CLOUDPAW
"I know I've worked for my full name longer than most cats. But my name isn't what's important to me right now. Helping cats is. I'd rather be in ThunderClan, still with my apprentice name, if it means I can prevent cats from suffering."
-Cloudpaw, Chapter 14
Cloudberry, currently known as Cloudpaw, is a large, heavyset white she-cat with a flat muzzle.
Cloudpaw is a ThunderClan medicine cat apprentice. She was born in RiverClan and originally apprenticed to Echosnout. Her apprenticeship went extremely long, partially due to her inability to distinguish herbs by smell. When ThunderClan's medicine cat Ravenwing was killed, Cloudberry moved to the neighboring clan to help heal their sick, even though they were hostile to her.
Cloudberry is a large, pure white she-cat with long, shaggy fur. She has a wide head with a broad, flattened muzzle and snub nose. She has wide-set, sunken yellow eyes. She is quite heavyset with a plump belly, thick legs, and small paws. Her tail is very thick and fluffy. She often stands with a pigeon-toed stance in her front paws.
Cloudberry is noted to not have a sense of smell due to the shape of her muzzle.
As an apprentice Cloudpaw is an enthusiastic, upbeat, and friendly cat. She tends to be a bit scatterbrained and self-conscious, but means well. Cloudberry is very empathetic, easily picking up on the distress of her patients. She is even-tempered and patient, and more than willing to put the needs of others above her own. She is also quite playful, balancing out well with the cranky disposition of her mentor, Echosnout.
As Goosefeather's mentor, Cloudberry has lost much of her youth's wide-eyed optimism. She retains some of her inquisitive, thoughtful nature, but has come to understand that ThunderClan is not so welcoming to cats they deem strange. She tries to put Goosefeather's best interests first by urging him to hide his powers, believing it would be worse for him if cats knew he could see ghosts.

HISTORY
Cloudkit was born into RiverClan shortly before the start of their Great Hunger. She and the other members of RiverClan were only able to survive the harsh leaf-bare through assistance from ShadowClan and WindClan. When she reached six moons old. Cloudkit was apprenticed to Echosnout as Cloudpaw. She remained an apprentice for an exceptionally long amount of time, even for a medicine cat. She frequently mixes up herbs due to being unable to identify them by scent.
After Petalkit's arrival in RiverClan, Cloudpaw was delighted to meet her, accidentally telling the kit what happened to her mother and littermates. When Petalkit showed symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder, Cloudpaw explained the possibility of a mental disorder, offering to help Petalkit. After Petalkit's angry outbursts towards her father, Darkstar mandated that she visit and speak with Cloudpaw every day for anger management skills. Despite insisting she doesn't like the medicine cat apprentice, Petalkit grows fond of Cloudpaw, especially compared to Echosnout.
During a half-moon meeting, the medicine cats discover Ravenwing's mutilated body. Cloudpaw offers to return to ThunderClan and inform them of his fate. However, while at the camp, Oakstar accuses her of foul play and claws her over the ear. Cloudpaw tries to downplay the injury, insisting Oakstar was grieving. Cloudpaw was extremely troubled by the state of ThunderClan camp in the absence of a medicine cat, and decides to move from RiverClan to ThunderClan, even if it meant keeping her apprentice name even longer. After she moved, Oakstar did not let her attend any gatherings.
