Bluefire shares some of their favourite characters from the series.

I don’t know why, but I’ve always been drawn to the villains (Hawkfrost), the crazies (Bluestar), and all those poor kits, apprentices, and young warriors/medicine cats who died too soon in their story. Here’s a few cats who were too young to die.
Flametail
He was always a favorite of mine. The medicine cat whose brother was named after the greatest villain of the forest. He didn’t have a huge role in the story, but he was still cool. I honestly don’t know much about him, besides that he died and Jayfeather couldn’t save him, but I still like the character.
Mosskit
Bluestar’s kit who never made it to the river. We didn’t get to see much, or any, of her character, but she did give her mother a life and MY GOODNESS KITS ARE ADORABLE.
Snowfur
I kind of liked her relationship with Thistleclaw, and I think having Snowfur around made him a little less…. Thistleclaw….. for a while. Then, just after little Whitekit (to be Whitestorm) was born, she got hit by a monster. I MEAN SERIOUSLY. The Erins are mean sometimes.
Badgerfang
The smallest warrior. Little Badgerkit was made an apprentice at three moons and set into battle at four. Brokenstar was the most evilest of evil. Badgerpaw was killed, and as he was dying, he asked his mentor Flintfang if StarClan would give him a warrior name. I was like AWWWW BADGER SO CUTE. Anyway, Flintfang said they’d let him choose, and the kit-apprentice-warrior was like “I’ll be Badgerfang, like you,” and ahhhhhh adorable!! So yeah, little Badgerfang is up their somewhere, playing with Mosskit.
Juniperkit and Dandelionkit
Sparkpelt and Alderheart had two other littermates, both who died within moons of being born. Kit deaths are always really sad.
Finchkit
Tallstar’s littermate. Another kit death. If I’m not mistaken (and I probably am) Finchkit was born dead? Or maybe she just died soon after she was born? Either way, kit deaths.
Longtail
Okay, he wasn’t actually young when he died, but he retired early because he became blind. I don’t remember exactly how. Longtail was NOT one of my favorite characters at the start, but he wasn’t evil, and he stuck by Firestar when Darkstripe stuck by Tigerstar. He quickly became a favorite of mine.
Emberkit
I don’t expect many people to recognize the name. The Warriors Wiki says that Emberkit was one of Windstar’s kits, and it’s SO DANG SAD KIT DEATHS =( Anyway, Ember- is an awesome prefix and I’ve used it before.
(Is this enough words?? Ahhh)
Let’s move on. Now I’m going to talk about a couple favorites.
Firestar
I know, I know, typical me, liking the main character of most of the arc. But he was a cool character, and a great way to enter the series with about as much knowledge as the reader had of the clans, meaning NONE. His story was interesting, as well as his friends.
Ravenpaw
Okay, what doesn’t make sense, is Ravenpaw was offered a warrior name by StarClan, and he’s like “nah I’m good” because he’d been Ravenpaw so long that he couldn’t imagine being called anything else. He’s a favorite of mine as well, he witnessed Redtail’s death and though he was scared all the time because of Tigerclaw, he was an interesting character to follow.
Spottedleaf
Come on. You can’t not like Spottedleaf. She’s the first character introduced into the series, and while FireXSpotted was a bit ‘meh’ for me (I may write a ShipFic later), she was an epic character with a very cool backstory. She became medicine cat apprentice to Featherwhisker because she wanted to escape Thistleclaw. The darn Dark Forest trainee was trying to lure her into his trap! She didn’t fall for it, and Spottedpaw became a medicine cat.
Goosefeather
He’s here for the sole reason that he could see StarClan cats.
Hollyleaf
DANGIT HOLLYLEAF WHY DID YOU HAVE TO DIE???? I would’ve liked to see her leading ThunderClan. She’d be the leader who didn’t unsheathe her claws for every trespasser, and who’d try to talk things out instead of battle things out. This also might end up as a fanfic. With Fallen Leaves in it. Obviously. HollyXFallen was cute in Hollyleaf’s novella.
Hawkfrost
I know, he’s a villain, but I like villains! I keep imagining, what could’ve happened if Hawkfrost hadn’t sided with Tigerstar? A lot would’ve changed, I mean COME ON all he was trying to do was please his father! (Breezepelt don’t take this as an example!) Plus, I love his name =)
(This is dragging on…)
Finally…
Last but not least…
And obviously the best…
BLUESTAR!
The first leader, and one of the first cats, you see in Into the Wild. She quickly grew on me back in third grade when I started the series, even before I got her backstory in Bluestar’s Prophecy. She had a few bad traits, granted, but who doesn’t? I love her story, and even though she went a little crazy during the first arc, she gave her last life for her clan in the end. Not to mention she survived the Great Battle. That’s always a plus.
Great article! I know, kit deaths are so sad. :,( My friend is draw to villans, too. Her favorite character is Tigerstar, (oops, I almost said ‘Tiggerstar’! XD) and I’ve never understood why. I like Firestar and Bluestar, Spottedleaf and Ravenpaw are OK, (even though I don’t understand why Ravenpaw turned down his warrior name) and Hollyleaf is AWESOME!!! Again, cool article! =)
tiggerstar (starkit’s prophecy anyone?)
*shudders*
Hmmmm Bracken…. Your St. Patty’s Day name sounds an awfully lot like mine… I really don’t mind though 😛
Sorry!
I love Hollyleaf! Also, I think Ravenpaw’s reason for denying a warrior name is because he feels attached to the name he already has. Also, I don’t like how Spottedleaf vanished at the end of OoTS 😞
Yay! More Spottedleaf fans! Great article Bluefire!
Nice article, I like most of these cats too!
Nice article! I also felt really bad for poor little Badgerfang… I remember reading about him somewhere and it was so sad! He was too young 🙁
Same…
Nice article 🙂 I love all those cats except for Hawkfrost.
YUSSSSSS!!!! GO HOLLYLEAF!!!! 😀 😀
Kit deaths are soooooo sad 🙁 (Badgerfang… noooooo D: … sooooooooooooo saaaaaaaaaaaaad 🙁 )
Nice article!
Emberkit is one of Wind Runner’s kits. (Spoilers for DotC) He was actually her first kit to die. Not too long afterwards Morning Whisker died of the sickness, before they got the Blazing Star. Which caused Wind Runner to leave with her other two kits.
Uhhhhhh I’m reading DotC right now 😛
Obsessed.
Great article! I agree, Blue! 😀
YESSSSS!!!! I LOVE BLUESTAR TOO 💙💙💙!!! *raising a banner of “fan club of Bluestar”* Firestar, Goosefeather, Hollyleaf and Hawkfrost are also some of my favouritee 😆. I think Mosskit and Badgerfang are super cute too, and I was very sad when they died 😭. Ravenpaw is a nice character, and I always wonder what would be his warrior name 🤔…
*joins Bluestar fan club*
*is the leader of the Bluestar fan club*
Hawkfrost’s the only one I’m meh on…
Love Goosefeatherrrrr!!
an d Maplesh adeYES! BLUESTAR and HOLLYLEAF!!!!!!!!!!!! (And Firestar)
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS ! SOMETHING THAT DOESN’T MENTION JAY`FEATHER!!!!!!!!I FEEL LIKE DA ONLY ONE WHO DOESN’T LIKE JAY
WELL I do like Jayfeather, but I didn’t want to give him a big head by putting him on the favorites list =) He is a bit bratty sometimes but overall I think he’s a decent character. Then again, that’s just my opinion =) I can respect that everyone has their own thoughts on the subject.
Cool article !
Ivypool : I don’t like Hawkfrost
Well yes he tried to kill you so I’m not surprised to be honest
Ivypool : Yeah but still I don’t like him
Yes thank you for that amazing insight, you definitely didn’t say that two seconds ago
Ivypool :Was that sarcasm
What do you think
Ivypool: I think it was
Well done
Hawkfrost: Where? I thought you said Ivypool is here!
She was here. Like, a minute ago. She probably left because you showed up.
Hawkfrost: But I wanted to apologize…
WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO HAWKFROST
Darktail: I have to agree.
Hawkfrost: I’VE BEEN GANGED UP ON HELPPP
