## Physical Description

Mintbee was the runt, so, despite her heavy Maine Coon heritage she is quite small, her sister Dapple being nearly double her size. Her fur has darkened with maturity, gaining more of a russet tint to it, and she has a white muzzle and underbelly with black paws and tears, as well as some black curly stripes and other markings. One of her legs is crooked and she has three scars across her nose as well as a small chunk missing from her right ear. Her eyes are large, and a bright minty green color.

## Personality

As a kit Mintbee was unfailingly cheerful, mischievous, and optimistic. After a disastrous injury and a huge fight with her sister her personality deepened. Like her great aunt Mintflame she is VERY moody, and will go from playing a prank to sobbing over nothing. Even so, Mintpaw is always determined and loyal to her friends.

## Skills and Weaknesses

Mintbee has a hard time hunting, fighting, and climbing because of her leg, but she can swim very well, due to the fact she has webbed paws. She also has a particular skill for playing genius pranks, and matchmaking.

## Life

### Kithood

Mintkit was born as one of two siblings to her mother Breeze, a loner who had lung cancer. Breeze, seeing that her daughter was much smaller than average knew that she wouldn’t be able to survive as a rogue and brought Mint to Shadowclan, where she was found and given the name Mintkit, due to the fact that she looked much like Mintflame, a old dead and gone warrior. Little did anyone know that she was actually partially descended from this cat. Only a moon after Mintkit had lived in Shadowclan a fire came, burning down their old homes and resulting in the clan cats embarking on a long journey. On the Great Journey Mintkit made many friends, a couple being Mosspaw and Stormpaw. She also became very close with a Thunderclan queen named Silvermoon, who ended up adopting her and moving to Shadowclan. When Mintkit was about four moons old she dragged Mosspaw with her to go see the “moo moos” grazing nearby. There she accidentally angered the bull in the herd and he threw her against a barn wall, shattering some of her ribs and her back leg. Snow, a young cat who had been trained in the art of medicine made Mintkit her number one project, and tended to her wounds for moons. Sometime before this disaster Mintkit made an enemy of Mudkit, and the two ended up fighting, the kit-war ending in injuries on both sides: Mintkit with three scratches across her nose and a chunk of her ear missing. Around the age of 6 moons old Mintkit discovered that she had a sister: Dapple. Only to find out that Dapple was a pretty harsh cat, saying that no, she would never think of Mintkit as anything more than a job. This broke Minty’s heart. Due to the Great Journey Mintkit didn’t become an apprentice until they had settled into their new camp, she was then 7 moons old.

### Apprenticeship

After such an eventful kithood Mintpaw had changed much, but not all the way. She enjoyed talking to a sister-figure in her life: Violetbird, and constantly teased Violetbird about Yarrowheart, declaring that they would end up together one day. She also played a genius prank with her brother Clearpaw where they covered all of camp in snails. Another notable prank is when Mintpaw and Honeykit hid bugs all over camp. Not all was fun and games though. Mintpaw was having doubts about herself, being unable to do things as well as others due to Er small size and her deformed leg. She would constantly have breakdowns, exhausted from pretending she was fine. On top of all of this Mintpaw was beginning to find she was attracted to both toms and she-cats, and had a few crushes on a couple of her friends, but was unsure how to proceed. Mintpaw also recieced a visit from her Starclan mother Breeze, where Breeze begged for forgiveness. Mintpaw refused to forgive her, stating that if she didn’t want her all those moons ago she couldn’t have her now. A few moons later Mintpaw was playing with her best friend Stormpaw and Stormpaw was bit by a viper. Very distressed due to the fact that Stormpaw was her best friend and crush, she brought Stormpaw to camp where she was treated by Snowpaw. During her kithood and apprenticeship Mintpaw also became very close with Dashpaw, the daughter of the ate medicine cat Ripplefeather. Mintpaw would also talk often to her great aunt Mintflame.

### Adult Life

Mintpaw received her warrior name (Mintbee) at 15 moons. She was a hurricane of emotions, brokenhearted over her adoptive brother Clearpaw’s death, yet overjoyed that her crush Stormriddle had moved to Shadowclan. Some days later she went on a search for her friend Dashpaw who had been missing only to discover her dead body in a cave by the ocean. A sorrowful Mintbee buried her with her Thunderclan friend Duskfall there, helping her. After this episode Mintbee returned to camp where she finally got the spunk to ask Stormriddle to be her mate. Stormriddle accepted and the two played a beautiful prank to celebrate their mateship. Minty also convinced Violetbird, her sister figure, to have kits and met up with her kithood friend Moss-shade where they decided to meet once a moon.
