Personality: Cedarbranch is a very gentle and caring cat especially when she is caring for the sick and injured. She is a good listener and is always willing to lend an ear to anyone who needs it. Intelligent is putting it mildly, Cedarbranch is extremely smart not only with herbs and healing but she can think a way out of any situation and is able to solve almost any problem. Though along with the positives there are negatives. Cedarbranch can be a little impatient at times especially if someone is being mouse brained. She is very firm and isn't happy when someone disobeys her orders mainly because they only end up making themselves sick or injuring themselves even worse. She can be a little resentful to those who have such an easy time talking though she does her best to hide it.
She has her strengths and her struggles. Like the rest of her clan she is very good at climbing and enjoys scaling the tallest tree to see as far as she can. Heights don't bother her at all in fact she often wishes she could fly so she could go even higher. Cedarbranch is a decent hunter and can out run and out think any prey. And obviously she is an excellent healer. Her main weakness is her inability to speak to others with words. Instead she must use signals with her paws and tails and draw pictures in the ground to tell others what she wants or needs to. She is a horrible fighter, in fact she was never taught so she would be no help in a battle. And though she can swim it's just barely enough to keep her head above water.
History: Cedarbranch was born to Rainfur and Foxtail. She has three siblings two brothers and one sister of which she is the second youngest. Her mother knew something was wrong the moment she was born for she didn't cry like the other two who wouldn't stop mewing. She just wiggled up to her mother and began to nurse. When her last kit was almost the same way she feared they were mute. But Ravenkit let out a quiet mew from time to time which was a relief. But she never heard a mew from Cedarbranch. By the time they turned a moon old her whole clan new that Cedarkit was a mute and though Ravenkit could talk he rarely did, and when he did it was only to Cedarkit so he was as good as a mute. If she was hungry she would open and close her mouth. If she was thirsty she would run her tongue around her mouth. If she wanted to go outside to play she would point with her paw to outside. If she was tired she would just curl up in the nest and fall asleep. Cedarkit always fell asleep beside Ravenkit they had a tight relationship in their shared silence from a young age.
When they were made apprentice her mentor had to learn all these signs to know what she wanted. He was rather new to the clan and didn't believe that she was truly mute like the others said. At first he tried to see if he could make her talk and often threatened to make her clean the elders den and not leave camp. But no matter what he did Cedarpaw never spoke and eventually he gave up and learned her ways. Though a moon after she was made an apprentice she received a dream from Starclan who told her her destiny was not that of a warrior but a medicine cat. The next morning she went to her leader and pointed to the sky with her paw the the sky then drew on the ground with her paw her sleeping and then a star then pointed to the medicine cats den and drew a leaf. The leader understood and made her the medicine cat which was good for the one they had was very old. He was grumpy and his voice rasped when he spoke. Cedarpaw learned quickly and mastered healing in just a few short moons. During their training Ravenpaw would often come and visit and talk with her. He was the only one who ever know what she was saying without her ever having to draw a picture.
Moons went by and her siblings were made warriors even Ravenpaw received his warrior name Ravenswing for his excellent jumping. When he leaped from tree to tree it looked like he was flying. Cedarpaw was proud of them, though she was sad she had not received her name yet. But a moon later Birchseed took her to the Moonpond and she dreamed with Starclan and they gave her the name Cedarbranch after her loyalty to her clan and her great intelligence of herbs. When they returned the next day Birchseed became very ill and three days later he joined Starclan and Cedarbranch became their full time medicine cat at the young age of thirteen moons. Three months have gone since that day and she continues to do her very best for her clan.
