Yellowbelly

Yellowbelly is a pale yellow she-cat.

In Flying High: A Warrior's Parody

 * Butterflywing leads Kitekit and Greenkit around camp. As they approach Yellowbelly's den, Butterflywing explains that she moves her den around very often and is rather paranoid. Later, as Butterflywing shows the kits the pool, she slips and falls in. Kitekit wails for Yellowbelly as she races down to the pool. When Yellowbelly appears, she demands what they were bothering her for, as she was sharing tongues with StarClan. Greenkit explains the situation to the medicine cat, and Yellowbelly hurries down the path. When they arrive at the side of the pool, Butterflywing is lying on her side, having been dragged out by Wormfoot, her brother. When Wormfoot asks Yellowbelly whether she would be okay, Yellowbelly steps forward and touches Butterflywing with her nose, then dramatically announces that she is dead. Wormfoot wails and buries his face in her fur. Butterflywing blinks up at them, observing that they don't look very happy. Yellowbelly dramatically cries that she is alive, and the rest of CenterClan look unimpressed. Wormfoot, annoyed, calls Yellowbelly an idiot and nudges his sister to come with him to dry off. Yellowbelly stalks away after the two leave.


 * Kitekit pads out of the nursery to find Yellowbelly, and was surprised to find that neither her nor the medicine den were where they were supposed to be. Kitekit wanders around camp trying to find the medicine cat when a loud cough startles her. Yellowbelly hisses at someone to eat something and stop coughing. Kitekit peers into the nearest crevice, surprised to find Yellowbelly with Nightlight. Yellowbelly, cross, glares at Kitekit and explains that after the "fiasco" the previous day, she thought it would be wise to relocate, adding that it was hard to move Nightlight around. Nightlight bristles and indignantly retorts that Yellowbelly had knocked her out with her herbs and had dragged her around. Yellowbelly sneers that she could have drugged her and left her there for Stonedstar to find. Then, Yellowbelly asks Kitekit what she wants. Kitekit asks the medicine cat why she told everyone Butterflywing was dead. Yellowbelly sniffs that it was supposed to be dramatic, further explaining that she was supposed to "revive" Butterflywing and make it look cool. Kitekit consoles the medicine cat, but Nightlight interrupts, asking if she could leave. Yellowbelly warns the warrior not to tell anyone else where her den was before Nightlight leaves.


 * Kitekit pokes at a berry, and Yellowbelly screeches and swipes at her paw, warning her that if she eats it, it will kill her. Kitekit, startled, asks why she has it. The medicine cat suddenly becomes shifty and gives a vague answer, scooping the berry up and dropping it on a pile of identical berries. Then, wanting to distract Kitekit, she asks whether she knows what a couple of flowers are. When Kitekit asks, she explains that they are marigold and are used to keep off infection and for 'rashes'. Kitekit asks about the black seeds, and Yellowbelly explains that if you eat enough of them, it was a nice alternative to catnip. Yellowbelly goes on to explain several other herbs, including tansy, deathberries, cobwebs, and more. Yellowbelly also goes on to explain how warriors can be blinded by rabbits' claws.


 * Wondering whether it's true that medicine cats share tongues with StarClan, Yellowbelly blinks at Kitekit and explains that sharing tongues means sharing news and speaking, but that they do also receive prophecies from them. Kitekit eagerly asks whether Yellowbelly had gotten any prophecies, and Yellowbelly proudly says that she has made up a few good ones, but only really received one. She goes on to recite the prophecy to Kitekit, adding that she got it a couple days before her and her brother were born. When Kitekit asks whether Gravekit and her were the kits of the prophecy, Yellowbelly laughs it off. Kitekit spots Gravekit jumping into the pool, and Yellowbelly demands that the other cats let her through. The medicine cat dramatically declares him alive. Kitekit is shocked by her brother's death, having heard Yellowbelly wrong. The medicine cat laughs at how dramatic it had been.


 * During Kitekit's apprentice ceremony, she declares she wants to be a medicine cat apprentice. Yellowbelly headbutts her new apprentice, and purrs that they should visit the Greenstone right away, stating that the visit will be "awesome". Being so happy, Yellowbelly springs down the path and plummets into the pool. Kitepaw drags her mentor back to the edge of the pool and waves a goodbye to Gravepaw while waiting for her mentor to revive herself. When Yellowbelly couldn't hold her breath any longer, she opened her eyes expecting attention, but nipped Kitepaw's leg when there was none. Kitepaw protests, and Yellowbelly growls that the nip was for the curse. Kitepaw, confused, inquires as to what curse she is talking about. Yellowbelly replies that Kitepaw must be cursed because every day, a cat seems to fall into the pool.


 * Kitepaw follows Yellowbelly when leaving camp for the first time, coming to the edge of CenterClan territory. Confused on its size, Kitepaw asks why the territory was so small. Yellowbelly laughs it off, explaining that they wanted the best forest, revealing that DoomClan lives in a wasteland and DazzleClan lives in caves. Kitepaw asks whether it would leave them in a bad tactical position, and Yellowbelly laughs again, saying that none of the leaders would even know what tactics were. Later, the two cats are climbing up a slope, and Kitepaw hooks her claws onto the edge of the top. Yellowbelly stomps on them, dramatically proclaiming that she killed Kitepaw's father. Kitepaw whimpers at Yellowbelly that she was hurting her paws, she releases Kitepaw. Approaching a sign, Kitepaw reads the words: 'Caution: Radioactive'. Misinterpreting this, Yellowbelly thinks Kitepaw received a sign from StarClan. The two cats finally reach the Greenstone. They enter StarClan and are met with a giant party. Upon arriving, Yellowbelly dances to the music, and a tom calls out to her. Ravestar and Yellowbelly exchange a few words before the medicine cat goes off to tell a story to a group of cats.


 * After they wake up, Yellowbelly is happy, and proclaims that she cannot wait for the next half-moon so she can revisit StarClan. She adds that Ravestar was 'hot'. Kitepaw cautiously asks Yellowbelly whether she got a prophecy, and when Yellowbelly waves it off, Kitepaw reveals that Ravestar had given her one. Yellowbelly immediately begins to question Kitepaw, until Leaffall interrupts them. Yellowbelly becomes more gruff around Leaffall, rolling her eyes at the clumsy she-cat, and telling her she was too late. Leaffall, undeterred, announces a prophecy she had made up to Yellowbelly, who gave her a couple of tips. Later, Yellowbelly leaves Kitepaw with a message to form a 'love dodecagon'.
