Rabbitclaw's Links
They are boyfriends, and they care very deeply for eachother.
Crowwing (or at the time Crowpaw) was one of the first cats besides Sheepheart that actively tried to get to know Rabbitpaw and include him in the clan.
They are boyfriends, and they care very deeply for eachother.
Rabbitclaw and Sheepheart are a combination between brothers and best friends. They care deeply for eachother, and would do anything for eachother in a heartbeat.

After Rabbitpaw had been badly wounded from a fox, Sheepheart (a cat Rabbitpaw had never met) healed him singlehandedly even after his clan was against it. Even in the begining when Rabbitpaw was difficult, scared and untrusting and perhaps a bit volatile- Sheepheart was patient with him.
Eventually Rabbitpaw realized Sheepheart was a cat who could be trusted, and got to know him better. Rabbitpaw soon found out that Sheepheart was a kind cat with an interesting sense a humor and the endearing abillity to talk about herbs for hours. Over time, whether that time was just them hanging out in the medicine den, or Sheepheart teaching Rabbitpaw about herbs as his mentor, the two cats only grew closer.
Sheepheart and Rabbitclaw both confide in eachother regularly and enjoy spending time together.

At a time where Sheepheart didn't have many cats he was close to, Rabbitpaw came into his life. Taking care of Rabbitpaw's wounds, he soon grew close to the strange cat. Sheepheart had never been close to his biological brother, and Smokechaser had grown distant from him since becoming deputy, so Rabbitpaw filled a hole in Sheepheat's life that had long been empty.
Unlike most cats, Rabbitpaw doesn't mind Sheepheart's endless chattering, and actually thinks being a medicine cat (and learning about different herbs and their appliances) is cool. Smokechaser has always listened to Sheepheart blab about herbs, but Sheepheart knew that he didn't share the same fervor for herbs that Sheepheart does. Having someone who is just as passionate about being a medicine cat, and about herbs, is something Sheepheart has never had before.

Rabbitclaw doesn't like Owlshade. She's annoying and has a grudge against him for whatever asinine reason. Rabbitclaw wishes that he and Owlshade could just mutually agree to dislike eachother in private, but Owlshade always has to make a big deal out of it.
Owlshade was one of the cats vehemently against letting Rabbitpaw join the clan. She still doesn't like Rabbitclaw. He's smart-mouthed, sarcastic, and doesn't follow the warriors' traditions.
Smokechaser was in a way Rabbitclaw's "secondary mentor". Smokechaser taught Rabbitpaw how to fight and hunt, on request of Rabbitpaw, and also kept it a secret from the rest of the clan, even from Sheepheart and his own apprentice Crowpaw.
Rabbitpaw voiced his opinion that he thought medicine cats not knowing how to defend themselves or how to hunt was stupid, and Smokechaser begrudgingly agreed with him.
Rabbitpaw asked Smokechaser because he seemed like the most trustworthy cat at the time (he was friends with both Crowwpaw and Sheepheart, so he had to be a good cat) and Rabbitpaw heard Smokechaser was the "deputy of Ironclan", which was apparently a high position. Rabbitpaw doubted Smokechaser would be able to be "the deputy" unless he was at least an adequate fighter.
And so they went behind their clan's back and met in the abandoned barns to train.

Rabbitpaw voiced his opinion that he thought medicine cats not knowing how to defend themselves or how to hunt was stupid, and Smokechaser kind of agreed with him. Especially after how many cats were lost in the epidemic, any cat that new how to hunt is useful, and a cat not knowing how to defend themself is just idiotic.
Smokechaser, already intrigued about Rabbitpaw as a individual, (and wanting to make sure he assimilated into the clan well since Sheepheart appeared to really care about him) decided to train him just for the hell of it.
