#needlethorn

Needlethorn has always been a stern and commanding cat. He served as deputy for some time before his retirement, at the behest of his daughter and current deputy, Hawthornetail. Contrary to typical Clan behavior, Needlethorn is serious and snappy when it comes to getting things done. Even in his time of rest, he grumbles at the apprentices for a poor job. His expectations of his Clan extend to his daughter, whom he isn't very close with. His pride drove a wedge between them, which he didn't realize until when she didn't tell him about her pregnancy. Needlethorn secretly wishes he could bring himself to connect with his grandkits, but something prevents him from taking that step forward.
