Top 10 Best Warrior Cat Characters (Books by Erin Hunter)

The Warriors books by Erin Hunter do not exactly go easy on their cats. One moon you are cheering for a brave apprentice, the next you are emotionally wrecked over prophecies, forbidden loyalties, Clan rivalries, and yet another trip to StarClan. The series gives you heroes, troublemakers, medicine cats, leaders, loners, and cats who make terrible decisions with absolute confidence.

This list is your place to vote for the cats you think deserve the most praise. Maybe you back the ones who stayed loyal through every battle, the cats who grew from awkward apprentices into legends, or the grumpy fan favorites who somehow became impossible not to love. Add your vote, defend your favorite in the comments, and see how your picks compare with the rest of the Clan.

The Top Ten

Firestar

Firestar is a central character in the Warrior Cats series. He rises to become the leader of ThunderClan after Bluestar. Firestar is mates with Sandstorm and has two kits named Squirrelflight and Leafpool.
Originally, Firestar was a kittypet named Rusty before joining the clan. He dies from fatal... read more

Firestar is just plain awesome! He is my number one favorite cat.
First, he shows so much compassion for everyone, even those from different clans. Second, he is nice, loyal, and cool. He is just so awesome. I also love that he is so humble about everything. People who boast about everything and are rude, even if they have good qualities, really annoy me.
Firestar means so much to me and he is awesome. People who say he is going to die make me really upset. Stop saying he is going to die. Firestar is the most popular character. I do not think Erin Hunter will kill off Firestar. He could retire and become an elder.
Just wanted to say, Firestar, you are awesome. I love you!
Bluestar

Bluestar is a character in the Warrior Cats book series and served as a leader of ThunderClan. She broke the warrior code by becoming mates with Oakheart of RiverClan and giving birth to three kits: Stonefur, Mistyfoot, and Mosskit. Stonefur and Mistyfoot remained in RiverClan, while Mosskit tragically... read more

Bluestar was amazing. She really dedicated herself to her Clan and worked hard to become leader. She realized that Thistleclaw wouldn't be a good Clan leader, which led to the death of Mosskit. I understand she was trying to do what was best for her Clan, and I appreciate that she was willing to take the risk of bringing her kits through a blizzard to RiverClan.
I know she went a little bit crazy at the end of her life, but who can blame her? Her father never liked her much. She had watched her sister get hit by a car and then had to break the news to her son. She heard about Oakheart's death and had to pretend she didn't care. She gave her kits away and watched her daughter freeze to death. I don't care what other people say, Bluestar is a flawed yet wonderful character.
Graystripe

Graystripe is a cat in the Warrior Cats series. He is named after the gray stripe that runs down his back. In the second book, he falls in love with a cat named Silverstream. He is also friends with his childhood companion Firestar. Later, he becomes mates with Millie, and they have three kits: Blossomfall... read more

Graystripe is an amazing and outstanding warrior. I love him, and I am a HUGE fan. I have all the books except for the ones that came out this year, and by far, he has been the best and the funniest. I love him so much. He's my favorite, and I love to draw pictures of him.
The only thing I didn't like was when he became an elder. That was sad. Also, in the first book of the first series, Into the Wild, towards the end when he and Firepaw were fighting ShadowClan, Graystripe found the kits yelling, The kits! When the patrol got back home, Whitestorm gave credit to Firepaw. But Graystripe is great, and I am so glad that he lived through every series. I love him! Graystripe!
Jaypaw

I think Jayfeather is the most interesting Warrior Cat character. When I first started reading about him, his personality was new and interesting! I love how sarcastic and grumpy he is. His power is also very intriguing, and his sarcastic lines are hilarious. Honestly, he is kind of a jerk sometimes, but that makes him even more fun to read about!
I love how he does show his soft side sometimes too, with Briarlight and with Half Moon. I also thought it was very sweet how sad he was when Leafpool died. I also love his dedication to the Clans despite his bad temper.
I love how he doesn't care about what other cats think and stays strong despite being greatly depended on because of the prophecy, being accused of murder, having the truth spilled out, and much more. He is definitely my favorite out of the three.
Brambleclaw

Bramblestar is a dark brown tabby tom with amber eyes. Before becoming leader of ThunderClan, he was known as Brambleclaw. He is the son of Tigerstar and Goldenflower, and the brother of Tawnypelt.
He also has a half-brother named Hawkfrost and a half-sister named Mothwing.

Great character, until Bramblestar's Storm was released! In that series, all Bramblestar does is try to emulate Firestar by being too 'nice' to everyone. When WindClan cats growl at him to get off the border, he just says sorry, and they leave immediately! This is not the cat that was portrayed in the first four series by Erin Hunter.
Bramblestar's Storm had too many problems and was my least favorite in the special edition series. I've only read Firestar's Quest, so there might be worse ones. I really enjoyed Firestar's Quest, so read that one. Honestly, you really don't have to read Bramblestar's Storm if you don't want to.

I like him because, even though he is the son of Tigerclaw, he is a brave and loyal cat, unlike his father. He also becomes deputy. I think he belongs with Squirrelflight, and I'm glad she chose him over Ashfur. I don't like Ashfur, and I'm not sure why.
I also like the fact that he killed his brother, and most cats didn't trust him, so he wasn't fully accepted into the clan. I appreciate that when Fireheart was deputy, he kept seeing Brambleclaw and sensed darkness in him, even though there wasn't any. He is my favorite cat!
Cinderpelt

Cinderpelt is a Medicine Cat from the Warriors book series by Erin Hunter. She is described as a small, fluffy, sleek, and soft-furred she-cat with a smoky dark gray coat and wide blue eyes. Originally, she trained as a Warrior apprentice but was redirected to the path of a Medicine Cat after a monster... read more

Cinderpelt is a great character. She wanted to be a warrior so much, but she was run over by a monster. Then she went to the medicine cat's den to be apprenticed as a medicine cat by Yellowfang, who became like a mother to her. She was traumatized by Silverstream's death. Then, when Yellowfang dies, she experiences another trauma. She was very, very sad.
She mentored Leafpool, and they grew very close. However, she died during the badger attack, saving Sorreltail's kits. She was reborn as Cinderheart, but later her spirit rose to StarClan, allowing Cinderheart to follow her own path.
Oh my God, I love Cinderpelt! I think she didn't deserve to die.

Cinderpelt is my favourite character in any book. Her story is both heartbreaking and inspiring, and she is the only character in any book, movie, or TV series that made me cry.
She had to give up her dream of becoming a warrior, yet she still manages to be happy and continue on a different path. When she fails, she gets up and tries again and uses the past to learn from her mistakes and failures, rather than dwell on them or try to forget them.
The fact that she was still able to help the Clan after she injured her leg was amazing. She tried her best to help others and was happy even though it wasn't her original destiny.
She also is kind when trying to save others. Even when Yellowfang told her not to, she still saved ShadowClan and inspired Littlecloud to become a medicine cat. She knew they were dangerous and a threat to her own Clan, but she did what she thought was right. She saves cats from all Clans, no matter the issue, because they still need help.
She accepted destiny and sacrificed herself for Sorreltail and her newborn kits. Because of that, Sorreltail named Cinderkit (Cinderheart) after her, and she got to live again with her original dreams, goals, and destiny.
Cinderpelt is a wonderful cat with a beautiful story. She is my favorite cat for many reasons. Therefore, Cinderpelt is my favourite character.
Yellowfang

Yellowfang was a medicine cat originally from ShadowClan in the Warriors series by Erin Hunter. After being exiled by her son, Brokenstar, she was discovered by Firepaw, who later became Firestar, and taken into ThunderClan. There, she became a respected medicine cat and mentor.... read more

She is by far my favorite medicine cat of all time. She went through so much: not being able to stay a warrior, not being allowed to take Raggedstar as a mate (even though he was kind of a jerk), and having to give up her own kit. Then she had to watch her own kit grow up without a mother, and sad.
She also had to deal with Brokentail killing Raggedstar (I never understood how) and many innocent lives, including kits. Then she was kicked out and betrayed by her clan and left to die. To top it all off, she had to kill her own son in the end to stop his murderous ways. She is not only my favorite medicine cat, but my favorite cat of all.

Yellowfang had such a depressing backstory. She went through so much: not being able to remain a warrior, not being allowed to take Raggedstar as a mate (even though he was kind of a jerk), and having to give up her own kit. She then had to watch her kit grow up without a mother.
Sadly, she also had to deal with Brokentail killing Raggedstar (I never understood how) and taking many innocent lives, including those of kits. She was then kicked out and betrayed by her clan, left to die. To top it all off, she had to kill her own son in the end to stop his murderous ways. Despite all this, she did the right thing. So, I'm proud of her.
Spottedleaf was one of my favorites in the beginning and remains so at the end.
Squirrelflight

Squirrelflight is a dark ginger she-cat with forest-green eyes. She has one white paw, short legs, a torn ear tip, glossy fur, and a long, squirrel-like bushy tail. She also has a scar running from her chest to the top of her hind leg along her right flank.... read more

She is just the best. She's a lot like me, and what I like about her most is how she is not afraid to break the rules and stand up for herself. She was also funny as an apprentice. Another thing is her connection with Leafpool. Sisters are the best, and I wish I could have that power.

She's just the best. She always tries to protect her Clan, even if she disobeys the code. Squirrelflight just screams 'BOSS' because she has her own ways of doing things while still protecting those in need and saving her Clan.
Squirrelflight also has feelings for every cat. For example, when she showed Leafstar the territory beyond the lake in Squirrelflight's Hope, she knew she could get in trouble, but she kept going just for peace. And when she followed Brambleclaw in Midnight, she was protecting the Clan by seeing if he was breaking the code. In the end, she became a hero, making her one of the best Warriors characters!
Hollyleaf

Hollyleaf was a rare and fiercely loyal warrior of ThunderClan. Her birth violated the warrior code, which caused her deep internal conflict.
She killed Ashfur out of fear that he would reveal the truth about her parentage. Afterward, she lived in the tunnels for a period of time before ultimately... read more

Deep breath. Hollyleaf used to be my second favorite because Cinderpelt was my favorite, but I moved Cinderpelt down to third place. Anyway, I like Hollyleaf because she knew what to believe in. When she set her heart on something, that thing would be accomplished.
When she was in the forest fire with Ashfur, Squirrelflight, Lionblaze, and Jayfeather, and she found out that Squirrelflight and Brambleclaw weren't her parents, she made sure the secret didn't get out through Ashfur. I'm not complaining. From her point of view, that was the smartest thing to do.
And she didn't flee right away. She traveled to the sun-drown-place with Brambleclaw, Birchfall, Hazeltail, Lionblaze, and Brackenfur. Then, she fled. After at least a year, Hollyleaf saved Dovewing and Ivypool from getting crushed. She saved Ivypool a second time in the book after, by dying. Her death wasn't sad to me. In fact, I was happy when she died because she set her heart on protecting her clan, and that is what she died for.
Whitestorm

Whitestorm is a fictional character in the Warriors novel series by Erin Hunter. He is a long-haired, sturdy white tom with green eyes, known for his loyalty, wisdom, and calm demeanor.
A senior warrior of ThunderClan, Whitestorm mentored many young apprentices and was respected for his courage... read more

I feel bad that Firestar's first deputy, Whitestorm, died in the battle against Scourge. Mate of Willowpelt and father of Sorreltail, Rainwhisker, and Sootfur, Whitestorm is a courageous cat.

In memory of Whitestorm:
Loyal cats trust,
Kind cats give,
Loving cats care,
Brave cats fight,
Wise cats teach,
Merciful cats forgive.
Whitestorm trusted his Clanmates. He gave his life for them. He cared about his family. He fought for what he believed in. He taught the younger cats important lessons. And in StarClan, his final resting place, he has forgiven those who have done him wrong. All I have left to say is thank you, Whitestorm, for trusting, giving, caring, fighting, teaching, and forgiving. We love you and miss you. When you died, a part of us died too. You will never be forgotten. You live on in all our hearts.
Thank you for inspiring us to trust others, to give to others, to care for others, to fight with others, to teach others, and most of all, to forgive others. As long as these lessons remain, we will never have to say a final goodbye.

The Newcomers

?
Bristlefrost

She shouldn't have died! I loved her. At first, I was annoyed - there are more important things than Stemleaf! But I liked how she struggled to follow the impostor, even though her gut told her something was wrong. (Hollyleaf should learn from her.)
She was such a good deputy. I was heartbroken when she died! She would have made an amazing Bristlestar.

I love Bristlefrost! She's such an interesting character - how she was originally supporting possessed Bramble and then eventually joined the rebels. And she is so cute with Rootspring.
?
Shadowsight

OMG, I love Shadowsight! He's the greatest and so relatable. At first, I didn't really like him because, really, the Shadow- prefix? But then I realized I judged too soon, and now he's my second favorite character.

I love Shadowsight! I feel bad about everything that has happened to him. He was born at the wrong time...
I hope he gets a happy ending.

It wasn't his fault that he got manipulated and used by Ashfur. Don't blame him!

The Contenders

Leafpool

Leafpool is a character in the Warrior Cats series. She is the daughter of Firestar and Sandstorm, sister of Squirrelflight, mate of Crowfeather, and mother of Jayfeather, Lionblaze, and Hollyleaf. Leafpool serves as a medicine cat and plays a key role in many of the series' storylines.

My Opinion: Leafpool lived one of the most tragic lives. She was a great medicine cat - sweet, kind, quiet, caring, and loyal. She regretted falling in love with Crowfeather. It was her biggest mistake, one she couldn't change. Her heart was always in the right place when she gave up her kits, like Bluestar. She was judged harshly, but she never deserved it.
Description: Small, lithe, pale brown tabby she-cat with amber eyes, and white paws and chest.
I agree with Leafpool's wise words: Destiny isn't any path a cat follows blindly. It is always a matter of choice, and sometimes the heart speaks loudest. Deep down, I always knew what I had to do, and that's why I came back to the Clan. Whatever happens, I trust you know the right thing to do as well. Listen to your heart, Lionblaze, because that's where your true destiny lies. -Leafpool to Lionblaze in Sign of the Moon, page 108.
She always wanted the best. May her memory not be in vain. She deserves more than this.
Sandstorm

Sandstorm was a really interesting cat that played a really cool role in Warriors! At first, she was kind of annoying, but I started to like Sandstorm a lot more.

Sandstorm is such a Squirrelflight-type cat. Her character development is awesome because loyalty finally brushed over her, and she was willing to be with Fireheart, especially when the rest of the Clan suspected her to be with Dustpelt. She's a loyal and fierce warrior who will do anything for her Clan, and she has instilled a sense of loyalty and justice in her family.
She also has a good sense of humor and doesn't take things too seriously, making her both a good mother and a loyal warrior. She remained kind to Dustpelt, establishing her as a good friend and an overall stellar character.
Silverstream

Silverstream is a character created by Erin Hunter for the book series Warrior Cats. She is a sleek, soft-furred, slender silver-and-black tabby she-cat with a finely shaped head and bright blue eyes. She is the daughter of Crookedstar and Willowbreeze, the former mate of Graystripe, and mother of Feathertail... read more

I vote for Silverstream, although she is not the main character.
Most likely, I am in deep love with Graystripe. He looks nice, has a beautiful mate, intelligent kits, and is a loyal friend. If only Silverstream had not died. If only Feathertail and Stormfur had not met the Tribe of Rushing Water and caused a bad death for Silverstream's beloved Feathertail, I would not cry for a day.
I love Silverstream more than that idiotic, annoying, overprotective, and selfish Millie. Millie has a daughter who is innocent and very protected, even kept away from Bramblestar. Millie is my most hated character. In Bramblestar's Storm, I even saw her say, I won't forgive you if my daughter dies. I hate her.
I do not know how Graystripe fell in love with that she-cat. I think this storyline is not very well developed.
In conclusion, Silverstream is always my favorite Warrior Cat.
Dovewing

Dovewing is a character in the Warriors series by Erin Hunter. She has pale gray fur and is described as having green, sky-blue, or pale gold eyes. Her first appearance is in the fourth arc, known as Omen of the Stars, in the book The Fourth Apprentice.... read more

Dovewing is probably one of the most misunderstood characters. Many people say she's a Mary Sue but proceed to list her flaws? I thought Mary Sues had no flaws other than being too perfect. Sure, she was angry and annoyed about having her powers, but we would all feel the same if we were in her place. From her birth, she was placed under so much pressure to save the clans when she just wanted to be a normal warrior. She also saved the clans from the drought and, against many people's opinion, may have made the clans leave the lake. She also fought hard against the Dark Forest.
Another reason people seem to hate Dovewing is that they love Ivypool. I know you might like one of them better, but please don't hate on one sister to boost the other's reputation. That goes for both Dovewing fans and Ivypool fans. Thank you!
Spottedleaf

Spottedleaf was a medicine cat under Bluestar's leadership in the forest territories. She was born as Spottedkit to Adderfang and Swiftbreeze along with her littermates, Redkit and Willowkit. Initially, Spottedpaw was apprenticed to Thrushpelt but decided to become a medicine cat with Featherwhisker... read more

Spottedleaf was just amazing. She was always there for Firestar and his kin. Firestar was the main character and went through many difficult times, but she was always there for him. Always, no matter the hardships, losses, battles, or anything, really.
I don't see how people view such a caring cat as bad, truly. But with Spottedleaf and Firestar, she knew it couldn't have worked. She stuck to the Warrior Code and was such a deserving member of StarClan.

Spottedleaf was a kind warrior who gave up being a warrior after moons of training. She relinquished this passion to become a medicine cat. She helped those who never deserved to be helped and later died in a ShadowClan war. However, that did not stop her. She warned Fireheart of many dangers to come, and her pure heart helped others. I think she needs to be higher on this list for what she has done to help her Clan.
Ivypool

Ivypool is a fictional silver-and-white tabby she-cat in Erin Hunter's Warrior Cats book series. She is the sister of Dovewing and the daughter of Whitewing and Birchfall. Ivypool becomes a spy in the Dark Forest and later returns to ThunderClan, eventually serving as deputy under Squirrelstar. Her mate... read more

Ivypool stands out as one of the best characters in the Warriors series because of her complex development, fierce loyalty, and immense bravery. Unlike many others, she walks a dangerous double path, secretly spying on the Dark Forest to protect her Clan while carrying the heavy burden of deception and fear.
Her journey from jealousy and insecurity to strength and selflessness makes her deeply relatable and inspiring. Ivypool's courage to resist manipulation and her pivotal role in the battle between good and evil highlight her as a truly multidimensional and heroic figure in the Warriors universe.
Ravenpaw

Ravenpaw is a fictional character created by Erin Hunter for the Warrior Cats book series. He is a skinny, jet-black tom with a small white dash on his chest, green eyes, and a long, thin, white-tipped tail. He is shy, jumpy, and nervous.... read more

He is so cool! They do get his eye color mixed up a lot though. I love Ravenpaw's Path. It is absolutely AMAZING! If he were a warrior, I think his name would have been Ravenfrost or Ravenflight, definitely NOT Ravenwing (you know what I mean if you have read Mapleshade's Vengeance). I find Ravenpaw's Farewell so sad. I love the Ravenpaw and Barley ship. Ravenpaw is just super kind and friendly.
I like the friendship triangle of Fire, Gray, and Raven! Fun fact: Holly, Jay, and Lion have the same color of pelt as them. Lion is ginger (ginger, golden, same thing), Holly is black, and Jay is gray.
Mother: Robinwing
Father: Fuzzypelt
Sisters: Brindleface, Frostfur
Brother: Dustpelt
I know I'm not really saying anything interesting but still wanted to share. I could continue talking, but I won't, so there's that.
Crookedstar

Crookedstar is a huge, light brown tabby tom with green eyes and a twisted jaw.
He served as the RiverClan leader in the forest territories. Born Stormkit to Rainflower and Shellheart, he had a brother named Oakheart. After suffering a broken jaw in an accident, he was renamed Crookedkit at Rainflower's... read more

Okay, since Jayfeather is already at the top, I'll just vote for Crookedstar since he needs more love. I love the two of them equally, but this is about Crookedstar.
I'll admit, when I first saw Crookedstar's Promise in the library, I didn't expect anything in particular. I thought I would still prefer the other special editions, especially since Crookedstar wasn't that prominent in the first arc, particularly when compared to other leaders like Tallstar, Bluestar, and Brokenstar. Man, was I wrong.
I understand that Rainflower was in "grief" or whatever, but I don't think I'll ever like her because of how she treated Crookedstar. The poor guy's been through a lot, thanks to Mapleshade. I can't really blame her, but I still dislike how she ruined his life. I ended up crying more while reading his book than I did reading Bluestar's Prophecy. Every time I read the more emotional chapters, I still cry.
He goes through amazing character development, and I cheered for him the entire time. Although I did disagree with the fact that he neglected Silverstream as a kit for a while, who could blame him? I'm still a bit annoyed that Oakheart told him he was being like Rainflower. I like Oakheart, but come on, almost all of your brother's kits and his mate just died. I mean, it did snap him out of it, but still.
He only got one book to himself, yet he really affected me. It's bad enough that I honestly find other characters paling in comparison. Crookedstar deserves all the happiness in the world!
Lionblaze

Lionblaze is a character in the Warrior Cats series. He is part of The Three, along with Jayfeather and Dovewing, and possesses the power of being undefeated in battle. However, he loses this power after the Clans are saved from the Dark Forest.... read more

Why is Lionblaze all the way down here?
Okay, I love Lionblaze. He's afraid of his own power, and I love his thoughts and character development, especially when he has dreams of being a murderer. But he's not a murderer. He's an amazing and brave cat.
Many people say that Lionblaze is a Gary Sue, but that's not true. He's not completely invincible. He's just protected in battle and can still get hurt. One thing people hate about Lionblaze is that they think he has no personality. That's wrong. He has a LOT of personality, more than Jayfeather, Hollyleaf, and Dovewing. I feel that he expresses his personality better than any other cat in the series!
Lionblaze is an amazing character and one of my favorite book characters.
Lionheart

Lionheart is my favorite Warrior Cat! I love him! There should be a super edition about this awesome cat. It was so sad when he died, and I got so excited every time he was mentioned after his death. My second favorite is Squirrelflight. She is so pretty and well-developed.

Lionheart was the bravest cat and he was the wisest cat in the whole forest. He could have made one of the best leaders in the history of the clans. He taught Firestar his wisdom and could have taught him more. It's so sad when he dies.
Brightheart

Brightheart is a character in the Warriors series by Erin Hunter. She is a white she-cat with ginger patches who suffered serious injuries during a dog attack while she was still an apprentice. Brightheart later became mates with Cloudtail, and they had four kits: Whitewing, Ambermoon, Dewnose, and Snowbush... read more

Brightheart is by far one of the best characters. She dealt with so much. First of all, Bluestar refused to make her a warrior. Ouch. Then her best friend was killed, and half her face was ruined. Then she was renamed Lostface, which is just mean.
She became Brightheart, and she and Cloudtail had a kit together. Then Cloudtail was a jerk and was so protective of Daisy. Then he was good again.
Finally, Brightheart and Cloudtail were kidnapped by Twolegs, and then there was all the journeying to find a new home. Brightheart is inspiring and wonderful.

Brightheart is great because even when she was attacked by the dogs, she still became a warrior, and a pretty good one at that. I was so mad at Bluestar when she was named Lostface! I like Brightheart because she has a story, a history. She even had kits and is one of the very few warriors that is not perfect in terms of health. I think the only other one is Crookedstar. But Crookedstar only had a crooked jaw. Brightheart lost half her face!
Her name describes her well, and she was even in the battle with BloodClan. Go Brightheart!
Feathertail

Feathertail is a fictional character from Erin Hunter's Warrior Cats book series. She is described as a slender silver-tabby she-cat with sky-blue eyes and a plump tail. She is the daughter of Silverstream and Graystripe, the sister of Stormfur, and the first love interest of Crowfeather.... read more

I love Feathertail! She is by far my favorite warrior cat yet! She saved Crowfeather's life, not to mention sacrificing her life for him as well as a whole tribe! She is so sweet and friendly, and it must have been hard for her since she is half RiverClan and half ThunderClan. Her bravery and sweetness were a big help to all of her friends! Love you, Feathertail!

She was the only one of the traveling group to care for Crowpaw and see his better side. She was so brave to save the tribe. She did not even know the tribe cats that well, but she still sacrificed her life for them. I did honestly cry. I support Crow x Feather. They should have been together.
Mapleshade

Mapleshade is a character in the Warriors series by Erin Hunter. She is a large, tortoiseshell-and-white she-cat with a scarred white muzzle and white patches throughout her pelt. Her fur is thick, especially around her neck like a mane, and her pelt is ragged and scarred. She has a broad muzzle and... read more

Mapleshade deserves more than what she got! Most people don't like evil cats, but Mapleshade isn't evil just because she killed her mate. He pushed her aside like a piece of dead prey and looked for a new cat to love. Her mate is the one who is truly evil! Mapleshade should be in StarClan - I understand her plight.
Imagine if you were kicked out of your clan, rejected by your mate, and had your kits die. Furthermore, imagine a cat watching your kits die in the river without trying to help! Her mate got off scot-free. He wasn't even kicked out of his clan, and he took a different mate! He should be in the Dark Forest!
Mapleshade is the Queen of Warriors! Her mate is the king of the worst cats in the world! After Mapleshade, Thistleclaw is next on my list. Yes, I like Dark Forest cats the best!
Swiftrobin the Warrior Cat
Cloudtail

Cloudtail was always one of my favorite cats. When he was a kit, he had so much trouble getting accepted. Though, he was determined. Even though, as an apprentice, he kept constantly visiting Princess and taking food from Twolegs, I believe this was because of stress and uncertainty about being accepted.
Cloudtail always reassured Brightheart after her incident with the dog pack. Even though Brightheart had doubts about her beauty, Cloudtail reassured her by saying she was beautiful. I thought Cloudtail was very loyal even though he didn't make the best choices. And he is caring for Brightheart, his mate.

Cloudtail will always be remembered as a warrior of sheer pride, bravery, responsibility, and love. Love for all cats, as well as adoring a she-cat everyone believed was hopeless and horrifying while he gave her the respect for her heart to brighten. He may not believe in StarClan, but he will always be loyal to his Clan no matter what the consequences are.
He reminds me of my brother. No matter what others think of him, he will always stay pure and great. In Cloudtail's case, it was his kittypet roots, and in my brother's, C.P. No matter what the case, I think Cloudtail is the representative of pride.
Stonefur

Stonefur is a supporting character in the Warriors book series by Erin Hunter. He was born to Bluefur (later Bluestar) and Oakheart and was raised in RiverClan alongside his sister Mistykit. He later became deputy to Leopardstar and was known for his loyalty and strength.

He was so brave. If it were Tigerstar who had to kill Featherpaw and Stormpaw, then he would attack without hesitation. He is brave like Oakheart and warm-hearted like Bluefur. I hate how Leopardstar would just watch a half-clan cat get killed in front of her. He was your deputy, Leopardstar, and I can't ever forgive you for watching him die like that.
It is literally your clan, and you are scared to protect it. You hate half-clan cats. So? It is your clan. Poor Stonefur.
He would've made a better leader than Leopardstar if she had stepped up for him and helped him survive. Oh, what a great and courageous warrior. Poor Mistyfoot for watching her brother die.
