Background
Honeywhisker was born in Leafclan to Poppytail and Icejump. When she was kit Honeywhisker was intrigued with what the medicine cats did for their clans, she would sometimes go to the medicine den to watch Shiverleaf, the medicine cat at the time, and his apprentice, Heatherpaw [later Heathermist], work with herbs and sick cats. When Honeywhisker told her mother she wanted to be a medicine cat Poppytail was disappointed, she wanted Honeywhisker to be a great warrior like her mother and father. Honeywhisker was sad that her mother didn't want her to be a medicine cat and thought that meant that she couldn't be one, then a few moons after Shiverleaf died Heathermist asked Honeywhisker why she had stopped coming by the medicine den, Honeywhisker told her that her mother didn't want her to be a medicine cat and that she wanted her to be a warrior instead.

Heathermist then asked Honeywhisker if she wanted to be a warrior, Honeywhisker told her no and that she would much rather be a medicine cat and so despite her mother's disappointment Honeywhisker was apprenticed to Heathermist. Poppytail didn't think her daughter would be a good medicine cat and barely spoke to Honeywhisker. Honeywhisker tried hard to make her mother proud but nothing she did seemed to be good enough, fortunately Honeywhisker's father, Icejump was a lot more encouraging and was very proud of his daughter. When Poppytail was killed by a fox Honeywhisker was devastated because now there was no way she could make her mother proud but she continued to be a good medicine cat.

When Heathermist retired to the elders' den Honeywhisker took on Olivepaw [later Olivetail] as an apprentice. The young tom was very smart and learned very quickly. Honeywhisker was very proud of her apprentice and trained him well. Honeywhisker never saw a point to retiring and served her clan well until she died peacefully in her sleep. Even after her death Honeywhisker continued to serve her clan and told Olivetail that the strange sickness that was spreading through Leafclan was actually caused by twoleg garbage upstream and told him the right herbs to use to heal the sick cats.
