Personality
Overview: Berrypaw is an up-and-coming she-cat who was found as an abandoned kitten in a berry bush. She had no scent of any Clan on her, and any scent trails from other cats that may have been related to her were long gone. As Stagheart (the warrior who found her) would tell it, it was like she was "dropped from StarClan itself". She can be timid and passive, having experienced some hostility from certain cats; but overall she is very kind and thoughtful and has a huge heart. She aspires to do good in the world and for her Clan, even if not everyone accepts her.
After being promoted to medicine cat apprentice and enduring the 3v1 raid, the mountain exile, and her beloved mentor's resignation, Berrypaw was just about losing all hope. It only amplified when the leader she'd grown a bit closer to was driven out of the Clan. Just when all was lost, she was taken to the Starcave with the new leader and given her full medicine cat name. Now, despite her doubts and fears, she feels a bit more ready and able to step into this new role and bring a spark of hope and stability to a Clan that needs it the most. A shining light in the dark:
