* LuredIntoATrap: One that wasn't even meant for her! [[spoiler:When Tigerclaw plans to kill Bluestar by leading her onto the thunderpath so a monster will hit her, his plan is foiled because the leader is ill with greencough at the time...so Cinderpaw slips away to retrieve the message for her without telling anyone, leading for her to get hit instead and permanently damage her leg via a horrific bone fracture.]]

Added DiffLines:

* YouDidEverythingYouCould: In ''Forest of Secrets'' she gets this lesson from Yellowfang after she fails to prevent Silverstream's DeathByChildbirth (though she does save the kittens). In this case, Cinderpaw's worries were compounded by the fact that Silverstream is from a rival Clan, and having another Clan member's death on your hands is not a very good place to be in this world.

* LoveHurts: Because of their celibacy vow, a medicine cat's love is always bound to end in heartbreak. If they act on their feelings and pursue a mate, they are forced to keep their relationship a secret, and at some point must choose between their lover or their duty to their Clan. Even a medicine cat who honors their vow and puts their feelings aside must deal with the painful realization that they can never be mates with the cat they love, and possibly watch them become mates with another cat.

Added DiffLines:

* BewareTheNiceOnes: Alderheart is a quiet, kind, and empathetic tom. But, in ''Veil of Shadows'', Alderheart tells off the imposter (who is currently feigning the identity of Bramblestar) for his poor leadership and demanding the blind obedience of the Clan, telling him that perhaps it's right to question orders. This got the imposter angry enough to exile Alderheart from the Clan then and there. This occured once more in ''Darkness Within'', where at a medicine cat meeting, Alderheart gets angry and practically screams that [[spoiler: Ashfur should never have been allowed to steal Bramblestar's body.]]


Added DiffLines:

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Alderheart rarely, if ever, loses his patience and breaks off from his quiet and reserved nature. That changed when he got tired of the imposter's poor leadership and reprimanded him for demanding the unquestioned obedience of the Clan. This happened again in ''Darkness Within'', where Alderheart gets angry at a medicine cat meeting and yells that [[spoiler: Ashfur, the cat possessing Bramblestar's body, should never have been able to steal it in the first place.]]

Added DiffLines:

* SilkHidingSteel: A male example, post CharacterDevelopment. It's best showcased in ''Daisy's Kin'', where he politely but firmly tells Smoky that he is a fully-trained medicine cat, these kits are dying, they ''will'' bring them to the Clans at least for now so they can have milk, and he ''is not'' going to hear any argument otherwise.

* TangledFamilyTree: He trains as a medicine cat under Jayfeather, who is both his adoptive brother and first cousin. Squirrelflight and Bramblestar are the adoptive parents of Jayfeather and his siblings ([[FamilyRelationshipSwitcheroo while being their aunt and uncle by blood]]), and the biological parents of Alderheart and Sparkpelt.

* CombatMedic: Medicine cats usually don't fight or hunt, but in the rare cases where a grown warrior is chosen to train as a medicine cat, they become skilled in healing in addition to battling and hunting.
* EarlyPersonalitySigns: It's usually easy to tell if a young kit is destined to become a medicine cat. They may show a fascination with herbs or the medicine den, or have prophetic dreams from [=StarClan=].

* MeaningfulName: "[Silly] goose" is often used as a slang term for a crazy person, apt for a medicine cat who makes seemingly meaningless prophecies at random. He also has whitish-grey fur the same color as goose down.
