|| Single || Medicine Cat Apprentice || Bio || She sniffed the air cautiously, the scent of many cats clinging to the roof of her mouth. She had never scented so many nor scents so strong, she was used to clean rooms and the smell of tangy fruits. She didn’t bother to crouch as she slipped through the undergrowth, her legs dragging carefully along behind her. She was searching for clan cats, they needed to see her, hear her. It mattered little what they did from there, if they attacked then she would fight with valor and if not she would thank starclan and speak quickly. The moon was clost to full in the navy velvet sky and her fur bristled uncomfortably as she slowed to admire it, barely a slither left and it would be at it's full glory. There was something powerful about tonight; she could feel it in the quiver of her whiskers and the shiver of wind on her pelt. She lifted her back end level with her body as she had taught herself over many moons and propelled herself through the undergrowth, careful not to snag herself on branches or jagged rocks (as she has done on many occasions). The scents grew stronger, the forest denser and she knew she was closing in on the trail she had followed so carefully. It was time for her to be more cautious, a cat hurling through the bushes at moon-high was not something she would want to encounter and she guessed neither would they. Assuming she could find their… Their room? Their yard? Before the sun rose. She didn't need to travel far before the pungent scent of unknown cats assaulted her smell. She'd come face to face with a thick gorse tunnel and she knew she had found what she was seeking. Her senses were keen, they had to be. Her deformity demanded it of her, demanded she did her best in any given situation and that is was was asked of her now. To do nothing but her best. She yowled, not in anger, not for the hunt, she yowled to let them know she was there. She knew they would already be aware. She tensed, her whiskers quivered and she gently lowered her mangled lags to the ground, curling them to the side as she sat, careful not to crush them under her weight. [bg= 404040]

Shooting her head Frostbite perked her ears and looked around. What in the world was that noise. Whatever it was.. it sounded close. Something was off. Didn't feel right. Giving a growl Frostbite paused her herb searching and went to see what was going on and where that noise was.
Frostbite opened her mouth and sented something that should not be on her land. Giving a growl she padded closer the sent getting stronger and stronger and finally.. there it was. The white she cat narrowed her eyes and saw a cat just sitting in the middle of thunderclan. Staying back and being down wind of the cat she just watched. She observed this cat up and down and inside and out. Frostbite saw how she sat.. something was wrong with her back legs. Frostbite blinked and just still watched from a distance. This cat looked different but she knew cats like that could fight. That she has always learned. They might not look normal but their fighting skills were different to the clans because they too had to learn how to survive. Staying in the shadows and just watching Frostbite then decided to step out of where she was and make herself known. Carrying herself well and proud the she cat didn't have to say anything. She stopped and stood 6 fox lengths in front of this new cat. Claws out she had to be ready no matter what. Locking eyes with this she cat she wanted her to speak first..

|| Single || Medicine Cat Apprentice || Bio || Her fur bristled under the stare of an unknown enemy but she didn't have to wait long until the white she-cat slinked from her hiding place and sat before her, a show of claws her only warning. Kitsune swallowed dryly, she'd planned this moment for several moons and now that it was here she was lost for words, and this cat expected them from her. She sniffed the air around them, this cat smelt strongly or herbs and plants she could not name, a medicine cat, the exact cat she longed to confront. Something told her that this she-cat wasn't quite what she had expected, however. She seemed welcoming, kind, but there was a glint in her eyes that put Kitsune on edge. With a slow and steady breath Kitsune bowed her head before speaking. "My name is-" she hesitated, "Unimportant... I have traveled many pawsteps to reach you and your clan, I've come to ask for a place with you." She lifted her yellow gaze to the green orbs that bore into her. "I want to heal, and if not, I want to hunt and fight for your clan." She locked eyes and she did not back down, her shoulder solid, her paws pressed firmly in their place and her rear just as limp as ever. She planned a long stay, if they did not drive her from the lands then she would wait in this spot, she would prove her worth though she didn't know how. She could hunt, she could fight, she was just as strong as they and she wanted them to see it. [bg= 404040]

Frostbite listened to the cat and just blinked here and there. Keeping her wall up if she had to make a move she would. Yet this cats eyes told another story. This cat was not going to leave without a fight. And a good one at that. Narrowing her eyes when the other cat was done talking she hissed, ''Seeing your condition my leader would stick you in the elders den before you could show us how your able to hunt, fight, and take care of yourself..'' Then it was the talk about healing? ''You want to heal? Good luck with that. No one goes by my side to heal my clan who isn't from it. Your talking to the wrong cat let alone wanting to get into the wrong clan if needing a place to stay.'' Looking over the cats condition her medicine cat duties kicked in and hissed, ''Hobble over to the camp with me and I'll treat you to anything you need. A word with my leader will be in order for you along with our deputy. They call the shots. As for healing with me.. that's my call princess.'' she hissed. Turning around she headed back to camp starclan knowing what kind of looks she was going to get.

I can make another thread for us and include the leader and deputy if you wish

|| Single || Medicine Cat Apprentice || Bio || She knew it wouldn't be as easy as asking and then receiving. She knew that she'd need to prove her words were true, she had to do far more than another cat in her position but she was not afraid, or worried. There was only room for confidence because she knew, without a doubt, that she could prove her worth. Just as she had many times before, every day was a fight for Kitsune, and every day she won. She did not argue at the she-cats words, she just watched and listened with resolve. Finally when she was told to follow she chose to open her jaws and say in a perfectly even, confident tone that left no room for doubt- "I do not hobble and I do not need anything." She lifted her legs parallel with her body and followed. She did not mention that she'd been days without food, that the effort required to hold her rear could not be matched by any clan cat, the fact that her stomach and forelegs were stronger than most toms or that her speed was yet unmatched. None of these things mattered, her words were nothing more than words, if she wanted this strong medicine cat to believe her, to understand, then she needed to prove her worth with actions, not meows. She followed the she-cat through the camp, her head held high, her useless legs dangling along behind her as she held them above the ground. Her back arched as though she walked on all four legs with ease. She didn't falter in her steps when she noticed all eyes on her. She just followed. Of course, she was scared, but not terrified. Just the right amount of anticipation and perhaps a drop too much arrogance. She was still a stranger here, there was not yet a place for her. She was worried, she couldn't be turned away now, not after she'd come so far. She wouldn't allow it. I do not hobble. (OOC: Sorry about the wait, I've been moving house and didn't have much time free, but yeah I'd love that, as soon as we decide if this thread is finished, perhaps a post or two more, depending on if we end up doing anything overly interesting x3 Though I suppose we could finish it now that she's in the camp and move on from here?)
