Thistlekit (TMC)

Thistlekit is a fluffy, white and gray she-kit with a plumy tail. She has a grey nose and bright, green eyes. 
Thistlekit was born to Honeyfur of RiverClan and Crowtuft of WindClan alongside her sisters, Ravenkit, Snowkit and Cloudkit. She lived in RiverClan with her mother, where Hawkflight acted as her adoptive father. When Honeyfur left for the Journey, Thistlekit was fostered by Thistlebranch and wanted to be a medicine cat. However, due to the murderer, she was dragged out of camp and thrown onto the Thunderpath. She was killed and mourned by Honeyfur before ascending to StarClan, guided by Snowstar. She was eventually raised by her father in SoulClan. 
==History ==
===Early Life===
Thistlekit is born to Honeyfur under the oak tree bordering WindClan and RiverClan, she is born in leaf-bare alongside her sisters, with the Clan believing her father is Hawkflight. She is more quiet than her sisters, complaining when Ravenkit lumps a pile of snow at her. Thistlekit accidentally wakes up Ravenclaw despite Honeyfur's warnings, causing him to feel irritated. The next day, Thistlekit races out of the nursery and steals a mossball from Hawkflight and Ravenclaw, while they were trying to play.
When Honeyfur is forced to leave for the Journey, she shares her goodbyes with her kits, vowing that she will return and that Thistlebranch will take good care of them. Thistlekit jokes that her and Thistlebranch have similar names and Thistlebranch reveals that Thistlekit was actually named after her. Due to her stay in the medicine den, Thistlekit learns a lot about herbology despite her age and feels invested, wanting to make her mother proud upon her return. She is also intimidated by Blackstar, but slowly becomes playful around him.
When Honeyfur returns, Thistlekit ends up going missing which causes the camp to spring into chaos. Blackstar sends out a search party for her and Rosepaw returns to camp, announcing that she found Thistlekit dead on the Thunderpath. Honeyfur is horrified and yowls out her grief, sprinting to the Thunderpath. Heartbroken, she retrieves her kit and attempts to clear her wounds, trying to keep her alive desperately. Fawnfur attempts to calm her down, leaving to bury the kit alongside her. That night, Honeyfur sees her mother's spirit and Snowstar states she will take good care of Thistlekit. She also sees Thistlekit's spirit and nuzzles her longingly. 
=== After-Life ===
During the gathering, Thistlekit is mentioned by name by Honeyfur when Crowtuft asks about the kits. Honeyfur states that Thistlekit was the killed victim, leaving Crowtuft shocked without much time to comprehend before Mapleleaf storms over to them. When Honeyfur visits SoulClan in order to spy on DevilClan, she sees Snowkit and Thistlekit playing together. She briefly greets them before speaking with Crowtuft and Thistlekit asks why she has to go to DevilClan, and Honeyfur replies that they must know their enemy.
