Character Name: Wingedpaw
Link to Character Profile: linky link

Strengths:
Nurturing - Simply looking at her, one can see that Wingedpaw exudes a gentle air about her. She is a kind and tender cat who cares for everyone with no care regarding their background or mannerisms. This is a result of her parents' teachings of unconditional love and sharing of it with all others. Wingedpaw is a touch of a worry wart when it comes to others' ailments and nothing motivates her more than being able to help those in need.
Golden-Hearted - Wingedpaw shares a genuine good-will towards all of cat kind with the exception of those who have incredibly wronged those she holds dear. She's the kind of cats to give everyone a second, third, and fourth chance and takes everything she hears with a grain of salt. She harbors no ill will, even towards her enemies and instead seeks to stubbornly show them their faults in the hopes to change them for the better.
Strong-Willed - Wingedpaw is a normally passive and is easy to get along with. However, this doesn't mean she's a pushover. Only bending to the wills of others when she wants to, as a means of delighting the other, Wingedpaw is in fact quite the determined and driven cat. Wanting to chase her dreams with a smile on her face and a fiery light to her pale eyes, it is hard to deter her once her mind is set to something.

Weaknesses:
Naive - Brought up in such a pleasant and loving environment has allowed Wingedpaw to see the world through a rose-tinted lens, and thus, she takes a lot of things at face value. In this sense, Wingedpaw finds difficulty in not trusting everyone she meets and thinks highly of all those at first glance. Her naivety, while useful and endearing at times, can also pose a problem when taken advantage of. She lacks realism and wisdom and bears a surplus of pleasantries and a swollen heart instead.
Easily Frustrated - Determined to do everything she wishes to the best of her abilities is certainly a compelling quality to have, but because of her being defective and her general youth, she isn't going to be the best right off the bat. Wingedpaw, despite all her good-naturedness, is quite prone to frustration. This isn't quite so when things doing go her way, but rather when she fails to success in whatever she is attempting to accomplish. Instead of lashing out at others for their doings, Wingedpaw instead is much more likely to find fault with her own abilities and take them out on herself in a fit of bitter tears.
Soft - Wingedpaw is certainly a gentle one, and sometimes she can be too much so. Wingedpaw has a very large heart, but it is own made of delicate downy fluff. Easily crumpled by heartache and misfortune, Wingedpaw is a very emotional cat who has a lot of learning to do in order to make it in this unjust and indifferent world.

Why?: Wingedpaw was born with the rare trait of albinism, making her incredibly susceptible to the sun's light and heat. Despite this, however, she has wanted to become a warrior since kithood, determined to defend her clan with all her heart. However, one's yearning can only bring them so far while their physique battles back. Only capable of training in the evening or within the shadows has hindered her capacity for battle and hunting in comparison to others her age, and in spite of her vigor, Wingedpaw has been falling steadily behind as a warrior's apprentice. Instead, she has spent her time in the day figuring out the best places to find moss and other oddities within the darkest portions of the forest and has honed her quirk for scouring to that of a gift.

If chosen as Beetleshade's successor, it could easily be a decision made by Owlstar and Beetleshade to remove Wingedpaw from warrior training due to another mishap with the sun as Wingedpaw easily falls ill to overheating. This last time could pose as the final straw and she instead would be sent to join Beetleshade as her apprentice; a logical decision as Wingedpaw spent much time in the Medicine Cat's den from a young age and has picked up knowledge of commons herbs, their usages, and how to identify them as it was a suitable pastime for the kit while she recovered. She already has an unconditional drive to help others in need and would open up to the idea of being a Medicine Cat rather quickly despite any disappointment which may linger at losing the chance to become a warrior. While she is still young and a slight bit naive, Wingedpaw is a realistic cat beneath the sugary coat and would respect and understand her Leader and Medicine Cat's decision.

Character Name: Ospreyflight
Link to Character Profile: link
Strengths: Intelligent, Calm, cool, collected
Weaknesses: Closed Off, Doesn't Let Anyone Inside, Can Be Strict
Why?: Ospreyflight has had bad things happen to her since she was a kit. She lost her mom and sisters when she was a kit and her brother Eaglepaw and her father Storkheart when she was an apprentice causing her to become closed off. She began to wonder if it was a sign from Starclan that she wasn't meant to be a warrior that she was meant to be separated from the rest of the clan and become a Medicine Cat.

Character name-Morelkit
Link to profile-CLICK
Strengths-

Empathetic-Morelkit has a good understanding on how others are feeling by how they act, and their body language. He is a good ready. Someone who says ‘oh it’s just a scratch’ or ‘it doesn’t hurt’ ‘I feel just fine’ would always be on his radar as those ‘tough’ little warriors always like to hide things which could be dangerous to the clan. That and knowing how others feel from time to time makes him a good listener and how to give good advice. Broken hearts and Stress are illness too!

Good listener-His good listening skills won’t just be for giving good advice, but it will also help him retain what he learns. You are free to chat his ears off all day and he won’t interrupt unless asked a question or if he has a question himself. He will retain information well, to store for later use and of course if you have a heartfelt story he would love to hear that too!

Hard Worker-His dad is known for fighting and defeating his enemies and his mother is known for clever remarks and wit. He just wants to make BOTH of them Proud of him. Thus you know Morelkit will work VERY hard to master his craft. He just wants to be the best, and he wants his family to see that despite perhaps not being made a warrior, he can still do amazing incredible things like talk to the dead

Creative-Morelkit loves a good challenge and will find ways to overcome them. Inventively and creatively. He may test different mixtures, and perhaps taste different plants not commonly used to figure out what they may do. Both dangerous, inventive and fun.


Weaknesses

Will try and be the hero-Morelkit will always try to be the hero which can cause problems. He will won’t to fix everyone and everything and will jump into dangerous situations which as a medicine cat probably wouldn’t be the best idea. It will probably also upset him to a large scale if someone were to get hurt on his watch and he couldn’t be the hero and save them. It would be emotionally traumatic

Favoritism-Unfortunately Morelkit LOVES his family and although he wouldn’t mean too would favor them from time to time. Especially his brother Trufflekit and his Mother Mumblesong. He loves his father, but he really is a mama’s boy and appreciates her very much. If his family came to him for any reason he may use extra herbs, or sneak honey combs to truffle from time to time. He doesn’t mean to, it's just out of habit.

May Feel left out at times- Morelkit enjoys fitting so when the other apprentices are going over hunting and fighting techniques he may want to try and fit in especially with his brother. So he may day dream from time to time about the what ifs of being a warrior and maybe practicing hunting techniques in the shadows, at least then he will fit in more and be able to talk about his day with his brother from time to time. Mind you this will not effect his work ethic, but he may seem sad or upset occasionally.

His age-Morelkit is REALLY young. Can this little kit really be the next big thing for IvyClan? Being a kit he is Gullible and Naive and would probably listen, or believe anything you tell him until he reaches a certain age at least. For now this is a weakness until he gets older and his personality really develops.


Why-

Morelkit is still very young and all and any of his bad habits can be molded and changed. He’s the perfect candidate. He’s also easily influenced so any good habits from his mentor could easily be passed down from him. He’s mold-able unlike an older warrior or older apprentice who has had time to develop quirks and habits that may be hard to break. His age is both a weakness and a strength, despite being mold able he may be considered Naive.

His attention to detail, and listening skills would also make him a good candidate. Being slightly bigger may also help as he gets older, and a deeper voice. He will be the voice of reason. Never ignore a headache, some things aren’t always ‘just a scratch’ or ‘just an upset stomach’ always see your neighborhood medicine cat as something small can lead to something a lot more serious if you aren’t careful. Plus his dad is big and scary and he will send him after you to help aid the idea if you aren’t careful.

He’s a sweet cat, and rather social-able so he would have no issue getting to know all of the cats in IvyClan including their quirks. He also loves a good challenge, so finding a treatment for all those with odd disabilities would be his forte!

Character Name: Hawksplash
Link to Character Profile: Hawksplash
Strengths:

• Motherly
• Brave
• Tender
• Good with elderly/young
• Can handle the sight/smell of blood

Weaknesses:

• Temperamental
• Born warrior
• Too protective
• Can be aggressive
• Wants kits someday

Why?: Hawksplash considers herself the mother of the Clan in many ways. She would die for her Clanmates, if need be. She is soft when necessary and claws-out when danger lurks over the horizon. Although it is difficult for a warrior to transition to medicine cat, Hawksplash has the knack for nursing cats back to health in her.
Other: Yes I know I've come out of a hiatus, but I think I'm ready to be active again.

Character Name: Fuzzyfrost
Link to Character Profile: Fuzzyfrost
Strengths: 

• Sweetheart
• Lax
• Good-humored
• Perceptive/thoughtful
• Level-headed in emergencies

Weaknesses: 

• Long-furred (which could interfere with herb sorting and proper treatment)
• Sarcastic
• Trained as a warrior
• Perhaps a little too passive
• Can seem apathetic in terrible situations

Why?: Look, I'm going to be frank with you. Fuzzyfrost is so ridiculously fluffy and, honestly, fat, that it is a veritable challenge for him to actually carry out his warrior duties. Yes, he can still do them, but he tends to get winded and the like. Truthfully, he would be better suited to something with less walking and more thinking, as he is a thinker and not a doer. He is thoughtful and kind, which I think is necessary for the Clan's only source of medical care.
Other: I meant to post him first but my brain tooted??? Forgive me, please.

Character Name: Lilydawn
Link to Character Profile: link
Strengths: 
Lilydawn is a fairly young and new warrior, meaning she has plently of life left in her. Instead of becoming an elder and living it out sleeping and getting food provided, she decided to work in the areas that she could and help out.
Lilydawn also has seen her fair share of things, always greeting warriors coming in and she's learned to tell if something is off. 
Lilydawn knows a Queen's struggle, especially like her mother's after raising her and her siblings on her own. She knows that everyone comes from a different past, and it's best not to pry unless needed.
Lilydawn, finally, is intelligent. She figures out how to do even simple chores just a bit better, figures out new solutions to things, etc

Weaknesses: 
Lilydawn cannot walk properly without falling or needing a severe aid.
Lilydawn, also, has never left camp before because of this. She would need help if gathering herbs or at least someone to keep an eye incase she falls.
Lilydawn cannot fight physically, and for battles, she most likely couldn't go too far and help.
Lilydawn has never been to a gathering or seen cats outside of her clan.
Why?: It would prove a new challenge to her, letting the disabled warrior work hard in something she has a shot at. The feline was let down in life on her warrior path, and though she has her name she knows at heart it isn't true like she wished for it to be. She shows compassion and kindness, helping others over herself, and also works extremely hard, even if what she does is just chores.
Other: she's a bean
