Thornstripe

Thornstripe is a brown tabby tom with bright amber eyes and a few scars along his shoulder.

Thornstripe was to Riverstone and Cottonstarduring flood season in their first litter. Right from the start, he was very protective of his two sisters, Finchflame and Puddlesplash. He was content not really putting himself out there to make friends, not meaning he’s antisocial.

After an argument broke out between him and Finchflame when he learned she was to have Slateclaw’s kits, the pair didn't really talk anymore. After Slateclaw attacked his father, he talked briefly with Finchflame before leaving her with the kits, only seeing the cat that had killed their dad in them.

When moping by the river, Thornstripe was approached by Fawndapple when she was still an apprentice.

The pair became friends and she was even the one to convince him to fix his relationship with Finchflame.

Later on in their lives, Fawndapple and Thornstripe became mates and they had three kits. One tom named Drippaw and two she-cats named Echopaw and Minnowpaw.

After finding out the truth about Mapletail and Acornfur on the day his father passed, Thornstripe grew a grudge against Mapletail, as the tom was staying in Rush Clan camp. He lashed out at the tom and raced to the river. Fawndapple followed after and calmed Thornstripe down.

After Ricestar got his nine lives, he decided on making Thornstripe the deputy, as he hoped it would teach the younger tom to be a bit more mature and lose his aggressive attitude.
