THISTLESHADE||TOM||PREVIOUSLY FROM MISTCLAN|| APPEARS TO BE ABOUT 50 MOONS
Personality-
Bully-Thistleshade was always large and took that to his advantage. He was known for bullying those smaller than him. He always told younger apprentices and younger warriors as he aged horror stories about cats he’s killed to get his way. Thistleshade kept the fear in them alive by shouldering them, pushing them, sharpening his claws, curling his lip in annoyance, anything to get others to leave him alone. No one really stood against him so he got away with it.
Ambitious-Everyone knew Thistleshades end game while he was alive was to become MistClan’s next big leader. He had big plans to make MistClan strong. Starting with removing any half clan cats, bringing in rogues that once cause them problems, he wanted to create a clan that was feared, but respected. He did what ever it took to climb the ranks even becoming one of Froststars advisors, still he was never picked and that ultimately lead to his own death.
Noble-Thistleshade was not afraid of battles, some cats even felt protected under his strong presence. He was at the head of every single one, pain did not scare him, death did not scare him. He knew he had the dark forest on his side. Everyone though each of his kills was purely out of protecting his clan, when in reality it was to make the other clans weaker.
Cold-Thistleshade made no relationships with any of his clan mates. He didn’t want friends, while his siblings went on to have kits, he was more focused on his own motives. At times he did think perhaps being a father wouldn’t be a bad thing, his genetics would be running rampant through Mistclan, but chose not to pursue this. Thistleshade was a loner, at alone, slept alone, patrolled alone. He didn’t really seem to mind.
Description--
Thistleshade is a large gray tom with deep amber eyes that almost appear orange. He has many notable scars all over his body each from a vicious fight he took part in. He has slightly bigger than normal paws, and you can tell how hard he works from his large stature and broad shoulders. It doesn't look like there is an ounce of fat on this toms body. Thistleshade has a deep raspy voice that hints his aggression and darker ways. It makes you want to sleep with one eye open when he is around. His eyes show zero emotion and he shows no remorse for anything. It's like he has no emotional connection to anyone around him. His eyes always appear frozen.....cold.
History--
Thistleshade grew up in MistClan and lived what would seem like a normal life. He had two doting parents, playful siblings, nothing out of the ordinary. AS kit though, he was known to be a bit more aggressive, always getting rough when he lost in a game, known to have temper tantrums, but boys will be boys and kits will be kits so his parents always shrugged it off. There was a time when he was playing with his den mates a bit too hard when he used his claws when he wasn’t supposed to. Thistlekit at the tom caused a blinding injury, and that’s when the dark forest started to take notice of his more….lust for roughness personality. When he was apprenticed he considered his mentor a bit to easy for taste but he had a darker secret, a mentor in the shadows where very few chose to wander.
Each night he trained learning the secret moves used to kill others and would practice them in every battle skirmish. When he was a warrior, he used it almost every time aiming to kill during border fights not to injure and there were multiple times where he was VERY successful. His kill count began to rise and even made it quite the game in his little mind in the warriors den against the wall their were always odd little tick marks made by his claws, no one really knew what they were for, but they were all the border kills he made.
He was given the name Thistleshade as a warrior for being mysterious, serious, and cold and he took that name to heart. He worked hard to earn that name and continued to do so hoping to earn the one thing he thought he deserved, which was deputy. He trained multiple apprentices to be fierce warriors, always at the heart of each battle but when the time to pick a new deputy came, he was not chosen. This angered the tom but he knew Froststars reign would be short and thus his second chance would arise. He was only getting older, with more age came more experience. However a second time he was not chosen.
Thistleshade made plans to kill the newly named deputy however not soon enough. Another warrior training in the darkforest but loyal to Bearstar caught wind of Thistleshades plan killing him in cold blood. How convienent it was that their happened to be foxes near by and the young warrior blamed it on a fox. Thistleshade went to the dark forest and appears to be 50 moons old. He helps train new warriors in the dark forest but recently has made a secret deal with Palesun just like when a leader dies their spirit goes to StarClan but returns to their body, Palesun and Thistleshade figured out how he could return to Eveningstars body when he died so he could be the leader he always dreamed of being.
Thistleshade has snuck out of the dark forest and into the black toms body and is currently leading MothClan using the black tom’s body as a puppet. He has big changes to make and can’t wait to show the world what he’s capable of.
