For those who want to know more about Classpects without subjecting themselves to the horrifying ordeal of Homestuck Exposure, check out tumblr user OptimisticDuelist. They have good guides.
Squilf is a character, both in my rewrite and in canon, who is driven by her loyalty to friends, family, and her Clan. She can be loud and impulsive, but always does what she thinks is the best for everyone. She isn't motivated by HER OWN wants and needs, she is driven by what she BELIEVES IS BEST for her family.
Even when that means doing things she doesn't want to do. Even when that hurts her, or causes her to lie.
And I think that makes her a perfect match for the Aspect of Blood. Her element is her connections and bonds with others-- a child of Firestar, a friend of the Sundrown Patrol, a mother, a mate, a sister.
For the Class, the controlling verbs are "Create, Serve, Change, Know, Steal, or Destroy." For each of these there is a self-acting (active) and acting-on-others (passive) class. This is what's hard because it doesn't seem obvious which one Squilf is from a glance, and there's a really good argument to be made for both passive AND active.
I don't think she Creates, Serves, Changes, Knows, or Destroys her aspect. I think it's most fitting for her to Steal. She took the kittens and yanks responsibility onto herself. 'Steal' doesn't mean she takes without permission, after all, though sometimes she does do that.
And so... Active and Passive. Is she a Thief or a Rogue?
Active, Thief: Though she does everything for the benefit of others, Squilf is constantly pulling things onto herself. SHE assumes responsibility. SHE puts herself on the Sundrown Patrol. SHE adopts the kittens.
Passive, Rogue: Squilf still rarely does things completely unprompted. She reacts to the will of others-- she wouldn't have gone on the Sundrown Patrol if Bramble wasn't going too. It wasn't her idea to take the kittens and she had to be convinced to do that.
I think the idea of Squilf kind of being a Robin Hood but for love and bonds is a cool idea. Uniting the Sundrown Patrol, taking Leafpool's kittens so she would still be able to watch them grow, becoming the face of the imposter rebellion...
So Rogue of Blood is a cool one. Thief of Blood works too.
