• MENTOR: Sunsplash.
  
  
• DESCRIPTION: Raintail is the medicine cat of Shadowclan. She came into the position young but, serving as healer for her clan is something she always knew she wanted since she was a kit, and she took her training very seriously.
  
  
• APPEARANCE: Raintail is a petite she-cat. Her pelt is white with large grey tabby patches from ears to tail. She has a pink nose and pale, clear green eyes. Her white paws are large and capable, often stained with the juices of various herbs.
  
  
• PERSONALITY: Raintail is a quiet, serious cat. She is thoughtful and pensive and seems to be much older than her mere 18 moons. In spite of this, Raintail is a Shadowclan cat and, while she may not come off as icy cold as her warrior clanmates, Raintail is a confident--some might even say arrogant--medicine cat. She keeps to herself and has very little understanding of the motivations that drive warriors. Raintail is a natural-born medicine cat.
  
  No cat can keep a secret better than Raintail and, as the unofficial chronicler of all Shadowclan's doings, Raintail knows many cats' secrets, both those shared with her and those not. It would be very unwise to make an enemy of Raintail. Fortunately, Raintail has no enemies. Most cats of Shadowclan see her as simply their medicine cat and ignore her the rest of the time. She leads a very internal and lonely life because of this. Since the death of her mentor, Sunsplash, her only real friends are outside of her clan; the other medicine cats and their apprentices. Raintail often wonders if she'll ever have an apprentice of her own.
  
  
• HISTORY: As a kit, she wasn't interested in the usual things, learning the best fighting moves or how to stalk prey. Her strong warrior parents, Pineclaw and Shadewhisker, lost interest in her quickly as soon as they realized that she had no warrior's ambition and turned all of their attentions to Raintail's sister, Nightwhisper. Raintail spent all of her time following her mentor-to-be, Sunsplash, around the Shadowclan camp asking an endless stream of questions about herbs, illness and injury, and the thing that fascinated her more than any other. Starclan. She was obsessed with the idea of long-gone cats watching from the stars ... taking a paw directly in the doings of cats in all clans. She wanted nothing more than to share in the secrets of her ancestors.
  
  It was no surprise to the cats of Shadowclan when, on the day of receiving her apprentice name, young Raintail solemnly requested to be mentored to the aging Shadowclan medicine cat, Sunsplash. Sunsplash had waited long for Starclan to send him a worthy mentor and was well-pleased with young Raintail. Pineclaw and Shadewhisker were happy to see their contrary daughter find a place in the clan. They would have preferred to see her become a fierce warrior like themselves but knew that, as medicine cat, she would be honored among the cats of Shadowclan and that Sunsplash would provide her with any needed attention.
  
  When Sunsplash went to join Starclan, dead of green cough this Leafbare past, Raintail was thrust into the position of singular medicine cat of Shadowclan. She was as ready as she could ever be and, so far, has served her clan well though the last Leafbare was harsh and cruel and she lost many cats ... including Sunsplash, the closest thing Raintail ever had to a proud family and a trusted friend.
  
  Though these lost lives were hard for Raintail, a young medicine cat on her own, her abundant confidence held firm. She knew she had done everything she could for those cats. Still, she wonders what could have been done differently. She misses old Sunsplash and wishes she were closer with her family or some other cat in her own clan. The cats of Shadowclan too often take Raintail for granted and she knows this.
  
  Still, Raintail has high hopes for Newleaf ....
