Turtle Tail smiles at her love. Gray Wing has been her love since the beginning. However, he didn't see that. She knew that Bright Stream and Storm caught his eyes, but in the end, Turtle Tail won. She won his love and attention. He protected her from Tom and raised her kits as if they were his own. She was hurt when Gray Wing didn't see her at first, but she started to understand that Gray Wing never thought for himself.
She knew back in the mountains that Clear Sky would try to get Gray Wing to eat, even after everyone fed. She knew that Clear Sky loved his family, but since coming to the forest and moor, that changed Clear Sky, and it hurts Gray Wing. When she left to live with Bumble, she met Tom. He was kind at first, and maybe she could move on from Gray Wing, but Tom became abusive, making her flee.
She wanted Gray Wing and got him. Then, when she got pregnant, Gray Wing helped her out. Of course, jagged Peak always helped out, but Gray Wing made sure that he was always available to her kits. When Tom kidnapped the kits, Turtle Tail went to get them back. Gray Wing had gotten hurt in a fight with Clear Sky's group, Thunder and Lightning Tail went to get them back. Unfortunately, she was hit by a car. She was with her tribe, seeing how Thunder, Lightning Tail, and River Ripple saved her children.
They made sure that Gray Wing got the support that he needed. She was troubled that Gray Wing's suffering wasn't seen. However, she saw the four, and Thunder made sure that Gray Wing got the love and care that Gray Wing needed. She was happy that Gray Wing got together with Slate. The woman is good for Gray Wing, and Turtle Tail loves that Wind Runner has protected Gray Wing from Clear Sky. She would wait for her love and Slate. She's happy for them.
