Scorpionsting

*"I know it doesn't. I'm just TRYING to save them from finding out that their father is dead! What the hell do you want me to tell them. 'Aww sorry kits your dads dead!' " [-] "Look. I just don't want to feel... that pain I felt with gulfp-spring. I love someone... and then it's only used against me. Like I had caused something to happen. Maybe... I could just... I dunno... visit him myself. He would have a choice after all. And I won't take any foul or cruel jokes, about my dead mate!" [-] "I plan on meeting Covebranch again and apologizing after I talk to him. And I would love to say hi to Kestrelpaw. I bet she's up there too?"*

**Scorpionsting** is a tall, yellow tabby she cat with multiple scars, with a scorpion-shaped tail and blue-green eyes.

Scorpionsting was a NeedleClan warrior under Snowstar’s and Codstar’s leaderships, and is currently a EagleClan member under Spiritbomb’s leadership.

As an apprentice, **Scorpionpaw** grew close to a fellow NeedleClan apprentice, Gulfpaw. While wandering around DeerClan territory, they are attacked by a DeerClan apprentice-aged cat, Sunkit, which leaves a scar on Scorpionpaw’s eye. She becomes a warrior named **Scorpionsting** while Gulfpaw had his ceremony delayed. Scorpionsting participated in fighting off Ivyshadow and Cloudeyes when they attack Snowstar.

When gulfpaw’s body is back to camp by Swiftletpaw, Scorpionsting loses most of her sanity, refusing to believe he is dead, unaware she is expecting his kits. This causes her to hurt cats, as when she nearly choked Sparrowpaw to death. She then kills Doespeckle, a DeerClan warrior, believing she had killed Gulfpaw.

She is met with hostility after she comes back to NeedleClan after her murder, leaving some cats distrustful of her. When her kits are born, she tries to spend as much time as she can with them, but often neglects them to do her warrior duties. Right before the NeedleClan fire, Her kit, Covebranch, was slain by Cloudeyes. Florettwist tries to tell her, but Scorpionsting brushes it off, believing it as a joke. While retreating camp, she is attacked by Ivyshadow and thrown into the fire, but escapes and survives. When she finds out Covebranch is dead, she greieves heavily.

Scorpionsting befriends a kit named Kestrelkit, and the two develop a close friendship. During the Great Flood, she acts out during a clan meeting after finding out that Florettwist had kits. Codstar and her argue in the dens, which ends in Codstar giving her a warning.

She visits StarClan and is greeted by Gentlemist. Scorpionsting asks to see Gulfspring, but Gentlemist replies that he has faded. She asks to see Covebranch and Kestrelpaw instead, and the two appear to her. The two end up not wanting to speak to her, leaving her alone. Scorpionsting snaps and kills Gentlemist when he remarks that they hate her.

She later kills her daughter, Florettwist, and running away from NeedleClan right after. Scorpionsting lives as a loner until she meets a SwiftClan warrior named Covespring. The two grow close and eventually become mates, and she has his kits. Scorpionsting later follows Fatekeeper to EagleClan, with her mate following with her kits.
