I need a couple more comments for my article! 🐾
Tell me what you like/dislike about Mapleshade and if I can put your comment in my article! 🍁
Thanks! 🙃
I put my thoughts on you first comment
I like Mapleshade as a villain, but I don’t think her actions were justified in any way. Just because she was grieving and felt betrayed did not give her an excuse to murder several innocent cats.
You can include my comment in your article, and it you want me to go more into detail lmk.
I might write an article on all the male torties in warriors! Lemme know if I’ve forgotten any
Redtail
Sol
Spiderleg (on the official family tree his symbol is black and brown)
That one kit, Finchlight and Nighthearts dead brother
Tawnyspots? Never read a book W him in it but I hear he’s a tortie
Any others?
Tawnyspots isn’t a tortoiseshell iirc :3 and Nightheart’s brother is called Flickerkit
I don’t think Spiderleg Is a tortie. (If he is, my life has been a lie lol)
*cough* he is T^T yeah black and brown cats are also torties…
Black and brown cats don’t exist in real life, so they technically aren’t tortoiseshells. However, in the realm of Warriors genetics, a black and brown cat probably would be counted as a tortoiseshell.
Fircone, Scraps, RiverClan Robinwing
Flickerkit. That’s the name of the kit.
Spiderleg isn’t a tortie, he just has a dark brown underbelly (correct me if that counts as a tortie lol)
Technically yes; a tortoiseshell is a cat who has orange and black fur (or gray and cream fur, if they have two copies of the recessive diluted gene.) Spiderleg has a mix of black and brown fur, which is genetically impossible. In the realm of Warriors genetics, Spiderleg probably would be counted as a variant of a tortoiseshell, so it makes sense to include him here.
Oh, thanks for telling me :3
Oh and Shellfur
I did some research and the only ones on the wiki I found were Redtail and Shellfur the rest are mostly mottled black and brown cats or some thing.
Sol is a calico which doesn’t really count as a tortie ig and Tawnyspots (he is a cat in under Pinestar and Sunstar’s leadership) is a light gray tabby. There might be other tortie toms but the only ones I came across are Redtail and Shellfur.
There’s no way Tawnyspots is gray. He’s deffo a tortie. Lemme check Blue’s P.
Wait I can’t find it
He is gray… you can search it up in the wiki or here you go!
https://warriors.fandom.com/wiki/Tawnyspots
I remember one of the Robinwings being a male tortie I think?
EDIT: Yass I knew it
Robinwing is a pale-furred[4] tortoiseshell-and-white tom.[3]
Hi people! I’m writing an article where I analyze Hollyleaf and I want to add an oppinions section. Could you please put your oppinion on Hollyleaf? It can be a sentence to about a paragraph (4 to 5 sentences max). Due date is August 20th, any ones submitted after that are not guaranteed to be added 🙂
Also, while Im here, this is gonna be the start of a series where I analyze controversial characters, I’m already thinking Ivypool, Jayfeather, and Squirrelflight. Any other character ideas?
I think Hollyleaf is an interesting and complex character, and I also think she was right to kill Ashfur. I loved her relationship with Fallen Leaves, although I think it was platonic and I also headcanon Hollyleaf as aroace. Her death was the only time I cried while reading Warriors other than Leafpool’s vigil, which takes place in Squirrelflight’s Hope. | Character ideas: Ashfur, Mapleshade, Star Flower, Dovewing, Firestar, Bluestar, Brambleclaw, Frecklewish, Appledusk, Ravenwing, Feathertail, Spottedleaf
I LOVE HOLLYLEAF!!!!!!! okay now that that i have got the point across bye just kidding 😉 Hollyleaf was always a rule follower and sometimes that did get on my nerves but she is a really understanding cat to me but thats all i have to say right now catch you later Byeee
She’s amazing! She has such great character that I can relate to, and she plays a great part in Power of Three and Omen of the Stars even though she sadly didn’t end up being one of the three. I love her and I think that she should’ve been written better, but I do think Power of Three and Omen of the Stars all could’ve been written better, because even though she was a relatable and amazing character, it was quite messy how she worked through her problems.
I love her, she was such a great character and an interesting pov. Granted she was overly committed to the warrior code but that’s only because she wanted to be a good warrior for her clan. She gave up her medicine cat apprenticeship because it would be better for her clan. To explain her actions at the end of sunrise, she was under large amounts of stress and her life had been upended. She ran because she needed some time to recover and think, plus she returned to her clan in there time of need and died a noble warriors death.
Sorry if this is a bit long 🙂
Edit: Character ideas- Dovewing, Mapleshade, Spottedleaf, Firestar, Clearsky, Tigerstar 2, Lionblaze and Breezepelt
I think Hollyleaf is an okay character. I like her in OoTS, but I strongly dislike her in PoT. She’s too obsessed with rules and doing what’s right and she really overreacts. Now that I think of it, I don’t like her that much at all :3
I personally think Hollyleaf is over rated. Idk why though.
I really like Hollyleaf! From the beginning, she proved herself to be a determined, logical, and diligent cat who took her duties seriously. But although she turned out to not be in the Power of Three prophecy, she made her mark in Clan history nonetheless. In the end, she died a warrior’s death, saving Ivypool from Hawkfrost’s wrath.
Ideas: Breezepelt, Crowfeather, Nightcloud, Dovewing, Leopardstar
I really like Hollyleaf. Her development across the series was interesting.
At first, she was really ambitious and took rules to heart. She even tried becoming a medicine cat so she would have power in the Clans. I didn’t really like her friendship with Cinderheart, because Cinderheart is in general an extremely bland character. But her relationship with Willowshine was more interesting. Hollyleaf even snuck into RiverClan to see Willowshine, but she stopped after Leopardstar sent her home and she adapted her rule-embracing persona. She stayed this way for a while until Ashfur threatened her life, alongside Squirrelflight and her siblings. She learned that she was a codebreaker from her birth- everything she was against. This caused her to break down, and she ultimately decided to kill Ashfur after he threatened to tell all the Clans. She then decided to tell the Clans about how she was a codebreaker herself, and she then tried to kill Leafpool, and accidentally got trapped in the tunnels below the Clans after the exit got blocked by a rockfall.
These weren’t great moves by Hollyleaf. But her time in the tunnel wisened her, and she met Fallen Leaves. He helped her get over her mental struggles, and eventually Hollyleaf returned to the Clans, wisened, skilled, and more mature. She helped the Clans train for the Great Battle, but she was killed in the battle, a changed cat.
Ultimately I really like Hollyleaf. She developed a lot over the series, and in the end, she was a mature and wise cat. I wish she had survived the Great Battle.
I liked Hollyleaf she was a cool and complex character. Her obsession of the code was pretty interesting but could have been developed more. No matter how much I love Dovewing I still feel like Holly deserves to be one of the Three. Her novella was pretty good and all. I also like her friendships with Cinderheart and Willowshine
Other character ideas: (I will do one from each arc) Bluestar, Midnight, Cinderheart, Tigerheart/star, Clear Sky, Alderheart, Rootspring, Frostpaw or Splashtail
Hollyleaf was that annoying snitchy kid in the playground🤣. She killed Ashfur though, that was an achievement.
ideas:
-Mapleshade
-Bramblestar
-Ashfur
-Mudclaw
Hollyleaf is my favorite character!!! Her personality is just so relatable and I just feel so connected with her! Her story’s also awesome, and when she sacrificed herself for Ivypool that made me cry 😭😭😭
I think she’s a complex character who I quite enjoyed reading about. I liked seeing her perspective of the prophecy and of her true parentage, but I don’t think she was right to kill Ashfur. I think it’s a shame that she died in The Last Hope, as I would’ve liked to see her unique perspective of the following events.
Tempestpaw, Rosefern and Hollypaw, I’m so sorry but I submitted my article on Mapleshade and I didn’t see y’all’s comments!
I’m really sorry! If I ever do something like this again y’all can definitely be in my article! 🐾
😭😭😭
For my fellow Bright Guardian Akira fans, opinion on the video about that disastrous video about the WC movie?
For who didn’t watch it, they said in the video they might make the cats bipedal, and they also used some AI art, tho we don’t know if they just used it for the video or they will also use it for the movie.
Anyway, would you watch if the cats were bipedal and/or they used AI art? I wouldn’t in either situation.
Me NEITHER, omg I had no idea about any of that, I gotta watch that video
I haven’t watched the video but now I’m highly concerned.
Just watched the video and… jeez. I was never excited for the movie because I was 99% sure that it would be significantly flawed or messed up somehow, and I didn’t see the point of getting my hopes up. But this is a lot worse than what I imagined.
I KNOW I WATCHED IT AND I’M PANICKING THEY CAN’T MAKE ‘EM BIPEDAL
…What? AI art and bipedal cats? I need to watch that video asap 😛
I love Bright Guardian Akira I really hope they don`t use AI art (I mean they did but still)and please don`t go down bipedal path don`t. I will never for either
Yeah just watched it now. I really honestly in all means would be very angry if they use bipedal. Ig i can handle AI art but bipedal is too much! This is not some sort of puss in boots thing. I was very concerned about this.
Nooooooooooooooooooooo, I thought the movie would be good, now they are making it sound bad. I love Bright Guardian Akira tho!
Rosefern, Tempestpaw and Hollypaw, I already sent in my article about Mapleshade before I saw y’all’s comments!
I’m so sorry!
If I ever do this kind of thing again y’all will definitely be in there if you comment!
I’ll set a due date next time! 🙂
😭😭😭😭😭
make sure you do otherwise I might as well not tell you 🙁
I will! Again, I’m sorry! 😞
Rosefern, please don’t make Dewpaw feel bad, they already apologized, no need to make them feel even more guilty.
…ok, i worked hard on that paragraph tho
Does anyone know the warrior cats adventure game?
Sadly no
No, can you play it on mobile? :3
I think they meant the adventure game, like, the irl one, like Dungeons & Dragons :3
Oh! Then I have played it!
Heard of it, but sadly never played
Yep! I’ve sorta played it before but lost interest haha
I haven’t heard of that. Is it fun?
i have not but I found everything I need to play
YEAH ive always wanted to play
OMG YES I USED TO PLAY IT
Really cool
Never had enough players. But I’d read through the stuff at the back of books and make my way through myself
Same
sameeeee
No, I don’t think so, sorry 🙁
Can’t work out how to access the actual thing 😛
Okay, guys, don’t kill me now but… AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO STRONGLY DISLIKES BOTH BRISTLEFROST AND ROOTSPRING?
I hate Bristlefrost, but I do like Rootspring!
Used to hate Briss until she died now I love her
Loved Root from the start
I like Rootspring!
Bristlefrost is okay but I don’t get why everyone is crazy about her…
NOPE I DO TOO :DDDD THEY’RE BOTH KINDA BLAND IN MY OPINION
Yeah, i’m not… particularly fond of either of them
*dramatic gasp of disbelief* Why?? 😛 /lh
Rootspring cuz: I think he was really mean and selfish when he thought of Tree (I love Tree) and called him weird, and then refused to tell anyone about his “power” Cause apparantly than makes him weird? Idk it was just really selfish.
Bristlefrost cuz: idk she’s just an annoying brat and also kinda dumb.
Don’t know much about them but Rootspring seems kinda bratty 😛
rootspring is a nice character, but pretty basic. bristlefrost is a bit better, maybe a bit petty, but the erins mostly made up for it by killing a pov. her death was probably a fav scene in the series for me. but bristleXroot on the other hand….I totally shippp 😛
I love bristlefrost, but Rootspring is a bit too timid for me
I like them both, but I won’t call them my fav characters
i just realised that mapleshade is kinda macbeth vibes lol
like she was a respected cat with lots of authority, she hallucinated three of her kits telling her to go beat up some people, she had a massive fall from grace, she turned into a merciless killer and she was killed by an underdog hero kinda guy (some details are different but most of the main stuff is similar, funnily enough)
lol
😮 That’s so true! Hmmm maybe someone should write a comparison article or smth.
Oh yeah I can see that
Fr!
Wait? Your right! That’s so funny lol!
Wait that’s so cool 😛 I haven’t read Macbeth, but whenever I do, I’ll look for similarities! 😛
obligatory “stop saying the M word!”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Scottish_Play
That’s so interesting :0 I had no idea saying that in a theatre will cause disaster to happen /gen
yep!
whoopsies 🙁 i promise i won’t call it macbeth again /lh
Yes
Haha 😛
There haves actually been a few incidents about saying that name but it’s coincidence
Incident that actually happened: So in my class we were learning about “The scottish play” (DON’T SAY THE M WORD) And one of us said the word. Not even thirty seconds later, my friend reaches to get a pencil that falls on the floor and falls weirdly and dislocates her knee. DON’T SAY THE M WORD I’M WARNING YOU 😂
Hey y’all so the new blurb for Changing skies the elders quest where it says that Moonpaw has a mysterious voice in her head. Anyway I wanted to ask you guys what you think the voice is.
Mapleshade. It’s exactly the kind of thing she would and has done.
I agree that Mapleshade would do that but I feel like she’s done that WAY too many times and also she should have faded by now.
I actually don’t really have an idea but I just don’t want it to be Mapleshade! She is getting so boring and I really don’t like her. But I really want someone to be it. SCOURGE! In TPB he just came out of no where and became the villain. But after TPB he just sort of disappeared and I was really disappointed that his character just ended there. But now if he is the voice that would actually be cool that the voice is coming neither from Starclan nor the Dark Forest…. And that Scourge was just plotting this whole time to bring the biggest attack of all. But then it’s probably just Mapleshade :P. Even If I really want Scourge. I really want a girl boss villain other than Mapleshade. Like the only other she-cat villains i know are like Sleekwhisker and Sparrowfeather (I think) an they so minor character and who knows where Sleekwhisker went.
Yeh sorry if this was long. 😀
People forget about Curlfeather. She was a she-cat and, in my opinion, the most interesting and complex villain in the series.
Oh sorry there… didn’t read ASC yet and I thought Curlfeather was a tom. 🤯🤯🤯 Silly me!
My answers by pure intuition:
1. Ashfur
2. Mapleshade
3. Goldenflower
I don’t think it’s any of those three tho, lol
Idk 😛 but did you see what she looks like?
1. Mapleshade?
2. A dead spirit like Tigerstar I or Hawkfrost
1. Firestar (Because why not try to add him into another book? 🙄)
2. Leafpool
3. Featherpelt
darkstalker ofc /j
That would be interesting….
Ooh yes best answer
Anybody but Mapleshade. I love her, but if she gets used again i will be very disappointed. She’s been used plenty already, just let her die (since she was already fading and being forgotten)
I’m hoping for some kind of ancient spirit like rock or midnight but evil and manipulative. Maybe they could also have taught Sol to be so manipulative. Maybe they could have been pulling the strings behind the crises of the clans. On the other hand, a protagonist returning from the dead after having a corruption arc would be nice. Maybe an erased one like bristlefrost who somehow survived.
honestly hoping it is Bristlfrost</strike[ignore my fail at codeAAAA I JUST REALIZED HOW BORING THAT WAS LEMME SPICE IT UP🎉🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀
I genuinely have no idea sorry 😛
This is random but my mind naturally censors all the prey in Warrior Cats. Like when I wrote that scene about Ripplepaw trying to give away her magpie, she was trying to give away a black and white box. That squirrel that Smokestar and Icicle caught together was just a brown rectangle. I think it’s because I’m quite squeamish and I have had pet mice before, so I sensor out all the details so that I can still enjoy the book series- when other, darker books describe the deaths of small animals, I tend to ficsate on it for a few chapters.
That being said, I can read and picture all the details of Tigerstar’s Nine Major Organs with no problem.
Interesting :3 my picturing of some scenes are probably worse than they’re supposed to be…
I love that :p
Oh naw now you made my sick by talking about Tiggystar’s organs…😛 It’s ok, I’m just kinda sensitive to that stuff😛 I kinda censor the deaths of cats for myself, ex. when Snowfur dies, I imagine she just vanished after the monster ran over her cuz I don’t wanna think about how she’d look otherwise, and yeah, that kind of stuff
I’m so sorry!
It’s okay, I should’ve put /hj actually
am I the only one here that pictures cat battles as cats slapping eachother? Also, with tigerstar’s organs, I just imagine them all being light pink grapes- LIKE WHAT MY BRAIN IS INSANEBAHAHAAHAHAHAA
It’s okay I picture cat battles like cats running around on two legs with their arms in the air and tigerstar’s organs like light red steak so-for some reason, my brain just does not picture anything at all
idk, but i think i might have aphantasia (the inability to visuals images)
sometimes i can visualize stuff but it’s usually blurry and i don’t seem to be able to picture stuff while reading
For me, I think I see it how it’s supposed to look like. Well, when I see a cut in my mind, it looks like a dark red line for some reason.
That’s so fascinating that you picture shapes in the place of the prey!! :0 /gen Like Ivy said, I generally just picture exactly what the scene describes, but I probably get a few details wrong :p
Does anyone have any suggestions of good how to draw warrior cat videos?

I can’t draw for the life of me, sorry, but good luck 😭
Nah you’re a good artist 🖌️
