Thistlebranch

Thistlebranch is a fluffy, brown she-cat with a white chest and muzzle and amber eyes.
Thistlebranch was a medicine cat under Snowstar and Blackstar in the forest and mountain territories. She was born as Thistlekit to Frecklerose and Froststar alongside her sister, Moonkit, with Dawnpaw and Stormpaw as her older siblings. As Thistlepaw, she was apprenticed to Feathertail after showing an interest in herbology, but realised Moonpaw wasn't happy in RiverClan. As Thistlebranch, she became her Clan's sole medicine cat. Initially, she believed that Briarkit was destined to be her apprentice due to her vision, but Briarkit's death shocked her and led the Clan into a deadly illness, taking a life from their leader. 
She eventually healed her Clan with Ratbite's help. After Honeyfur left on the Journey, Thistlebranch took care of her kits and gained a close connection with them. She mentored Birchpaw, taking care of her when Nightfur passed away. After the battle, she also mentored Sunpaw, although he was hard to work with. Initially, she mentored Loonpaw after Ratbite's sudden death, training her in RiverClan to be a WindClan medicine cat. After the discovery of the Moontree, she gave them their full names and helped rebuild the Clans. However, Thistlebranch was slain during a gathering but returned to her Clan in order to heal the injured cats, losing so much blood that she eventually died. RiverClan grieved her death heavily and she passed away to SoulClan.
