We have a few main plots going on. The Burntstar's Fanclub plot is slowly falling into place as the involved kits are starting to be apprenticed and learn more about their idol to-be.
BeachClan is on the verge of attacking FrostClan. What will happen to the snowfaring cats if their sand-dwelling rivals succeed in their offensive? And what would this mean for the other clans?
AquaClan is still reeling from the destruction of their entire territory in a forest fire. However, spring is on the way, so the new shoots of green poking through the ash may finally be a sign that everything is going to be all right. They have been living in the no-cat's-land for about six moons now...

FrostClan has recently suffered a small snowstorm; expect sleeting and thick frost. RainClan is finding thick frost in the higher parts of the forest but it is quickly melting where the sun's rays reach it. BeachClan has a splattering of snow but it is relatively sunny with cold sea breezes. AquaClan is finding the same in their territory with morning frost preventing any new growth. Expect more rain and snow at higher levels.
Non-clan cats joining clans (this includes clan cats who were formerly rogues, loners, or kittypets).
(Imagine this cat, just with the facial markings.)
Swiftwind is a Russian Blue she-cat with green eyes.
Her paws are white, and so is her underbelly and chest.
Her almond-shaped eyes are mainly a dirt green, but the outsides are more of a crisp, paler shade of green. They tend to express her emotions more, instead of what she says or her body language. It is a strange way of communication, but it is one of those things Swiftwind was born with.
Her whiskers are long and feathery and tend to brush up against plants and leaves, which can give away where she is.
She is a mediocre fighter and always has been, which is one of the good reasons to be a medicine cat.
She is a rather fast runner, but cannot defend herself when it comes to the point when she needs to fight. '
One of the unique things about Swiftwind is that she has distinctive facial markings. Under each eye is a swish of a darker shade of grey, much like that a leopard would wear. This makes Swiftwind easily recognizable.
Her build is rather thin, which measures up to the size of an average apprentice. Her plume of a tale is an average length, along with her legs.
Overall, she is a rather pretty she-cat, but is very average, besides her unique facial markings and that she is weakened from the toxic fumes of smoke.
Personality:
Swiftwind isn't the best with words. Sometimes, she can't think of what to say to make an ailing cat feel better, or scold a kit for doing something that would harm him/her. She scolds herself for these things, thinking that she is such a mouse-brain she can't take care of herself or know what to do. However, this is not the case - she is smarter than she thinks. She can get into a state of panic over the most simple things, sometimes hating StarClan for choosing her to be medicine cat. She does have a deep belief in StarClan, but sometimes can't trust it, especially under the pressure of taking care of RainClan. She is hated by most of the cats of the Clans because of her mother's mixed blood and her father.
Often she behaves as helpless as a young kit, which never can be good for such a big responsibility. This often gets Swiftwind in trouble. She often cannot think straight, and only talks to a few close friends, which are often she-cats. But even they don't understand her very well, which makes Swiftwind often feel lonely.
She had always wanted to be a warrior, but apparently StarClan had chosen her to become medicine cat. For this, Swiftwind can often not trust StarClan, but she does however believe in it, since she has seen her mother in dreams.
History:
Swiftwind was born in the middle of leafbare, one of the coldest that has happened. Her mother's name was Maplepelt, who was actually born in FrostClan, so she was hated for her mixed blood. Her father was the senior warrior of RainClan, and had a very bad reputation for being aggressive and rude. It was a hard winter, and every one of the kits, except for Swiftkit, died. Leafbare quickly turned into newleaf, which was relieving to Maplepelt and Voleclaw. By the time Swiftkit was about 3 moons, there was a fire in the nursery. Voleclaw ducked in, to save Maplepelt and Swiftkit, but Maplepelt died, because she stopped breathing due to the smoke, and Swiftkit barely survived, but lived, as if it was a miracle from StarClan. Since Swiftkit was weakened from the toxic fumes, she became a medicine cat, and has been one ever since.
It would seem that StarClan chose Swiftwind to become the medicine cat apprentice of RainClan. However, it wasn't StarClan's will for all this to happen, however, that's what Swiftwind thinks. It was StarClan's fault she had mixed blood. It was StarClan's fault she couldn't be a warrior. It was StarClan's fault all the cats hated her. But, it wasn't.
Other:
I wouldn't mind a few other cats hating on her.

It is actually really good! Sorry, I had to change the font colour. On my skin the words were nearly invisable. Also, could you include a small roleplay sample?
