Personality: Young and extremely hot-headed, Thornshadow is the epitome of testosterone infested tom-cat. The tabby is extremely quick to jump into action and entirely too slow to think anything through. He loves females--or rather, he loves to chase females. Once it seems as if anything is going to become serious, he quickly backs out. Thornshadow has no intentions of 'settling down' as his mother once put it, though he hardly has a problem with siring a litter or two.
Sire: Russetfang
Dam: Swanfeather
Littermates: Snowfeather
Birthplace: ReedClan
History: Snowkit and Thornkit were born full-blooded ReedClan cats some 21 moons ago. Like all youngsters, they got into their fair share of trouble together, often sneaking out of camp or hiding in the warriors' den to listen to the adults argue. Thornkit was especially prone to go wandering off, getting in trouble on an almost daily basis once he was big enough to successfully disappear from the Swanfeather's den regularly. It was commonplace for the white she-cat to stick her head out of the nursery and call to the nearest warrior. His escapes became so frequent, she didn't even worry that he had gotten hurt. If he wasn't found, he'd simply wander home eventually to listen to the countless lectures about kits being required to stay in camp.
As a result, he constantly accumulated punishment details. Even well into his apprenticeship, Thornpaw was pulling extra weight in the elders' den or running seemingly pointless errands for the medicine cat. Unfortunately, the resentment this initiated caused the young tom to dislike his oldest clanmates. A quick 5 moons after his apprentice ceremony was met with Thornpaw's move into the warriors' den and the name of Thornshadow. Originally named for his particularly sharp claws, the second half of his warrior name was given for how easily his pelt blended into the shadows on the water.
