BlueClan's Bearings RP, GreenClan's Ghetto RP

**Hashwing**, also known as **Hash**, is a dedicated and passionate medicine cat of GreenClan.

## Physical Description

Hashwing is a thick, short, and sleek-furred, fiery orange tabby she-cat with dark, wide tabby stripes and bright, warm, vivid, emerald-green eyes. She has large white paws, a white chest, and a dark orange tail-tip, as well as neat, dark orange ears and barely-visible streaks of slightly darker fur near her eyes.

## Personality

Hashwing is popular with her Clanmates, being an efficient medicine cat and having a responsible, trustworthy personality. Although she showed interest in warrior training from the start, her friendly warmth and intelligence, as well as her sharp, detailed memory for herbs and their uses, secured her role as a medicine cat. Eventually, her determination to become a warrior faded, replaced with a passion for her medicine cat duties and a development to become an efficient, responsible member of GreenClan.

## History

### Overview

* Hashwing collects herbs by the BlueClan border.
* She has a brief exchange of greetings with Acornspark and Reedpaw.
* Hashwing reports to Ivystar as she enters the GreenClan camp.
* Hashwing asks Mintpaw to collect marigold leaves, and the latter agrees.

### BlueClan's Bearings RP

The first scene with Hashwing begins in the border between BlueClan and GreenClan territories, though in Reedpaw's perspective. Hashwing is heavily inferred to be collecting herbs, as she places them down on a thick patch of grass, making them difficult to identify, as the thick undergrowth breaks up the outlines of the leaves, which Reedpaw believes is a smart tactic. After a short, friendly greeting from Reedpaw, Hashwing introduces herself, and questions the two mediators if there was anything wrong in BlueClan.

As Acornspark responds that everything was good and questions GreenClan's inner health, Hashwing nods, stating that they were doing good, and purrs that the prey was running into their paws, which Reedpaw is doubtful of. Hashwing then continues, and politely asks how BlueClan was doing, before giving Reedpaw and Acornspark a last friendly farewell and picking up her bundle of herbs, heading back into the lush GreenClan forest.

### GreenClan's Ghetto RP

The next scene with Hashwing starts with a brief conversation between the tabby medicine cat and the GreenClan leader, Ivystar, who notices Hashwing entering the GreenClan camp. As Ivystar questions Hashwing about BlueClan's status, the latter shakes her head, although her fur tingles at her leader's malicious grin. After placing her herbs in the cave and hanging the oak leaves to dry in one of the only sunny clearings in GreenClan territory, next to the medicine cat's den, Hashwing reports that Acornspark only said that BlueClan was well, and that it was only a brief exchange of greetings and nothing more.

Hashwing then twitches her ears as she hears faint pawsteps outside the apprentice's den, inferring that the latter was behind her. She turns to see Mintpaw, a warrior apprentice in GrenClan, walking out of the den, seeming as though she was trying to find someone to talk to. Hashwing muses that it was better than sitting there and not getting her conversation any further, with the first pronoun in her thought referring to her conversation with Ivystar. With a warm, friendly purr and a gentle voice, Hashwing asks Mintpaw if there was anything she wanted to say, silently reminding herself that she was a medicine cat, and although she may not be perfect, it was her duty to make sure cats were feeling physically and mentally comfortable.

Mintpaw responds positively, inferring that she was doing fine, and Hashwing nods, relieved that her unsettled thoughts were for nothing, and that Mintpaw was cheerful and seemed comfortable, which she thinks is all that mattered in the comment. The medicine cat then purrs that she was doing fine to answer Mintpaw's question, before noting that she looked as though she needed someone to talk to, which may have been driven from boredom. Hashwing tells that she had a question for Mintpaw, if the latter and her mentor were comfortable with it, and asks if Mintpaw wold like to help her collect marigold leaves.

Hashwing informs Mintpaw of the appearance of marigold by showing her a few stems with their flowers attached, and adds that Mintpaw looked as though she wanted to talk to someone, so she thought that she may have been bored, although Hashwing also tells Mintpaw that, if she was busy, she could tell her. As Mintpaw responds positively, Hashwing further informs Mintpaw that she could find marigold on the banks of the freshwater streams that flowed into BlueClan's ocean, before purring a wish for Mintpaw to have good luck.

After Mintpaw finishes the favor, Hashwing gives her an impressed nod, and purrs her surprise at the apprentice's speed. She adds that her mentor had every right to be proud of her, and that the medicine cat was thankful for her time to help her, before wishing Mintpaw good luck on her training that day. As Hashwing gives Mintpaw a last, friendly nod and heads in the direction of the medicine cat's den, she feels another wave of impression at the apprentice's speed and intelligence, noting how Mintpaw had been able to identify the marigold leaves in a location on the edges of GreenClan territory, simply after a few moments of looking at them in the GreenClan camp, and how she had been able to bring them back in less than a quarter-hour by being swift on her paws.

Hashwing silently thinks that even Ivystar, their leader, would have been grateful to have her as a warrior one day, before her fur tinges once more at the gray she-cat's malicious grin and she shudders. Hashwing wonders what was going on with Ivystar, and why the GreenClan leader thought that she needed a proof of strength for a strong leadership. The medicine cat notes that, when Ivystar had asked her about BlueClan, she looked as though she wanted to plan an attack on them in that moment.

## Trivia

### Mistakes

* Hashwing has mistakenly replaced Acornspark in a statement from Reedpaw's perspective.
* Hashwing mistakenly describes Ivystar as wanting to plan an attack on *that* in that moment, with the pronoun referring to BlueClan. However, it should've said that Ivystar looked as though she wanted to plan an attack on *them* in that moment, not on *that*.
