did a mother name their kit Thrasher or did he name himself? idk the idea of a mother lookin down at their kit and going this ones Thrasher and this ones Kill and Death is amusing to me (lighthearted)
if he named himself, what was his old name?
A thrasher is a type of bird! You can see it representing him here in Issue 10:
This is all background lore that didn't come up in the comic, but he was named as a tradition his family had with a fellow family of birds. The cats gave their kids bird names, and the birds gave their kids cat names. This is also why Thrasher's kids have bird names! (Cormorant, Crow, Partridge, and Magpie) The birds were named things like Pounce, Claws, Tabby, etc.
Thrasher eventually killed the thrasher he was named after, Whiskers, which is what he's referring to here.
The two of them grew up together - these cat and bird families had co-existed for a long time, they were not a part of Defiance or anything. Thrasher joined Defiance as an adult, and was kicked out of his family for killing Whiskers when they found out. It's sort of interesting to me that Thrasher still chose to carry on that naming tradition, then.
