Imagine a medicine cat.
They can't treat fleas.
They can barely treat eye problems.
They can barely treat fatal wounds.
[end of being unable to treat stuff]
They can't care for their herbs.
They can barely train an apprentice.
They can barely remember traveling herbs.
[end of being unable to care for stuff]

Wouldn't you hate that?
Medicine cats like this, especially in roleplays, make me wanna tear my skin off. It's a pet peeve.
You don't have to be an expert herbalist.
You don't have to know every use, genetic and location of St. John's Wort.
You don't have to own an herb garden.
But you really should know your remedies.

If you're reading this, either you're determined to become a good medicine cat, want to test your skills [but believe you already have all of them, nobody does], or are just chilling to review guides.
More things will be explained in the introduction.

Warriors - The Leopard's Apprentice by TheSpearOfLight
30 parts Complete Mature
Leopardwillow has always wanted an apprentice from the moment she was an apprentice herself to the moment she became a warrior... There was one exception however she would beg Starclan not to mentor the stubbornest, violentist, evil-seeming kit ever- Smokekit. Little does she know that just so happens to be Starclan's will not only will she need to mentor Smokekit, tensions rise higher and higher within Lakeclan and a war will be hard to avoid, and Foxbristle; Leopardwillow's sister is accused of Bearstar's murder. On top of that drama Leopardwillow still has to save her clan from whatever danger lies ahead-little does she know her stubborn apprentice might be the cause for all this chaos... Excerpt: Flamestar's one amber eye shone in the moonlight; the moon soon disappeared from within the clouds. "I did not fail Junipercloud." Leopardwillow spat, "you should know not to kill warriors during things so ridiculous as border skirmishes Starclan doesn't want us to kill each other." By now her fur stood on end but Flamestar looked terrifyingly calm. "I suppose, but the way I see it there should only be one clan not two. How ridiculous our ancestors decided it." Flamestar said with a curious tone. "I shall make this short before we depart young warrior - I'd watch my back from now on if I were you." the orange she-cat said thoughtfully. Timberheart leapt off the boulder "Is that a threat?!" he growled. Flamestar thought her words over "Maybe. Lakeclan to me!" she yowled before either of them had time to respond. A death sentence just waiting to happen Leopardwillow thought sadly. Dovesong was right; A war was on the verge of happening and not even Starclan could stop that. All Characters are my own ©

Warriors Fanfiction: Evils of Darkness: Shadows and Light by CrystalwingOC

2023 EDIT: This was my first proper book on here, and is quite cringy and badly-written, so please don't judge all too much! ^^' ~ Now, many generations after the lake-side Clans, AirClan, LeafClan, SunClan, NightClan and LakeClan are thriving in their new territories. But another danger arrises. Mysterious prophecies swarm around the leaders and medicine cats, warning about an evil unknown to even StarClan. Each Clan has their troubles, but this evil- this evil makes them even worse. Blossompaw is the apprentice to Crystalwing, the medicine cat of AirClan, but even with such an important role, she always feels ignored. Everyone swoons over her, sympathising with her, caring for her, when all she wants is for cats not to do that, to listen. However, when StarClan tell her of this evil, she may get the chance to prove herself to everyone. Rockpaw feels like an outcast, everyday being hated on by his Clanmates for seeing things differently. So when the chance to prove them wrong comes up, he doesn't give it a second thought. But the evil still resides, and Rockpaw might know more about it then he's letting on, even to himself. Greyshard, as a former kittypet, has always thought of life in the Clans as challenging. For her, everything seems to go wrong. Every plan, every schedule, every patrol - ends up in a disaster, and its always because of her. But when the evil shakes up her life and splits her soul, she may find enough courage to make everything right again. ~~~~~ I hope you enjoy this book. It is the first book of the first series of my Warriors fanfictions. This is Warriors, so there will be some blood and fighting. However, there are no major gore or mating scenes. Started on: 31-7-21 Completed on: 30-12-21 Also, Warriors does not belong to me. Neither do the chapter pictures. No copyright infringement intended. All of the characters, the plot, maps etc. belong to me. Please do not copy them. Thank you and enjoy.
The Whispering Storm || A Warrior Cats Fanfiction by AngelTheWildWolf
61 parts Complete
Every disaster that threatens a Clan means StarClan will come and save you. You'll receive a prophecy that will save everything you love. The peril is vanquished in a battle, and there is no need for sleeping with one eye open anymore. StarClan will forever watch over you from your nest and keep you safe. That is what has been passed down from generations. Not every tale has to end like that: StarClan saving everyone with the chosen cat, everyone loving the hero or heroine - but it always does. So facing a challenge such as missing cats shouldn't be a challenging task. Moons pass on, cats keep disappearing faster and faster; nobody is doing anything to prevent the case. Everyone is relying on StarClan to send the prophecy to their medicine cat, just hoping that one day, the fiasco will end. Yet that's not the way fear works its way into hearts. Warriors, once brave and strong, now cowering behind one another. Apprentices with their eagerness to learn, now afraid of the outside world and going missing. Queens, always caring for their kits, now fearful of losing them to the mystery. Elders, who are as wise as the deepest river, now unable to provide an answers. With leaf-bare creeping up, the Clans are preparing for the harsh weather. Preparing for another season should be like gathering moss for the elders, but not this time. This time, the Clans are struggling just to assemble a hunting patrol and maintain borders. Forcing time out of daily tasks is asking the impossible. Leaf-bare is going to take the remaining lives of the cats that are lucky enough to even make it through leaf-fall. A silent storm will sweep across them and leave no traces; they might as well prepare to die in the white flakes of leaf-bare, covered up by mounds of snow, lost and forgotten. {This is a rewrite of my story and just like before, copying isn't allowed} {This is also a work of fanfiction! I do not own Warrior Cats!}
Warriors: Bloodshed by WholeLotOfDeku

The story of a great cat is about to be revealed. This cat had the same beginning as Scourge, tortured by her brother and sister, regarded as weak because of her size, and attacked by Clan cats because she was trespassing unknowingly. Well, this cat also has a similar fate as Scourge, she will seek revenge just as he did, she will kill cats just like him, and she will lead just like Scourge. Every cat has a choice to follow two paths, a path with glory, light, and loyalty or a path of bloodshed, darkness, and evil. Although, she will become successful in where Scourge failed. Her claws are sharper, her heart is colder and her mind is darker than Scourge could ever imagine. So will she succeed in where the former BloodClan leader failed? Or will she suffer the same fate as him and die just like him? Read to find out who she truly is... "Bloodshed is upon all cats. May some cat save us all before it's too late..." The Ancient Warriors of the Clans have spoken of a evil who will never stop the bloodshed she was born into and nurtured. "Fire Alone Can Save Our Clan" is the prophecy Spottedleaf foretold but there is another that she has not told another cat, but to only the Fire, Firestar: "Blood will rain upon all the living and nothing will survive its wrath. A very near kin has become the unimaginable. There will be nothing but them, and blood..." The medicine cat foretold as Firestar lost his first life against Scourge. Will he be able to find out what this means? Or will he be too late? Read to find out. "If you think that that weak black kitten is strong and evil, well you'd better think again..."
