the medicine cats in the story at this time of writing! most of them are fairly minor characters (with one glaring exception), but i thought it would be nice to flesh them all out a bit anyway.

honeyfur of skyclan is a big, muscly guy, very able to be a formidable fighter. but his heart was never in it, really- he’s a lover, not a fighter. he naturally picked up being a medicine cat when he was a very young apprentice, and has been that way ever since. skyclan tends to be rather hotheaded, especially under pigeonstar’s reign, so he’s also something of a mediator who solves the conflicts in his clan (and tries to apologize for pigeonstar’s less-than-polite behavior behind his back).

whitetooth of windclan has always been... a bit odd. they’re disarming, dedicated, and have a bit of the flair of an 18th century footman. they like feeling needed, and they like feeling like they have a sense of control. even as a kit they’d ask the clan around them- do you love me? am i needed? on one hand, it’s charming, but on the other it’s a bit unsettling. but they’re quite benign; a skilled healer simply doing as their leader asks them to, nothing more and nothing less...

marblepaw of windclan is a gentle, quiet thing. she and her brother were never really wanted by their mother, and so were often neglected. while this made twigpaw more of an egocentric showoff who loves attention, she became something of a wallflower: timid, gentle, deferential to her mentor. she’s great at keeping secrets...

pebblesky of riverclan was, in fact, born in thunderclan; she trained as a warrior and lived for many moons believing it had to be her destiny. she loathed living in thunderclan, always feeling trapped in the clan’s militaristic, battle-focused ways. however, when her daughter emberblaze- then emberpaw- she realized another life was possible, and soon trained herself to be a medicine cat alongside her daughter. when the previous riverclan medicine cat died, she volunteered to go over to riverclan and fill in as temporary medicine cat- but she found she loved life there more than she ever did in thunderclan, and soon decided to reside there permanently. while tatteredstar could not care less about her moving clans (she always sensed pebblesky didn’t belong anyway), much of thunderclan tends to resent pebblesky, especially her other children, for “turning on them”. only emberblaze continues a close connection to her mother in their shared path of medicinehood. she is one of the older medicine cats, so she is looking for an apprentice.

emberblaze of thunderclan is a bit more extroverted than most of the other medicine cats. she’s the quickest of the group to resort to fighting, and her passions in medicine lay more with connecting to starclan than with healing. despite the constant battle for sunningrocks between thunderclan and riverclan, she has remained very close to her mother, who resides as riverclan medicine cat. she’s still fairly young, so it came as a surprise when she agreed to start training juncopaw.

juncopaw of thunderclan is logical and wise beyond his years. he’s an expert at dry humor. he balances his mentor out- while emberblaze is extroverted, quick to fight, and foused on the spiritual aspects of medicine cat duties, juncopaw is quiet, shies from fighting, and is focused on the more physical healing work of being a medicine cat. he tends to be very flat and unexpressive, which catches those who are unused to him offguard- however, he is definitely a caring fellow, who is already dedicated to his role and to his clan.

addertooth of shadowclan is the oldest of the medicine cats. he’s very shadowclan-ish in terms of appearance- small, ragged, with a dull pelt color and a bit of a ratlike face. he’s calm, quiet, and constantly exhausted- but he refuses to retire, similar to windclan warrior sandwhisker. he doesn’t seem to like currantstar very much. he’s very attached to his apprentice and current co-medicine cat, rosettepelt, who he regards as something of a daughter to him.

rosettepelt of shadowclan was a kittypet who was taken in from the clan when she became lost from her owners. being a bit of a self-described coward, she decided to be a medicine cat, and learned quickly. however, she is the opposite of the stereotypical medicine cat image: she is loud, chatty, bad at comprehending social cues, not exactly the brightest, and sometimes overemotional. other clans doubt her ability due to her personality and past, but in shadowclan she is beloved. while her collar has worn away because of her life in the woods, she still wears it as something of a sash, as she is emotionally attached to it.

Let’s Play: SSO - If My Horses Had Theme Songs

Another one of my great loves in life is music, though, granted, I don’t appreciate the amount of ads Spotify occasionally flings in my face like salt on an open wound, and this is one of my favorite style of SSO videos to watch because of that! While I have no cool, edited video to present for each of my horses and my attempt at doing so for myself by just trying to play around with camera angles was filled with accidentally running into fences, steep slopes, and tall patches of grass that ruined photographic moments, thankfully, we can all be spared from such an experience by settling with these nice screenshots I managed to pull out of aforementioned failed attempts! Spirit is not included on this list because... I’m pretty sure we all know the list of songs I’d be picking from. XD
