History
Featherwind was born just before leaf-bare with two siblings. He lost his brother to greencough only a moon after they were born. It was only after he learned of the cause of his death that Featherwind thought about becoming a medicine cat. He hadn't fully decided that was what he wanted to do until the old medicine cat informed him she needed an apprentice. He and his remaining sister had been extremely close until Featherwind accepted the old she-cat's offer.
Though learning about all the different herbs and their properties was difficult, his carefully hidden enthusiasm for it helped him overcome any difficulties. The older cat taught him patiently and when she died many seasons later, Featherwind was fully prepared to take her place.
Shortly after he became the medicine cat, his sister confided in him her many moons worth of discontent with how the clan was becoming. Hearing this news so unexpectedly unsettled the tom and he became unsure of how to proceed. On one paw, Featherwind was completely loyal to his clan and its leader. On the other, this was his sister. He couldn't choose to betray one by helping the other and so stayed neutral in his responses to his sister's rants.
Eventually, the she-cat noticed her brother's refusal to agree and became so enraged and disturbed that she left the clan. Featherwind was grief stricken and became colder, resulting in him being almost unbearable company. Several moons later, his personality began to thaw and is now as healed as he's ever going to be.
Appearance
He is slender and leanly muscled with graceful long legs ending in deft paws for handling herbs. There is a nick in his left ear and he has a few small scars scattered across his body, but not many as Featherwind is a healer, rather than a fighter. His fur is the normal short length, suited to the Desertclan climate. He has a slightly more oblong head than the usual round and was likened to a lanky rodent on more than one occasion by meaner apprentices when he was young. Though Featherwind has long since grown into his build.
His main body color is light gray with thin, darker gray strips across his back that taper off just before they reach his belly. Just after each strip is a blending of barely noticeable, very light russet. The gray gives way to soft white on his chest and belly. Featherwind's ears have tufts on the tips and the fur on the inside is also white. His eyes are a sharp jade green and are set off by a white outline of fur around each that swoops across his cheeks. His legs are striped in dark gray, in a pattern rather like a tiger's. Featherwind's tail is quite long and almost entirely dark gray with a bit of light gray and pale russet near the tip.
Personality
Featherwind is excellent at deception and prefers to seem aloof and mysterious to most of the clan for his own amusement. When he drops the facade, which is usually only around Bleachstar and sometimes the other medicine cats, he can be rather sarcastic and teasing. He knows, however, when to hold his tongue and give straight answers.
Featherwind prefers to have everything figured out before he acts in order to preserve his delicate pride. Though sometimes he tends to over-think things and has lost quite a few great opportunities. He is a bit obsessive at times and absolutely hates it when his herb stores get disorganized, but somehow it seems to happen often. He disdains any cat he deems less intelligent than himself, which is almost everyone. That's not to say that Featherwind's arrogance is entirely unfounded, as he is rather quick witted.
The more vicious members of the clan disgust him with their lack of sophistication and so Featherwind is no closer to any single cat than the usual clan bonds. The tom genuinely admires Bleachstar and while occasionally doubtful of his leader's sanity, would follow him to the ends of the Earth. Despite his rough-around-the-edges personality, Featherwind truly enjoys to take care of his clan. It's possibly to only see how competent he is, but it may be something more.
IC
Only quiet shuffling sounds were heard in the medicine cat's den as Featherwind bent over his work. "Never again will my herbs become so disorganized," he vowed to himself crossly, but quietly. Somehow, over the course of only a few moons, his herb stores had become quite jumbled. "I'd better get this done soon," he mumbled. "It would be so horribly ironic if there was sickness going around." A sigh escaped his mouth as he stood to stretch. Suitably relaxed, Featherwind settled back down for another long while of sorting. Where was an apprentice when you needed one?
