PERSONALITY//

Sweet and sincere. Nothing to hide; innocent but clever. Very conversational, that is, talkative, and personable. Arcticlight is youthful and very much full of life. She isn't particularly tough, though if it's because she's a medicine cat or that's the reason why she became one she has no clue. Still, she's pretty much a lightweight with a slightly defense worthy exterior. Her pale green eyes can speak volumes to those that know what to look for, but any cat can see that she's soft. Her pelt is sleek and well taken care of, completely unscarred by the life of a healer. The same is true with gentle Arcticlight. She cares greatly for her clan, and with her there are no hidden meanings. Very loving, overall, so much so that she would never 'hate' another cat. Unfortunately, as absorbed as she is with Vertigoclan, she doesn't really care that much about what happens outside of it, so long as it doesn't concern her own clan. Another thing she doesn't think about all too often, or for that matter ever, is toms. Unlike most female medicine cats, she doesn't wonder what she's missing out on by not having kits. Arcticlight has never regretted her decision, and never will. She isn't the type to give up everything she worked for just so she can be with a tom that will probably love her and leave her with a litter full of mewling kits anyway. She is very friendly with all cats, so toms may mistake her closeness and openness as flirting, but it isn't. Toms have never managed to distract her, somehow. Likewise with downers. She'd way rather cheer up a cat that is angry or sad than argue with them.

EXPERIENCE//

Arcticlight would prefer to start with NOW. Because that's what's most important to her. The here and now, and what you're doing with it. However, we'll begin with her birth, just to keep things simple.

Arctickit, born in a litter of three. A brother and a sister, Frigidkit and Harvestkit. Nothing important there. Her mother and father loved each other, loved them, and cultivated them to be whatever they wanted. Her sister was warriorbound. Her brother was meek, but he tried hard. She, as mentioned before, had always been very soft at heart, but good at letting others know what she wanted. And when she was eight moons old, she let her parents, Lynxstar, and the medicine cat, Pomegranatefur, know what she wanted; to become a medicine cat apprentice. From an early age Arcticpaw was a lovely little thing, and she always had a tom or two eyeing her, so her mentor figured she wasn't too serious, and that she would eventually quit being a healer. She didn't, though. Her crazy, quirky, chatterbox mentor was strict, but she listened well, and when she made a mistake, she never made it again; Pomegranatefur was harsh. Anyway, over the moons, he trained her, until she reached her fourteenth moon, and then he saw in a dream things he did not tell her; that she was serious, that she had a bright future. Spurred to action, he visited the contact that moon at the usual time and made her a medicine cat in full, Arcticlight. Just as other medicine cats are given their full names for special reasons, so she was called 'light' for a specific reason; the shining light which Pomegranatefur saw in his dream, representing her endurance, determination, and great future. He also believed truly that when he left the living world she would remain, a shining beacon, and a bright light in her clan, to care for them in his absence. Her mentor left her alone in an unsure time; she was only twenty moons old when he died of a sickness spread through Vertigoclan by the carcass of a dead wolf. She was grief stricken and left afraid that her abilities wouldn't be enough to combat the disease, especially as she was growing ill herself, and the leader of the time, Lynxstar, had been sick for a long time. Arcticlight nearly gave up when she lost her leader, and it was only her resolve that kept her going when Starclan could do nothing to soothe their plight. There were many times that the young female almost stopped fighting. However, with time, brighter days came, under the reign of Pyrestar, and she grew strong again. Now, despite being young, the medicine cat watches over her clan in full, never faltering from duty or code.

Her brother, Frigidwing, mated with Birchtail at the age of just nine moons, when he was an apprentice and she was a young warrior, sixteen moons old. They had a litter of kits, and now Arcticlight is the aunt of Stonefur.
