A silly sketch that I decided to put more work into. Went with Pride Rock in the background because it reminded me of the scene with Scar tormenting a mouse and Thistle is quite a bit like Scar personality wise except with far lower ambitions. I usually imagine her as a small time lazy, cowardly, backstabbing villain typically serving under the real bad guy. And when her evil leader is at the end of some hero's blade Thistle's already run out the secret passageway carrying as many riches she can get her talons on.

Someday though it just might catch up to her.
