Creekdapple shares a few leaders they wouldn’t mind living under. Do any of them appeal to you?
Throughout the history of the Clans, there have been many leaders, some good, some bad. Everyone has their preferences, and these are the four that I would most like to live under. (I would have done top 5, but I just couldn’t think of anyone else)
#4: Pinestar. He did betray his Clan by becoming a kittypet, (which I will defend his reasoning until the end of the Earth) but before that, I think he was a pretty good leader. He was a peaceful cat, and wouldn’t go into battle unless he felt he had no other choice. I also like how he interacted with his Clanmates, being friendly and involved and generally just “one of the warriors”. He was not afraid of luxury as long as everyone got to enjoy it, as some Clan cats seem to be.
#3: Firestar. Though I don’t much care for his character, which is sort of underdeveloped and generic, I think he made a good leader. He was generous and friendly to his Clan, and always sought peaceful solutions with the other Clans. Many times, he managed to help bring the four Clans to work together, (which was definitely helped by precedents from the Great Journey) though he was sometimes seen as too interventionist.
#2: Mistystar. Mistystar was always reasonable and diplomatic, seeking peaceful solutions to interClan disputes. (And this is getting to be a theme here…) She’s also clearly proud of RiverClan and is, from what I can tell, pretty involved with her Clanmates. I love her interaction with the apprentices in ‘The Rushpaw Splash’ story from Battles of the Clans, (I don’t know if anyone knows that) which I think perfectly illustrates her close relationship with the rest of her Clan.
And finally, my #1 favorite leader is: Riverstar. He is also one of my favorite characters. I haven’t seen much of his leadership in action, but I know he’s calm and wise, and he is described to be generous with his own Clan but highly unconcerned with the others. He’s pretty impartial and seems to make decisions with little bias, which I think is a good quality in a leader, but one thing he is passionate about is making sure everyone is safe and prosperous.
Oh, and my least favorite Clan leader? Skystar. I could rant on about him, but for now I’ll just say that he was indirectly responsible for probably the most deaths of anyone in the series, (by establishing arbitrary boundaries and giving the Clans something to spill unnecessary blood over) he was a jerk to practically all his kin, and even after he “reformed” he still tried to act like he knew what was best all the time, even when he was being illogical and even after he himself admitted he needed someone to tell him what to do.
Oh! I should have thought to add Tallstar.
Nice article! I would absolutely love living under either Mistystar or Riverstar, they were both amazing leaders. Plus, I love swimming. 😛
Great article!
Unique article! 😀 I enjoyed reading it 🙂
I personally would like to live under Bluestar, Firestar, Tallstar, and pretty much any of the original leaders(excluding boring Thunder gosh he annoys me so much).
I actually like Clearsky 😛 Because he’s real. He acts and makes mistakes like he’s a real person/cat. Makes him frustrating but in a good way. 😛
I agree with Blue 🙂
Cool article 😆! I’d like to live under these 5 leaders too 😺! And I don’t like Skystar at all too 😛.
I like Pinestar too!
Nice article, Creekdapple!:D
Very nice! I also think Pinestar, Mistystar, and Riverstar are quite underrated.
My favorite leaders that weren’t on here are Tallstar, Crookedstar, and Shadowstar/Tall Shadow. I already liked Tall, but after reading his SE I loved him even more. I was neutral on Crooked until reading his SE also, and I’ve always loved Shadowstar for some reason 😛
I agree with everything you said, except I don’t hate Skystar. I think that Gray Wing and Clear Sky both acted as though they were still in the mountains. Clear Sky thought that they had to fight off every invader or the invader would steal prey and they would starve, like Fluttering Bird. Gray Wing thought that every cat had to work together or they would die, and refused to accept that Clear Sky wanted to run his own group a different way. Then Clear Sky started acting exactly like Gray Wing did, and every cat said that it was wrong. I think that it is unfair that people say that Clear Sky was evil just because he wanted to run his group in his own way. The cats could have left his group if they didn’t agree with him. I think that Gray Wing needed to quit interfering with Clear Sky’s group. The reason why I like Gray Wing is that he had multiple mates that he actually loved, and he had common sense, unlike Clear Sky. I fact, I’m pretty sure that Gray Wing is the only cat who had multiple mates and used his common sense. 😛
