History:

Was born as a princess in a regal pride that was well known all around. From the moment she was born onwards, everyone who saw her was blown away by her beauty and rare pelt colour. Thistle liked the compliments, but sometimes she hated that others thought she was so different to them- almost alien.

One day, her parents organised a great ceremony, in which she would be shown her most highly-regarded suitors. All of the boys were just snobs trying to impress her, and they only liked her for what was on the outside, they didn’t know a thing about her personality so half way through, she excused herself and ran.

She was crying in a bush when she heard a male’s voice asking her if she was okay. She screamed to go away, that she wasn’t just a pretty face and that there was more to her then what he could see on the outside.

She turned round to see a lion she had never seen before, looking very hurt. And to her horror, realised he was blind. “I’m so sorry” she cried and explained what had happened. They were good friends, and after that met up a lot. They even began to feel something more for each other- love. But she knew her parents would never accept him purely because he was a rogue.

One day she went to meet him, but didn’t realise she was being followed by a lion who wanted to marry her. He saw the blind lion and decide he’d trick him. He coaxed him into coming closer, by pretending to be hurt, then killed him, leaving Thistle to discover his body.

"Stay still." He said and turned his back on her for a moment. When he turned round again, he was holding some large leaves which he put on her forehead. He told her that they would help her heal but she had to rest. She fell into a disturbed sleep. 

A pair of blind eyes were gazing in to her own. A trickle of blood running down from the mouth below them they were lifeless eyes and she shrieked and jumped back, she could see all of his mangled body now, stretched into an impossible position. All around her were lions they were all laughing, all the lions she had killed were right there, so she could kill them again she ran at them, swiping with her paws, but her paws went straight through them. They laughed harder… closing in… she woke screaming.

The lion, who had been asleep woke up, and although he looked annoyed to be disturbed, walked over to her, and sat down next to her. He told her his name was Crag and they talked for hours. He was the first lion she ever told about her past, and she the first her had told about his.

 The two lived together for a few weeks, and Thistle started to fall for this mysterious lion. But she noticed he didn't really seem interested in her, he never seemed to give her a second glance, and never seemed to want to spend time with her.

Over time, though, they learned to trust each other, and worked as a team to keep power over their mountain territory. They fell in love and lived together all their lives in the same cave Crag had cured Thistle in.

She's inspired by Kissin' Kate from Holes.

Relation to the TLK: Some of the lions she killed were princes of the pridelands, and so they're after her.
