Dappledkit analyzes Raggedstar’s character
So, hi, this is maybe my first or second article so far on Blogclan and It’s gonna be about Raggedstar. I have some reasons for really hating Raggedstar, and here’s why. (This is NOT about Foxheart. Please comment if you want me to do something on Foxheart) so anyway, back to Raggedstar.
1. The first reason I’m not big on Raggedstar is because he is at first super in love with Yellowfang when she is an apprentice and he is Raggedpelt. He loves her so much and stuff like that. But then, when she wants to be a medicine cat, he is seemingly blinded by grief, and suddenly she’s the worst cat in the world. He can barely control his mood swings I suppose, and he kinda reminds me of a less intense Jayfeather. Then she’s suddenly amazing again, and he wants them to meet in secret and be together. Then, she kinda leaves him again, and he hates her once more. He needs to work on that
2. Raggedstar flirts with Foxheart the minute it seems that Yellowfang has abandoned his love. He flirts with her, making her his deputy when he becomes leader. He also broadcasts to the clan that they are mates and that Brokenkit(star) is her son. He does this to infuriate Yellowfang and make her jealous. This works (I think. I havne’t read Yellowfang’s Secret in a while.) so then she dies, and he suddenly doesn’t care.
3. He goes blind with love when Brokenkit(star) is now all alone without a mother, and wants to make sure his is raised correctly. He showers him with love, making him arrogant and hateful towards Yellowfang. When Raggedstar finally realizes his mistake, he suddenly goes begging back to Yellowfang for help. She tells him to figure it out on his own, and for once she’s super realizing how stupid Raggedstar is. Then, he is killed by Brokentail(star)
So there you have it, that’s why I think Raggedtstar isn’t the best, and that he shouldn’t be treated like such a hero and stuff. He’s really one of the only Shadowclan cats in Starclan that readers know well, but that doesn’t mean all the things he did can be forgiven.

Great article!
Awesome article! I 100% agree with you. Raggedstar just annoyed me when I read Yellowfang’s Secret.
I like this! Its amazing! Also do u know why ppl always say ‘first comment’ when it is???
I think they just do it for fun ^^
I guess it shows that you are on Blogclan/other stuff quite often?
Yeah, he was really rude and frustrating. His mood swings seemed really unprovoked and random, and he would lash out at Yellowfang for NO REASON. Their ship is sweet, and i love a good forbidden ship, but he was just unfair to her. I also feel like Sagewhisker forced Yellowfang to be a medicine cat. I don’t even think
Sagewhisker got a signal from Starclan, but just went off her own assumptions, completely invalidating Yellowfang’s protests and feelings. That’s just pathetic.
Amazing article, I totally think you should do one on Foxheart!
I agree. I really dislike Raggedstar. He treated Yellowfang pretty terribly, and was generally not a good mate.
One Last TimeI agree. He can’t control his mind!!! One second he is kind, then when Yellowfang says something he doesn’t want to hear, he explodes with madness. I felt really bad to Yellowfang when I was reading the book 🙁
I think you have a typo on 3. You say “and wants to make sure his is raised correctly.”
Another thing I dislike about Raggedstar is the way he treated Russetfur. Raggedstar was unsympathetic about how his patricidal acts affected Russetfur even after learning about their relationship from Yellowfang. Raggedstar never even told Russetfur that they were siblings! Russetfur deserved to know that!
Great article! But how do you know all this? What book does it explain it in? Anyways good job!
It explains pretty much everything in Yellowfangs secret.
I agree with you so much! (haven’t read Yellowfang’s secret though)
Brokenkit was not an orphan – he was raised by Lizardfang. Raggedstar doesn’t really think before he acts… Great article though- I enjoyed reading it.
