STRENGTHS:

Bloodpool has an odd talent for a Windclan cat, she is an exquisite climber. She seems to find just the right path up that will allow her to come back down as well. Her talent has been rather useful in retrieving troublesome apprentices and to avoid dogs. She can also squeeze into spots most cats can't due to her small nimble body.

WEAKNESSES:

Bloodpool cannot fight or hunt exceptionally. She was going to be a warrior apprentice, but failed miserably. Bloodpool is weak and rather frail so she cannot fight. When she hunts rabbits or other prey she cannot seem to kill them. Nowadays, when she is out looking for herbs and she smells a rabbit, she tries to catch it, but still cannot. Bloodpool seems adequate to hunt squirrels, but still cannot kill them.

Fears:

Bloodpool is constantly afraid that she isn't doing her job correctly or that people don't like her, even though she is a great medicine cat. She is constantly afraid that a cat will die in her care and her clan will blame her for it though she has never let a cat die before. Because of this fear she is constantly wearing herself out so no one thinks she isn't trying. Also, Bloodpool has an un-natural fear of drowning, and her father's name wasn't helpful with that.

Habits:

After having one of her constant bloody nightmares, she tends to eat less the next day. Also, she sometimes says things that can be considered rude and things that don't need to be said. Bloodpool regrets things after she says them and always tries to fix things. Though most of the time this just makes it worse.

Dreams:

She constantly has nightmares that are filled with blood of cats she never knew but feel she has a loose connection with. She doesn't tell anyone about these as they are one of the only things she keeps to herself. She is constantly asking Starclan what these mean, but star clan never reveals it. (These are later revealed as she killed her siblings in the womb)

Secrets:

She doesn't know, but she killed her litter mates in the womb and has constant bloody nightmares about it. She doesn't tell anyone about these dreams, and the day after she has had them she tends to eat very little. No one seems to notice anything different.

HISTORY:

When Bloodpool was just a kit she was curious about being a medicine cat. One day she decided to play medicine cat and gave her self some death berries on accident. She almost died that day, but the former medicine cat Breakingnight saved her. After that day her curiosity for medicine was suppressed for fear of hurting herself, or other cats like that again. She tried to be a normal warrior apprentice, but she failed miserably due to her weak body and nimble bones. After a moon of miserable failing and snickers from the other apprentices she began training with Breakingnight. Bloodpool made sure she knew which herbs were dangerous before she knew which plants would help. As for other aspect of her childhood, she was born to a cocky, but beautiful, queen, and a rather depressed, but strong, father. She was the only in her liter, but Breakingnight thought there would be more. She killed the others in the womb and doesn't know it. She is the younger sister, but has to act like the older as Leaffall is very playful. Her parents saw her potential and loved her at the top of their capabilities, but she never fully accepted her parents like most kits did. She has an un-natural fear of drowning, sure most cats fear the water, but Bloodpool won't go near the lake and sends other cats to get herbs that are out around that area. Her father's name made her think she was cursed to drown. She doesn't like Riverclan because of this, her mentor also died in a Riverclan battle, so Bloodpool tends not to converse with anyone but their medicine cat. She has warmed up to Shadowclan while most cats have not thanks to her friend.
