The last 3 of the Ancientclaws' litter. Patientkit, Tadpolekit, and Slumberkit! Slumberkit is the only long haired cat in the litter. I wanted her to resemble her grandad Mintbadger.

Wisppad! 27 moon old medicine cat. She's one of Mintbadger's 3 kits. Alongside Ferntide and her late sister Ancientclaws. She took after her father's affinity for herbs, setting her path on becoming a medicine cat at an early age. She's mentoring Grousepaw, one of the two medicine cat apprentice's. She thinks his memory of herbs is above average, but his aloof nature and poor beside manner often frustrates her. But, he's only been training for 2 moons. Perhaps he will grow out of it.

Being born deaf, Wisppad communicates through pawspeak. The mediators can sign, and the medicine cats know enough to get the general gist of what she's saying, but she finds herself frustrated with the warriors and apprentices who can't and aren't interested in learning. She, Jelly Jam, and Mintbadger have been trying to convince Mudsmoke and Lightstar to make pawspeak training a requirement for the warriors' assessment, but they haven't made much headway.
