Snowfall
a completely white tom with icy blue eyes.
* * *
Age: 46 moons
Gender: Tom
Rank: Medicine Cat
Clan: Reedclan
* * *
Appearance:
If you inspect Snowfall’s pelt thoroughly, you will discover that there is not a speck of a different colour than white on it. His pure white fur is smooth and thick, protecting him against the frosty coldness of Leafbare. There are many downsides of his white fur, though. Hunting and hiding is very hard for him, since prey and enemies can spot him from miles away. But luckily, medicine cats don’t need these skills. They only need to hunt herbs, which can’t exactly see cats sneaking up on them.
Snowfall’s eyes have many shades of blue in them, making them stand out against his white fur. His eyes go from a dark, navy blue to a much lighter shade of blue, which create quite an interesting effect. His eyes can not see though, well at least, not very well. He can only see faint outlines and shadows, making him almost completely blind.
Snowfall has never had much muscles or a broad structure. He isn’t that small, nor big and muscular like most toms. He doesn’t care about his small structure though, since he doesn’t need to fight all the time like all the warriors of the clans.
Personality:
Wise and sometimes grumpy, Snowfall views the warriors as mere kits. He is much older than the most senior warrior, so he knows a lot more than they do. He views warriors as young cats that always get in trouble or danger, never being wise or making the right decisions. He knows that he is much wiser than them, and he frequently points it out.
If any cat even dares to insult or fight Snowfall he would put them in their place. Not by fighting, but by words. He knows how to talk some sense into most cats, except for the stubborn ones. The stubborn cats that are convinced that they’re always right bother him quite a lot. He dislikes the way they think they’re smarter and wiser than he is, even when they aren’t.
Anger is rare for Snowfall. He has never had an angry outburst in his life. But when a cat does bother him to his boiling point, he would simply ignore them. Some may think this isn’t a bad punishment, but it really is. Even if they were dying, he would ignore them until he gets a sincere apology.
Snowfall completely hates being bothered while he is working. He dislikes curious cats who get in his business all of the time. He prefers working alone, by himself with no noises or disturbances. But of course, this is impossible when every couple of seconds a warrior comes in his den, complaining about a thorn in their paw or something.
History:
Snowfall had two, very annoying sisters called Dawnpaw and Icepaw. Every second of the day, they bothered him to play with them. But Snowfall wasn’t interested at all in play-fighting; he would rather help the medicine cat collect herbs and heal cats. From the moment he knew that he was different than the other cats, he decided that he would be a medicine cat. His sisters didn’t understand him. They thought that being a warrior would be amazing, like most kits. They didn’t know that Snowfall could never become a good, well-trained warrior, because of his blindness. His parents on the other hand, understood his intentions. His mother, Frostclaw and his father, Sparrowheart always encouraged him to be a medicine cat, and when he became of age that was exactly what he did.
Entering the world of the medicine cats was exciting for Snowfall. His mentor, a silver tabby called Silverbreeze taught him everything he knew about the life of a medicine cat, and he learned quickly. Before he knew it, he earned his full medicine cat name.
Meanwhile, his two sisters were not as lucky. They were sent on a battle mission, and never came back. Snowfall’s mother inconsolable and she too died in a battle. All that was left of Snowfall’s family was his father, Sparrowheart, who continued to be kind throughout his life, until he died of Greencough.
Snowfall was almost completely alone, but luckily he still had Silverbreeze, who was always so kind to him. Silverbreeze was like his mother, she calmed him when he was angry and helped him when he was troubled. But no cat lived forever. She died of old age one night, leaving Snowfall as the only medicine cat of Sunclan.
