Medicine Cat Application For:
NIGHTKIT!
Name: Nightkit
Age: She is currently five moons, will be six moons in a few days, and her apprentice ceremony is this meeting.
NIGHTKIT
Riverclan Kit | Almost 6 moons | Empathetic, curious, responsible, detailed, great memory | Purrks: Herbal Knowledge Tier 1 | I will probably get her Bewitched as well
Why?: Nightkit is kind, and very observant. She notices things that others don't, and will take actions she seems appropriate for the situation. Though she is hopeful, and keeps herself and everyone around her in good spirits, she is realistic, and understands the implications of different actions taken, especially since she is very wise for her age. Night is polite, and super curious, trying not to overwhelm others with questions, but also being determined to learn everything she can.
She loves herbs, so much that she even smells like them, specifically Rosemary. Her presence is calming, as proven time and time again, and she will offer a listening ear and kind words when she can't offer anything else. Her memory is excellent, and it doesn't take much for things she's been told to stick with her. Her dedication is evident in everything she does, and she will stick out a task until the end, no matter how difficult it gets. Her heart belongs with Riverclan, and her perseverance is endless. Though she can be lonely, and a little shy, because both of her parents died when she was very young, this she-cat will step in when she deems it necessary, and though she is kind, if need be, Night will be firm and unyielding, to make sure her patients get the care they need.
Positive Vibes: Nightkit loves Berry, and has already interacted with her a few times. Herbs are her passion, something she and the Medic share, and she eagerly takes any information taught to her and absorbs it easily. Being naturally curious, Night asks questions easily, and is always looking to improve, to be better, and to come up with creative ideas for things if need be. Riverclan is her heart, of utmost importance to her, and she will do anything for it. Growing relations with her clanmates, Nightkit is slowly gaining more friends, and people are drawn to her quiet but caring personality.
Patience, positivity, and curiosity are staples in her life, and all of these reflect in her actions. She is both a visual and an auditory learner, quick to remember and ask different levels of knowledge. She would uplift Riverclan with her quick thinking and gentle demeanor, and her quirky way of constant questions may annoy some, but ultimately is a tool that she wields with top skill and certainty.
Alas, Every Character Has Flaws: I'm gonna be honest here. Nightkit is a beautiful child, but everyone has their flaws, and she is no exception.
Though she's totally fine with blood and death and painful things, if too much time is spent investing in a cause only for it to be lost, she can get very emotional. Though she hides well when she wants to, she will definitely cry about it later. But nothing stops her once she has a goal in mind, and she will focus on it with a single-minded intensity, so that she does it to the best of her ability. Because of this drive, she may be a little.. intense. But the main takeaway from this point is that if she feels she can help Riverclan better, then she will lose sleep and food over it, possibly needing a reminder that she too, needs to help herself.
Herbal Knowledge: Star already knows about five different herbs, thanks to both her Purrk, and the things she picks up from Berryshine. She is an open learner, taking and making something from nothing, and will pounce on every opportunity to learn. She is passionate about herbs and healing, and if someone asked, she could go on about it for hours. She shares this love with Berry, and I think the two get along very well. She is a quick understander, once her questions have been answered, and is very adaptable, working to replace something quickly if a certain needed herb is absent. She is organized and neat, having everything in convenient spaces that are well maintained. She has an excellent memory, and knows exactly what to do and when- as long as she's prepared, and taught properly beforehand.
Loyalty: Star is loyal, loyal to a fault sometimes, and Riverclan is at the heart of that. She defends it fiercely in the way only she can, and won't stand for nonsense. When it comes to patients, she will get very protective over them, depending on the severity of the injury, and won't let anyone interfere if she deems it unsafe. She will hide her own feelings if the patient feels uncomfortable or something, but generally, she believes it's better to show feelings. It makes the space feel.. safer, more open. Easier to relax when the one treating you has a friendly face and small-talk, rather than an emotionless demeanor.
IC HR Relations: Nightkit here has interacted with Berryshine quite a bit, and I feel like their dynamic is very good. She shares a passion and love for herbs with the Medic, and though they are both rather quiet and shy, she would definitely come out of her shell a little with a position that means so much to her.
As for Sunheart and Owlstar, Star hasn't interacted with them personally, but she holds a deep respect for them.
Future: As she grows, especially with the role, she will slowly become more confident. Her ability to remain positive may be tested, but it will prove her resilience, and grow her ability to think straight under pressure. I have no interest at all in killing her off, because she's very close to my heart, and part of me will remain with her, always. She may have a few bumps in the road, but doesn't everyone?
One plot ideas I have for her is that one her first patients is a major confidence boost for her. it might be her friend, who gets injured, and she has to heal a scratch/wound. She is sure in her abilities, until Star sees the wound. Then she has a moment where she starts to question if shes good enough. But with some encouragement from berryshine, she'll quickly get it over with. The friend praises her, and she practically cries. After that, her confidence will be even better, and she'll be more comfortable with telling cats what to do, and speaking with strangers.
Does She Want To Be Medicine Cat?: Yes. More than anything. It's a secret, lifelong dream of hers. The clan took her in and the queens raised her, even though both her parents were gone, and she wants to repay that a thousand times over. Her heart will be in it wholeheartedly, and she will not ever give up. Giving up, and failure, isn't an option when it comes to her home. Star will give it her all, making sure that the least amount of cases possible die or have complications. Nightkit would be living her dream, and she'll make sure Riverclan is bountiful for it.
Backstory: Nightkit was just a little child when her parents (NPC's) died. Her mother died giving birth to her, and her only sibling was stillborn. Her father died in a border skirmish just one moon later, so she's been alone most of her life. The queens of the Nursery took it in turns to take care of her, and though she's grateful, she never really clicked with anyone. Her father was never very close with her, becoming cold and mean after her mother died. Throughout all that, she never stopped loving him. When she met Berryshine, it was like a dream, come true for Star. She sees Berry as a friend, someone to go to, and loves to listen to her teachings. Curiosity has always run in her veins, and she shows that through her questions.
Star had to mature slightly faster than most kits her age. She took care of herself, since no one else would, and was organising her days and schedules long before she could properly talk. Loyalty and kindness are big parts in her life, even back then, and she would help out and play with any kits in the Nursery, paying special attention to those malnourished, maltreated, or simply lonely. Because of this, she is wiser than her years, and this will be shown with the deep thoughts that she rarely shares with others.
Values: Nightkit shares many good values with many good people. Above all, she favours kindness, loyalty, dedication, and learning. She has a passion for herbs and learning, constantly asking questions and experimenting. She is creative and adaptable, quick on her paws, and will not hesitate to try out new herbs and mixes. She is kind to everyone, no matter who they are, and though she may get slightly annoyed if people don't listen when it's serious, she has a calming presence, and makes sure it stays that way. She will always help, and where herbs don't make a difference, talking might, so she is always ready to listen and talk if need be. In fact, she enjoys it, because seeing others' faces as weights are lifted from their shoulders is one of the most rewarding things in the world. After all, the greater the responsibility, the greater the reward.
Loyalty is a massive one for her. Riverclan is her heart and soul, and she wouldn't abandon it if you tried, steadfast in this like no one else. She will be dedicated to her work, finding joy in the simple achievements, simple things, and finding positivity where others see none.
Beliefs: Star believes in Starclan wholeheartedly. Period. She believes every step is guided by a higher power, and that Starclan never truly leaves us. Everything that happens was planned in some way, and will positively impact something in the future, even if she is not there to see it. Part of the reason how she always sees the bright side, even in the darkness, even when reality is crushing. She is realistic, but will always try to find something good about it. Starclan is part of the reason she can do this- They are her light when all else has gone dark. She won't stand for people poking fun at the ancient ancestors, and will promptly explain to them that it is disrespectful. Starclan is one of her strongest beliefs, and no one will ever convince her otherwise.
Gore/Sensitive Topics: Star might be a little intimidated at first, but if she's told its for the good of Riverclan, she's over it and getting it done, no questions asked. Her past experiences with a rather cruel and distant father, have hardened her against such things, and she won't shy away from medium gory wounds. Anything higher than that? She'll just have to work on it.
Other: She doesn't really understand why cats fight to solve problems. In her eyes, there's always another way. A better way. She will be the loving Medicine Cat, but when she needs to be, stern. Her way of handling problems is to approach them from a different direction- If you can't solve something one way, then you just have to find another. She is dedicated, and working on being more sure of herself. Can be a little clumsy, but otherwise if very nimble, and flexible in both body and mind, easily adapting when she needs to.
OOC- My Own View On Things:
Activity: I am really active on here. Warrior Cats is one of my main passions, and this site was one of the first times I could openly dedicate to just that. I'm on every day, with minor exceptions there, but usually I'm online for at least an hour or two. Nightkit is one of my favourite characters, and I'm looking for more interactions for her. I post everyday (except for the rare times I don't) and if you check my post history, you would see just that. I'm basically available all the time, and constantly check this site, responding generally in batches, and then doing whatever gets replied to.
I will stay online for the whole of this if Night gets accepted, and continue my daily routine of checking and responding throughout the day. I am constantly and consistently on, and though I joined the site about two months ago, I'm very familiar with it and plan to stay on it for at least four more years. But hopefully, for long after that!
Behaviour: Positivity! I'm active on here and I'm friendly, welcoming every new user that I can. I help others out where I can, even though others usually get to them first haha, and I do believe that I'm a very good influence/presence on this website. My characters are kind, and if they're not, then I make sure to add in Warnings and OOC apologies for each of their posts. I talk to people, am friendly, and offer to do things where I can.
Previous Infractions: I do not believe I have ever been told off by a HR, or gotten in trouble with staff or a fellow member, but if I'm wrong then please correct me. <3
HR Experience: I've roleplayed one Alt. Clan deputy, and an Alt. Clan leader, as well as Alt. Clan Med. Cat, but I was unable to for very long as the clans soon went dead. Other than that, I haven't had any HR experience under my belt, so I think this would be great for both me and Nightkit. I am superduper active, as stated before, and I believe I would be a very involved High Rank. I would post at least once a day, at
least, and be as positive as possible!
Communication: Much to my frustration, I do not yet have Discord. I hope to get it within a year or two, but apart from that, I'm very active and can communicate effectively in other ways if need be. I'll see what I can do, and if I really try, I can probably get Discord within a month if I'm accepted. So, no worries in the communication department,.. hopefully.
Dedication: I love Nightkit. I am dedicated to her character, and her growth and development, and the way her plots are going. I will not kill her off or adopt her out, and I will keep her in the Medicine Cat position if I get accepted. She will grow with the role, and her personality will steadily develop. I love her, and will definitely not be relinquishing my hold on this beauty or her life, anytime soon.
Gore/Sensitive Topics: I do not mind these at all. I'm not squeamish in the slightest, and in fact I enjoy writing them out. So from me, no problems presented in terms of how gory or gross a topic can be, because I won't care either way. I'll do it all out of love for Star. (Lol) But seriously I don't mind and can participate in any level of gore/terrible topics myself with no compliant.
Love Of Writing: I adore writing. It's a passion of mine, something I do in my spare time. Her posts are getting steadily more detailed as I get into the flow of things, and someday they'll be as long as Lightningstorm and Berryshine's. Someday. I'm getting closer though. I am mostly organised and on time, with spreadsheets and notes all around my chrome browsers. Though I will forget sometimes, so bumps are very helpful. I respond to things within at least three days, unless I forget (which is not too often), or I am busy (in which case I usually inform people). I will be active, detailed, dedicated, and passionate with all of her posts, and really try to make her own passions shine through.
