## History

### Roleplay

Ripplepool is the current medicine cat of WillowClan. He was born to Rainsplash and the son of Thornstar himself, Hawktalon. Ripplepool was born with Dewshine, his sister, and formerly traine Dustypaw from his own clan and Glacierpaw of TundraClan. He had lost confidence after losing Slatepudddle’s life once she had kits, he felt like he failed TundraClan and all the clans at once. A heavy feeling hard to carry.

He gives Juniperpaw(berry) her full medicine cat name as he develops his familiar emotions for her in the making.

he has had a great time talking about medicine cats stuff with Juniperpaw as she teaches him most of his herb knowledge.

As he soon becomes a medicine cat, he gains more medical strength and spiritual strength and a bond with StarClan, sometimes he doesn't even know what comes out of his mouth, but he does know he’s on the right path.

**Ripplepool** has done well with his training and now is at the Moon Willow, finally after the flood and plague, he is hoping for StarClan to show him what to do. As Shadowchaser had returned he had gotten his first apprentice, Dustypaw, and instead of a good omen, StarClan sent him a horrible Dream, Flamepaw had destroyed the forest and the clans.

At his first Moon Willow Half Moon meeting, he had the same dream about Flamepaw, but with a prophecy. He then decides to mentor the new medicine cat apprentice Glacierpaw of TundraClan and along with his own apprentice Dustypaw.

He quickly rushes to TundraClan camp to help Slatepuddle deliver her kits but he failed to contain her bloodloss so she died after naming Poolkit after him. He felt hollow and like he betrayed the clans all at once after this. He returned to camp only to find that Stormstreak retired to the elders' den. Though he falls asleep and receives a dreadful prophecy about Flamepaw:

Blood, the same dream as before. Flaming forest, a scorching, Bodies, echos. And Flamepaw. She was followed by a shadow, she burned her eyes into his pelt and words echoed. Beware the Flames. He gasped. Smoke filled his gaze. *Escape the Smoke, Fire, the Flames.* He started to run but was pinned. *Beware the Fire burning inside, Flames burn, Cats thrive.*

Then He wakes and decides to tell Shadowchaser, who agrees to watch Flamepaw. Though Skyshadow decides to quarrel with the deputy and Medicine cat about keeping secrets from her, though Medicine cat business is kept secret for reasons of not startling the clan. He quarrels with Flamepaw before leaving and he felt bad for her after.

The Starflower patrol leaves to BreezeClan first and he tells Tabbypaw about what happened after the Moon Willow after telling Swiftstar about Mistystar’s Problems and ends up not feeling good still. He doesn’t know why. Though he might want to talk to Shadowchaser.

As they returned Ripplepool doesn’t get any rest as Skyshadow lads up to him. He wasn’t in the mood but shown his tiredness as she asked about Flamepaw. As always. He tells her about some part of the prophecy “Beware the Flames” and ends up talking to himself after. Not before Juniperpaw asks a flattering question. She appears not to know if she should be a warrior or medicine cat. So he tells her wisely and tiredly to follow her heart and ends up finally getting sleep.

.....

Not until Oakpaw returns with Mothpaw’s body as he treated her and then she had gone off somewhere already. He joins Shadowchaser with a conversation with Mistystar though she says she might have to “go” somewhere soon? Odd, but he will be sure to keep an eye on her. He then pads up to Shadowchaser— yet still super tired— and decides to tell him about what happened wile he was gone.

Ripplepool then realizes with Shadowchaser that Mistystar had left after looking. Then the apprentice patrol of Birdpaw, Stonepaw, and Mothpaw end up returning and Ripplepool is forced to tell the tom what happened to Mistystar. Sadly.

A moon after Ashbreeze brings young Wolfkit from TundraClan into his den and he does his best to help the kit as he doesn’t realize he knows the little kit from Slatepuddle’s kitting. He later realizes it when talking about it with Stormstreak.

He is then approached by Juniperpaw later as she takes the path of a medicine cat instead of a warrior and he suggests going to the moon Willow for her ceremony, that’s when his feelings return. She suddenly asks if he’d be the one to give her her name which surprises him as in a Dream with Sagenose he stops the tom from giving her her name and gives her the name Juniperberry.

As they take a long trip back to camp they get her herbs and hunt for a while and as they enter he looks for Shadowchaser but fails to see the big tom. Though takes a nap, he wakes and suddenly sees Shadowchaser tell him about Wolfpaw and Juniperberry. Though a few after patrols where selected. Dewshine accompanied him in herb sorting.

Rainsplash, his mother, then pads to them and asks to take a walk. Ripplepool was suspicious. Once she tells about their father, Ripplepool fumes, why hadn’t she just said it before? Huh! Why would she mate with a ThornClan tom! Especially the son of Thornstar! He is so confused and angry, he runs back to camp and shreds his nest,

Two moons later

He's found accidentally shredding herbs and just genuinely mad.

But later during the Pack Attack, well, he loses lots of cats and Dustypaw, who was like a son to him. And he grieves for ever until during the gathering Juniperberry is killed too, along with the kidnapping of his daughter.... but he pulls through just enough to held Dewshine have her kits.

As later he knows he's being destracted and not the best cat he can be, medicine cat wise, as he's gathering some saffron and mallow he finds Mudkit- Mudkit finds him so he can look at Dandelionkit as the two then return to camp, Ripplepool planning to speak to StarClan for their guidence in his failures.

He goes to the Moon Willow to meet his mother, and in the end, he feels more confident, more brave and less fearful, knowing StarClan would be with him til the end. After all, no one's really gone. And he has a Clan to save, his kit and Dewshine's kits to protect, his path laid out. Finally knowing his place.

At the next Moon Willow Meeting he asks questions about Baypaw to Glacierpaw and they share around, as Moonpaw is Renamed Moonshade, Ripplepoll names Glacierpaw Glacierheart in honor if his heart of stone and bravery in these dark times, Though sadly Wintertree dies later of a sickness, as the medicine cats say their goodbyes, Ripplepoll reveals privately to Glacierheart that Baypaw is his daughter, a plan forming in his head as to get her back at all costs.
