first thing many will notice is that thornnose has been described as a big fluffy mess before. why you may ask? let's start with his fur. his pelt is unusually long, coming from his parents who were day-light warriors before him. yes a son of daylight warriors, so you will notice he now has pure breed rag-doll genes are easy to detect. now, his once long two-leg groom pelt is shaggy at best, but clean to the point that it may appear as if he spends every waking moment on it. his pelt has two different colors, brown and white - like chocolate and vanilla ice cream. many have seen him swiftly moving along the lands with his long legs, and in truth it is really just his fur that slows him down. while the brown runs from his head, ears, down his back to his tail, much like a skunk - it does encase the sides of his body and his right fore-paw toe tip is brown as well.

>> Personality:
from a young age he had always been a curious kitty. should a cat seem off, or upset you can almost be certain that little thornnose is around the corner, watching and listening. while being curious is nothing to be worried about - ever cat is at least a tad bit curious at one point or another but thornnose may cross the line a bit and be classified as noisy at times. however when all else is quiet he tends to wander off, looking for trouble (or so his parents said). thornnose's loyalty is to the clan, but some may find him staring across borders pondering how that tribes works. on more then one trip has landed thornnose in hot water when he's been yowled at during patrols. But nothing more, he has never crossed the border, nor does he intend to. Now, you may ask what is his thoughts on fighting? thornnose has never experience war himself. He's never seen a full out fight, only those playful little tuffs and chases, never tooth and claws. He's doing alright in fight training, but he's attention span for the whole thing makes it difficult and one would assume that in the middle of a battle that he would stop fighting and wander off. But that is highly unlikely, thornnose strives for peaceful chatting about what is going on, not driving straight into battle. although hard to annoy, he does have a sharp spiteful tongue and that he is not afraid to use against those who think they are above him. .
>> History:
fernpelt and deerclaw (both daylight warriors, turned clan cats) were actually already in their later moons when they had their first son thrushfeather (who had lived in their two-leg nest together), who is actually six moons older then thornnose. so it was a surprise that when deerclaw had moved into the elder's den, only to find out his mate was pregnant. when fernpelt gave birth, it was a nice late full-leaf, leaf-fall day. deerclaw had crawled slowly from the elder's den, to meet his son, a proud thrushpaw stood beside his father and stared down at his brother, who fernpelt affectionately called thornkit. thornkit looked similar to his father, just as thrushpaw looked like his father. but it was his eyes - later when they opened - that were all fernpelt.
deerclaw died when thornpaw was five moons old, around the same time greencough took his mother. but between those times deerclaw would lay with his son and answer ever question (from 'what is starclan?' to 'how are kits born?') and many didn't like how may question the kit asked, but were amused all the same. when deerclaw died in his sleep, his body giving out thornkit had been the one to find him. he was sad, but questions spew from his mouth asking his mother if 'dad was alright', 'is starclan taking care of him?' 'will we see him again?' 'soon?'. Each question flew from is mouth and his mother yowled at him to go back to the nursery and think about what was going on.
thornkit for once frighten, sharply hissed he wished dad had lived instead of her and fled from his mother and brother. thrushpaw harshly whispered to his mother that the questions had to be a way of releasing his grief and took his brother into the apprentice den that night and the two brothers slept close together, mourning. the next moon tracked slowly, but as thrushpaw was given his warrior name, and thornkit watched his mother become sick he was shocked when she passed away, asking to be forgiven for that night.
"i already forgave you momma, please don't leave me." but his mother only lifted a sick paw to her son's head and meowed softly. 'get your brother, i wish to speak with you both.' that day the two brothers sat with their dying mother - against what the medicine cat would of said to stay away, and they were their when their mother passed away. in the end, thrushfeather got a batch of white cough while thornkit got a nasty running nose. only a moon later he was an apprentice. with that his name went from thornkit to thornpaw. his curiosity spiked and he was constantly found sticking his nose in places he shouldn't. his brother and he still to this day share touches, spend nights talking and even curling together sharing a nest if they can get away with it.
then those days that lead up to when the gorge filled with water and they had to flee their home. thornpaw was frighten, and pleaded with his brother to flee with him. thrushfeather went to was stuck between wanting to become a full time kitty-pet, or join his clan... he chose his brother and the clan. the two brother made the journey together, thornpaw earning his warrior name thornnose. he is now a warrior of skyclan.
