Personality + Physicality

Physical Description

Rocktalon is a tall cat with long limbs and a skinny body. Her ears are tall, tufted and a bit floppy on the ends. The fur on her neck and tail are longer than the rest of her body. All of this leads to a lanky, oddly-proportioned build. Her right hind leg has been amputated at the heel.

Scars / Injuries

Backstory

[Rockkit] • [Rockpaw] • [Rocktalon]

Early Life

Born outside of camp when her mother Boulderdark was on a walk, Rocktalon’s early life was marred with conflict- growing up during the dwindling end of the war with Aspenclan. She imagines she must have had a father, a clanmate or maybe a rogue stopping in the area- but it could have been anyone. Most of her kithood, instead, was just her and her mother. But they’ve always had a good relationship, so she doesn’t mind. Despite Boulderdark's cautious demeanor, Rockkit was a curious creature who always tried to sneak peeks at the outside world; first trying to sneak out of the nursery (and failing,) then trying to sneak out of camp (and failing.)

Adolescence

From the first time she was allowed out of camp, Rockpaw was enamored with exploration and discovery. As an apprentice she had a tendency to let her attention wander. This escalated until one night when Rockpaw snuck out of camp, but was spooked into running back home by the shadows on the rocks. Sufficiently terrified into not wandering territory alone, she now finds patrolling to be a better form of exploration. Her stature and long limbs gave her an advantage in catching birds while hunting, which is how she received her name.

Adulthood

She lost one of her hind legs to infection after a hunting accident gone wrong, but she's rehabilitating fairly well. Current events have shaken Rocktalon, to be sure, but she will not let them see her sweat. The idea of becoming complacent and bitter like the older cats around her is reprehensible.

Relationships

STANDING

CanyonClan

---

WOOOOOO, go CanyonClan!!! This is her home and she LOVES it! Rocktalon's got a lot of pride in CanyonClan and everything she and her clanmates get up to, but her seniors' melancholic and angry sides irritate her. If CanyonClan is supposed to move on from its bloody history, then something needs to change- and sitting around like a bunch of sad sacks isn't going to do anything!

STANDING

BriarClan

---

Rocktalon has mixed feelings about Briarclan, but they're improving. She's curious about their ways and thinks they're very pretty with all those flowers, but knows she lost family during the war. Someone out there...did they do that? But not everything is so uncertain. She's pretty protective of certain BriarClan-residing apprentices lately, and she is quickly considering BriarClan molly Rainfoot to be among her bestest friends!!!

STANDING

CreekClan

---

That's where Lilyfire is. That's where Jag's family is. There are lots of friendly cats at the borders. But...even those positive associations are somewhat bittersweet. Lilyfire killed her leader, betrayed her Bestest's trust. Jag's family seems determined to ignore him and his dad. All the friendly faces...somewhere, one of them might have hurt her family really bad. But that's not as important right now. If you see Lilyfire...can you tell her Rocky's happy she's okay?

[ Best Friend ]

Nettleblaze

| |

Nettleblaze is one of Rocktalon's all-time bestest Besties! These two have a lot of fun getting into trouble together and Rocky loves to have her around. She'd happily spend as much time as possible with Nettle...but it's not like she has a crush or anything! That'd be soooo embarrassing...

[ Best Friend ]

Pinkcloud

| |

Pinkcloud and Rocktalon are founding members of BestieClan, a group of youth within CanyonClan and beyond the borders. Pinky is so good at painting, which Rocktalon really admires- she's never been much of an artist herself! The two could spend all day together, but Rocktalon feels kind of insecure when Pinkcloud isn't in a good mood...they're supposed to be the two happy ones, right?

[ Mother ]

Boulderdark

| |

Rocky's mom!!! It's been just the two of them for as long as Rocky can remember, but she loves her nervous shaky mom with all her heart. Rocktalon is more than willing to take Boulderdark on walks outside of camp. They're a bit of a loner, so she hopes it'll lift their spirits.

[ Mentor ]

Asterfrost

| |

Asterfrost taught Rocktalon everything she needed to know about being a warrior! He's a lot more serious than she is, but his patience with her short attention span was essential to her growth. She sees him like the dad she never had, and his kits feel like younger siblings to her.
