Beechtalon has golden/yellow fur with dark brown tabby stripes and white fur on her snout, chest, right front leg, and tail tip. She has bright blue eyes and medium length-fur. Beechtalon also has a few scars from a fox attack and from fighting with other cats, mainly Raindash.

## Personality

Beechtalon is known to obsessively think about situations. She gets caught up in her own mind quite often. Due to this she has some anger management issues that sometimes cause her to lash out at other cats without meaning to, or blame cats for things that they had no control over.

## Skills and Weaknesses

Beechtalon is very good at sneaking around. As a kit she used to follow her parents silently outside of Shadowclan camp. She is pretty equal when it comes to hunting and fighting, but is quite good at using trees to her advantage due to a certain lesson on trees she had with her mentor Fallenclaw.

## Life

### Kithood

Beechkit was born to Poppybriar and Haypelt in Shadowclan. She and her sisters, Finchkit and Havenkit were born early, causing concern for their health, but all three were perfectly healthy. As a kit, Beechkit was very adventurous. She explored Shadowclan territory with her sister Finchkit often, and enjoyed talking to the older Shadowclan cats. Beechkit witnessed multiple deaths at a young age. When her mother Poppybriar was found at the scene of Rowanbite's death, she was accused of murder and ran away to Windclan for a period of time, taking Beechkit and her sisters with her. When they returned, Shadowclan's medicine cat Stormflight secretly gave birth to 4 kits, which Poppybriar adopted. Beechkit became close with one of Stormflight's kits in particular, (Rabbitkit) and thought of him as a real brother. Rabbitkit went on to create Pebbleclan, a place for cats from all clans to meet. Pebbleclan’s “camp” was a hollow log. Beechkit spent lots of time there in the future. It was the Hollow Log that allowed her to keep touch with her future mate, Flamekit and her best friend Pebblekit of Riverclan.

Beechkit initially met Flamekit for the first time when exploring Shadowclan territory with her sister Finchkit. (To be continued)

### Apprenticeship

At Beechpaw's apprentice ceremony, Fallenclaw was assigned as her mentor. Soon after her apprentice ceremony, her sister, Havenpaw died of redcough. In anger, Beechpaw blamed her mother and Stormflight for her sister's death until she finally realized there was nothing they could have done. Not long after Havenpaw's death, her father Haypelt also died due to a snake bite. Beechpaw blamed her father's death on Almondnose who kept Beechpaw from attacking the snake, but she quickly forgave Almondnose, realizing her anger was unjustified. This was also the first time Beechpaw got into a fight with Raindash. When the older she-cat insulted Beechpaw's sister and father while she was grieving, she attacked to defend their honor without hesitation. They fought until Fallenclaw broke them up.

A few moons into her apprenticeship, Beechpaw was attacked by a loner in Shadowclan territory after refusing to give up a piece of prey she caught. She put up a good fight but was knocked out cold. She came too when she was back in Shadowclan camp and learned that Flamepaw had been near the border and came to her rescue. (To be continued)

Adult Life

Beechpaw was given the name Beechtalon at her warrior ceremony. (To be continued)

Beechtalon eventually met Laurelivy, Flamehawk's sister, and the two became friends. When Beechtalon later had her first litter of kits, Thornkit, Frecklekit, Havenkit, and Starlingkit, While Beechtalon took Thornkit and Havenkit back to Shadowclan with her, Flamehawk took Frecklekit and Starlingkit to Thunderclan where Laurelivy, who recently had her own litter of kits, could nurse and raise them. The two she-kits never knew who their real parents were until Laurelivy was on her deathbed in Shadowclan after falling from a tree in their territory. Frecklekit accepted this news quite well and even decided to move to Shadowclan to live with her mother and siblings. Starlingcry on the other hand disowned her as a mother and returned to Thunderclan. (To be continued)
