ColdPaw was never the bravest. So he felt relieved when he was made the medicine cat apprentice. Not much fighting when your the medicine cat. Your mostly a bringer of peace. But, He wasn't meant for that role. He had no experience in herbs, and couldn't see the spirits of StarClan. He felt like admitting this would make them angry, so he just pretended he knew. Pretending was what he was good at, anyways. He pretended to be brave and smart and spiritually gifted. But he wasn't. He never was.
