Edda

Edda was a primarily black tortoiseshell she-cat.

Appearance

 * The first medicine cat of ThicketClan was said to be quite beautiful, with a dappled tortoiseshell coat that was primarily black in color. She frequently smelled of herbs and spices, considering that she spent a majority of her time in the medicine cat den. Edda was a little on the heavy side, especially for her short stature, which lead to her later health failure.

Character

 * Edda was rumored to be a reserved member of her clan, a cat that was quietly as patriotic as her former mate. She didn't, however, share their enjoyment for battle and instead sought out ways to help them in the form of medicine. She was very passionate about her duty and loved to spread her knowledge, but unfortunately, most everyone thought that herbs were gross.

Adulthood

 * Like most cats, Edda was displaced when the groups disbanded, and she ended up wandering independently for a while. She eventually came across a forest that she was keen on calling her home, as she had a knack for herbs, but she was chased out by a hostile group of rogues.


 * Not long after, Edda heard of a tom named Artorius that was creating a group to drive out the aggressive rogues in honor of his mother. She joined up and offered her healing touch to help them out, but refused to fight. She kept her promise and healed the injured warriors after they successful banished the rogues.


 * Edda quickly fell in love with Artorius when she began to spend more time with him. She fully supported him as leader, but before long, became too involved with her duty. She broke her relationship off with Artorius and they ended on good terms, leading them to continue to work well together. She became his full medicine cat when ThicketClan was officially established.


 * Many moons later, she even took up his son, Gawain, as her apprentice. She served her clan for a relatively long time until she finally surrendered to an underlying case of diabetes.
