A small cat approaches you in ThunderClan camp, tail swishing eagerly. You noticed he's very small for a warrior.. but that's alright! Once he reaches you, he gives you a big huge smile and starts to speak.
"Hiya! I'm Tinyowl, but you can call me hoots if ya like! My twoleg is askin' me to say a few things for this super-duper coolio form thingy that Bumblebee's twoleg is doin for the herb cat! I'm excited as heck, I almost think I got wings! Let's do this then, how 'bout it?"
○•°☆ There's a realm above the trees
Where the lost are finally found
Touch your feathers to the breeze
And leave the ground °•○☆
heya! welcome to tinyowl's application for medicine cat! i just made him, but im already in love with the little bean! he has been submitted and as SOON as he is accepted, he WILL be roleplayed with!
he's 21 moons old and rather small for his age. hes about the size of an apprentice. but don't worry, he's just small!
he has a big heart and loves to make others laugh and smile. he hates when cats are sad and will do everything in his power to help 'em, even if it includes making silly faces, acting like an overall doofus or somethin' else. no one is sad on hoots watch, nuh-uh!
☆○•° Travel light, let the sun eclipse you
'Cause your flight is about to leave
And there's more to this brave adventure
Than you'd ever believe °•○☆
i got a few plot ideas for him already! maybe he can get attacked by a clanmate and have to lose an eye, leg or somethin else. i can see romance plots and kittens in his future as well as tons of friendship plots. i can also see a plot where he is in a friendship but the friend is only using him and never even liked him to begin with and he gets real sad. poor bean. if he becomes med cat, maybe even a plot where he tries to save somecat but he fails and they die and it really affects him. these are just some rough ideas!
tinyowl is bapping his twoleg's nose when she finishes and he giggles a bit as she steps back.
"well, now that my twoleg has told ya about me, i'd be super duper happy if bumblebee chose me as a medicine cat! nows I know i'm little, but i can do anythin' yous all can do! okay? good! oh! webbs is callin me for a patrol! see ya later!! enjoy the other applications!!"
well, uh, see ya hoots! there we go! thats my little baby child and his application! i hope you think he's a good fit dino and everyone else, have a great day or night!

In a mystical abandoned Twoleg nest lays a broken oak sign that reads Welcome to Pumpkinpoppy's her-You cannot read the rest of the text due to it being too faded. At last the stiff fallen log (door) moves suddenly, and you're greeted by a orange cat. “Hello, I'm Pumpkinpoppy, and welcome to my herb garden. Well it used to belong to a cat called Springlight until she disappeared in the dense forest undergrowth and never returned.. So I took over. I'm hoping to learn to grow them so I can be Thunderclan's next medicine cat. Stay a while won't you?" They meowed. Sitting on a piece of moss, you ask Pumpkinpoppy some questions.
‘What are your pronouns?' You ask. “Oh, it depends on the day,He/they currently though." Pumpkinpoppy responds
‘What is your personality like?’ “I'm calm, respectful though I can be a bit absent-minded and tend to bottle up my emotions."
‘Why do you want to become a medicine cat?'
“One, to save my clanmates of course but secondly, to figure out my suffix, I know ‘poppy' is a type of herb but what does it do? And clumsy twoleg who set this up cannot afford the knowledge of herbs purrrk."
And with that, you take a nibble of squirrel then bid Pumpkinpoppy farewell, setting off onto another adventure.

the library is quiet and clean, just like you know it to be. passing by the shelves there's book with an orange binding that catches your eye. pulling it from it's spot it looks worn and well-loved. an encyclopedia on the meaning and uses of herbs. maybe it's an interesting read...
An Herb Encyclopedia According to Yarrowcrest
used to numb minor wounds, ease small infections and sores, and promote healing. used for bottling.
every microaggression goes beneath his skin, never to be seen again. every bad decision, every opinion. every thought. though true to his morals and stubborn, he speaks up very little, even if he would like to more than anything. years of his words meaning nothing have reduced him to this but perhaps a new position in life will help him find the confidence he needs to become more outspoken, or maybe there's an herb for that, too? remedy pending on that but as for burdock it can be used to promote growth of his character. healing of his confidence. ease each and every sore spot left behind until nothing remains.
used to bind wounds, staunch bleeding, hold herbs together, and bind broken bones. used for battle scars.
despite his morals and the morals of his peers, he cares for his clan. duty comes first. when battle called him, he not only rose to the occasion but he drew first blood and attacked on his leader's wishes. the tear on his ear reminds him of this every day. he is willing to devote himself to the clan if they devote themselves to him, in turn. cobwebs bind things together. he would use them to bind together his clan mates to create stronger bonds. more resilient bonds.
used to calm anxiety or grief. used for grief.
now he knows how to deal with loss. having dealt with grief so many times, losing so many loved ones, he knows the delicacy of death and mourning. his parents, his mate, his adopted father, and now what could have been his sister... grief is nothing new to him. having struggled though it on his own he knows now how best to move on. he feels nothing but respect for the dead and would do everything in his power to comfort not only the dead, but the living. because those that live keep the legacy of the dead alive. he would act as the goat weed for those dealing with loss and lift them up again.
used as a painkiller; excellent for sedation; soothes shock, distress, and anxiety. used to numb.
as a cat that struggles with anxiety himself he understands how hard it can be. with war and death so common today amongst the clans he understands how easily one can go into shock, how one can give into fear. he understands it all personally. which is why he would act as the poppy seeds themselves, using his own account to ease the troubles of his clan mates. physical health is important but to him one's mental state is even more important. which is why easing one's distress is utmost importance.
Chapter 5. Yarrow used to extract poison from wounds. makes a cat vomit up toxic plants and cure stomachaches, cures mild coughs, and heals cracked or sore paw pads. a name.
just a name? what does it mean?
it means loyalty. it means devotion. it means longing for change and peace. it means many more but more than anything it means... yarrowcrest. as medicine cat he would be this and more. he could be so much more. he's still young so he has plenty of room to grow just like the herbs he would be using.
So why Yarrowcrest as a medicine cat?
Born and Raised
- yarrowcrest has lived all 25 moons of his life in thunderclan, devoted to his fellow clan mates. never once has he been late to or not turned in a patrol. he trained his apprentices (when they were still present) pretty diligently.
Armed to The Teeth
- since he trained his life as a warrior he would be able to defend himself, his apprentice, and the medicine cat den from any attacks on the camp. he could also make himself useful in battle and then do his job afterwards!
Not Your Average Medicine Cat
- yarrowcrest was trained a warrior, but with a soft heart. he doesn't enjoy violence and would condemn war if he had the chance, which he has to bumblestar in the past. despite this however he understands that he has a job to do and he has to change thing slowly, but surely, in his own way.
Speaking His Mind
- as previously mentioned he has spoken to bumblestar about his opinions before, and would gladly do so again. as he's aged he's grown more vocal and less scared, though he does still hold his reservations. communication is important to him and he just wants the best for the cats of thunderclan.
Author's Notes
hiii mitts here!! hope you enjoyed reading the little book of herbs! a little about me and then some important notes:
- yarrowcrest was my first ever character on wco! he is very dear to me, and one of my most intricately written characters over here!
- i have had the role of med cat shortly before so i know my way around the site, the rules, and my duties! settling in would be pretty quick and easy, helping thunderclan settle into normalcy as quickly as possible!
- ive been writing for over 15 years! i have lots of experience and a passion for developing characters!
- i have tons and tons of time on my hands right now, as i dont have a job, so im available whenever to do whatever!
- im super present on discord and more than willing to be added to any group chats to communicate! i love to communicate, it's very important to me.

"I heard there's a position opening in the clan." A stern voice captures your ear. You turn to see an equally stern looking tom eyeing you seriously. "I would like to offer my services."
Dogchase is sturdy and dependable. He’s a good warrior, even if his self-confidence was shaken after the incident where he lost part of his tail. He’s been having trouble getting back on his feet (emotionally). A little bit of a shake up could do him some good!
Here’s his bio. I also wrote a mini potential post to better get a feel for what Dogchase as medicine cat would be like!
The brown tom made his way up the path that led to the Starcave. It was odd. He had known the way for what felt like his whole life, but he had never actually had the chance to walk it. It was surreal. Like when your dreaming and you know a place is familiar even without having seen it before.
With every pawstep he felt the weight of his clanmate's hopes riding on his back. Dogchase paused in the path for a heartbeat. He had big pawsteps to fill. The pressure was almost overwhelming. But he took a quick breath. He had to try. He began to pad forward.

Reason: Dogchase's application is finished!
A cat steps out of the bushes. Hi she says I heard that you guys need a med cat right?
You nod
Well um maybe I could do that.I have a large herb garden filled with catmint. Hey that matches my name! My name is mint and I would love to join as mint leaf or mint paw because number one I love to heal stuff but I am 23 moons old…This one time my twogleg brought a talking vole here and I healed it! Also have you heard of starclan! They are so awsome! They told me to leave my owner and go find some cats called ThunderClan. Then my owners house burned down! Well anyways you probably need to go back now. Here’s some mice and a squirrel and byyyeeee! She hands you 3 mice and a squirrel and you leave.
