Introductions
Character’s Name ∙ Thistle
Age ∙ Five moons old
Gender ∙ Male
Residing ∙ Near Barley's Farm
Character Type ∙ Loner (for now)
Mindset
Overall Personality ∙ Thistle was put through a lot as a kit. He tends to distrust almost everyone, making few friendships. The few friendships he does make are particularly binding. Thistle shows very little of his emotions, keeping them bottled up until they burst. These generally take the form of anger or happiness, but sadness and love are also seen.
Inside, Thistle is almost tortured. He feels as though he is responsible for the death of his mother, even though he could've done nothing. Because of this, he tries to be perfect at everything in an effort to atone for his negligence as a kit. Even though he rarely trusts others, he makes every effort he can to please them, or to protect them from harm. All of these things are kept deep inside, however, and very few people know about these motives.
Additional Tidbits ∙ While Thistle began his life as a loner, when his mother is killed, he is still too young to fend for himself. His story begins with him, cold and alone, searching for a Clan, or at least a home.
Reflection
Height ∙ 5 inches
Overall Appearance ∙ Thistle is a brown cat, his fur speckled with bits of brown and grey along his back. His fur is coarse, stiff, and short, testament to his rough childhood. His ears are completely black, and his eyes are a bright green. While he is small in stature, and not very heavily muscled, he is quick, and stealthy. When he unsheaths his claws, they are a shining black.
His pelt has no distinguishing markings, save a small bald spot on the inside of his right foreleg. This he got from being grazed against a rock when he was a young kit. It's rarely noticed, but it still pains him if anything rough contacts it. He tries to keep it hidden, in case it is used against him in combat.
Backstory
Family History ∙ Unknown: Thistle's parents spoke very little of his lineage before they died
Family ∙ His mother, Elmblossom [D], and his father, Amberclaw [D]; his two siblings were killed before they were named
Birthplace ∙ Somewhere near Barley's Farm
Background ∙ Born to two loner parents, Thistle knew a childhood of hunger and chill. Caught on the edge of the clan territories, they were forced to eat crowfood for much of their meals. He spent a relatively normal infant-hood, however, despite these trials. But even by the time he was five moons of age, he still knew very little of the Clans they were avoiding. All that he was told was, "We don't mingle with their kind."
Thistle remembers very little of his father. His mother told him often of how he died defending Thistle's mother and her just-born kit from a fox. Apparently, it had tracked them by the scent of their vulnerably-young kittens, killing Thistle's siblings before his father intervened. It was almost ironic that Thistle's mother should join StarClan in much the same way.
One day, while walking through the Barley's backyard, Thistle was distracted by a mouse. Chasing it out of play, he unwittingly crossed too near the Twolegs' two dogs. His mother shoved him to safety, but she was caught. Thistle watched, terrified, as his mother was killed by the vicious dogs. Now he is without a home, terrified, with no way to defend himself, and blaming himself for the deaths of his parents.
