Personality: Poppyrain being a cute pocket sized little girl is only just a bonus when it comes to her looks. But, her tiny nature is a fierce little thing to deal with. She's not mean of course but she's rather energetic and eager to learn and go about her life. She loves exploring new things and has a tendency to bug people if she finds something interesting to entertain her. She's also a bit of a sassy little thing; as she believes size means nothing when it comes to the strength within. Because she's such an eager learner she is also has a habit of eavesdropping to get information and has no problem with sharing what she learns which makes her come off as a bit of an annoying smarty pants. She loves getting into arguments with cats when it comes to who's right and wrong and is a bit mischievous. She's innocent though and doesn't lie which is how she is rather annoying to others. But no matter how annoying, sassy, and cocky she could get she does still have feelings and she's rather sensitive when it comes to someone outright attacking her because of her big mouth that gets her into trouble a lot. She's a sweet girl though and just wants to be friends with anyone and everyone she can even if it gets her in trouble. She wants to see the good in everyone not realizing sometimes no one is perfect and not everyone is good which gets her into a few scrapes that has her physically seeing the medicine den because she explored in places she wasn't supposed too. She's a bit of a handful that's for sure but she means well and is adorable and she plainly knows it.
History: Poppyrain grew up in as a trio with her and her two sisters Yarrowroot and Webripple. The three of them were known for being trouble makers within the clan but in a good way. They were always so eager and energetic; pulling pranks and having fun to the best of their abilities as kits. They hadn't noticed the odd looks some gave them or the way that their father seemed so distant from them as kits. They did not notice the tension between their parents and just lived the lives of young innocent girls. That all changed though one night however mere days before her and her sister's apprentice ceremony day that Poppyrain couldn't sleep; her sisters soft snores kept her up. She'd noticed her mother wasn't present in the nursery with them and heard hushed voices arguing outside. She'd snuck out of the nests to see if she could get close enough to hear what it was said. The voices were familiar but she didn't knew who they were. She assumed her mother's voice was one of them as her mother wasn't present. But there was also two male voices she came to realize. She had to sneak back to bed when she heard the voices silence and she wondered what that was all about.
It wasn't until a few days later right before their ceremony that Poppyrain realized that her foster uncle; her father's and mother's best friend growing up, had snuck out to leave. When she caught up to him by the entrance he gave a smile and offered her his well wishes but something about his tone and the look in her adopted uncle's eyes was something wrong. He'd claimed he was going hunting. Odd, considering that it was minutes before the ceremony but she hadn't thought too much on it. He'd left and it wasn't until later that night during her sisters' and hers vigil that she realized he hadn't returned. This saddened her but no one else seemed to know why or if they did they said nothing about it.
That night bugged her all the time even more so that her father who was once distant to her and her sisters completely ignored them. She didn't understand why. It wouldn't be for more many many moons later that she'd find out the truth of her heritage. That her father was not her birth father and that her mother had an affair with her mate's best friend resulting in Poppyrain and her sister's births. Poppyrain was growing up without the knowledge but with the nudging in the back of her subconscious to let her know something was not right. That did not stop her from growing up and learning, from making friends, and achieving goals within her clan. A cat is changed from the experienced they lived through not from whom they were born into.

Beauty is a joy that forever increases
It will never pass into nothingness

The air was crisp and sent a small shiver down her spine. Her short fur and lanky frame was no match for the cold morning and it's crisp morning air that Leaf-Fall brought with in. The blades of reeds and grass were frosted over and Poppypaw saw the vapor of her breath puff out of her mouth as she took in the scents of the morning. She loathed the idea of moving from her warm nest but knew that today was not a day she should remain still. Dewfrost was expecting her to continue her medicine cat training. Today was about what to find during this season and where to be able to find it. Pulling herself from her nest she realized the Medicine den was empty. The scent of dried herbs and the scent of water was all around her mingling with the scent of her mentor. The mentor that was absent from the den. Feeling panicked that Dewfrost might have left without her Poppypaw leapt from her nest and not bothering to groom her short fur she darted out into the clearing of camp that she'd been staring out at through the opening of the den entrance. She frowned seeing a few of her clan mates mingling around and a patrol coming out to drop their catches from their hunt into the fresh kill pile; her stomach growled at the sigh and faint scent of fish but she shook her head. She needed to keep focused and on track. She'd have plenty of time to eat later when she wasn't running late. A flash of white and brown by the entrance of the camp made her realize that Dewfrost was waiting on her.
"I'm so sorry I slept in Dewfrost! It won't happen again! I was just up all night memorizing some of the herbs in stock that you taught me about yesterday that I fell asleep in the den." she looked sheepish as she padded up to her. She wanted to run over to her and apologize like a crazy person but decided that a calmer approach would be better. Clearing her throat she gave the older she-cat a faint smile that held embarrassment
"It's alright. Just don't let it happen again. Come along now, we have some work to do. Today we will learn what herbs grow during Leaf-Fall and we will learn harvesting them and the process to keeping them for our stocks for days that herbs are low." Dewfrost spoke up softly and began leading the way out of camp.
Poppypaw nodded quickly and followed the fluffy she-cat keeping close to her shoulder as the older molly began speaking about the different herbs that grew during Leaf-Fall season all the while the lanky brown apprentice keeping her ears alert and eyes peering around her as she imagined the lay out of the territory that the particular herbs grew in.
"Here, this is one of the herbs that we are needing to collect today. From what I have been telling you what herb is this?" Dewfrost spoke up as they paused by a bush with blue/black berries littering the bush.
Looking closer Poppypaw sniffed the bush before she spoke up. "Juniper berries right? They resemble blueberries but the difference in appearance is the leaves of the bush they grow on. I remember seeing a few stashed in your store room back at camp. They are simple berries used for belly aches I think, and helps breathing issues too."
Dewfrost nodded with an encouraging look on her face. "Very good, you've been doing your research and listening. Juniper berries also are good to help counter-poision from snake bites and bee-stings for anyone with an allergic reaction. They are also a very useful herb when given to nursing queens before kitting." she explained.
"Wow...so many ways to use one single berry. That's pretty neat." Poppypaw laughed delighted at the idea of learning something new as she looked at the berries.
"Yes. It's very remarkable indeed. Here, let me know you how we should harvest them; we must be very careful because of the prickly needles and leaves that protect the berries."
Poppypaw was thrilled to be learning something new. She was happy when Dewfrost handed her the bundle of juniper berries wrapped in a beech leaf to carry along with them to their next stop. Mentally storing away the experience and the knowledge into her brain for future uses.
