Appearance
Cherrycloud was a fluffy white cat with patches of ginger and orange. Her eyes were yellow.

Doesn't really matter. She was sensitive to her patients, though - kindhearted and patient, although she was pretty firm and had a sharp tongue that may have rubbed off a bit on Whitebird.

Story
-

Cherrykit and Pricklekit were born in MarshClan. Good for them. They existed for six moons. Then they became apprentices.

Cherrypaw became a medicine cat apprentice because she wanted to be a medicine cat. Good for her. She existed for six more moons.

Then she was named Cherrycloud. Her mentor died. She was now the sole medicine cat of MarshClan. Good for her. Pricklepad had babies in OrchidClan, but he didn't like them. Cherrycloud felt sort of bad about that, so she made sure to yeet MarshClan's messenger at the time, Moldmoss, off to go check on her niece and nephews occasionally. Good for her.

Soon enough, a kit named Whitekit started helping her out in the medicine den. Whitekit's mother, Fernfrost, died of some illness when Whitekit was five moons old, encouraging her to become a medicine cat. Cherrycloud found a white feather outside her den one morning, which she interpreted as a sign from StarClan that Whitekit was to be her apprentice. So they did that. Cherrycloud became Whitepaw's mentor. Good for her. She had a pretty nice, tight bond with Whitepaw, and felt sort of maternal toward her. It was sweet. She eventually named her Whitebird as a nod to the feather that had landed her the role of a medicine cat. Cherrycloud and Whitebird existed for a while. Good for them. Pricklepad died at some point. Cherrycloud was getting kind of old now. Good for her. One day, she was trying to gather herbs near FallClan's border, but it was kind of stormy at the time. Cherrycloud accidentally fell into the water, and since it was all swishy and wacko, she got smashed into some rocks and died. Good for her.

Trivia

 * Not to be confused with Cherrydust, a FallClan warrior with a similar color scheme.
 * Her name was originally going to be Redsplash. But then I (Starling) remembered I already have a character named Redfire. So then it was going to be Cherrysplash. But then I decided Cherrycloud would sound better.
