Thistleclaw/PR

Personality

 * From the moment he was born, Thistleclaw displayed a high level of arrogance and conceit. He was angered when Bluepaw and Snowpaw were made apprentices before him, even though he wasn't old enough. When Snowpaw offered to help him in training, he claimed that he was already, and always would be, a better warrior than her. Despite his arrogance, however, Thistleclaw was a strong and brave warrior, and truly fearless in battle, something even his greatest rival, Bluestar, grudgingly acknowledged and respected.


 * Thistleclaw was bloodthirsty and power-hungry, desiring to be leader of ThunderClan and to keep the other Clans out of ThunderClan territory by "marking the borders with blood". A prime example of Thistleclaw's true violent nature was shown when he ordered his apprentice, Tigerpaw, to attack a defenceless kittypet kit when he just walked onto the borders of ThunderClan territory. As noted by Bluestar, Thistleclaw firmly believed that violence was the answer to every problem, a belief he passed onto his apprentice, Tigerstar, whom he trained in a very rough and brutal manner. Ultimately, Thistleclaw's arrogance and desire for battle proved to be his undoing when he tried to fight an entire RiverClan patrol all by himself, only to be overpowered and killed.


 * However, for all his faults, Thistleclaw did have a softer side, as he seemed to genuinely care for his mate, Snowfur.
