i just realized bristlefrost and shadowsight are cousins

i finished TBC recently, but it only just occurred to me that bristle and shadowsight are related. i wish they would’ve drawn more attention to that fact. they keep saying that the three of them are bound tightly together through experience, but they are bound together through blood as well. bristle and root are in love, shadow and root trauma bonded, and shadow and bristle are first cousins, with their mothers being sisters.

it would’ve brought another dimension into the last book of TBC considering that shadowsight lost his kin. i feel like the only time cousins have ever mattered was in PoT when jaylionholly cared that tigerdawnflame were their cousins
