Short Backstory
Talonfang was found as a kit after twoleg kits had cruelly tried to burn her alive. She was saved by her clan and instead raised there as a warrior of Duneclan. Since then- she has never let her wounds slow her down. She's determined to prove her loyalty to her clan and show she can't be stopped.


 * Kit hood |

Talonfang cannot remember much before she was brought into Duneclan, and she can barely even remember when she was set on fire by the twolegs. She does remember her days healing and sitting within the medicine cat den. Once she was feeling her energy again as a kit, she was always tangled up within Sunflower's paws. The medicine cat was a saint for the young kit and often would have to scold her for getting into things she shouldn't! Briefly, her and Ravenkit had stayed within the medicine cat den until Ravenkit was seen fit for becoming an apprentice and went to the apprentices' den. The two briefly knew of each other but they didn't get to know the other just yet.


 * Apprenticeship |

Talonpaw had fought tooth and nail for the chance to become a warrior apprentice, no matter how much Sunflower insisted maybe being a medicine cat apprentice or retiring to the elder's den due to her blind eye and scars. But the young kit was determined and wouldn't take no as an answer! From day one she worked hard as she could, trying to prove that she was just as strong and capable as the other kits and nothing would be slowing her down. Not now and not anytime soon. She felt she needed to work twice as hard than the other apprentices, she was heavily scarred and she wasn't a clan born cat so doubtful gazes were not strangers to her. Even with the looks of pity during her gatherings didn't slow her down and only fueled her desire to be strong and show what she could do.


 * Warrior |

Receiving her warrior name, she was told she gave fang- for her strength and her ferocious skill in battle. Becoming a warrior was her proudest moment as she held her head high and promised Graceclan she would only continue to work hard for giving her the strength to be the best warrior she could be for her clan. Talonfang was a loyal, trustworthy warrior who often took the lead in patrols and was the voice of reasoning among her peers. Over time others could look past her scars and realize that maybe she was even more capable than most healthy warriors. Talonfang was known to be the first warrior up and on patrols to get the day started, even to the annoyance of Asterflame when sometimes she would get up before him.

Recent History
Recently, Talonfang witnessed the loss of Duneclan's beloved leader, Ruestar. She was there to help with cleaning his body and making him look presentable for the vigil. And then she was there to be chosen as the next deputy of Duneclan under Asterflame. The warrior was taken by surprise but took her new position in a stride- without missing a beat she filled in the paw steps that Asterflame had left behind for her. During her first gathering, that night as deputy. Asterflame broke the truce despite her efforts to calm things down, and was betrayed when he wouldn't listen to her voice of reason. Talonfang returned to camp betrayed, and angry but she made sure to hold vigil for the lost leader, Ruestar. She spent the whole night by his side along with Litchenflurry and Ravenclaw. When the rain had ended and Ruestar was finally laid to rest... The molly and her new found friend, Ravenclaw sat with one another and spoke over everything that had happened. All the events of that day having brought the two to each other in a form of comfort. After, she joined Asterflame in receiving his nine lives. Once returning from their journey, the molly spoke briefly with Ravenclaw once more, including setting out a search party for the lost apprentice, Larkpaw.

The molly is now still doing her best to fill in as the role of deputy, and even having gone on a sort of adventure with Ravenclaw as the two only grow closer to one another.
