[A low rumble rises from Hollyleaf's throat and she appears disgruntled.]
A lot of studying. First, you need to have the drive and ambition, and sometimes, the talent. The...connection with StarClan. Some cats know since they're little kits that they want to become a medicine cat, others take awhile to figure it out. Some are chosen with symbols or signs. RiverClan's, Mothwing, a moth's wing appeared outside the medicine den, so the story goes, and she had the knack for learning about herbs and remedies.
You have to be able to memorize every herb, every illness, and still to show dedication to StarClan and skill at interpreting their signs and dreams. I...tried it, once, because I wanted to be dedicated to my Clan, but I was better as a warrior. My brother ended up medicine cat in my place.
