Thistlefang is a light gray tabby tom with white and blue eyes. He currently resides in the Dark Forest.

## History

Thistlefang was born as **Thistle** to Night and Bare along with Shady and Silk. His mother was a kittypet and his father was a rogue. His father was hunting by the Iceclan warrior when Darkstorm killed him. Thistle at the time did not undestand much of what happened, and soon, his mother died from a fox. His siblings left to become kittypets without him even knowing. Thistle was injured and ran away as far as her could, until his little kit legs couldn't take him any farther.

The next day, he woke up to find himself in a she-cat's nest. The cat revelealed herself to be named Violet and Thistle decided to stay there. Thistle played with Violet's kit, Spark, and enjoyed being there. One day, a dangerous fire spread through her home and Violet was forced to leave. Thistle and Spark were left inside as Violet struggled to get them out. In fear, Thistle ran far, far away, and ended up stumbling into Hopeclan.

Thistle earned the name, **Thistlekit** and was adopted by Wolfshade. He enjoyed clan life but still felt like an outsider. He wondered what life would be like if the fire hadn't happened.

Soon, he became an apprentice named **Thistlepaw**. His mentor was Bramblefrost but when he heard rumors that Bramblefrost was bad, he got scared and decided to run from the clans. Skystar offered to train him, but her refused and left. Thistlepaw did not want to stay in the clan. He wasn't even clan born.

On his own, he struggled to find food. He had learned the hunter's crouch but that was mainly it. He met a rogu who said they knew where Shady and Silk were. But instead of leading Thistlepaw to them, the cat trapped them in a Twoleg den. Terrified, Thistlepaw tried his best to escape. Luckily, a nice kittypet let him out and Thistlepaw thanked him. After a while, he decided to go back to Hopeclan.

When he came back, everything seemed different. It wasn't exactly the same as it was before but it wasn't too bad. Dawnstorm became his mentor and trained him. Soon, Dawnstorm couldn't train him so Blackwind did. Then Pebblestar trained him. And then finally, Ashfall trained him. This unstable apprenticeship made him seek a stronger mentor. A better life. And soon, Fangbreeze came to him.

Fangbreeze taught Thistlepaw Dark Forest moves, and led Thistlepaw to his grandfather, Raven. The Dark Forest made him grow hungry for power and strength, and changed the way he looked at life. While training, he killed Feverpaw in the Dark Forest, a descendent of Feverstorm.

Later on, Thistlepaw left with Egretstar and Deerwing after trying to attack Pebblestar. A short war between the exiled cats and Hopeclan started, but quickly ended. Deerwing died and took on the new name, Deerblade. Whiteflame was also killed by Thistlepaw and Egretstar during the fight. After the attack, Thistlepaw and Egretstar were let back into the clan but were watched over very carefully. Egretstar did not get to do leader abilities and was renamed back to Egretfang. Later on though, Egretfang became Egretstar again.

Some time later, a large hawk attack happened at Flatrocks and Violet appeared, fighting off the hawks. Thistlepaw eventually found her at the Horseplace and visited her there. She had three kits, Talon, Fang, and Claw, but two of them, Fang and Claw, and Tail, Violet's mate, were killed by a badger. Later on, a fox killed Violet and Talon and Thistlepaw was devasted. He then buried Violet and Talon and visited her grave whenever he could.

Over time, Thistlepaw grew a crush on Falconbreeze, even though they fought against each other during the fight. Thistlepw met Crow, who claimed to be a relative of him. Rats attacked crow and Thistlepaw left Crow to die. Soon, Thistlepaw earned his warrior name, **Thistlefang**. Thistlefang decided to look for more, stronger cats and met Lightclaw of EveningClan. Lightclaw was suspicious of him first, but Thistlefang convinced Lightclaw to train him.

Fangbreeze told Thistlefang to kill Forestfire from Shadowclan. Thistlefang obeyed and attacked Forestfire, successfully defeating him. Darkstorm from Iceclan ran over to see what was happening and Thistlefang attacked him. Left with scars, Thistlefang defeated Darkstorm. Thistlefang was later on given the apprentices, Stormpaw, Stagpaw, Lightningpaw, Shmooppaw, and Berrypaw. Crow's mother, Leafheart, tried to tell him that Raven was bad, and that Thistlefang should not listen to him, but Thistlefang ignored her.

Later on, Thistlefang tried to confess his love to Falconbreeze, who had just become Falconstar, but wasn't sure how to. Raven also got mad at him because he wanted Thistlefang to focus on his training, not his clan life. One day when Falconstar was hunting, a rogue tried to kill her and Thistlefang stopped the rogue, which instead, caused himself to die. He descended to the Dark Forest, where he was greeted by Raven and Fangbreeze. He continued to finish his training so that he could mentor or Dark Forest cats, in the process, killing Beetlepaw. Over time, he grew more lonely as he missed Falconstar. He hoped that he would get to see Falconstar at the border between the dead clans one day.
