Tigerclaw of ShadowClan : Did he really deserve power? by Jasminepaw

Jasminepaw wonders about Tigerstar’s story and potential alternate future. Spoilers ahead!

*dramatic music plays in the background*
Hi! It’s Jasminepaw here, with an odd a query.
Did Tigerstar deserve the power he was given?
Here are some thing I was thinking about while writing this.
Did Tigerstar have nine lives?
Did he mean to hit Cinderpelt?
What would his name have been if he wasn’t evil?
I’ll be answering those while giving evidence to prove he did deserve it.
Did he have nine lives?
I do not believe so. See, he hadn’t lost a life yet when Scourge killed him. It could have easily been such a harsh blow he writhed a bit on the ground before he died. To cats, it can look like a cat has lost nine lives. He hadn’t already lost a life before that, therefore no one had yet witnessed him lose one of his nine lives. Plus, who in StarClan would give Tigerstar nine lives knowing his plans?
Did he mean to hit Cinderpelt?
No. You might already know this, it’s a common fact. The trap was meant for Bluestar, he might have been thinking how much better ThunderClan would be without a leader as crazy as her. Cinderpelt got hit and we all blamed Tigerstar, saying if he never had gotten this ambitious Cinderpelt would be a warrior. Give Tigerstar room,maybe he became evil after be blamed so much for Cinderpelt’s injury. No one died. Cinderpelt was reincarnated.
What would his name have been if he wasn’t evil?
Well, first, lets say he stayed the weakest of the litter in Bluestar’s Prophecy. He would have made friends with Whitekit, and be adorable in general. He would be apprenticed to Thrushpelt (guess) and be oddly good at hunting instead of fighting. Scourge would have not been beat up, Thistleclaw would stay a warrior, Bluestar would not have to give her kits away, leaving Mosskit alive. He would probably have been called Tigerchase, for his ability to chase intruders to the edge of the territory without a scratch. Ye would then become the leader of ThunderClan, Tigerstar. Either way he wins.
After all this, I believe Tigerstar deserved to be a leader. He had the ambition, though he had not the smarts. He had the courage, though not the wit. Many leaders had the smarts, but no claws to back it up. Some had wit, though no courage to show. Why should we be mad at Pinestar for leaving? He stayed with Thunderclan until his last life was only left. He was brave enough to be a leader. Why should Tigerstar be any diffrent?
