Pre-Clan LifeVulture's life did not begin easily. The tiny molly was born the runt of the litter - and quite a large one at that. Being the smallest of six kits is never easy, but being the smallest of six kits born to Daya is even harder. Vulture was named after her mother's opinion of her. "I suppose you need a name," she whispered cruelly, looking disdainfully at the kit. "I'll call you Vulture - that's what kits are, leeches circling around my head ready to feed off of what I've managed to eat." Her littermates didn't fair much better, with names such as "Rat" and "Maggot." Vulture's kithood was spent primarily wondering why Daya even bothered to feed her litter.
Some of Vulture's earliest memories were hunting. Daya wasted no time in teacher her "leeches" how to fend for themselves. As soon as they were large enough to kill something, Daya began taking them with her on hunting trips and teaching them crouches and leaps. She also taught them the priority of human bins - if Twolegs were seen throwing something away anywhere, that was the place to watch. By the time she was eight moons old Daya was satisfied with her commitment as a parent and teacher and left her sleeping litter, disappearing into the dark. Vulture was awake. She was resting with her paws tucked under her chest, eyes half closed, as Daya shifted in her nest and stood to her paws. She caught her mother's eye, and neither of them spoke, but Vulture knew that would be the last time they met.
And so, Vulture's life as a rogue began. Some of her siblings remained together, and she was no different. Her littermate, Rat, stuck by her side. The two ventured off into the city, where they spent countless moons roaming from place to place. Nowhere was safe enough to stay for long, and the two of them amassed quite the pelt of scars, but neither cat was willing to part ways. Rat wasn't the kindest tom, and he was in no way gentle with Vulture - but he did it out of what he felt was necessity. Vulture was small in comparison to his well-built, muscular frame, and he would always protect her, though the love he gave her was tough at best. For a couple of years, this life suited them. That was until Rat got his injury, at least. He and Vulture had both grown into fine, skilled young cats, but even the best fighter is no match for a feral dog. They had seen it around the city a couple of times, running from Twolegs that were trying to catch it with traps and tricks. It was the night Rat had decided they were better off moving locations again that they met with him. The dog was bloodthirsty and when Rat yowled, "Run!" Vulture never looked back. She darted towards the fence, never believing for a day that Rat would fall behind. When she reached the top, panting and shaking, Vulture's gaze flicked back towards the alley, where the dog was gaining on Rat's heels. Vulture watched in horror as its huge snout clamped shut around his hindleg. She leaped from the fence and charged at the dog and her hissing littermate. This distraction was just enough to cause the dog to loosen its grip, and the two felines darted back to the fence. For the most part Vulture had to haul her brother to the top, as his strength was failing him. With Rat leaning heavily on her, the two found a dumpster that had just enough space under it for them to wiggle into and rest.
Rat tried to keep up with her after that, but his leg never healed. The tom's health declined for a few moons until his leg became heavily infected. It was the longest Vulture had spent in one spot; and she handled all of the hunting and fighting for the two of them, as Rat was hardly able to leave his nest. It was on one of these solo hunting trips that Vulture returned home and found Rat's body cold and stiff as stone.
Just like that, Vulture was alone again. She buried her brother and disappeared from the place they had been staying. For awhile, Vulture spent her days roaming the city and her nights searching for food and a decent place to sleep. Her diet consisted mostly of rats - until she found Varian, that was. It started with a scrape over food - a single plump pigeon that was just
lying there on the sidewalk, too good to be true. The next thing she knew, Vulture was cornered against the nearest building wall, two tomcats hissing and spitting. The older one, a scarred up old tabby, hung back, but the ratty younger tom was ready for a fight. Vulture was no match with him - Rat had always been the real fighter of the two. Before things could go too far, the older tom stepped in, and that's how Vulture made her two closest friends: Varian and his son, Anduin. Varian took pity on her and let her spend a night or two in the plastic box they called home, but those couple of nights became permanent when Varian became sick. Anduin and Vulture built an almost sibling-like relationship and took care of Varian for the few moons he remained alive. In this time, both toms worked with Vulture to help her sharpen her skills and teach her a thing or two. Finally, Varian passed, but this time, Vulture and Anduin had one another to rely on. From there, they allied with Sinbad's group of rogues.
Warrior + lifeIt hasn't been long since Anduin and Vulture joined with Sinbad. Now that her skills were sharper, Vulture held no hesitance when it came to storming the park and taking it for her leader. She has developed loyalty to her Clan and is adjusting to the new way of life, and was even willing to take a warrior name: Vulturesong.
P E R S O N A L I T YVulturesong is far from complex. The queen is gentle and soft. She would rather talk her way out of a fight than be confrontational, but when push comes to shove, she'll show her fangs - though it usually takes something that she believes in, such as fighting for the group she calls home or in the name of the cats close to her, most notably Rat, Varian, and Anduin (though only Anduin still lives). The topic of death makes her somewhat uncomfortable; despite losing both Varian and Rat, it still makes her uneasy, and she has never gotten into a fight with the intent to kill. Her mercy will likely be the death of her one of these days. At her core, Vulturesong has intense abandonment issues. She will compromise and bend however she must to keep a cat she cares about around for fear of being alone, which is why she thrives more in Sinbad's group than she ever did when she was lone or just with Rat or Varian and Anduin. Vulturesong is very devoted to adjusting to Clan life and has no problem leaving behind her own ways to follow Sinbad's Code, which is something she and the more independent Anduin disagree on.
