I just bought Crooked's Promise! And that's a fair assessment. Bramblestar was previously in the DF as well, but retained a Leader (with 9 nines granted) status. My perspective on it, as far as Thistle and Blue; Blue redeemed herself while Thistle never did.

Yeaaaaaaah, that's generally my viewpoint as well. While realistically a cat at 6 months old has reached sexual maturity, it's painted in the books like apprentices are child/teenage aged due to their humanization. Also a fun fact, apprentices are actually the same size,
of not a bit smaller, than their mentors due to them being a "full-grown cat!"
