight with about her impatience on becoming a warrior.

The next day Mintpaw briefly met with Bumblepaw who was now Bumbletail, they shared a few subtle romantic gestures before separating to return to their patrols.

Mintpaw spread prey around the territory driving foxes and badgers into RiverClan, she fought one and prooved herself victorious.

Mintpaw finally had her warrior ceremony and is over-struck by guilt about her sister Hawkfire's recent death and admitted to the clan that she spread prey around the territory and drove the foxes into RiverClan. Some of the clan turned on her but she still got her warrior name Mintrose.

### Adult Life

After Mintrose admitted to her betryal she began to have several mental breakdowns as Streamstep and Fearless both try to comfort her. She soon found out that her mother Pebblestorm was killed by foxes sending her into a small panic attack and her brother and sister Beechkit and Birdrunner comforted her. Mintrose was approached by her mother's dead spirit that comforted her and gave her the confidence to do better in her life, she talked to Beechkit briefly and comforts her about their mother before bringing her to the nursery to rest.

## **Notable Quotes**

"It never hurts to be patient" -*MintRose to Beechkit while teaching her fighting moves*

"I had a sister as well, she died because of my arrogance. Maybe if I had been a kinder cat she wouldn't have committed her ending fate. We began to hate each other when our mother was in labor with our siblings, we were in a fight on who would stay with her and my father had to bring my sister out of the den... It just grew from there... One day I plotted something that could of lead my clan to doom which ended up true and she tried to stop me. My hate shadowed over how great she was a cat." -*Mintrose to Mintbee after Dapple's death*

"Sleep tight now my darling, I love you too."-*One of Mintrose's last words to Twig during her daughter's death.*

"Galewhisper you'll race back to camp and get reinforcements if anything goes wrong, Beechstorm you watch out for any Shadowclan cats who attempt to attack us, Mosslight and I will reason with Shadowclan, and Hickoryfrost will be our main fighter just in case." "Most of those roles will just be for back-up since we really all are just trying to peacefully bring Raven back to Riverclan."- *Mintrose directing the Ravenpaw rescue patrol*

"I never see you much these days... always off somewhere without giving a single fox-dung about how other cats feel about that. What are you hiding Wicked? What are you hiding from me?"- *Mintrose to Wicked, during their private conversation.*
