Warrior cat names in italian- (I’m a quarter italian :>) OKAY letz go imma just do my favourite characters (not in any particular order) ALSO i translate these with a space inbetween the prefix and suffix otherwise it wont translate (EX: instead of Twigbranch its Twig Branch)
Twigbranch:
Ramo di ramoscello. Why does this remind me of raviolli- I HATE RAVIOLLI 4/10
Ivypool:
Piscina d’edera. I like the first part! The second though… 7/10
Violetshine (FAVE):

Hollyleaf:
Foglia di Agrifoglio. Fog..? I dont know- 6/10

Here’s another translation for you guys:
Original: “In this first book of the New York Times bestselling Warriors series, a young housecat named Rusty leaves his owners behind and joins ThunderClan, one of four mysterious clans of warrior cats that inhabit the forest. As he becomes a warrior, Rusty begins to uncover secrets . . . secrets other cats would do anthing to keep hidden.”
Translation: “This book is tolerable in New Virginia glasses, the rusty kitten is kidnapped and goes to the storm. This doesn’t mean Bitcoin in the trees. After being knighted, Rust begins to dig up treasure . . . Google recommends death.”
LOLLLLL I LAUGHED OUT LOUD WHILE READING THIS IT’S SO AWESOMEEEEE
lol :p
This is so funny!
GOOGLE RECOMMENDS DEATH??? XDDDD
LMAO
LOL THIS IS SO FUNNY
ah yes bitcoin
lol!
lol that’s so silly 😛
XD
*bites fist to keep from laughing out loud in front of my parents*
GOOGLE RECOMMENDS DEATH I CAN’T XD XD 🤣
Some say Millie should’ve watched her kits when Honeyfern died, and I kinda have to agree, but I feel like no one thinks twice about guarding camp walls or the gorse tunnel. Have we ever see a patrol guard the camp wall, no, only borders by Riverclan and Shadowclan. Thunderclan never had enough sense to go by the bramble walls and check for anything lurking. They should’ve checked camp walls, but they didn’t, and Honeyfern died as the result.
In my eyes, Millie wasn’t that neglecful. She was by the kits, chatting (Right?) and Briarkit was just playing in a nice clearing. Plenty of kits have played by the camp walls and were fine. Not only that, how did the snake get there? Fell down? Made a hole? Went through gorse tunnel? We will never know. This is my headcanon on why Honeyfern truly died. Because of negligence.
the wall, iirc, was the side of the stone hollow, which is basically all stone. i feel like they would’ve thought it was a waste of time as nobody would launch an attack from the cliff. and the chance of an adder turning up there was pretty much one out of, like, a thousand.
but tbh, Honeyfern’s death and the adder was just for the sake of a plot :c
honeyfern died bc the writers needed a reason for leafpool to keep deathberries in her den 😛 but you make a good point!
Seriously, my girl Cinderpelt is SO underrated! Like she’s been one of the best med cats and a rare one who hasn’t broken the warrior code, and when she realized that she couldn’t be a warrior with her leg she didn’t complain or be a total grump about it until the end of time! (*cough, cough Jayfeather cough cough)
She’s also super levelheaded and GREAT at reassuring others while not being delusional. And her sassy moments are just THE BEST ! “LicK uNleSs yOu wAnt tHesE kIts tO dIe “ she said to a 80 pounds worth of muscle Tigerclaw who could claw her into shreds without a second thought. She liked Fireheart but MATURELY realized she couldn’t be with him and Sandstorm was much better for him, which is something most medicine cats (looking at you Leafpool) can’t realize nor do! Cinder is such a queen, she deserves the world ❤️ (oh and also she learned from the best of the best, Yellowfang, who’s also a qUeeN)
I like Cinderpelt, but she’s not my favorite medicine cat. I prefer cats like Jayfeather and Yellowfang (when she was not dead.)
The main reason she became a medicine cat was because of an injury to her leg. The reasons the book gives us is that she would be slow on patrols and be terrible at hunting. I don’t find this true. Sure, she would be limping a little, but I think that the Clan exaggerates how bad her injury was and that it would be absolutely impossible for her to become a warrior when she should have been fine.
Furthermore, she was reincarnated when so many kits and apprentices died early and deserved to have a second chance more. To name a few, Mapleshade’s triplet of kits, Snowkit, Mosskit, Squirrelflight’s pair of kits alongside Alderheart and Sparkpelt, and Brokenstar’s siblings. Apprentices like Shrewpaw and Swiftpaw. Even Briarlight had a worse case, who instead of having one injured leg like Cinderpelt, pair of paralyzed legs and tail that caused her to drag the bottom half of her body.
Of course, none of this is Cinderpelt’s direct fault. I love her characterization and personality, just not the story surrounding her.
#DeadfootWarrior
His limp is even worse.
cinderpelt is awesome!! :3
CInderpelt is awsome imo!!! :3333
I love Cinderpelt, she’s SUPER mature and absolutely a queen XD i just wish the clan had let her be a warrior, despite her leg injury she could still battle since she’s briefly fought cats before, and with extra training like Brightheart she could have become a great warrior.
true! she’s one of my favourite characters :3
For everyone who thinks the Clan made her injury as if it was terrible and she COULD have been a warrior: I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU!!! The Erins have a weird thing with being kinda ableist and throwing a cat straight into the medicine den whenever they got the smallest injury or disability without even considering what extra training could achieve (save Brightheart). I do think she could have been a warrior with a little training, I’m just saying that in the (unfair) storyline she was mature and regressed to her (changeable) fate of being a medicine cat, which she a bit later learned to enjoy. #JusticeForDisabledCats+Cinderpelt
^^ i read an incredible fic the other day where deadfoot helps cinderpelt recover: https://archiveofourown.org/works/31262474
AHHDUEHDEUYW THIS IS AMAZING
I LOVE Cinderpelt and she is my #1 favorite character and WILL BE FOR ALL OF ETERNITY.
SO TRUEEEE
MUAHAHAHAHAHA CINDERPELT LOVERS ASSEMBLE >:D
So true we love yellowfang and cinderpelt
Now that I think about it, the default icon looks a lot like Cinderpelt
*dramatic gasp* GAAAAAAAAAASP
now that I think about it YOU’RE RIGHT
CINDERPELT SUPREMACY IN EVERY CORNER OF BLOGCLAN MUAHAHAHAHAHHA/lhj
How did you start reading warriors? For me, i randomly found it in the school library in 3th grade and immediately knew that i would love it 😛 i was soo proud because it was in the section of the liberary for older kids and it had 9+ on the back (i was 7 back then). I was like “I’M GOING TO READ A BIG KID BOOK I’M SOO MATURE” 😭
My mom’s friend’s cousin’s daughter (iirc) mentioned that he was really into a new series about cats. I had just reread Harry Potter for the sixth time and wanted a long series to read, with characters that I could read book after book after book about. According to his description of it, it was a long series with a lot of recurring characters. I found exactly what I wanted in Warriors and never stopped reading the books.
I was reading Survivors in 3rd/4th grade (never made it to book 2) when a most of my friends came across SkyClan’s Destiny. In 4th grade was when one of my friends told me the name of the first book, and since then I’ve always been hunting down and devouring every Warriors book I can get my hands on.
The exact same way that you did 😛
i was bored and decided to find smth random to read back in grade 5!! i was previously recommended the Warriors series by a friend so i decided why not give it a try ahaha :”3
I think I found it in 6th grade when I was a Wings of Fire superfan 😛 Then when I found out Tui was an Erin, I transitioned to the Warriors fandom, only to find out Tui was mainly an editor, but still very much enjoyed the books! Also unlike Wings of Fire, Warriors still produces books in the main arc and such so here I am 😀
when i was 13!
I was 8 and a half when I find about warriors (I’m 10 years old now)
My friends kept talking about and I used to make fun of them until I actually started reading the series,then the 2 book got boring also everything just got spoiled to me.
Then shouldn’t you be a kit still, or maybe even an apprentice?
i’ve probably known warriors for about four years :3 my dad got me the first series months before i read the books :p I hadn’t thought Warriors would be anything like it was. One day, i thought, “Well, I don’t have anything else to read, so why not give it a try?” Afterwards, i was obsessed with it. 😛
I knew about it when I was around 7 but I started reading it at 11 >:D
My friend always tried to get me to read it but I thought it’d be SOOOO boring, then one day at a bookstore, I saw a pack of three (into the wild, fire and ice and forest of secrets) and thought “why not”
when I was going into the 5th grade I did the barnes and noble reading challenge over the summer and one of the free books you could get was into the wild!! and I randomly remembered seeing some of the “big kids” aka the fourth and fifth graders reading warriors when I was younger so I decided to get it :DD
ironically enough, I genuinely remember saying to myself as I picked up the book, “maybe this book series will become one of my favorites!”
oh young flamilton, if only you knew😭😭😭
(honestly I feel like I’ve said ironic stuff like this before–a few days before seeing Hamilton I remember writing on the music discussion page on here while talking to someone ‘gosh, I hope I don’t develop an obsession!’ hahahahaha💀😭🫠)
Well, Flam, that didn’t work :PP
I was maybe 7 or 8? I’m 15 now so i’ve been reading these books half my life. I was so proud of myself cause it was in the teens section
I think I found Warriors when I was 8? I found it on another site (it’s for sharing books, kinda like Wattpad) and I found this Warriors fanfiction on one of my online friends’ profiles, and I immediately did research and for my 9th birthday I got a box set of Into the Wild, Fire and Ice, and Forest of Secrets.
Oh yeahhhh that’s actually a cool story actually. I was the quiet girl in class and I really wanted to be friends with this girl. So in 4th grade, when we were all in the library, I saw her looking and picking around the warrior cat shelf which I never really cared about. So I just popped in and picked a random book which was my 1st ever warrior cat book soooo
Bright side: I am now best friends with that girl
Dark side: That random book was Starlight from the new prophecy 😭(boy was I confused)
My 4th grade teacher had a mini library in the classroom, and I saw a book with a highlighter orange kitty cat on it. I borrowed it and took it outside to recess, where somebody accidentally spilled chocolate milk on it. My teacher didn’t want a crusty chocolate milk book, so he let me keep it lol.
I heard about Warriors when I asked some people on Facebook about their favorite feline fiction. At that time, Amazon was giving away the Kindle versions of TPB, so I grabbed it and was immediately hooked. Within a year I had read pretty much all the Warriors books that were in print except a few of the field guides.
In fifth grade, we had the book Midnight in our classroom, so I just started reading there. :3 When I found out that it wasn’t the first book, I got Into the Wild from the library, and was on Dark River by the end of the year.
I just randomly picked it up in 4th grade, and got hooked on it
My best friend was really into the book series and said “Give it a try?” So I picked up the school library Into The Wild…. And the result is me being here on BlogClan 😀
when I was in third (?) grade, I picked up one of the books my sister had left on the couch!! I continued to read whichever ones she had brought home and eventually started getting them out of the library myself 😛
I think it was in between 2nd and 3rd grade, at YMCA. All of TNP was there, but the books kept switching classrooms and I still don’t know what happened to Moonrise. I randomly opened Dawn and was like “WOW COOL” and then I finished it and then I read the other ones and then I got TPB and TNP for Christmas (2023) and now I also have Bluestar’s Prophecy, Crookedstar’s Promise, Firestar’s Quest, Yellowfang’s Secret, and Wind.
I’ve been obsessed with dogs since I was really little, so one day in the library my mom found Survivors and I borrowed it cause I loved dogs. And then we found Warriors cause it had the same author. I started reading that instead since there was only one translated Survivors book lol
Well my friend had been reading it sense she was maybe 6 or 7, and she would CONSTANTALY talk about, so i decided to try it. but i HATED it (Probably because i was only 8 lol). Fast forward to when i was in 5th grade, and i tried it again and i loved it!
in 2nd-3rd grade my friend got really into it and lended me the first book :3
I was looking for a new series around Christmas, and my sister got me into the wild. I got the rest from the library and the rest is history.
One cold night, it was my 11th birthday, and my dad got me the 1st series
then it kinda carried on
I found it in late 3rd grade at a public library and just zoomed through the books. I stopped reading it though because the book organization was getting messy and I forgot where I was, but I recently picked them back up from where I left off.
My friends were reading it, so they were “TRY IT” they read even at school, and I was talking to them and they were “Oh, sorry, it is so interesting! Do you wanna try it?” ToT

Favorite headcanon?
Aroace Hollyleaf :b
Agreed
hmmmmmmmmmmmm trans Rootspring maybe
NeedlepawxAlderpaw!!! I know they are warriors now, but i feel like they liked eachother more as apps
I believe that Bright Stream would have died anyway. If she survived, her young body cannot cope with childbirth and the kits are stillborn. She dies from blood loss, which is a much more painful death than being knocked unconscious from being carried high up in the air (or it was suffocation from the eagles claws) Regardless, she was gonna get killed of and so were her kits. Poor Bright Stream ❤️
asexual demiromantic biromantic hollyleaf :3
My personal headcanon is that starclan control lightning.
Short Crowfeather
HmM
Leafpool as Bisexual and Mothwing as Lesbian
AlderxNeedle
Ever notice that the two biggest similarities between Moth Flight and Firestar are liking fish and having visions? Firestar even ate fish in a vision.
I don’t remember that—what book was that in?
I dont remember firestar ever liking fish, but cool!
Favorite non-prophecy lines, everyone? My name is Echo. I dream of cats with stars in their fur.
“Oh, and Mistyfoot? Never trust the shadows. My warriors wear the night like second pelts. If you wrong ShadowClan, you will never be safe in the dark.
“Kill me. Kill me, and live with the memory. Then tell the stars that you won.”
OR
Tree: “Stemleaf and Spotfur invited us to a meeting.”
Rootspring: “They invited me. Tree invited himself.”
I was going to put something different but now my new favorite line is “tree invited himself.” 😭
ikr it’s so slay T-T
Anything Jayfeather says 😛
AHUAM
‘I may be a shadow, but shadows never die’
‘Destiny isn’t the path that any cat follows blindly. There are always choices, and sometimes the heart speaks the loudest’
Anything Jayfeather says, normally, but my new favorite one is *spoilers for Star*
“I like you because you’re warm and funny. Fernstripe likes Shellfur because he smells like leaves.”
Mothflight sucks!!!
Change my mind!
She is a feather-chasing featherbrain who is constantly being whiny and “YOU BROKE MY RULE!!!” Your RULE is useless! (This is my opinion only, tis fine if you disagree :))
Fun fact, medicine cats have littermates and parents and other family! Are you like, saying that medicine cats can’t have family? They already do!
Just because you were unlucky enough to end up with multiple near-death experiences DOES NOT MEAN that all medicine cats will. It’s called, GIVING YOUR KITS TO ANOTHER QUEEN, Moth Flight!!! If there aren’t any queens, then seriously, WAIT A LITTLE BIT before having your kits.
Also, we are talking about a cat who became the medicine cat simply because she was distracted enough to chase a feather. Wow. StarClan, why didn’t you pick a more responsible cat?
Also, if she does have ADHD, all that kind of is thrown out the window when she meets Micah. So that’s not an adequate excuse.
Moth Flight, your problems are your problems, not the problems of every other medicine cat ever!
Alright, I’m done ranting. Bye!
Agreed!!
I haven’t read Moth Flight’s vision, so I can’t really give an adequate opinion on her when she was alive.
I have, however, heard how she treats Leafpool in Squirrelflight’s Hope, and I am not impressed. Whether or not her decision to make medicine cats having kits illegal was reasonable or not, what was certainly not reasonable was suggesting the sisters go to the Dark Forest for breaking the code. I honestly could go on about how unfair this proclamation was all day but there are only two things you need to know.
1. Leafpool is nowhere close to deserving the Dark Forest as over cats who made it to StarClan, like Ashfur and Skystar.
2. StarClan told Leafpool and Squirrelflight to lie about the kits! Spottedleaf even said to Leafpool “Follow your heart.” They should not be punished for following the will of StarClan.
So yeah Moth Flight (and by extension, StarClan) kind of sucks when she’s dead. But I have no idea what she does when she’s alive, other than naming StarClan and contributing to the medicine cat code.
I disagree. I think that the medicine code is there for a good reason.
I don’t like her actions in Squirrelflight’s Hope, where she acted as if a cat who broke her rule is irredeemable in every way. She should’ve accepted that sometimes a cat will choose love over rules, and that that doesn’t make them a bad cat.
However, I believe that the medicine code protects situations like hers from repeating themselves adequately and justly.
Medicine cats do have parents and other family, but, especially in the Warriors world, parents and siblings are not a huge responsibility for the medicine cat- unlike a mate and kits would be. A medicine cat would be expected, as a mate, to spend a lot of time with their mate and give them a lot of attention. Due to having a vastly busier and stressful job compared to warriors, this would already make the medicine cat’s life much more complicated than would be for the best.
Kits make this infinitely worse. Even one kit requires a medicine cat to give them (for the first six moons of their life, at the very least) constant attention and care, especially if the medicine cat is a she-cat. With their highly busy job, medicine cats simply don’t have the time to do this.
One might wonder why the medicine cats couldn’t just let a permaqueen, like Daisy, or another queen in the nursery take care of their kits. What right does a medicine cat have to have kits and essentially give them away?
A situation like this happened in Squirrelflight’s Hope, and it shows why kits can’t just be given away. After the deaths of Larksong and Flickerkit, Sparkpelt became somewhat inconsolable, causing Daisy and Sorrelstripe to have to raise her remaining kits, Nightheart and Finchlight, for the first moon or so while Sparkpelt tired to recover mentally. This distanced Sparkpelt and Nightheart considerably, resulting in the unhealthy and emotionally disconnected dynamic shown between them in A Starless Clan. With medicine cats, this would be much worse, as they would hardly be able to spend time with their kits at all.
Also, attempts to try to make the medicine cat less busy to accommodate for kits could easily fall through. If there is another medicine cat to take control of healing in the Clan, the medicine cat with kits would have to abandon their duty as a parent and resume working hard and busily at their job. And regardless, Moth Flight’s situation showed that this probably wouldn’t work anyway.
Moth Flight’s predicament isn’t an extremely rare outlier for medicine cats- it’s a very repeatable situation that she was right to attempt to stop from happening. Moth Flight couldn’t handle her kits because there was no father to help them and because there were four of them that all needed her help and her help only, as their mother. This is a situation that could happen again easily if medicine cats were allowed to have kits. Let’s say the kits’ father dies, and the litter was large. With just these two factors, Moth Flight’s situation is replicated. Moth Flight even had Reed Tail to help her, and she still couldn’t handle raising her litter. This isn’t a fault of her own. A circumstance like this would overpressure anyone.
Ultimately, if medicine cats were allowed to have kits, if anything went wrong in the Clan, the medicine cat would have to choose between their job and their family, which is a choice no cat should have to make- hence why Moth Flight made sure they wouldn’t. It might seem cruel to outlaw a medicine cat from making a family of their own, but I believe that in the long run, it saves them from even worse heartbreak.
Seconded a hundrend times Love Mothy!
translating blogclanners names!

Oh no, where did the crow go! 😛😭 lol
Wait Ravvie’s name actually makes sense-
Heyy I can’t drive I’m 13 T-T
Also THE WALL T-T
Google translate has designated you BlogClan chauffeur 🚗🚙🚗 (😛)
Erm guys? I think I no-clipped into the backrooms…
HELPPPP THIS MADE ME LAUGH SO HARD
WOMEN
Lol
lol jacki r u driving to go see leonardo de caprio /j
oh yes leonardo mah boi
“the wall”
well that is one of my nicknames koi gave me, so you have summoned me :ppp
Can you guys please give me your opinions on Maple shade?My personal opinions on mapleshade are that shes crazy (no doubt) but has an understandable reasoning to why she killed all those cats,I don’t really know why she went to crooked paw/kit but the other cats have reasoning.
I think that Mapleshade’s actions were absolutely unjustifiable. She had no right to murder either of the three cats. None deserved to be murdered, and I think that Mapleshade is a terrible cat for killing them.
Ravenwing was just doing his job. Frecklewish couldn’t have saved the kits from the river. Appledusk, while flawed, ultimately chose Reedshine over Mapleshade, and die protecting her.
Ultimately, I think that Mapleshade is completely in the wrong, and shouldn’t have done anything she did following her exile from ThunderClan.
I second all this. Mapleshade is a horrible cat.
I’ll never understand why her thought process was “seemed like some cats wronged me, time to kill them all!”
Seconded
I second Mallow. Nobody deserves to die, even Mapleshade’s victims. And Mapleshade certainly deserves the Dark Forest. Not sure about Frecklewish being there though.
Also, she went to Crookedkit just because he was Appledusk’s great grand-son. Even though the former did nothing wrong, just because he was related to Mapleshade’s ex-mate was that she enacted her revenge on him, which is completely unreasonable. But as I said earlier, it’s not any less reasonable than Mapleshade’s murdering when she was alive.
i wrote a whole article on my opinion lol
I mean she was driven MAD.Put yourself in her shoes,how would you feel if your kids drowned while you watched them trying to save them and the only person you love has betrayed you for another mate which he cheated with you on.I feel terrible for her.She thought it was right because she was hallucinating about her kits.I know she wanted to be in the dark forest but shes just a mother who wants to avenge her kits.(no hate to anyone’s opinion)
Im a proud Maple defender/lover
Im not gonna rant bc i already did it in an upcoming article i made
