Hmmm, it would seem to me that she wouldn't be born a thunder brother so much as having to eventually prove that she was a thunder brother? The thunder brothers, although I'm not sure that all are known precisely, were mostly the heroes of god-time I think. I don't think she could be counted as a thunder-brother until she is actually being worshipped, and even then I'm not sure....although of course anything is possible if you get god-learnerish!
As to what her 'thing' could be I would think it would depend a bit
on her focus.
-There are a lot of hunting related possibilities, but they would
only be appropriate if she had a hunting focus.
-She could be the most fertile of the thunder brothers, but that
probably isn't much fun for a player character ("You get home from
fighting the broo to find all four sets of twins, not to mention the
triplets, are hungry and screaming.....").
-Along the lines of what Yinkin is noted for, there is loyalty, if
that is one of her virtues.
-Having lived with several female cats, I can tell you that they can
be very fierce defenders of what is theirs. Both attitude (be
visibly willing to take on a foe two or three times their size), and
their prowess (one cat happily beat up any dog that bugged her that
was smaller than about a german shepherd. She'd stand there while
they charged, then leap and shred their tender nose with one blow,
which usually ended the affair right there). So anything
like "fierce defender" could work possibly.
- Hmmm, actually re-reading that last point, perhaps something
like "leaping strike"---the ability to strike during incredible
jumps, letting you attack giants, low flyers, people on walls, etc.
I can't think of anyone else who specializes in that, and it is
_very_ feline. (yes, low flyers--same little tabby cat used tease
the birds into heckling her, crouch down like she was cowed by them,
until they swooped low enough, then would leap 5+ feet in the air and
catch them in mid-flight)
I hope some of that helped.
