name: moonpelt formerly: moon gender: male description: blue-silver and white tabby tom with unusual pale-blue eyes. age: 36 moons apprentice: lillyheart
enthusiastic: No matter what it is that Moonpelt does, he throws his all into it. No matter what time of day it is, he is always down for whatever the day may bring, whether it be a new illness, issues with other Clans, or a dream from StarClan to interpret, he always does his best to do his absolute best. For that, in Flameclan, he is very well-respected, although his seemingly endless enthusiasm can sometimes become annoying for some of the senior warriors.
loyal: It takes a lot for Moonpelt to give up his loyalty. In the case of leaving his Twolegs, it took Blazestar saving his life for him to ever consider it. Now, he is fiercely loyal and protective of his Clan, especially Blazestar, the one who he perceives to be the reason he is currently alive (even if he is being a bit overdramatic.) He loves his Clan and the cats within it, and he would be hard-pressed to ever give it up.
compassionate: Out of all the cats in Flameclan, Moonpelt is definitely one of the most compassionate. It's what makes him a good medicine cat; not only does he know his herbs and remedies, he knows, almost intuitively, how to put nearly every cat at ease. He truly feels for all of his patients, and it is nearly impossible for them to be upset around him. He is truly a positive influence wherever he goes, and no matter what Clan he may visit, he is always a welcome sight.
sensitive: Underneath his jolly exterior, though, Moonpelt is a deeply sensitive cat. When other cats reference his kittypet upbringing, it really gets to him. he is saddened easily by these things, and while he keeps up the façade of happiness as best he can, when he is alone, he spends many sleepless nights crying out to StarClan for the suffering to end. He doesn't understand why they won't be kind to him, but he does everything within himself to show them kindness as best he can.
anxious: Moonpelt is also a deeply anxious cat. When Blazestar first found him, she liked to joke that he was afraid of his own shadow. However, although the joke was funny, his anxiety was not, and he still struggles with being overtaken by fear. He tries his best to not let it get to him, but he still jumps at loud noises, and will frequently be unable to sleep at night, for one fear or another getting to him. He tries to solve it by talking to StarClan, which is what makes him a good medicine cat, but it comes at an unfortunate price.
history: Before Moonpelt joined Flameclan, he was a kittypet. He and his mother lived together for rather long time. Flower, his mother, would tell him stories all day long, filling his head with legends of the ancient cats, StarClan, and the fiercest cats in the forest: the warriors. However, they were eventually separated by their Twolegs. This loss still pangs Moonpelt to this day, and he frequently will carry flower petals to the lake and let them go in remembrance of her. However, he learned to love his new Twolegs, and life, for a while, for him, was great. However, all good things eventually come to an end. Moonpelt's Twolegs stopped caring for him as much as they had, and they frequently forgot to feed him, or let him back in at night. While he still proudly proclaimed himself to be a kittypet, he knew his soft life was coming to a close. When he finally met Blazestar and Maplepaw, although he was afraid, he clung to them, seeing them, and subsequently Flameclan, as an escape, as a true family that would never leave him. Even though he had trouble fitting in at first--such as when Blazestar named him deputy instead of medicine cat like he'd hoped--life eventually fell into place for him, and he now lovingly calls Flameclan home.
