## History

In Year 8, Bristlethroat joins GalaxyClan with her two kits, Lightkit and Greykit, early on. Shrewpatch and her had hung out a lot, and she had actually gained a crush on her, and bonded with her kits. Sadly, Shrewpatch had died to a dog before she could confess. Bristlethroat was sad when she died, but understood that, "that's just how life is." As a loner, she had lost many past loved ones, including her last mate (who had been killed by the rogue group). Her son had also died, right before his apprenticeship ceremony, where he was bit by a snake. Burdockstar had tried to save him, but she got bit and they both died instead, with Burdockstar just losing a life. She was on the older side, but did not act like it, giving off a sort of "rocker grandma" vibe. She really respected Burdockstar, after she had handled her son, then Greypaw's, death, and is happy to have joined. She has a bit of a wild-side, and her daughters, Mothblaze and Lightfoot, had inherited it as well. She also had gotten an apprentice this year, the cold Eaglepaw, but they got into an unfortunate accident, where a fox attacked Eaglepaw on their first patrol. Bristlethroat couldn't get to her in time, so her face got mauled and she lost her right eye. Fernheart had been terrified, but didn't blame her for the accident occurring.

In Year 9, she immediately got another apprentice after Eaglestrike finished her training, Hollowpaw, and Bristlethroat got a torn ear when she defended him from a rogue on their first patrol. She also had started a commotion at a gathering, along with Emberfeather. They had confronted Makwastar about her and SharpClan’s actions. This was also spurred on, as Makwastar had disowned her own son, Lightsnow, and since they were both parents at the time, they had took offence to the declaration. She was very proud at both her daughters, and was very excited, as Mothblaze was expecting.

In Year 10, During the Sharpclan battle, Bristlethroat stops Goldfish from going after Darkwhistle when he had gotten away. Other than that, Bristlethroat did relatively good this year, chasing out foxes and providing for the clan. She doesn't act her age at all, being very spunky and active. She was also a happy grandma this year, to Burnetpaw, Wolverinepaw, Silkpaw, Roachpaw, Pouncepaw, Pantherkit, and Moonkit. She's still proud of her daughters, especially now that they've both had litters, and is glad that her family is growing and getting bigger.

In Year 11, Bristlethroat had finally retired this year, mostly because she got captured by twolegs in the middle of the year. She eventually came back, but had missed the clan fire, and was sad to hear that her daughter, Mothblaze, had been trapped and died. She also got quilled by a porcupine earlier in the year as well. Since she was captured by twolegs for more than three moons, she had been spayed and couldn't have anymore kits.

In Year 12, Bristlethroat sadly died due to old age this year, being found outside of the territory with a peaceful expression. She dislocated her joint in the beginning of the year, and then was complaining of pain in her joints a lot. Other than that she seemed to be doing pretty good.

In Year 13, she gave a life of humility to her former apprentice Hollowstar at his 9 lives ceremony.

## Trivia

* Bristlethroat's death in Year 12 was the only death not caused by the harsh winter that year.
* Shrewpatch and Greypaw were most likely the first cats to greet Bristlethroat in Starclan.
