Appearance   Short Description : A cunning and fickle brown tabby tom with green eyes Long Description : Thistlefur has long, shaggy dark brown tabby fur that never lies flat on his burly shoulders. His long fur has a rough texture and is tangled with knots and bits of forest debris. The black tabby markings in his fur are scattered and broken. A lighter shade of brown is found on the tabby's underside and white covers his muzzle around his nose and between his eyes. His eyes are dark green and have a mocking gleam in them almost all the time. He has a long shaggy tail that is tipped with white. Thistlefur is a noticeable large, bulky cat, with proportionally large paws. Scars are found on Thistlefur's back, fore legs, and face. He dislikes water, because of how long it takes for his pelt to dry once its wet. He is clearly built more for sheer power than speed, with such a bulky and large body type. In a way, the appearance of his face does not resemble a clan cat's, there is just something different about his face that looks more 'roguish' than you would expect. Though Thistlefur is completely loyal to RiverClan, it begs the question, would he sacrifice the clan to save himself? It isn't hard to notice that not one ounce of Clan blood exists in this cat. He is a cat of loner heritage and always will be.

Personality     Thistlefur is an unpleasant, short-fused, angry, and depressed sort of cat. The term passive aggression is unheard of, seeing as if something upsets him, he stupidly doesn't hesitate to take it up with who ever might be the problem. Though once slightly broken of his aggression by Newheart, depression and anger is slowly building back up inside him. Whenever Thistlefur is in a neutral mood however, which has become exceedingly rare unless he is around Newheart or Twilightkit, possibly the only too cats in the clan who trust him, he is tolerable to be around. Thistlefur is a loner by birth and evidently a loner within his own Clan because of his heritage. He sees things from a different point of view because, well, he is different from an average Clan Cat, and can be considered a 'lousy warrior'. The dark tabby tom is cunning and fickle, which gives cats another reason to hate him. He has a history of lashing out, but only when an antagonist deserved it. He wouldn't take out his anger on someone who didn't deserve it - to Thistlefur, that would be cruelty. Once mischievous and light hearted, he was only questionable about his loyalty. But ever since the death of Ashstar, there was no figure of authority to protect the issue of his loyalty. Thistlefur will always consider himself loyal to RiverClan, even if others don't.

History   Key Dates   Born and dubbed Twilight Follower in the Moon of Tiger's Wrath (2004) Joined RiverClan as Thistlepaw in the Moon of Turning Leaves (2004) Apprenticed as Thistlepaw in the Moon of Turning Leaves (2004) Named a Warrior as Thistlefur in the Moon of First Green (2005) Full History : Thistlefur had no thoughts of ever joining a clan, being born to two loners. Thistlefur was born with the name Twilight Follower. An odd name, but still fell in the class his mother, Shadow Chaser, was in. He had a brother, whom Chaser said slightly resembled their father. His brother's name was Shade, and he died roughly at the age of five moons from lack of food. No more then four moons later, Twilight managed to get himself lost on a hunt and winding up in a Clan's territory. He was found by a small patrol of RiverClan cats and was brought to the camp. He was just about nine moons and refused to say his name or where he came from, so they named him after a thistle. He was apprenticed to a large black and white tom. Thistlefur can't recall his name, but shortly before he was made a warrior, his mentor died of greencough. Thistlefur sat vigil with the tom the whole night and had to be moved at dawn so his mentor could be buried. The tom cat was the closest thing Thistlefur had to family in the clan, but he still finds his home therein. Thistlefur soon discovered a knack for 'smart fighting'. Thinking about each blow before it was made, and thinking quickly, measuring distances and thinking of insults. He is respectable even though he is a grumpy individual. Thistlefur always has interesting thoughts to say - in his opinion - and always makes sure they're heard. Thistlefur attended the Gathering when ThunderClan broke the sacred truce. He fought with the ThunderClan warrior Rivertail, though he tried to stop Rivertail from fighting him and was partially unsuccessful. At 27 moons of age, Thistlefur got his first apprentice, Shadedpaw. When Thistlefur was out on his first patrol with Shadedpaw (unfortunately Duskyclaw was there too with Sliverpaw) they came across a loner called 'Verde'. Because the cat had mispronounced her name, they thought she was 'Fer-Verde'. After a long bit of talking and threatening from him, Duskyclaw wanting to lead her into the camp, Shadedpaw disliking Thistlefur and not liking the loner, and Sliverpaw, being Sliverpaw, wanting to take her in. Ashstar came and accepted the loner into the Clan. After a while, Thistlefur learned more about this cat. She was a run-away from WindClan - Fernwhisker - and became a loner. Ashstar gave her the name 'Newborn'. Thistlefur hated her with ever drop of his loner born blood - however, slowly, over the moons, his aggression toward her faded. Hardly had she received her Warrior Name 'Newheart', when he caught her alone by the fresh-kill pile, and then the unthinkable happened. Somehow, some way, they ended up together in the Southern Field, having a good time together. A good enough time to have a story to tell when they became elders. Newheart was slowly replacing Burningnight as Thistlefur's best friend in the clan as they grew closer together. He couldn't care less if the Clan thinks of her as nothing but a loner. He doesn't have any clan blood in him, right? So why would it matter if she did or didn't? When Newheart returned from finding Ashstar brutally killed by the 'hell-beast' (As Thistlefur refers to the killer), Thistlefur felt the slightest bit of doubt and insecurity towards his friend. But that quickly cleared up when he set his eyes on the heart wrenching site. Ashstar had welcomed him into the clan, and Thistlefur had actually liked the tabby. He doesn't show much sadness towards the death, but Thistlefur doesn't really show too many emotions. What mattered was that he was devastated in his own inner world. Twilightkit, his first son mothered by Newheart, has given Thistlefur a reason to be happy within the Clan, another reason to live, and one less to run away. Also working somewhat in Thistlefur's favor was Duskystar's death, which has visibly not shaken him. The death of the leader has actually lifted some sort of weight from his shoulders. But him being on the patrol where Duskystar died doesn't work in Thistlefur's favor, the question of corruption can always come up.
