Yarrowpaw
"I hope my wounds will heal..."
Written Description: Yarrowpaw's fur is short and sleek as it lack any thickness and only has a bit of length of certain parts of her fur, like her tail. Her fur for the most part is white, and while it's not the cleanest and brightest white, it isn't the dirtiest either. If she spent more time grooming her fur however, it would be a brighter and cleaner white. She has brown Siamese markings on her paws, face, ears, and tail, as there are different shades of brown on those markings. Her eyes are a bright blue, which used to be one of her more notable and standout-ish features, yet with her recent and current injury, her eyes are still noticeable, just not in the same way.
Yarrowpaw has four, for the most part still fresh and more red, claw marks caused by another cat's claws, marking her face since she's injured. The wound starts a bit above her eyes then goes strait down, through her eyes and not her eyelids, then stops a bit below her eyes as she has the wound on both eyes. The wound on the left side of his face is deeper than the one of the right side of it. His nose is also pitch black.

Personality:
Yarrowpaw is not what you would call a naturally gifted medicine cat, with his traits, like the fact his memory could be better, that hinder him in his duties. But among those traits, he has ones that aid him in his duties too, like how he hates seeing others in pain and can become easily concerned over others and his memory usually is actually good when it comes to something he’s interested in. He can also be very determined and stubborn, and doesn't give up easily, even if he isn't always the most assertive.
Yarrowpaw tends to be outwardly polite a lot, and is noted for being more confident and talkative around his clan-mates, while he’s more shy and quiet around outsider. He is very welcoming towards outsiders though despite his different attitude towards them, and doesn't mind it when they join OakClan.
Yarrowpaw is bigender, with him being biologically female and using those pronouns, but he also uses males ones and prefers to be referred to with them. He would only be a bit bothered though and overall not care too much, if someone didn’t refer to him by these pronouns, but if someone did, he’d prefer if they used they/them pronouns.
History:
Moons age, two OakClan warriors gave birth to a single kit, a molly, who they named Yarrowkit. She also happened to be their first kit as this was her parent's first litter. Inexperienced as the two of them where, they loved and raised her the best they could with Chestnutflower's help, as though she wasn't kin, she was an experienced queen who always moved into the nursery when there was mothers in it.
As Yarrowkit grew, her skills didn't develop as much as they could have. She had no littermate to depend on to play games which would have helped to develop certain skills and while there may or may not have been other kits in the nursery at the time, they could have been too young or old for her to play with, and even if they weren't, it's likely that it would have been the other kit instead of her who would have to initiate any play. Still, despite this, she enjoyed her time in the nursery, even if her parents broke up during that time. Her parents breaking up didn't really affect her much though, as she was young when it happened and they had continued to both be more constant presences in her life.
Eventually, Yarrowkit's time in the nursery came to an end when she turned six moons, meaning she was ready for apprenticeship. So a ceremony was held, in which she earned the name Yarrowpaw as she became a warrior apprentice and got a warrior mentor. Shortly after becoming an apprentice though, her parents came to her, telling her of their wishes to leave OakClan, though separately of course, the former couple had no desire to travel together. The two of them also told her that they wanted her to leave too and choose to come with one of them.
Yarrowpaw's heart ached upon hearing this news. She didn't want her parents to leave, yet she didn't protest, it was their choice, just like she had to make her own choice as well. She had grown up in OakClan, she loved it and didn't want to leave it, yet she didn't want to be away from her parents, though, even if she chose to leave with one of her parents, that's it, she would only leave with one of them. After quite a bit of thought, she finally told them that she was going to stay in OakClan.
Yarrowpaw's decision obviously saddened her two parents, yet in the end, the two of them accepted her decision. So one day soon after that, she walked with them to the border, where she said goodbye to them and watched them leave. Though, this may or may not have been the last time she say them, as they may had chosen to live nearby due to their kit's decision. Either way though, the two of them did leave the clan, leaving their kit with another choice.
Yarrowpaw could have not chosen to tell the clan, but not wanting to bare the guilt of making her clan waste time searching for her parents who would not return, she told OakClan. While the news could have brought mixed emotions, it could have also roused suspicions and questions of her loyalty, as since her parents left, that very well could mean their daughter could too. Any of these possible concerns that could have been brought up to her personally, or if she heard it in whispers, hurt her a bit, yet she did her best to ignore it and reassure her clan of her loyalty.
Yarrowpaw got the feeling that it would be more reassuring to her clan if she showed results through her warrior training, yet that didn't end up working out too well. While she showed some potential in certain things, it soon became clear that for the most part, she wasn't cut out to be a warrior. This frustrated her, yet for awhile longer, she tried to stubbornly train as a warrior. But as she trained, she realized one good thing during her warrior apprenticeship, that she liked being referred to as a male as well, so she opened up to the clan about it, which has lead her to being openly known as bigender to her clan today!
Yarrowpaw continued to train as a warrior, until after a few other duties brought her to the medicine cat den, she found herself intentionally spending more time there. She began to realized, while she certainly didn't agree with all of the medicine cat rules and her faith in StarClan was a bit complicated (these are things she keeps to herself), she liked the medicine cat's job and had enthusiasm for it and an interest in it. So after some discussion, she was apprenticed to Asphodelberry and became the medicine cat apprentice.
Since her seventh moon, Yarrowpaw has trained under Asphodelberry, but has yet to be officially accepted by StarClan, possibly at least partly due to the medicine cat's disappearance and her injury after so recently being apprentice to the medicine cat. But hopefully, it will happen sooner rather than later.

Yarrowpaw's opinion on other character(s)!:
Asphodelberry (sully )
"I miss you. I miss you and I wish you hadn't disappeared, I wish you would return. I'm inexperienced, I had been apprenticed less than half a moon to you before the raid, before you disappeared, I don't know enough to be able to properly take care of the clan without you, and now I'm injured, I can't see the remaining herbs I have nor can I go out to collect more. I need you back, there is more than just taking caring of the clan I can't do without you, and the clan needs you back too. But...if you don't ever return, know that I'll miss you, and the close bond we could have formed as mentor and apprentice, but wasn't able to. Know I'll always be grateful for the fact you allowed me to become your apprentice, the medicine cat apprentice, instead of making it where I had to continue training as a warrior, even if things may have been different if I had."
Riley (sully )
"You were an outsider, but now you're someone being training by Opossumtail, and a potential, future clan mate, but I don't mind. I don't particularly care, I'm fine with outsiders joining the clan! We've only really talked once, after you were told to watch me and I wouldn't mind if we talked and got to know each-other better, just don't be offended if you notice I'll probably be more quiet around you. Before my eyes were injured though, I remember you being blind in one eye, I wonder how that happened, like if you were born with it or it happened due to an incident later in life. But I don't think it's my place or right to ask, yet anyways. Though, speaking of your eye, maybe if I ask, you'll be able to help me with some of the burdens my current injury gives me. I hope that will be the case, if I do ask."
Feel free to ask Yarrowpaw on his opinion on your character(s)!

This wonderful piece of artwork was drawn by sully !
(I'm sorry that I had to upload it to my st.ash, but it said it was too big so I made it smaller, but even after I was able to upload it after that, it didn't end up showing the whole image once I posted this thread, and I didn't want to mess with it anymore, so I just did this. It ended up being more convenient, but I still wish I had been able to show it through the attachments >.>)
