Flutterdream

A petite, tortie and white she-cat with amber eyes and a bushy tail
[ Request Sdesc Update ]

Flutterdream is a petite, bi-colored tortoiseshell she-cat with amber eyes and an unusually bushy tail. Despite being fully grown she’s still small for her size, but that just means she can fit in small crevices and spaces so it makes it easy for her to reach trapped clanmates if need be. She tends to use her tail as a sort of storage to help carry herbs when it’s needed, especially since herbs get stuck to her tail anyways.

If you were to meet Flutterdream she isnt much for words but will speak her mind when it comes down to it. Overall she’s very friendly and would definitely enjoy a bit of conversation even if she might forget names once shes done speaking to them until she finally remembers your name. She can get anxious at times when being in a large group of cats or there’s a lot of cats trying to speak to her all at once, so she always tries to talk to one cat at a time so she’s not overwhelmed. If you were to ask Flutterdream a question you can be sure that she will answer as honestly as she possibly can even if she probably doesn’t  know the answer to said question. Due to her quiet nature, she tends to hold a lot of secrets that she refuses to share even if bribed to tell, so you can bet that she’d more than likely would keep a secret even without threatening her life! The majority of the time, she seems like she’s in her own little world being how absentminded she is she tends to get distracted easily even during patrols where she should be paying attention. Above all, loves to take care of her clanmates as if the entire clan was her family making sure her clanmates are well taken care of.

• Born in the Moon of Running Prey (2018)

Kithood (0-6 moons)

Born to an Dapplewish and Ravenpath during the second day of the Moon of Running Prey (2018), Flutterkit almost never ventured far from either the nursery or, when her mother needed some space, the medicine cat den and helped whenever she could. It was almost like Starclan themselves wanted the she-kit to become a medicine cat ever since she was brought into the world. Realizing this, the medicine cat went to the Leader and asked them to make Flutterkit their apprentice. 

Apprenticeship (6-12 moons)

At first her apprenticeship started a little rocky, due in part to her getting distracted by the stray worm or a butterfly that would flutter by. However, despite that she was pretty decent at remembering the name of herbs, only sometimes struggling putting the names of the herbs with the actual herbs, almost giving a warrior tansy instead of yarrow which the medicine cat at the time was able to catch before she made a big mistake. Her first trip to the Moonstone almost scared the young apprentice, but being reassured by her mentor nothing bad was going to happen made her press on, granting her ancestors their approval. Although, this peacefulness of Flutterdream’s life had to end somewhere and it just happened to happen the first moon into her apprenticeship. 

It all started with an elder coming into her den complaining about shortness of breath and being very dehydrated. The right combination for Green-cough that quickly spread and turned into Black-cough. The sickness took Dapplewish and Ravenpath from her, but almost took her mentor with them leaving Flutterpaw devastated. In her grief, her mentor tried to lessen the burden of her apprenticeship by letting her do light work and the Medicine Cat took care of the in-house patients as they came as she slowly recovered. 

Adulthood (current; 12-26 moons)

It took her a few extra moons to go back to normal, but eventually she was able to finally focus on what needed to be done. Even though she had a few scares of her own, while she was out searching for herbs, she found a herb a bird had gathered in its nest and decided to go for it. Not realizing she probably should have just got a warrior to help, as soon as she got the herb the branch she was on broke and she almost broke her leg. Before too long, she was able to use her leg to some extent, but will always be left with a limp. 

Once again, it seemed that Starclan themselves were testing her when another outbreak of Black-Cough ripped through camp. This one in particular almost never letting up, leaving Flutterpaw and her mentor up at almost all hours of the day. Once her mentor decided she was ready, they took her to the Moonstone to speak before Starclan and upon her return the Leader named her Flutterdream. Her eyes shone bright that night as she gazed at her fellow clanmates as they chanted her name when they returned to camp lifting the spirits of anycat nearby.

Not long after Flutterdream became a full medicine cat, her mentor retired to the elders den having earned their rest, but welcomed Flutterdream if the she-cat had any questions, so if she wasn’t in the medicine cat den she was more often than not in the elder den talking to her old mentor. That is until they passed from an unknown sickness that left them confined to their nest with a high fever and they kept fading in and out of consciousness. Once they passed, Flutterdream immediately went back to work, more or less drowning herself into working nearly non-stop. It wasn’t until Palestar came to her and told her to take a rest that she did. Nowadays, she takes things in stride rather than trying to rush through things like she did in the past.
