Our protagonists! Mousepaw being the main POV. Mousepaw, fourteen moons old, is a former warrior apprentice, who longed to be a medic since she was a kit. Being born after the disappearance of the moon, and StarClan following that, her uncle Feathertoss - StarlingClan's medic, takes her in as an apprentice when she was ten moons old. She is considered odd by most of her Clanmates due to her reclusive personality, blunt way of speaking and obsessive dedication to her role as medic. When Feathertoss suddenly drowns, Mousepaw is left as StarlingClan's medic.
Meanwhile Moonpaw, sixteen moons old, is the medic apprentice of SlitherClan - discovered shortly after the moon disapeared as a lone kit, she was named Moonkit due to her unique appearance and considered a good luck charm to the clan; adopted by a pair of toms named Tangledfur and Smallfang. This reputation led to their medic, Viperclaw, to choose Moonpaw to become her apprentice. Moonpaw is a gentle, softspoken shecat who means ever word she says - to the dismay of some of her Clanmates. She tends to let her mind wander, and often butts into conversations without warning.
