description, gender, & age

Brown tabby she-cat, sixty-two moons. She has a nasty, long claw scar on her hip. Her eyes are an acidy lime green.

relevant history

StarClan chose her to be a medicine cat shortly after being apprenticed as a regular warrior. Her mentor, Voletail, taught her everything she knew. Voletail was an old cat, with a short temper, but the two cats actually got on fairly well.

Many moons ago, when Mintleaf was still young, GrassClan raided the quaint little Clan, Voletail was killed by a particularly vicious warrior. The tabby she-cat was left by herself, the sole medicine cat of her Clan. Some would say that's when she became grouchy, but others know better.

The she-cat found a soft spot in her heart for an enthuastic little kit, with cream colored fur. Almost immediately she apprenticed him, welcoming him into her den even though Mintleaf was extremely unwelcoming to everyone else.

That little kit became Creamfur in time, her apprentice and friend.

Then he died. It was a fox that killed him, while he was out collecting herbs on the edges of the territory. Patrols never did find the fox, and since then Mintleaf has superstitiously avoided that area of the forest.

She keeps connections with Creamfur, talking with him in her dreams, and at the High Den. Not that that makes her any less sour over his death; since then, she has rigidly refused to take on a new apprentice, despite her growing age.
