Bristle

Bristle is a minor character in Forest of Stars: The Winter Journey, and later on an antagonistic character and then a deutertagonist. He is a tan tabby tom with rich amber eyes, and is the former mate of Storm. He is the father of Shadow, Willow, and Song, and is the leader of his own following, which briefly dwindled after the war he declared but later regained its strength when he invited more outsiders into his group. At first, he was a bitter, sadistic cat who enjoyed being stronger than cats he considered "cowards" and "freaks" but eventually softened to a honorable leader. He is the one who invited Alastor to join his following and made the dangerous tortoishell into his "punisher." Bristle is the son of Focus and Hazel, and is the brother to Jay and Lightning.
