Thistlebrook

""O relax coz. Yer the one who's dead.""

- Thistlebrook to her cousin, Oatleap

Appearance & Personality
Thistlebrook is a tall, lithe white and silver tabby she-cat with very thin black stripes. She has a large black stripe that runs down her back and tail. She bears a scar on her right back leg and two notches in her left ear. Her eyes are pale purple-grey, just like her brother's Nettletuft. As a StarClan cat, she lost all the scars on her pelt (but not the ones in her ear) and now sports a dark green aura

Thistlebrook is normally quiet and calm, with a very quiet sense of determination and strength underneath. She's very resourceful and is surprisingly strong. She's a recluse as well, usually remaining in her den for days at a time, mixing herbs or doing other miscellaneous tasks around her den. Thistlebrook rarely gets angry, but when she does, you wouldn't want to be around for it.

Brief History
Thistlebrook was part of the original rogue group, before being assigned to her Clan. Thistlebrook became the first medicine cat of WindClan.

Early Life
Thistlebrook was born as Thistle along with her twin brother Nettle and their younger brother Hickory to two loners named Tawny and Stag. They lived together in happiness, before a very unfortunate accident separated Thistle and Nettle from the rest of their family at 14 moons old. They moved around for a bit, before they were found on the rogue group's territory and were taken in.

New Home
The siblings took up residency in WindClan after being assigned there by Icestar and Softweb, where they took the names of Thistlepaw and Nettlepaw. Thistlepaw was chosen to be WindClan's first medicine cat. Softweb and Mellowbug taught her about medicine, alongside her very far removed cousin, the recently deceased medicine cat Oatleap. With her help, Oatleap taught Thistlepaw additional medicine cat tricks, in the waking world and the dream world, before naming her as Thistlebrook at 23 moons of age. Not long before her, her brother Nettletuft was also named a tunneler.

Medicine Cat Hours
She mostly hung out in the medicine den with Oatleap, joking and coming up with new herbal treatments for anyone who would need them. At some point while Thistlebrook and Oatleap were talking, Oatleap's old medicine cat mentor Leafshade came in, requesting some aid. A very tense meeting occurred, where Oatleap mostly died of laughter and Thistlebrook watched on in annoyance. She chose her apprentice, Mantispaw, and soon after, Oatleap left her, since Thistlebrook no longer needed her guidance.

End of The Line
Thistlebrook met her end at the age of 29 moons. She was fed a mixture of various herbs and death berries by Sweetbriar, one of Sulfurstar's Aspguard. She was succeeded by her apprentice Mantisspring.
