Thistle displays some very odd behaviors. He started his life in a shadow barn and was the price and joy of his handler and the other people owning the barn. But soon enough they got a new Tokota who out shined him and they sold him to a park ranger where he lives now. Despite being distant and rude when his previous handler comes to visit him, when she isn't there he does everything he can to try and win her back. Thistle doesn't show emotions very often and he mostly just displays boredom or a sort of haze of blank emotion. This Tokota is very hard to form a bond with, but once you manage it he will always love and be loyal to you no matter what you do.
