last update : 10/19/25, 19:45 PT ⊹ please read throughly.

as a foreword, this might get long Imao, i have a LOT to say as i am pretty committed to the idea of sulfur being a medicine cat, but also because of the fact that most of the information known about sulfur is only available in the official tfcrp chaos server and her private googIe document, and so i will write as much about her here as necessary. the entirety of section II. SULFUR INFORMATION is prewritten, and the entirety of section III. REASONS and onward has been written specifically for this application.

{ please refer to the original project to see her full design. }

1. ever since the peculiar black furred angel had had been a kit she could manage to appreciate all ranks of shadowclan, but in particilar she admired high ranks the most. to her the whole concept behind them was delightly surreal; there were cats living amongst shadowclan. purveyors of justice, who had made the decision to dedicate their entire life to their clan out of pure loyalty. perhaps they were more saintly than sulfur herself, and perhaps she could also strive for this to change. she wants to be just like them. being made a medicine cat would only deepen her admiration for the other high ranks, and it would almost begin the dream for her, the birth of a star that would soon die out.
   
   
2. the silken sulphur’s passion has always lied within the helping of others, and to her being a medicine cat would satiate and stoke the flames of this passion for her. though she has her own motives for wanting to help her actions frame it as merely a strong desire to help. a desire to hold others and care for any tortured souls when no one else will.
   
   
3. sulfur is an amiable soul; giving, friendly, while not being free of grudges or hatred she will never let allegiance or relationships clouds her judgement when it comes to her justice, and especially being a healer. she is fair in her view of life and truly believes that anyone deserves a chance to live in the fleeting moment that is life. the insignificant wounds that are resentment and personal will never bleed into her professional life.
   
   
4. put her rather aloof exterior and her own desires aside and you will find that sulfur is very sweet, patient, and down to earth. she will always try her best and present herself in the most positive, nurturing light for the sake of her patients. she will talk to them and might even joke around a bit to make them feel at ease.
   
   
5. despite being rather clumsy sulfur is never one to shy away from learning; in a realm where she is the guiding light for others, the guiding light for herself has always been her own curiosity and intuition. she was raised to believe that knowledge is a form of power, a currency valued above all else, and when sulfur tries her hardest you will find that she is skillful and strategic in her trade.
   
   
6. within her the yellow tinted butterfly wields empathy. as she meet you with her cold gaze silence remains yet it had almost seemed like words have passed through the space. sulfur wants to see inside. to know how you feel. she has the almost unnatural ability to understand the pain of others almost like its her own. in her eyes the most efficient way to cure someone is by trying to understand. understand their pain, and in turn accommodate them with this to assure a quick recovery.
   
   
7. sulfur has a pacifistic nature, and does not believe in harming others. she isn’t entirely a pacifist for she is still willing to hunt prey but she would never go as far as to harm another cat. violence is morally wrong. that is another dark area in her morality radar. a taboo. so when you are ill, injured, at the mercy of sulfur, you can guarantee that she will not cause any further harm. that you are in good paws.
   ・traits i wont go much into depth about include: good immune system (doesnt get sick easily), adaptive, responsible, decent memory

1. sulfur is very clumsy and unorganized. her workspace will always be a mess and she might end up dropping her herbs but she will never ever give her patients the wrong medications or apply it incorrectly.
   
   
2. sulfur is not the pure, benevolent saint that she claims to be. she does the right things for the wrong reasons. while she does enjoy helping others it is got her primary motivation. not quite malicious bit not virtuous either. there is an undescribable feeling that floods in with every wound she heals and every herb she gathers for her clan. a laced sense of delight, perhaps, a glue that keeps her sense of morality from crumbling down upon her. she has to be helping someone, be the savior, be the hero, or else she will lack purpose and worth. and if she lacks that, then everything she’s ever lived for, everything she has experienced would be inconsequential. insignificant. she cant have that, so doing her medicine cat duties would be an obligation for her. not quite a liability for it is still her choice, but something she feels as if she has to do.
   
   
3. she is very unapproachable, her resting face is perpetually annoyed and she has the scent of rotten eggs / gunpowder as does actual element sulfur, her looks can still deceive, as she is in reality kind and nurturing.
   
   
4. despite being completely healthy she hardly takes care of herself and being a medicine cat will not help her.
   
   
5. dishonest, will hardly ever tell the truth, especially if it hurts. she is not deceitful but she is untruthful in a manner, and it takes a long time to get the truth from her, if you can even find it plain and said as is, clean and undistorted from her worries about evoking too much fear onto others with her words. she might even underplay ones diagnosis to prevent panicking them, and it doesn’t always play out the way that she would like it to.
   
   
6. she doesn’t necessarily care for herbs or medicine and is here mostly for the idea of healing others.

• tl;dr, she does not believe in starclan, however this could change in the far future.
  
• in the unlikely scenario that sulfur were to get visions or omens from starclan in her sleep, but she would pass it off as just simple dreams, due to her not traditionally believing in starclan. she would simply conceal it from everyone in the mortal realm, and wouldn’t confide it in anyone; not her mother, not her siblings, not her mentor, not her fellow apprentice.
  

• resurrection, rebirth, and reincarnation do not exist to sulfur. there is one life, and one life only.
  
• the idea of immortality on itself is terrifying to sulfur, you cannot race against the wheels of death; it is a merely futile effort, but if immortality was actually real she would just hope it’s not her to be the next holder of it.
  

• at the very first occurrence of a gift she will accept it from truffle and treasure it like it’s an autograph, but afterwards she will simply refuse them.
  
• she is overall fascinated by him. in the first third of her apprenticeship she might bug him a bit to hear about his backstory, about the incident where he fought with his brother and even after that to find out how he was brought to such a position, but she will stop in afterwards, realizing her ways as being ‘pushy’.
  
• she genuinely enjoys learning about medicine from him and does not protest to being waken up and tested. however, though she listens she doesn’t always take in his teachings about life morals, as someone who is adamant in her already existing beliefs.
  
• sulfur often criticizes truffle’s bluntness, because unlike him she believes that everything needs sugarcoating to cushion the impact. she is meddlesome and wants to try her hand at changing cats who don’t want, or don’t need to be changed, but like her other pest-like qualities towards truffleruffle this behavior will slowly fade away as the moons pass.

• i estimate that the other mca will be older than her by at least 12~ moons? this isn’t really for anyone judging/reading and more of a personal note for me, and i’m not sure how much this would change their dynamic.
  
• regardless she might gently criticize them, albeit in a slightly hypocritical manner. nothing too harsh for she does not see harshness as a ethical means of helping others, but that’s all there is to it. she simply want’s to help the other apprentice to meet their fullest potential as well.
  
• she will mostly treat them as a normal clanmate and will volunteer to assist them at their beck and call. even with personal issues, if sulfur is close enough to them.
  
• she is competitive, not in a snobbish way but a friendly way, however it is a tactic of sort to bring the best out of the both of them rather than a demonstration of her need to be superior; she supposes that a little bit of playful, harmless competition could potentially strengthen both of their medicine cat prowess, but she will try regardless to come on top.
  
• silently or otherwise not, sulfur will judge the other medicine cat. not quite on their ability to heal others, but rather their behavior. very few cats make it onto sulfur’s moral radar, but when you are it is like tip-toeing on eggshells; if you have a trait that she considers to be bad she will try to purify it, to avail or no avail. her efforts to change others are just that; efforts.
  

1. { see: affinity with death } this is probably a common idea in most mca applications so i will give a generalized version of it for both deaths and wounds. sulfur is very hard on herself. in a situation as major as ending up losing one of her patients, or even something as minor as unsuccessfully healing a wound will cause her to feel very guilty about it. though it might seem almost trivial to be upset over a simple failed healing to onlookers, its a memory that will roll around in her mind like fog for a very long time. a single, lone stone can only slightly wither her flimsy tower, but what happens if you put on more pressure? a one. a two. a three, and then it will all come tumbling down for her. it might even cause her to doubt her ability to heal and care for others.
   
2. around ARC OBLIVION she will be very dissociative, and only focus on her medicine cat duties as a distraction. she was chosen as medicine cat and no opinions of her can change that, but with every wound she dresses cold silence lingers in the air. she continues to do her duties but she now believes she is undeserving of her position; to heal, to love, to touch, she is undeserving, and she cannot make herself deserve, but she can still try to give what remains of her vacant shell to others.
