Thornpaw

**Thornpaw** is a tortoiseshell tabby she-cat with green eyes.

She is the only child of the late warriors Shellfoot and Oakheart, born as **Thornkit**. She adored her parents and was often spoiled, the she-cat enjoyed the company of both her parents and even more so she enjoyed learning the ability to heal others.

Thornpaw is a depicted as a nice she-cat who wants the best for everyone around her. She isn't all that into politics and even more so seems to have an interest in the young. Despite loving her job as a medicine cat, Thornpaw has always wanted a family of her own and seems to be doubting herself as a medicine cat because of this.

## Description

### Appearance

Thornpaw is a natural pretty she-cat, sharing a lot of mother's stature and appearance. She has short, thick fur that seems to give her that 'healthy' look and makes her look a bit bigger than she actually is. Of course, she eats enough to show her healthy appearance as well. Her pelt seems to shine with a healthy gloss. Her facial features match her mother's and she doesn't seem to resemble her father whatsoever. She has tall ears that seem to give more of an appearance to her narrow and elegant facial features.
The she-cat has the appearance of a light dusty brown tabby with the lightest of ginger patches much like the appearance of her mother, who she is said to look almost exactly like the late queen. Thornpaw is a 'fatty' she-cat, naturally having more fat than muscle but this might be just because she does not train ad a warrior but as a medicine cat in which their number one goal is healing. She has light green eyes, the color of a leaf as winter approaches, faded and dull.
As led to her name Thorn-, it is suspected that she is in fact named as such after the dusky appearance of her pelt which share a close color to a thornbush.
### Character

Overall, Thornpaw is a remarkable gal being a mix of both of her parents personality-wise. She shares her mother's love for a family and dreams of having one of her own. This leads her to doubt her capability as a medicine cat as she fears she might compromise her duty to her Clan.
She is a gentle creature that couldn't imagine ever harming another soul, which might be one of the leading factors to her becoming a medicine cat. Despite her name suggesting she might have a bit of a cranky personality, she is quite the opposite of her namesake.
Thornpaw holds a dear love for her Clanmates and would protect them at any cost. She isn't as happy-go-lucky as her mentor but they seem to be somewhat similiar in character. She is a very lax and laid back she-cat who enjoys walks and sunbathing quite a bit. Some have often shown doubt innher capability as a Clan cat in general stating she acts more like a Kittypet than anything but don't let her nice personality fool you. She can be quite the savage when need be, especially when compared to the soft life of house-cats.
### Abilities

As a medicine cat, Thornpaw has grear knowledge when it comes to healing. It being something natural for her, especially considering she could never stand harming a soul. Perhaps, the very reason she would not make the best warrior. Her fast weight gain can also be a leading factor, especially since she prefers to eat and laze about. She isn't the lightest cat and can be seen as more of a chunby she-cat than anything.
She however seems to be your average hunter, considering food is about on of the few things that actually motivates her. Many of her Clan and outside often make fun of her eating habits and compare her to a house-cat which could be their first fatal mistake.
