Nightfang

*"I have a wife?!?!?"*

-To Dave, Chapter 77

**Nightfang** is a supporting/minor character in Tales of Perfectheart. He is a RiverClan warrior, living with his mate, Sunnysong, and his children, Moonfall, Perfectheart, and Tansysong.

## Appearance

He is a big cat with a black pelt, and hints of grey on his cheeks, underbelly, and legs. He has solid green eyes and tufted fur at his cheeks, neck, and around his tail.

In earlier chapters, he was solid gray.

## Personality

Nightfang is shown as a strong and hard-working cat, he enjoys patrolling, fishing and swimming. He, however, is extremely dull-witted when it comes to relationships, as he appears to be unaware that he was in a relationship with Sunnysong and that he had children with her.

## Biography

### Pre-Series

During Sunnysong's kitting, he left to go on the border patrol. He only returned when Frostface, Meadowfoot and Copperwing tracked him down and forced him to be with her. Sunnysong asked him to name one of the kits, although he seemed confused, he obliged, Naming Moonkit after the moon-shape on her forehead. He helped come up with name ideas for Perfectkit, but Sunnysong ultimately came up with his name.

### Chapter 1

Although he has no lines, Nightfang is seen sitting with the rest of his family.

### Chapter 7

Frostface assigns Nightfang to watch Perfectpaw during the gathering, although we don't get to see any of their interactions.

### Chapter 64

Nightfang is seen sitting next to Sunnysong, but gets up after Moonfall approaches him, much to Sunnysong's dismay.

### Chapter 70

Nightfang is shown in a brief flashback, where it's revealed he won Sunnyfang over by saying "hey gorgeous" to her.

### Chapter 77

Here Nightfang gets his first real dialogue. He and Dave go on a morning hunting patrol alone together. He catches several fish. Dave asks if he needs help, and Nightfang tells him Dave is only there in case he gets swept away. Nightfang promptly is swept away by the current. Dave chases him, but Nightfang emerges unscathed, only asking if Dave moved the fish away from the riverbank. Dave asks if he's okay, and Nightfang reassures him that he's the "strongest swimer in RiverClan". Once they arrive at camp, Dave tries to talk to Nightfang about his parenting tactics. He seems confused when Dave asks him if he's Perfectpaw's father, simply saying that "he does partly look like [him]". Dave gets increasingly concerned as Nightfang obliviously talks about how cats were angry at him for not helping to name Sunnysong's kits or showing up to her kitting. When Dave brings up "his wife", Nightfang looks shocked and asks, "I have a wife?!".

## Relationships

### Sunnysong

Nightfang is shown to not care about Sunnysong much, as he leaves camp while she is kitting (even when he’s told not to). In the background of a chapter, he is also shown to be uncomfortably sitting by Sunnysong. Moonpaw comes over and Sunnysong greets her happily, but Nightfang gets up and leaves. Sunnysong also gets up and reaches for him with a outstretched paw. It is later revealed that this is due to the fact Nightfang did not realize they were mates.

### Moonfall, Tansysong & Perfectheart

Nightfang doesn't have much of a relationship with his kits, as he was unaware until Chapter 77 that they were his kits at all. He is almost never seen near them, and even leaves when Moonpaw approaches him. He is shown not to care much about them, leaving during their birth and only naming Moonkit because Sunnysong told him to.
