Not sure if you prefer a pre-made kitty or not, but I made this gal up mostly for this (I needed another TC cat anyways, so if she's not chosen I'll be making her a cat of mine anways).
Name-
Grovekit | Grovepaw | Grovelight, Groveshine, Grovebounce, Grovepool
Gender-
Female
Age-
5 moons
Sexuality-
Undecided
Personality-
Grovekit is a very bouncy and giggly feline, finding it easy to make friends. She is always looking to see and try new friends and never shies away from a challenge. Even though she is a kit, she has a very adventurous spirit and has already seen quite a bit of the territory from sneaking out- which can bring a bit of trouble for her. She seems to attract a bit of trouble to her; for instance, sneaking out caused her to have a run in with a few too many rats, resulting in the loss of her tail. This molly can be a bit brash, not always thinking before acting, however she is not dumb. She has an intelligent mind hidden behind her goofy antics. Grove is also very stubborn, and it takes a lot for her mind to be changed once it is made up. If she wants something, she is determined to get it. Grouped with her smarts, she winds up getting what she wants quite a lot- if not given right away, she will plan up something or reason with another until she achieves what she wants to. Grovekit always tries to look on the bright side of things, and even if she is let down she will only be briefly upset before bouncing back to her energetic, happy self. It takes a lot to bring the molly down, and if she is ever unusually sad then something big must have happened to cause it. She likes to make others laugh, and always strives to do so, bringing out her overly goofy side. She believes that happiness is a medicine as well, so if she becomes a medicine cat she would likely always try to make any patients she has happy while they are being treated. However, she is not a very organized cat, so if she becomes medicine cat, her stash of herbs would become very messy. Somehow, she still would know where everything is when to the rest of the clan they only see a pile of unorganized herbs.
Appearance-
boop
Grove is a light brown cat splashed with darker brown markings. She has white boots along with a white chest. Her fur is very short and easy to maintain, which is a good thing- if she had long fur, she wouldn't be able to keep up with grooming and would look a mess. She has a short muzzle and big pale green eyes. She has a long, slim body shape with a small, round head that almost doesn't seem to go with her graceful looking body. What remains of her tail is a short stump of fluffy fur, as the rest of her tail had to be gnawed off after a particularly nasty infection caused by a rat bite on her tail.
Why they want to be a MCA-
Grove barely thought about being a medicine cat originally- like many other kits, she had fantasies of becoming leader running through her head. But then on one outing (or, time when she snuck out of camp more like) she found herself having a run-in with a group of rats. She only wound up with a few injuries, the most major of them being near the base of her tail. This bite eventually became severely infected, and almost nothing seemed to cause the infection to go away. To prevent it from spreading, or even killing the small kit, the decision was made to gnaw the majority of her tail off, leaving her with only a stub. Now, obviously this wouldn't prevent her from becoming a warrior at all- it would only hinder her balance if she should be climbing trees, which could easily become avoided. But, Grove found herself fascinated with herbs after that experience. While being treated, she had tried her best to learn what had been used for her cuts and bites. She already had an interest in plants beforehand, but it had been more of a small curiosity rather than wanting to actually use herbs. Now, she found herself hungry for more knowledge, completely abandoning old dreams of becoming a wonderful warrior or a leader of her clan.
Plot Ideas- Grove, being the determined and stubborn molly she is, would definitely beg almost daily to be allowed to be medicine cat apprentice. She would be in Wheatfur's den a lot, pestering the poor tom. Perhaps Wheat originally thinks that the boisterous cat wouldn't be fit as a medicine cat- she's too rambunctious, maybe he thinks a calmer cat would make a better fit. But even still, she learns what she can each visit. It isn't until one of her fellow kits winds up with an injury, and Wheatfur is out collecting herbs, that he realizes she has what it takes- she applies the minimal knowledge she had to treat her fellow kit (albeit she had to steal some herbs from Wheat's stash to do so and got in a bit of trouble afterwards for that) and make them better. He comes back to learn what Grove did, and finally agrees to take her on as his apprentice.
I also think it'd be cool if they have a rocky relationship at first- maybe they have personality differences, or her messiness gets on his nerves. They just plain don't get along well, and get into a few too many arguments, but they start developing a bond anyways until its almost like Wheat is another father to Grove.
Edit: I made a page for her! It's
