Reedfrost wonders if Snowtuft deserves to be in the Dark Forest.
This is my first article, I hope you like it! – Reedfrost
Today I’m going to be doing my evaluation on whether Snowtuft really deserves the Dark Forest.
Little is known about Snowtuft; we only get to see him in depth at the end of TBC arc. We see that he has some redeeming qualities, as does all people – in real life. Snowtuft isn’t entirely evil, and he is a perfect example of breaking the clichè that all the villains are dark tabbies. Snowtuft shows up first in the end of OoTS, when his belly gets sliced by another Dark Forest cat. Then, he makes another appearance, first to Shadowsight. He says he’s asking a favor, and when Shadowsight says he’ll help Snowtuft after he first helps him with rescuing Squirrelflight, Snowtuft responds he can’t get picky in his situation. He then leaves when realizing Shadowsight could get him killed by stalking Ashfur, and he finds Rootspring, stuck in the Dark Forest and shows him where Shadowsight is. After a while, the two manage to rescue Bramblestar’s ghost. Bramblestar comes up with a plan to find his body and has Snowtuft as bait. Rootspring, Bramblestar, and Squirrelflight unite, but eventually, Rootspring and Snowtuft are caught in Ashfur’s clutches. Snowtuft dies, and Rootspring and Shadowsight honor him as the first Dark Forest cat to join their side.
Snowtuft showed bravery and acceptance that he could not change his past, but hecould maybe change his – and others – future. But Snowtuft must have done something wrong to end up in the Dark Forest. Then again, StarClan let Ashfur into StarClan. Can we really trust their judgement?
I think Snowtuft has a lot of wiggle room in his plot. He makes a very neatly done misunderstood villain, a cat who got stuck in the Dark Forest even though he was good, a villain who turns into a hero.
In my perspective, I think that Snowtuft could have gotten into the Dark Forest as a temporary penance, and after he redeemed himself, he could go back into StarClan. This would also cause fighting, which is enough fighting that the Erins could build a whole new arc off it.
I totally agree! We don’t know about Snowtuft that well and I really hope he gets a SE or Novella! I have so many ways it can go ^^
Great article! I agree, Snowtuft should be in StarClan. I was so sad when he died =(
Great article! Snowtuft deserved the Dark Forest! The only reason he helped Shadowsight was that he wouldn’t die, but he was brutal enough to train the dark forest trainees and to try to kill Ivypool, so whatever he did must’ve been BAAAAAAAAAD!
I wish Snowtuft would be in Starclan, not a big place but a quiet corner where he can live in peace.
Great article Reedfrost!
I would really like a Novella or Super Edition about Snowtuft! 🙂
Same
Great article Reedfrost! I agree with you, and I think it would make the books more interesting if Dark Forest cats could be redeemed.
Great article! I love snowtuft. Please make a part 2 where U discuss the snokit theory!
nice article, but we would need more info on snowtuft
I haven’t read TBC, but in OOTS, I already thought Snowtuft wasn’t that bad.
great article!
Great Article! 😀 😀 😛 😛
I wish he didn’t actually fully die. I feel pretty empty that if a cat dies twice they’re gone for good. I feel like he should’ve gotten a chance after dying by Ashfur. I don’t think cats like Tigerstar or Spottedleaf should come back, Spottedleaf I can understand. Snowtuft did an act of kindness and showed bravery before his death. I think this should’ve revived him. But… how? Some things are unknown to even StarClan cats.
