[image description: an orange tabby cat sleeps in a flower field]
Who do you think are Ravenpaw’s parents? I know the official family tree says Robinwing and Fuzzypelt, but it has a lot of mistakes and wouldn’t it be weird if both of his parents died in the same six moons? I think it’s Goldenflower and Patchpelt, bc Goldenflower takes care of him after he faints in Into the Wild and Patchpelt is her mate and also looks a lot like Ravenpaw. So, do you agree with me? Or do you think two other cats are his parents?
I just like to think that he’s Gray stripes brother, and maybe Dark stripes younger brother?? Tbh, I don’t really care about the parents :/
I consider Fuzzypelt and Robinwing to be canon. My theory is that they, Thrushpelt, Adderfang, and Swiftbreeze collectively died of some natural disaster of sorts, when Ravenpaw and Dustpelt were very young. They were too young to remember their parents much when they were older. Goldenflower and Patchpelt then adopted them and cared for them as kits. However, Patchpelt favored Ravenkit, causing Dustkit to harbor a grudge against his brother for the rest of his life, which is why they didn’t seem very close as apprentices.
Oh, that’s actually a really good theory, Mallow!
makes sense! agreed :DD
It would make sense that Goldenflower and Patchpelt would take care of him because they’re in-laws.
Ravenpaw spawned out of the void.
Lol yeah😛
Yup, its canon, he is an alien 😝
Ravenpaw was created by barley so barley can have true
LOVEEEEEEE❤️❤️❤️
Lol!
Goldenflower is Ravenpaw’s sister-in-law. Goldenflower is Thornclaw’s aunt, and Ravenpaw is Thornclaw’s uncle because Lionheart’s sister is Goldenflower, and Frostfur’s brother is Ravenpaw, making Goldenflower and Patchpelt Ravenpaw’s sister and brother-in-law. That took me about half-an-hour on the wiki to look at Harepounce’s and Robinwing’s family tree to see where they connected. Btw, they both connected to Thornclaw, so that’s why I used him to show this. I agree it would be unlikely that two parents would die around the same time, but since Goldenflower and Patchpelt are Ravenpaw’s family-in-law, it would explain why they cared about him when he fainted.
Oh wow, that seems like a lot of research! But makes sense!
Good. I had to look at five cats family trees
So . . . I just finished Thunder and even with the spoilers . . . Curlfeather, NOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! Also, who else thinks that Splashtail led the dogs to kill Curlfeather? He was being really suspicious in Frostpaw’s vision.
I think it is pretty much confirmed that Splashtail led the dogs to Curlfeather (via the prey). The prologue for Wind heavily implied it.
I haven’t started to read Wind yet, but I’d think that anyways.
yeah that was a major plot twist…
At least Curlfeather cared about Frostpaw and died saving her…
I think Splashtail tried to target Frostpaw as well with the dogs because he suspected that Frostpaw would realize what was going on.
I think it was probably just to kill Curlfeather because he needed Frostpaw to use her and become leader.
ya maybe…
at the end of Thunder you can see that Podlight was apparently made medicine cat by Splashtail-
Yeah, but that was when he thought Frostpaw was dead. After Frostpaw “died” Splashtail could no longer send her fake signs so he needed someone else to make him leader.
OMG I’m like in the middle of Thunder, and Splashtail was a bit suspicious
Sunbeam was AWEsome tho
Just submitted a Snowtuft article!
But Dw it’s not your regular theory vid
What if Snowkit is Snowtuft’s reincarnation :0?
That’s an interesting theory!
reincarnation——
idk :3
Stripey’s back after so long!! what if there was like a cat named Taylor from when they were a kittypet, later under warrior training as Taylorpaw, and since -swift can be a warrior suffix they’d end up as Taylorswift!! this is just something silly someone made up and im posting it here
Taylor is actually a sibling of Cloudtail so it’s possible😛
lol, I guess it’s possible 😛
lol HELP I’M DYING
I’ve thought about this before 😛.
There was actually a cat named Taylor- one of Cloudtail’s siblings, only mentioned by the authors. But they will never join the Clans.
Also, there are a variety of names a warrior could have that could be similar to Taylor Swift songs. For example: Lavenderhaze, Midnightrain, Wilddream, Sparkflight, Jumpfall, Whitehorse, Blankspace, Badblood, Daylight, and Blackdog could all probably be warrior names.
I don’t think any parent would be so mean to name their kit Badkit…
If we go back in time and Yellowfang knew Brokentail’s future then she could’ve named him Badkit
baaaaahahhahahhaha
that’s funny for some reason
I don’t even think she would be that mean…
Yeah, I guess.
Bahahahaaa
I made an OC named Sparkflight for that exact reason 😛
That would be fun to see! And warriors would not know who Taylor Swift is because they are cats….
That would be amazing!!!
🤔
Thoughts on Crowfeather?
I hate him. He just disobeys bc he enjoys it, was a terrible mate to both Leafpool and Nightcloud, and a horrible father to all of his kits.
He doesn’t disobey because he enjoys it, but I agree that he was an awful father
I think he does
I love him <333
He's not the best morally, but I love him as a character!
He’s . . . fine. His love life is hopeless, though. He never stuck with one of his mates (except for Nightcloud but he never actually cared about her until maybe after Crowfeather’s Trial), he was an awful father, and a grouchy cat that was rude to everyone except for Feathertail and Leafpool. He’s got good character and developed the smallest bit. He’s definitely not my favorite character, but at least he’s not like Breezepelt. Overall, he’s a horrible mate and parent, but an okay character.
My grumpy king!
I hate all the hate he gets but he is a bad father tbh but I just think he’s socially akward and sometimes u can’t help that matter how much you try to
I’m pretty neutral about him. I like his relationship with Leafpool, though. I don’t think he dated her just because she reminded him of Feathertail.
I don’t think Crowfeather liked Leafpool just because she reminded him of Feathertail, but he was really mean/rude to her after she left to help her Clan, making me dislike their relationship.
Leafpool was also rude to him in her novella.
She didn’t even speak to him in her novella iirc. Yes, she was angry when she saw him flirting with Nightcloud, but I completely understand that and Crowfeather was way, way worse imo
Agreed. He told her he loved her and ran away from the Clans with her, then the moment she did something he didn’t like he broke up with her and mated with Nightcloud.
In Leafpool’s Wish, Crowfeather was trying to talk to her, but she pushed him away actually.
Because she knew what she did was wrong
The book in which I like him (and Breezepelt) best is Crowfeather’s trial! (virtually the only time where I think Crowfeather is being nice /j)
Crowfeather is a great character but can be a bit of a mousebrain.
He is a complicated character. I would say that I am neutral on him.
Neutral.
😍 lol
I really like his character
He’s one of my favourite characters <3 😀 his growth as a character was really fun to read
There’s a lot of people that hate Crowfeather but I love him!
He is not that disloyal because after what he lost he came back to be the best warrior that he can be, even forcing himself to be in a relationship. He lost so much but kept on going. But now this does not give the excuse to be a bad father. I was so mad at him in Outcast. I suppose he is a bit socially awkward but he shouldn’t have shutted poor Breezepaw out :C! But I got back faith in him as tries as hard as he can to be a better father In Crowfeather’s Trial and learning to defend him as he should have done. I am glad that Onestar pushed Crowfeather to do so. It was the ONE thing that ONEstar was capable of doing. Breezepelt and Crowfeather moments in the SE were so heart-warming!! Crowfeather is one of the most flawed character but inside he’s just a sweet boi! People have every point to hate him but… idk he’s my comfort character. He’s relateble, funny, and heart-warming. Yeah Im sounding so cringe rn but Crowfeather’s my baby.
Sorry for it being so long! ToT
agreed! Crowfeather lovers unite! 😛 /lh
IM HERE!!! Crowfeather’s the best ❤❤❤❤❤
Yes,yes. The only thing that the world need the most right now is Crowfeather love /j
PS: He really should be leader!! There was SO many signs (aka about 2 signs). In that ravenpaw book, where he as a kit tries to climb onto the Great Rock to feel how it is to be a leader. What is the point of him going to the sun drown place when all he gets is a hopeless life?!
I agree!
I agree
My Theory for The Elder’s Quest
So this isn’t exactly my theory (´。＿。｀) bUT is a theory that I strongly support from Bright Guardian Akira. So I wanna hear your opinion! Oh and this doesn’t include Moonpaw really but what “The Elder’s Quest” means.
So we know from the blurb that Tawnypelt is trying to take matters to her own paws and cats are questioning Leafstar. So I think TNP gang will come together again to solve the territory problem. That means that Crowfeather will retire from deputyship as he will become an elder. And Brambleclaw’s just sitting there so he can come on the quest too. But I don’t think Squirrelstar will leave too as this might take time when Ivypool goes on the journey, so she can’t just leave her clan. But instead of Squilf, Leafstar will retire and maybe Hawkwing will be Hawkstar (Yay!). I think Brambleclaw, Leafstar, Crowfeather and Tawnypelt will go on the quest. Oh! And pick up Stormfur on the way as he’s just in the tribe.
Yeah that’s all I think might happen. What do you guys think?
It is possible. I don’t really have any predictions, though. Also, why would Moonpaw be a protagonist if only the elders would be involved in this?
Maybe to have someone to try to connect to StarClan, or like Leafpool in the beginning of TNP?
That would be a complete waste of character if you ask me. Leafpool’s only job was to connect with StarClan and her sister during TNP and that made me dislike her pov until the later books of the series
Lol I watched that vid too xD we love BGA <33 I think this theory b is very valid, but I fear that they might make Crowf deputy instead 😓
hmm, it could be possible… but idk, is Crowfeather old enough to be an elder? he might go anyways, but- i’m not sure if the Erins will do another TNP with some of the same characters.
Really plausible!!!! Personally, I don’t really think Crowfeather and/or Leafstar are going to retire (I don’t know why, they just don’t really strike me as the type to do that), and I don’t think Brambleclaw is as capable of going on a quest after the events of TBC, but this theory is really interesting!!!!!!! I do think there will be a quest, but who knows 😀 I guess we’ll just have to wait and see
It’s possible. I hope that something like that happens, it would be fun to read.
I hope not. It’s a good theory and has merit, but I don’t want to bring back old characters for the sake of nostalgia. Give me good, well-written, new characters! Let the new generation do things!
Reply with your opinions on these characters/topics! I’m very curious to see what they are 😉 Hope I didn’t make anyone too upset!! (also why is their so many PoT and OotS ones…???)
1) Lionblaze: I think he’s boring :/ he started out fine, but then just progressively got worse…
2) Fallen Leaves/ X Hollyleaf: I HATE IT SO MUCH! because, obviously holly is either aroace or with Cinderheart (either one is really cute!) Also, uhh why would she be in love with a dead guy..??
3) Dawn of the Clans: I love it!! Its my favorite arc, and I feel like it has great characters in it that get very ignored :(( I know most people haven’t read it, but I really do enjoy it 😀
4) Frostpaw: I think she’s a very compelling character and has some very interesting motivations! She’s always super fun to read about, and we love some gay kitties ;3 (COUGH COUGH WHISTLExFROST)
5) Ivy VS Dove: I don’t like either :DD they are boring to me, and I just like skimming their chapters to get to Jayfeather’s to be honest… I really can’t even think of who is “better” because I think they are on the same level :/
Lionblaze: Dislike. He repeatedly shows aggressive behavior and a lack of forethought. I suppose he’s gotten better after taking Cinderheart as a mate and becoming a father, though, but I still don’t like him.
Fallen Leaves/Hollyleaf: Neutral, not much to say here honestly.
Dawn of the Clans: I really like this arc! While the first three books were kind of boring, all the members of the arc were full of cats adapting to their new environments and fighting for peace and stability in their homegrounds.
Frostpaw: I like her! She used to be a naive young she-cat manipulated by Splashtail and Curlfeather, but after going through one of her lowest points in life, barely surviving a fatal attack, Frostpaw showed her emotional strength, courage, and determination as she grew into a braver, stronger cat ready to face any challenge thrown at her.
Ivy vs Dove: Both of them are great, but I’ll have to admit, Ivypool is my preferred one out of the OotS sisters. She displayed a ton of courage and loyalty even at a very young age, as well as maturity shown when she pushed all her jealousy aside to become a double spy and follow the right path.
Lionblaze- He is an aggressive idiot and that’s about it. I dislike him heavily.
Fallen LeavesXHollyleaf- With a bit more advancement this could be cool. Fallen Leaves probably needs a lot of therapy to ever think about having a mate. I don’t think Hollyleaf is aroace/lesbian because I really like this ship lol.
DotC- Probably my second-favorite arc. The relationships here were complex and the plot was intriguing. The only bad things were Skystar’s poorly executed redemption arc and the one-dimensional antagonists.
Frostpaw- I really like her. I didn’t think much of her until Thunder, when she changed from another nervous, overburdened medicine cat to a traumatized, terrified rogue who could hardly trust anyone. Her character arc has been interesting so far and I would like to see what she does in Star.
Ivy Vs Dove- I like both but I prefer Ivypool.
1. Lionblaze: I really don’t care about him, I liked him during apprenticeship but then he’s just meh. He has the most boring power and boring story, and btw I think it’s annoying that he got like 6 kits cause we don’t need that many Firestars in TC.
2. HollyxFallen Leaves:Idk it’s fine I guess, but also it doesn’t make any sense cause Hollyleaf has never had any interest in romance, but I think the ship is cute.
3. Dawn of the Clans: ARRRRGH I LOVE THIS ARC!!! It’s obviously the best. The story and the characters and, uh, everything else… it deserves more attention than it has.
4. Frostpaw: Sure she seems nice. (Haven’t read ASC)
5. Dovewing is meh but Ivypool is cool in my opinion, I think she’s… yeah cool, I like her, she’s like, strong and brave and stuff, Dovewing’s just a cat (and apparently very pretty cause all the guys want her 🙄).
Lionblaze: He’s fine, but sometimes a little dumb and I much prefer Holly and Jay!
HollyFallen: No, Hollyleaf is aroace and you can’t change my mind! Also, Fallen Leaves is DEAD for like, 1000000000000000 moons! It’s just ew
DotC: I enjoyed it, it was nice, tho Clear Sky infuriated me a LOT
Haven’t read about Frostpaw yet
Ivy vs. Dove: I agree, they’re both cliché, kinda boring characters, but I tend to like Dovewing a little more
1) Lionblaze. I like him. He was new to his power at first, meaning he didn’t have much control over his claws and it wasn’t his fault that Russetfur died. It was actually Ivypool’s for starting that meaningless battle in the first place.
2) Fallen LeavesxHollleaf. Eh . . . I don’t really like it and I never thought of it as a real ship anyways. He was just nice to her. That doesn’t mean that they love each other.
3) Dawn of the Clans. Not read it, but it sounds good.
4) Frostpaw. She’s a great character, but her pov got nowhere until the end of Shadow to be honest.
5) I dislike Dovewing, her ship, and how she lets Tigerstar 2 treat their kits better than their ENTIRE CLAN. In my opinion Ivypool was much more well-written than her sister
Lionblaze: I liked him more in POT and I was curious about his random intensity to idk kill people.
Fallen LeavesXHolly: I don’t have an opinion on this for some reason.
Dotc: It was interesting and well-written!
Frostpaw: Frostpaw’s Frostpaw
Ivy VS Dove: They’re both my little princesses! I like Dove cuz she’s sweet and whiny and Ivypool because she’s like a little double agent and very brave and stubborn
1. I think he had a lot of unused potential. PoT explored the idea that he was afraid of his own powers (and himself) but that plotline went dead. I think after OotS he lost all his personality. But when he debuted he was fun, impulsive, and cocky but matured a lot and I loved it. I hold a lot of nostalgia for him
2. Hollyleaf is aro/ace and you can pry that from my cold dead hands. I love it as a friendship, or a queerplatonic thing where they’re more than friends, but not “together” as we typically think of it
3. my absolute favorite arc. It deals with familial relationships, grief, generational trauma, and disabilities in surprisingly meaningful ways. I hate how Clear Sky was on his way to earning redemption (because he was making his way but wasn’t all the way there by they end) but now every time there’s a new book in that era he’s the stock villain. But I love pretty much everything about the arc. Falling Feather and Jackdaw’s Cry are an underrated duo and a foil to Gray Wing and Clear Sky but that isn’t talked about nearly enough. For StarClan’s sake they even have the same coloring!
4. I love her. She’s under so much pressure but I’ve adored watching her mature. I get pansexual vibes from her, since I think she was actually attracted to Splashtail, but I love WhistleXFrost, it’s cute. I think the plot of a medicine cat with a shaky connection to StarClan was handled far better than it was with Shadowsight. She’s just so great and she’s a precious bean
5. could have been handled better. I don’t like how easily they made up. That kind of resentment takes time to heal but it was so rushed. I think the rift between them made sense, and Hawkfrost’s manipulation just added fuel to the fire. But I would have liked more build-up with them being friendly before they were rivals. It would have made it appeal more emotionally
Edit: I realize that #5 was something different. You meant literally which is better and not the rivalry they had in the books. Well it’s too late and I’m not deleting it lol. I think Ivypool is a more compelling character, but I’m drawn to the traumatized/morally gray characters 107% of the time
1)Lionblaze: I liked him in PoT and OotS, but he is sort of just turns into a background character during TBC. He really doesn’t have a purpose anymore.
2) Fallen Leaves x Hollyleaf: I have not read Hollyleaf’s novella, so I don’t really know much about it, but I think that Hollyleaf should be single.
3) Dawn of the Clans: I have not read it.
4) Frostpaw: She is an interesting character. Her process of discovering who she is on the journey with Nightheart is interesting.
5) Ivy v.s. Dove: I like both of them for different reasons, though I do think that Dovewing got a bit boring after her novella.
I. Lionblaze was… I don’t even know. His character is interesting in hindsight, but only in hindsight; he’s honestly just really boring to read about
II. I thought Fallen x Holly was sweet 🙂
III. I LOVE DotC!!!!! It’s my favourite series yet!!!! 😀
IV. Frostpaw is just a confused kitty trying to save her clan 🙂 her chapters (in Thunder and Wind) were the most interesting to read, and tbh she’s a really nice character
V. Ivy vs Dove…. I love both of them!!! 😀 don’t make me choose!!!!
(blockquote)WARRIORS RANKED: #1(/blockquote)
Hello guys!! This is something new I’m started up, warriors ranked! I will ask a question and you give your answers! A new post will come up every Friday!! I’m really excited for this, and i hope you are too!
The question for this week is…
(b)What are your favorite warriors arcs, from best to worst? And, if possible, why?(/b)
My answers: VAGUE SPOILER WARNING
1. Dawn of the clans: it was absolutely perfect, all the betrayals, the story, the antagonist, the heroes, it was just amazing.
2. Power of Three: I love how fleshed out the three were, and Hollyleaf’s separate character arc, the murder of Ashfur, Dovewing wasn’t even that bad. We can’t forget about Sol!
3. The Prophecy Begins: You can’t beat the classics. Or Graystripe 😛
4. The Broken Code: I found myself absorbed in this series, Brambleclaw was decent and a ruler of the dark forest was incredibly interesting. Bristlefrost made me cry.
5. A Vision Of Shadows: I love Needletail, Alderheart, Twigbranch, Violetshine, Tree..basically everyone! The kin’s uprising, Darktail, Onestar’s backstory and death were all very interesting! The only reason this was ranked lower was because i just liked the other ones more.
6. The New Prophecy: The Great Journey, The Clans backstory, The tribe and watching the clans work together was amazing, but there wasn’t much of anything else, just territories and fighting. The different POV’s also threw me off. I liked Midnight though
7. Omen Of The Stars: This was the first Dark Forest uprising, a fleshed out Brambleclaw, an interesting villain, the only reason this was ranked so low was because of Firestar, it was understandable, but it made me cry.
8. A Starless Clan: I relate to Sunbeam a lot, we got a confirmed Squirrelstar, but everything just felt a bit too rushed in the span of 5 books, and they have so much to do for the last one.
So, what are your answers? Feel free to reply!
Tune in, next Friday for week 2: What are your top 10 favorite super editions?
1. Omen of the stars. I really liked a lot of the characters and The Last Hope was my favorite book for ages, and my favorite character came from that arc, so I like it a lot!
2. Dawn of the Clans. The story was well developed and I loved the characters sooo much. There are a few things I’d change, but overall it was really good
3. A Starless Clan. I hated both arcs before this one, so the return to the clan politics instead of uber-spiritual stuff and possession felt like a breath of fresh air. I loved the povs (tho nightheart took a bit longer to like) and the main interesting story didn’t end after book 3, which was incredible. I really just love like everything about this, and depending on how well book 6 is, it might be my number 1
4. Power of Three. I hated the filler books, but this was really focused on characters and I liked the huge generation the Three grew up with. Not to mention the fire scene is iconic
5. The prophecies begin. The villain is iconic and it was a good story, but I feel like the writing has gotten better since then. It’s really nostalgic but I like other stories better.
6. The New Prophecy. The travelling books were unbearable and the SquirrelXBramble ship was a hot mess, but I liked a few of the characters. Cinderpelt, Sorreltail, Cody, Midnight, Purdy, and a lot of others were really fun to read about, even tho this arc was usually boring. The LeafXCrow ship was basically the only drama after book 4, and it was just so slow and exhausting to get through
7. A Vision of Shadows. I really loved the plot with Darktail and how dramatic and threatening it was, but then that was wrapped up by book 3. Violetshine and Twigbranch are basically carbon copies of the sisters before them, dove and ivy, and i didn’t really care for either of them. I liked Alderheart enough, but he got boring too. The arc just slowed down soooo much after Shattered Sky, and i got exhausted of it
8. The Broken Code. I could say so so much about this arc but I hated every second of it. I hated all three povs, despise the BristleXRoot romance, and the plot is just so weird. I got so fed up with this series that by book 5, I really didn’t care who lived and who died. It almost made me give up on warriors altogether because it was so boring and I hated it so much.
Also Lights, for the bold and blockquote and all that, you have to use > and < instead of parentheses 🙂
Thanks, I’ll remember for future posts!
I’m not gonna rank A Starless Clan since I’m only halfway through it- but so far I like it :DD
1. Dawn of the Clans. It was really good, and the main protagonist was Gray Wing, one of my favorite characters. I think this arc had the best background and side characters.
2. The Prophecies Begin. This one is a classic, really! I still remember trying it for the first time. (The title was ‘Cat Warriors’ in the Korean version :P) It has a nice, fleshed out plot and iconic characters
3. Power of Three. I liked how each POVs had a clear character and personality. There were times when I was kinda annoyed by the drama, but otherwise it was amazing.
4. Omen of the Stars. This one was pretty great, although I got frustrated by the characters sometimes. It was chaotic, but in a good way.
5. The New Prophecy. I liked this one, although I wasn’t the biggest fan of all the travelling.
6. The Broken Code. The Ashfur business annoyed me badly- and my frustration towards StarClan got bigger with every moment- but Rootspring and Bristlefrost made it worth it.
7. A Vision of Shadow. It was alright, but the characters felt way too bland and the later books were kind of boring.
1. Omen of the Stars
I cannot express in words how much I love this arc!!! The characters are the BEST, the plot is the BEST, the development is the BEST, the twists are the BEST!!! I could reread OOTS all day long. It’s truly amazing. My favorite by far, it’s just so so so well written!!!!
2. Power of Three
Also an AMAZING arc! Again, awesome characters, plot, development, and twists, and I could also reread this arc over and over. The Ashfur fire scene was my favorite plot twist ever!!!
3. The Broken Code
What a meaningful, deep, thoughtful arc! This one really made me think after I finished it, and Bristlefrost’s death was so moving and meaningful, it made me cry! I loved the whole bringing back Ashfur thing and the whole Dark Forest action makes the end two books some of my favorites to reread. I don’t love the characters as much, but man, the plot makes up for it!
4. The Prophecies Begin
Come on, you can’t ignore the classics!!! The original characters and plot are some of the best, before things get complicated and tangled up in the later arcs. TPB is the perfect start to the series!
5. The New Prophecy
AMAZING characters, some of my favorites of all time! And the Great Journey and having to move to a new territory was amazing!!! The thing that brings this down is how badly Hawkfrost was done. You know he’s evil from the FIRST BOOK, but he literally doesn’t do anything at all until the last book!!! It’s annoying.
6. Dawn Of The Clans
This arc was good! Gray Wing is awesome and the plot was cool. It just doesn’t really stick out as an arc, which is why it’s ranked so low.
7. A Starless Clan
It’s not bad, but it’s certainly not the best. Frostpaw is the only protagonist I like, and it feels like things are going too slow and too fast at the same time. I like Curlfeather, but Splashtail’s kind of ordinary. I feel like this arc was kind of just a repeat of the other ones with a couple different stuff. Nothing unusual.
8. A Vision Of Shadows
My least favorite arc by far. The Darktail drama was ok, but it got boring after a while and then it finished up in the third book??? The last three books were terrible and nothing happened except for Finleap and Tigerheartstar causing meaningless drama. I also hate both Twigbranch and Violetshine. Alderheart’s good, but he got boring. I don’t think I’ve ever reread this arc lol.
1. TPB
If you ask me, the first series had all the emotion put into it and I could read it a thousand times and still be surprised by the twists and turns in it
2. ASC
The plot and character development was spot on
3. TBC
The drama, action, and somewhat mystery was perfect. Bristlefrost’s death was also a great and moving way to end the series.
4. AVOS
Darktail was a great villain, Twigbranch and Violetshine rule, and Juniperclaw’s sacrifice.
5. TNP
At some points the journey felt rushed and at some points it felt like it was going to take forever for them to do something. To be honest, the sharpclaw that was haunting the tribe wasn’t actually that interesting to me, and I didn’t feel very moved or sad when Feathertail died. I did feel a bit surprised, though.
6. OOTS
At least it got somewhere. One of the protagonists only thought with his claws and didn’t really try to use his brain, one of them was ✨Jayfeather✨, and then the last one . . . I really dislike Dovewing and her mate. Honestly, Ivypool’s pov was the most interesting, and she wasn’t even one of the three.
7. POT
This series got absolutely nowhere.
8. DOTC
I haven’t read it 😭
1. Omen of the Stars. I loved the plot and the antagonist of the Dark Forest, and I loved the scene where Hollyleaf fights off Sol. I also liked when Jayfeather showed StarClan the Dark Forest, and made them awarre of the problem.
2. Power of the Three. Sol is my second favorite antagonist. Also, Hollyleaf was a really interesting PoV.
3. The Broken Code. Bristlefrost’s sacrifice was really sad. Shadowsight was a really interesting character.
4. A Starless Clan. The mystery, and Frostpaw’s shock when she figured out that Splashtail tried to murder her was really well written. It was also interesting to see that Curlfeather is not the caring mother that she is written as in River.
5. The New Prophecy. The small plot points during the journeys were really interesting. It is the best arc with the tribe in it.
6. The Prophecies Begin. It was good, but the whole family tree thing was confusing. Tigerstar was an interesting character though.
7. A Vision of Shadows. The plot would have been really good, but it sort of ended midway through the arc. Twigbranch and Violetshine were really just not that interesting after Dovewing and Ivypool. Alderheart was good though.
I have not read Dawn of the Clans yet.
1. OotS: Another great arc! I enjoyed following the journeys of the two new protagonists, Ivypool and Dovewing, as they walked a path many cats never did. Dovewing originally struggled to embrace her abilities, but she grew to live with them and use her power to serve her Clan. Whereas Ivypool didn’t have abilities, causing her to grow further away from her sister, but when darkness threatened her Clan, she realized she had to push all her jealousy aside to help the Clans defeat evil.
2. TBC: This arc was great! I liked the plot and the protagonists; especially admiring Shadowsight’s determination to do the right thing as well as Bristlefrost’s courage in her days as a spy and her bravery to sacrifice herself to save the Clans. The emotion in this arc, plus the hope, bravery, and courage in the darkest days were really great.
3. TPB: I really liked the arc! It was action-packed from the first book to the last, and filled with interesting characters, whether it’s the noble Bluestar, the underhanded Tigerclaw, the underestimated Scourge, the friendly Graystripe, or our protagonist Firestar, each cat was unique and fun to read about.
4. PoT: A forbidden affair sparked the beginning of three young cats, Jayfeather, Lionblaze, and Hollyleaf. While they strove to protect the warrior code, secrets swirled around these determined ThunderClan cats, and with these came many emotional scenes that were absolutely stunning and interesting to read about.
5. ASC: Another good arc. All three protagonists had great development, but it also introduced one of Warriors’ most interesting villains, Curlfeather, who in the end, gave up power and leadership to save her daughter on the way to the Moonpool. Splashtail was cool too. The storyline ended up a bit similar to TBC, but nonetheless, I’m looking forwards to reading Star.
6. DotC: I liked this arc, it was a nice explanation for the Clans’ beginnings, and definitely better than the original one the Guides introduced.
7. TNP: This arc was great- a good transition from the aftermath of TPB and a swift evasion of another supervillain. Instead, there was a new plotline introduced- to find a new home and adapt to it. But even after they found new territories, the arc’s drama and adventures weren’t over. Rebellions, romance, and conspiracy brewed while difficult choices were made. The complexity of this arc is amazing aa
8. AVoS: I didn’t like this arc that much, but overall, I suppose it’s decent! Darktail’s reign led to ShadowClan’s fall, but as it rose, so did a new Clan, SkyClan. I wasn’t quite fond of these protagonists, though, and one of the books, Darkest Night, wasn’t all that necessary imo, it was just a filler, otherwise the arc would end short.
(aa I just copied and pasted from the Elders’ Den😭)
I. Dawn of the Clans. I absolutely LOVED it. Especially Clear Sky 😛 the clans being created was just so interesting, and the tribe cats moving away from the tribe and having to adapt into a completely different way of life was just.. really interesting 😀
II. The Broken Code. It was just… WOW. The whole “imposter” thing and then there just being no StarClan was interesting enough in and of itself, but then the “imposter” stalks in and starts using the warrior code against the warriors themselves… it was just wow. I have no other words. Just wow.
III. A Vision of Shadows. This was, in my opinion, the closest the clans got to absolute destruction. Darktail was such a real threat and the way he executed his attempts at destroying the clans made him seem like a whole new level of greatness. And then the whole SkyClan conflict… I don’t know. I just loved it 😀
IV. Power of Three/Omen of the Stars. These two are pretty much the same series to me 😀 The whole “three” with powers was super interesting, and then the entire Dark Forest coming to life to destroy the clans, and then the whole Jayfeather -> Jay’s Wing, and then Hollyleaf murders Ashfur… it was spectacular
V. A Starless Clan. Okay, I will admit, the first three books were pretty lackluster, but the latest two… wow. Splashtail??? Curlfeather??? Tigerstar II??? Who’s the new leader of RiverClan going to be??? Who is it I MUST KNOW- 😛
VI. The Prophecies Begin. It was a wonderful start to the series, it introduced us to the wonderful world of the clans, then you have Tigerstar I and Brokenstar and Scourge and… it was just an astounding start to the series.
VII. The New Prophecy. I don’t know, this series just fell a little back as compared to the rest. It was still absolutely wonderful, but I just didn’t really connect to the PoV characters as much. Still awesome, though 😀
1. The Broken Code! Even though I spoiled almost everything for myself it was an amazing read with complex characters and a unique plot!
2. Omen of the Stars! Just the Great Battle in The Last Hope was so intense I loved it. Only setback was the whole “fourth cat” thing. Like seriously? Firestar again?
3. A Vision of Shadows! Just a cool plot, loved the characters (my Alderboi!) Twigbranch was so cute and Darktail is an awesome villain! And Needletail…. 🤯🤯🤯 how dare our edgy boi kill our edgy girl!
4. The Prophecies Begin! Legit for the nostalgia but it was just great getting into the series and having to learn new lore!
5. Power of Three. Meh. It was good I guess not really memorable for me. Although Dark River was so good!
6. The New Prophecy. It was okay, just not my favourite cause THE TRAVELLING UGH
7. Dawn of the Clans. I just remember taking FOREVER to read Thunder Rising, I was just itching to get on to OotS to get back to the cats I know and love. It wasn’t terrible. I was just overall bored by it.
And don’t worry, I don’t hate ASC, I just decided not to put it on the list because I’ve only read the first 3 books of it.
1. TPB
While it’s the first series, I just find it hard to beat. It’s what introduced me to Warriors, and the plot was so original and creative at the time! I love how fleshed-out some of the characters are, and the nostalgia is just a bonus 😛
2. DotC
This one is a veeery close second for me! I loved this arc, every little bit of it. I found it fascinating to read about the very origins of the Clans, and to see how the cultures of the Clans then and now have changed so much. Plus, I absolutely adore Gray Wing and Shadowstar, they’re 2 of the best characters in all of Warriors imo 😛
3. TBC
Okay, I feel like there are some very mixed opinions on this series, but I personally love it. Ashfur was an excellent villain imo, and I really loved the fact that StarClan was being put on the spot and wasn’t ‘all-knowing’ or ‘all-powerful’ at all in this arc. I also appreciated that in this series the Clans as a whole were less reliant on StarClan!
4. PoT
I thoroughly enjoyed this series, and Hollyleaf was a top-tier character. I really liked the sibling dynamic of the Three, and the plot twist at the end? One of my all-time favorite scenes from Warriors. I also loved having Sol as a villain, especially as he didn’t need to show brute force or kill any characters but instead used manipulation, which I absolutely loved seeing from a villain.
5. ASC
I was genuinely surprised this series ranked this high on my list, but in all honesty, despite the fact that I don’t love this series, I find the protagonists so relatable and I absolutely adore the plot twist of **SPOILER!!** Curlfeather being one of the biggest villains of the series. And the murder mystery part of the series? Absolutely loved it. I also really love seeing more family/friend dynamics in the series, and I find it so wholesome how Nightheart has found his place in his family and his mom and sister are really trying to make up to him <3
6. TNP
I'm not a huge fan of the series, but I LOVE Hawkfrost as the villain. He, imo, is an excellent villain and I loved the final showdown between him and Brambleclaw. I also really enjoyed Leaf x Crow, I think it's a very overhated ship :))
7. AVoS
Yeah, I really hate this series. I found it so annoying that the main villain of the series was killed off halfway through the series, and none of the POVs seemed all that memorable (besides Twigbranch's excellent name, of course 😉 ). However, it has Needletail, Juniperclaw, and Tree in it, which redeems it a little
8. OotS
Okay, I feel like a lot of people are gonna come after me for this, but I really really hate this arc! I felt like it was a very poorly-done continuation of PoT, and it really just doesn't compute for me that Cat Hell somehow is able to come into the living world 😛 Like, I find the plot overall very stupid, and one of the most unoriginal storylines of the whole series. Like, we had no idea Cat Hell was evil. I'd much rather see a cat in the DF get redeemed, like Snowtuft or Juniperclaw, and I just felt like StarClan was far too highly-praised in OotS. Plus, I absolutely despise Dovewing, and it felt like most of her chapters were consumed by being googly-eyed over Tigerheart or having sibling drama with Ivypool. All in all, I feel like the only good things about it were Ivypool as a PoV, seeing Hollyleaf again, and seeing Hawkfrost again.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll be over here preparing to be bombarded by rotten tomatoes 😛
1) – the graphic novels-I mean, Power of Three. The Dark Forest thing was interesting, and we don’t get a lot of the DF in the other arcs. The only reason why I’d rank it a 3 if I could is because I was disappointed we had so many Dovewing and Lionblaze POVs, and all the Dove POVs are exactly the same.
2) – The Prophecies Begin. I just wish it had Graystripe POVs!!!!
3) – A Vision of Shadows. We definitely get more of ShadowClan, but I despise SkyClan, and the way Twigpaw and Leafdapple acted.. 😑
4) – none
5) – none
6) – The New Prophecy. It was pretty unoriginal-go on a journey, kill off all the protagonists and leave only the ThunderClan main characters. Feathertail’s death was so.. weird. Like, she’s my third favorite character, and during her death I didn’t feel sad at all. We need a Crowfeather POV! And Hawkfrost, my favorite character, was literally a mini Tigerstar AgAiN-
7) – none
8) – all the other arcs. ig I prefer fanfics and being on BlogClan.
Yeah., the rest of the books were just disappointing, considering 1 – Ivypool becomes deputy. we need Ivypool’s Heart RIGHT NOW! 2 – all the antagonists are my favorite characters. Hawkfrost.. Sleekwhisker.. Blackstar.. Thornclaw..
Did you know?
Thunderclan is slowly turning into a democracy, like the Tudor monarchs from medieval England, and I’ll tell you why: ASC SPOILER WARNING
Just a quick one word glossary, the term Once removed will be used in this, as well as twice removed, Once removed means a difference of one generation, twice removed means a difference of two generations, and so forth. Let’s say your first cousin has a child, that means the child is once removed, if your second cousin/s have a child, that means they are twice removed. Let’s start from Firestar.
FIRESTAR
BRAMBLESTAR (Firestar’s son in law)
SQUIRRELSTAR (Firestar’s daughter/Bramblestar’s mate)
Seeing as Ivypool is deputy, we can probably see a confirmed Ivystar, so
IVYSTAR (Firestar’s great-great niece/Squirrelstar’s great-great niece, yes, Ivystar would be Squirrelstar’s great-great niece too)
Now, I’m headcanoning here, but let’s say Ivystar chooses Lionblaze (if he’s not dead or an elder) as her deputy, that means
LIONSTAR (Firestar’s grandson/Ivystar’s first cousin twice removed)
And that’s it! I want to make this another series but I feel like i would run out of material fairly quickly, so feel free to give me suggestions in the reply’s if you’d like 😀
However, tune in next Saturday for the next Did you know?
did you mean monarchy 😛 a democracy is a society where the leader is voted in !
Yep 😛
Exactly 😀 ThunderClan is a corrupt dynasty of Firestar + descendants
By taking Sandstorm as a mate, Firestar made 2/3 of the Clans his family. Tigerstar the Second is related to Firestar by marriage. Ashfoot is related to Firestar through Crow x Leaf. Tigerstar the First, Graystripe, and Rainwhisker are related to Firestar! (Tigerstar the First -> Brambleclaw -> Sparkpelt -> Squirrelflight -> Firestar) (Graystripe -> Bumblestripe -> Dovewing -> Whitewing -> Cloudtail -> Princess -> Firestar. OR – Graystripe -> Patchpelt -> Brambleclaw -> Sparkpelt -> Squirrelflight -> Firestar) (Rainwhisker -> Willowpelt -> Graystripe -> Patchpelt -> Brambleclaw -> Sparkpelt -> Squirrelflight -> Firestar) And Tawnypelt is related to Firestar through Brambleclaw! Which makes Tigerstar the Second also related to Firestar..
Final Answer – Sorreltail is related to Darkstripe.
Sorreltail and Darkstripe are half-siblings already, I think.
Rank these characters from favorite to least favorite, and give your reasons why.
Mothwing, Tigerheart, Ravenwing, Star Flower, Nightcloud, Berrynose
1. Mothwing
I love how she always tries to do the right thing, even when she realizes that she never had a connection to StarClan after all, and that she was being controlled by Hawkfrost to fulfill his likings.
2. Tigerheart
I think he’s decent! He was a good mate to Dovewing, because he was willing to leave his Clan to find her in the Twolegplace. Not to mention he’s a decent leader too, as someone who has good intentions.
3. Star Flower
Her manipulation of Thunderstar was bad, but overall she’s a decent cat. She’s a good mate to Skystar, being someone who isn’t afraid to speak her mind. She is able to curb his temper yet support him at the same time.
4. Nightcloud
Nightcloud is okay. She used Crowfeather for kits, but at least she was a decent mother to Breezepelt in Crowfeather’s Trial. I was glad to see the edgy WindClan trio finally reconcile in the SE.
5. Berrynose
I can’t stand him. He’s annoying, insufferable, and acts like a know-it-all. Though he’s not on my least favorites list as all he really is is just an obnoxious cat.
6. Ravenwing
I could go on forever on how much I hate this guy. He snitched on Mapleshade and her kits, maybe showing some degree of remorse but otherwise caring less about them suffering than the Clan knowing the truth.
1. Mothwing: not that I really like her, she’s just a cat. I find it a bit annoying that she took so long to start believing in StarClan since cats were killed in the battle against the Dark Forest.
2. Berrynose: sure he’s a bit annoying but like whatever
3. Nightcloud: technically there’s nothing wrong with her, she’s a good mother and mate and you know, there’s nothing wrong with her
4. Ravenwing: I don’t actually think he did anything wrong; he just did his job. I’d say it was StarClan who snitched by sending him the vision cause it was his duty to tell Oakstar.
5. Tigerheart/star: Nah. Just nah. He was a good mate I’d say and a very good father and I honestly loved Tigerheart but when he’s leader he’s just nah.
6. Star Flower: ok so I have a whole article about this coming out (along with Juniperpaw) like August or September or smth but I’m just gonna shorten it down here: she betrayed Thunder and mated with his dad. Not cool, Flowo, not cool.
1. Mothwinggggg!
I 🩵 Mothwing! SHE SLAYS!!! I love that she has her own beliefs regardless of what everyone else thinks and she’s really feisty! But she is also a great medicine cat and a very good friend to Leafpool and Mistystar!
2. Tigerheart
I like him! I def think a lot of toms in warriors are terrible fathers, so I like to see a good one in Tigerheart/star for once! He was also a good mate to Dovewing and really cared for her, though I think he shouldn’t be leader.
3. Nightcloud!
She’s an amazing mother to Breezepelt, and I love how she stands up for him against Crowfeather! She went through a lot and I think she’s a good character!
4. Berrynose
He can be really annoying, like when Poppyfrost was expecting kits, but on the other side, he makes me laugh and is this funny character the series sometimes need!
5. Ravenwing
He is a dumb snitch! He randomly decided to make Oakstar banish Mapleshade and some innocent kits because of some weird vision! He didn’t even stand up for Larchkit, Petalkit and Patchkit when they got exiled! Ugh!
6. Star Flower
Ew. That’s her romance with Clear Sky. Reeeeeaaaaaaallllllllly gross and she was just stupid! She does nothing else than flirting and manipulating and being useless!
1. Mothwing
She’s . . . fine. She did a lot of stubborn things as an apprentice and should’ve told Mistystar she couldn’t talk to StarClan sooner. In my opinion, she could’ve stood up for herself or at least told someone what Hawkfrost was doing to her.
2. Nightcloud
She’s a great mother that cares for her kits deeply, but honestly, she should at least try to show it some. I know that Crowfeather never really loved her until after the events of Crowfeather’s Trial, but she never really loved him either.
3. Berrynose
He was annoying and when he became deputy to the false Bramblestar, he became even more dislikable
4. Tigerheart
I will never like this character. He ran off with his mate after he himself said that his Clan was going through hard times, came back and just became their leader after he was gone for two moons, made terrible decisions as leader (such as taking over RiverClan), and is just a really annoying character.
These are all the cats I know from the list. I haven’t read DOTC or Mapleshade’s Vengeance
1. Mothwing: She is incredibly loyal to RiverClan and her clanmates, and I loved in TBC when she refused to go back to RiverClan unless Icewing and Harelight could too.
2. Tigerheart/star: He is an OK leader, but tries to do the right thing, even if it comes off as wrong. He is loyal to Dovewing and his Clan.
3. Nightcloud: She is not one of my favorites, but it was mainly Crowfeather’s fault that they did not stay together, and she was an OK mother.
4. Berrynose: He is obnoxous, but I do not think he deserved to die in TBC. He is only here because I don’t know about the other cats.
5. Ravenwing: I have not read Mapleshade’s Vengeance, but I heard what he did. I do not think that he should have done it, but I do not think that he deserved what he got.
6. Star Flower: I have not read Dawn of the Clans
I. Tigerheart. I really liked him as a character; he’s a wonderful leader (in my opinion) and I don’t know I just really liked his character arc 😀
II. Berrynose *dodges tomatoes* I actually enjoyed his character. He was a real character that acted a lot like somebody you could meet in real life, and I honestly just thought he was an interesting character 😀
III. Starflower/Nightcloud. I really liked both of them 😀 They’re generally nice cats who did generally evil things but weren’t “evil”, per se.
IV. Mothwing. She was a really nice med. cat, even if she didn’t believe in StarClan, and her loyalty to her clan is really wonderful 🙂 her character arc was very interesting, too
V. Ravenwing, for all the same reasons as you
Mothwing, Tigerheart, Ravenwing, Star Flower, Nightcloud, Berrynose
1. Nightcloud! A brilliant mother with an interesting character and story arc, Nightcloud was just so fun to read about in Crowfeather’s Trial. Love her.
2. Berrynose. He’s just so annoying omg but the Berrystumpytail, although being a Jayfeather line I think is absolute GOLD. and he’s just the worst I like him lol
3. Mothwing! Mothpool. Need I say more?
4. Star Flower! She’s a cool character and a sinister brat.
5. Ravenwing. He did nothing wrong I just find him boring. He was only trying to help his clan.
6. Tigerheart. Just annoying,
1. Nightcloud
Though she was quite… prickly and she did kind of coddle Breezepelt, she became a better mother and I was really proud of her and Crowfeather coming to an agreement in Crowfeather’s Trial. I also really like how she stands her ground and fights for what she believes is right. She may not fight for the right things, but it’s still respectable.
2. Mothwing
I like how she stands by the fact that she doesn’t believe in Starclan, and doesn’t give in when someone questions her beliefs. I would put her higher if she hadn’t been so annoying to Shadowsight in TBC.
3. Tigerheart
I liked Tigerheart, not so much Tigerstar, but here we go. He clearly loved Dovewing a lot, and went after her when she disappeared. Good job.
4. Ravenwing.
I used to hate him with a burning rage, but now I don’t as much. He never knew that Oakstar was going to banish Mapleshade, and look at the situation. A warrior had kits with a cat in a different clan, so it made sense to tell his leader, right? And even though I don’t hate him with a burning rage anymore, I still hate him.
5. Berrynose
He was really annoying. That’s it.
6. Star Flower
This is a character I currently hate with a burning rage. I think it was really weird how she dated a guy, manipulated him, and then GOT WITH HIS DAD?! No. Just no. I hate her. I don’t care what kind of relationship she has with Skystar. I hate her.
Mothwing, Tigerheart, Ravenwing, Star Flower, Nightcloud, Berrynose
1. Ravenwing
I don’t blame Ravenwing for anything he did. When he received the omen about Mapleshade’s kits, he had no reason not to tell Oakstar. Firstly, he was quite nervous about his newly acquired position as the sole medicine cat, and he probably wanted to prove himself to Oakstar. Secondly, StarClan was giving him an omen about the kits’ parentage. Why would StarClan give him an omen if he wasn’t supposed to tell Oakstar? That’s one of the main jobs of a medicine cat. Thirdly, Mapleshade was already acting quite delusional, in assuming that the Clan would have no problem with being told about the kits’ parentage. Ravenwing probably realized that Mapleshade wasn’t a very good cat already. Fourthly, Ravenwing didn’t know that Oakstar would exile Mapleshade and her kits. He probably just wanted to let his leader know about something important. Oakstar’s decision to exile Mapleshade and the kits was not something Ravenwing could predict.
2. Mothwing
Mothwing is a great character. She was manipulated by Hawkfrost initially into helping him gain control of the Clans, but after that she was a good medicine cat who proved that rogues can sometimes be trusted in the Clans. I’m not a huge fan of LeafMoth because there really isn’t any canon evidence to back it up. However, in The Broken Code, her personality shifted dramatically and she was just a grouch for no reason. This changed, however, in ASC, when she went back to normal. She was also shown to have leadership skills, when she became the acting leader of RiverClan while Owlnose was floundering as leader. And from the looks of it she will become Mothstar soon.
3. Star Flower
Star Flower was a pretty good character, in my eyes. She was a backstabbing traitor, but I think she redeemed herself eventually. She betrayed the Clans to help her father, and I think that she was somehow convinced by him that that was a good idea because she loved him. But once she realized her father’s mistakes, she rejoined the Clans and never did anything else wrong. She isn’t my favorite character, but I don’t really have any reason to dislike her. Also, I do like her relationship with Skystar. I thought it was funny: two less-than-angelic cats becoming mates.
4. Nightcloud
I haven’t read Crowfeather’s Trial so I don’t know what she did there. But outside of that, she seemed like a decent cat. I feel kind of bad for her, being mates with Crowfeather, who loved Leafpool and was only mates with Nightcloud to gain respect in his Clan. Nightcloud, however, was a good mother to Breezepelt, and she seemed to really care about him, while Crowfeather really didn’t.
5. Tigerheart
I don’t like Tigerheart. He was pushy and annoying, and always thinks that what he thinks is right is right. Of course, Tigerheart has done good actions over the course of the series, like harboring the exiled cats in TBC. But in ASC, he tried to take over RiverClan, and made ShadowClan at home there when no RiverClan cat wanted them to be. He only backed off when he was threatened with all-out war.
6. Berrynose
I really don’t like Berrynose. Not only was he highly annoying throughout the series, but he became a teacher’s pet in TBC and seriously trusted Ashfur, despite obvious signs that something was wrong. He even fought against his own Clanmates on Ashfur’s side, and was fortunately killed by Tawnypelt while doing so.
1) – Berrynose. Please stop throwing rotten fruit at me. Idk why I like him, because I hate Dovewing and they are tHe SaMe- he’s not my fav, just not as annoying as..
2) – ..Nightcloud. I don’t like how she forced Crowfeather (one of my second favorite characters) to be her mate (I mean the Clan did but ehh). And Crowfeather was only a bad dad because he hated Nightcloud. But I’m neutral on her for the most part.
3) – Ravenwing. I’m neutral on him since I haven’t read Mapleshade’s Vengance, but I’m neutral on Mapleshade too, so..
4) – Star Flower. I don’t like her attitude, but she’s better than Clear Sky at least. (In my opinion.)
5) – Tigerheart. I don’t like how he kept getting ShadowClan into trouble, similar to Tawnypelt, and he should never have been leader. I also despise Dove x Tiger and hope that Dovewing falls off a cliff and lands on Tigerheart and they both die- alright sorry, but actually.
6) – Mothwing. I ABSOLUTELY LOATHE THIS CAT. She’s right above Hollyleaf on the hate scale. I mean, it’s only natural, because I love Hawkfrost. I hate how she keeps it a secret that she can’t communicate with StarClan, and that she doesn’t teach Willowpaw about StarClan (there’s no evidence that she does). Doing this, she could destroy RiverClan! I hope she and Leafpool fall off a cliff and die, similar to Tigerstar and Dovewing. (Okay, sorry not sorry.)
Hmm. I see I have unpopular opinions. (Please let this throughhh)
What do yall think about Rowanclaw??? (Might use this in an article but also just curious)
Rowanclaw was a decent deputy, but he should have been a stronger leader and not let Darktail just take over his clan.
He was such a strong warrior and I’m still really confused on why he was a great warrior and such a bad leader. I wanted him to be a better leader, but I guess he needed to be part of the plot . . .
I love him. He was an honest, good-hearted leader who just wanted what was best for his clan. He didn’t want to punish his cats, he didn’t want to upset them, but he still very much wanted to keep the integrity of his clan in check. He may have lost control of his clan to Darktail, but he was a wonderful, nice leader who just wanted what’s best for his clan WITHOUT violence. We need a lot more leaders like him 🙂
As a warrior he was nice and as leader he was EEHSHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEEHEHEHEHEEGGEEGEGEGRGRGRRRRRREGEEEEERRRRRRRRR
agree 100% 👍
Agreed
real
I hate rowanclaw
Agreed
Ok, so I have this headcanon that Barley is a descendent of Myler. They’re both barn cats, maybe that barn is the same one, and they’re both black and white! So what do you think? Does this make sense?
Hmmmmmmm perhaps!
It’s possible. If he is, he is probably Myler’s grandson.
mayhaps, but remember that barley started out as a bloodclan cat! And barley’s farm is in windclan territory, while I believe myler’s was between riverclan and thunderclan
Barley is so old he’s probably Myler’s great-great-great grandfather.
If so then he was originally a BloodClan cat?
BloodClan isn’t some ancient Clan. It was actually formed long after Myler appeared and presumably died. So a descendant of Myler could’ve moved to the Twolegplace after learning about a group of cats who weren’t the Clans, joined BloodClan, and could’ve had a kit: Barley. And Barley moved from BloodClan to the barn.
I was just thinking if Ivypool became leader of ThunderClan, would she choose Sunbeam as her deputy? She and many others from ThunderClan like Sunbeam and think she’s a nice cat and are friends with her, and since Ivypool was one of them, is it possible that if Ivypool becomes leader she’ll choose Sunbeam as deputy?
Sunbeam needs to have an apprentice first, and Squirrelflight has a bunch of lives left not to mention that Ivypool isn’t that young. But maybe, if she became Ivystar, she might choose Sunbeam, because the former ShadowClan cat has been through a lot of hardships in her life yet she continues to be a determined, courageous, and loyal cat. She had to move on after Blazefire’s rejection, put aside rules she fully treasured to love another cat, then adjust to a new environment.
Well, because she trained so well with Spotfur’s kits, I don’t think it’ll be long before she takes on her first apprentice.
Knowing Ivypool, she may be nice to the cat, but she still looks out for a deputy’s quality, Sunbeam may have that, but she is also extremely soft. I mean, she’s choosing the next potential leader! I stated it above, but I feel that Lionblaze (if not dead or retired) would be the best choice for deputy. But we might just have another hothead that can fight well arrive sooner or later 😛
I don’t think she’d pick Lionblaze. After what happened in TBC, I doubt Lionblaze will be chosen as the deputy ever again. It was a horrible choice choosing him in the first place, and it should never happen again.
I agree.
Probably!!! 😀 that actually makes a lot of sense. By the time Squirrelstar loses all her lives, Sunbeam will have an experienced and loyal warrior, making her an obvious choice for Ivypool/star (if she becomes leader)
No. Sunbeam just joined the Clan, and I think Ivypool would want someone who was born in ThunderClan to take over. While Sunbeam might theoretically make a good choice, I don’t think Ivypool would pick her for this reason.
I actually love that theory!! I’d also love to see Twiggledybranch as deputy for no reason other than I love her 😛
I love Twigbranch too!
WOAH WHAT-
*me who’s only read river sky and shadow*
I don’t think so, she may be nice to a cat but that doesn’t mean she’ll choose them. Sunbeam is soft, and, after all, she’s picking the next potential leader. I said it above, but I believe she’d pick Lionblaze (if he’s not dead or retired), unless a new hothead that’s good at fighting shows up 😛
Sunbeam is not “soft”. She took a huge risk by taking Nightheart as a mate because her own mother didn’t agree with cross-Clan relationships. Also, it was hard to stand up to her mother. A “soft” cat wouldn’t be able to do that.
I don’t think loving someone from a different clan does not make you soft. I do agree with the mother part, but I’m talking about her personality itself, not her feelings or actions. Plus, what Mallow said, she’s incredibly new.
Her personality may be a bit soft, but she’s new to ThunderClan and really shy. Once she has time to fully fit in with her new Clan, she’ll become a stronger warrior. Also, it’ll be a LONG time before she becomes deputy (if she ever does), giving her plenty of time to become more experienced and less “soft”.
Hmm. The second Tigerstar, the second Sunstar, what’s next, the second Fuzzball?
Oooo that would make sense! I like that theory 😀
