PERSONALITYYellowthorn wasn't just named because of her yellow eyes. You see, her leader decided to give her the suffix, thorn, because of her fiery personality. As you may have guessed, Yellowthorn is not the nicest cat on the block. In fact, she's a force you never want to mess with, much less be around. Egotistical, arrogant, and overall nasty, Yellowthorn likes to exploit the weaknesses of others, bashing them down with harsh words until they are weak at the mind. This usually isn't a problem with the senior warriors and leaders, but when it comes to apprentices, Yellowthorn has a reputation of being the nastiest, mentor in all of ShadowClan history. Regardless, Yellowthorn has proven time and time again that she is a skilled, and highly talented warrior, and there is no apprentice that comes out of her training that is not blessed with some of her skills.

Yellowthorn however, is not all as awful as she is perceived. In the deepest parts of her being, Yellowthorn is incredibly insecure due to her stressful upbringing. She also is furiously protective of her clan, though, she obviously does not show it well, even to her own kin. Over the moons she has been a warrior, Yellowthorn has stepped up to take charge of situations, often being the voice of confidence in battle by demanding her Clan work harder, or even just making the lazier cats wake up for their patrols. It is clear that, while prickly on the outside, Yellowthorn's intentions are as good as any other ShadowClan warriors'.

KNOW WHAT'S TO COME

do not accept this, though we're alone we must fight for each breath

HISTORYYellowthorn's history is a sad one though one seldom acknowledged by anyone, even herself. She was born to two well known ShadowClan Warriors, fiercely loyal and well respected throughout the Clan, along with her siblings, Nightkit (who grew up to become Nightwing) and Swiftkit. Unfortunately, they were born in one of the bitterest winters of their lifetime, and soon after birth, Swiftkit caught Greencough and never recovered.

The loss of their littermate was so early on, that neither of the two sisters remember much of him - however, the resulting trauma did effect their parents - and that was where things started to become strange. Swiftkit and Nightkit were identical twins, and Yellowkit was the odd one out - and since Swiftkit had died, the parents latched onto Nightkit because of her similar looks. The clear neglect started from so early on that Yellowthorn grew up watching her sister get all the adoration and attention. She never questioned it - never wanted to. But she was growing weary and tired of being invisible.

Nightwing out-shined her in every aspect, and Yellowthorn began to loathe everyone around her. She became bitter, irate, and snappy, and as that drove away the only friends she had, she focused only on herself. Training day in and day out, doing Warrior duties, and whatever else she could until finally, her efforts were realized. She's now made a name for herself - though through fear of her stony cold attitude and almost cruel battle skills.
