TreeSpright’s Reviews > Yellowfang's Secret > Status Update

So Raggedpelt was announced to be the next deputy because Stonetooth is retiring and Cedarstar is down to his last life. He's guarenteed to be the next leader of Shadowclan and we already know that he does it. Yellowfang agrees to secretly be his mate while being a medicine cat. She doesn't think that this is a bad idea at all because surely starclan would warn her?

So Yellowfang has finally decided to be a medicine cat after Sagewhisker convinced her to because the pain she was feeling from other cats was too strong for her to fight in a windclan squirmish. She doesn't want to be a medicine cat, but she's going to be one. I really have come to dislike the trope of being forced to be a medicine cat due to destiny. Why can't there be more cats who just choose to be one?

The more I'm reading about Yellowfang's relationship with Raggedpelt and the way it keeps progressing.. It's a very abusive relationship. He keeps gaslighting her about killing his father (saying that he attacked her first when that didn't happen) and the way he gives her the silent treatment when she doesn't do as he'd like.. it's very upsetting to see the signs and for her to ignore them.

So yellowfang has had the ability to feel other cat's injuries this entire time. She's trained to be a warrior and is romantically interested in Raggedpelt who has heritage with kittypets. Right now, he's kind of giving her the cold shoulder because he's afraid she'll tell his secret. Also he's afraid the new rogues russetpaw and boulder will tell.

So far, there's an omen and just typical kits not being able to wait til they're apprenticed.
