Thornfire

Thornfire is a black she-cat with amber eyes.
== Personality ==
Thornfire is rather...fiery and gives insults out as easily as she can breathe, and often finds faults in other cats to insult; she doesn't have many cats she is close to, friends or family, because of this, but the ones that she is close to do not get away from her insults, Thornfire just uses them in a more playful way and less often. She holds grudges for a long time, meaning if someone makes her mad about something they might find themselves getting constantly reminded about it for quite a while, if not the rest of their life. Thornfire is stubborn, like her father, and will only admit that she is wrong about something if every point she has is shot down by someone; partially as a result of her stubbornness, she can be quite reckless at times, but is wise enough to recognize when her recklessness might cause other cats to get badly hurt or die. Since the death of her mate and the birth of her kits, Thornfire has become increasingly worried about losing more cats that she cares for; as a result, those cats find themselves being closely watched quite frequently, in addition to the fact that she was already extremely loyal to the friends/family that she cares for. She enjoys hunting, due to the serenity that walking in nature can provide combined with the satisfaction of being useful to Waveclan, and is good enough at it, but definitely not the best hunter in the clan; she is also a good fighter and can be quite vicious in battle. Because she has bipolar disorder, her moods are unpredictable, although there is always a slight 'aura' of sadness around her due to the death of Hailstrike, and she is almost always doing her best to get on a lot of patrols or going on solo hunts; when she is not making sure her friends and kits are not in danger or about to make some kind of mistake or avoiding the other members of her family. When in a good mood, Thornfire enjoys teasing Shorewater, Floundertail, and Oystersong about anything she can find to tease them about, which includes acting like they are still kits; as with most mothers, she is extremely proud of them, and she knows that, without them, she would be reduced to a lost, grieving cat who had no desire to continue living.
== History ==
Born to Jaggedstar and Thunderheart, she grew up in a turbulent environment, culminating when Thunderheart and two of Thornfire's siblings – Bright and Shimmermist – left the Clan when Thornfire's litter were still kits. Jaggedstar moved on quickly, making Swiftheart her stepmother of sorts, and having her half-siblings Larkwing and Currentfur, in addition to adopting Kitefall. She grew to have an unstable relationship with most of her family, and was a reckless young warrior due to being shown great favoritism in her kithood and apprenticeship. She wound up getting close with and falling for a tom named Hailstrike, who became her mate, until he fell ill during the plague and died, leaving her to raise their three kits as a single mother.
