Brief History
Barkwing was the first medicine cat of RiverClan, and one of the original five medicine cats. He and his sister Lightmoss both joined RiverClan upon stumbling across the early Clans. He became medicine cat after sharing his prophetic dreams, learning from StarClan and the other medicine cats. Barkwing had one apprentice, Bumblemeadow, and was murdered by a RiverClan cat in his own territory.

Detailed History
Bark was born with a mindset suggesting that cats do go somewhere when they die. His family, especially his sister Light, didn't believe it. When his father died, he spoke to Bark in a dream. His father's starry aura proved that Bark's mindset was correct. He knew without a doubt that call cats go somewhere when they die.

Bark and Light journeyed until they met a large gang of loners and rogues, Icestar at the center of them all. He and Light decided to work with Icestar, and they both joined the new clan, RiverClan. The two were originally regular warrior apprentices, Barkpaw and Lightpaw, but had yet to be assigned mentors.

Barkpaw became the Clan's medicine cat after telling Beestar about his dream about his father. After talking with Softweb and Icestar, Beestar realized that Barkpaw had been chosen by StarClan to be the Clan's healer. At last, all five Clans had their healers. Lightpaw earned her warrior name of Lightmoss at the same time that Barkpaw named himself Barkwing. However, tragedy truck - Lightmoss died to a fox. He was devastated, but her death motivated him to train harder than he ever had before.

Barkwing chose Bumblepaw as his apprentice. He and Bumblepaw trained closely together.

The day came of his unfortunate death. Barkwing was out on a stroll, near the Hiking Trail up in the hills of RiverClan territory. His death was fast; he was pinned down and killed quickly. His murderer's identity is not known to RiverClan.
