Top 10 Best Warrior Cat Couples

I think this is an amazing ship because Cloudtail loved Brightheart even after the dog attack changed her. It proves that he truly loved her, even though her face got scarred.

Beautiful! I really like Brightheart because she reminds me of myself. I was mauled by a dog when I was younger, and the fact that she persevered through it really helped me when I went through stuff (I was reading that book when it happened).

I like that Cloudtail stuck with her and defended her after what happened. I strongly disagree with his behavior towards Daisy though. He shouldn't have treated her like she was his mate. -Blazewing

This is my favorite relationship in these books. This was true love. Silverstream is my favorite character. I liked how much they worried about each other.

I loved when Silverstream saved Graystripe at the river. I was so sad when Silverstream died. Graystripe and Silverstream didn't deserve that.

I like their kits, Stormfur and Feathertail. I hated when Graystripe loved Millie. I hate Millie. I think Graystripe only loves her because she is so similar to Silverstream. Millie didn't show love for her kits. I hope when Graystripe goes to StarClan, he will choose Silverstream instead of Millie.

Firestar x Sandstorm is, hands down, the best ship in the Warriors series, and anyone who disagrees seriously needs to rethink their priorities. Here's why this pairing is not just awesome but also the epitome of what makes a perfect couple in this series.

First off, let's talk about how Firestar and Sandstorm are just perfect for each other. Their relationship isn't just about fireworks and drama. It's built on a deep foundation of mutual respect, understanding, and genuine love. Firestar is this heroic, often conflicted leader, and Sandstorm is his rock. She's always there to support him, challenge him, and keep him grounded. They complement each other in a way that feels really real and relatable.

Sandstorm's fiery personality balances out Firestar's more serious side, and they manage to bring out the best in each other.

And let's not forget the way their relationship develops. Unlike some other couples where the romance feels rushed or forced, Firestar and Sandstorm's love story is beautifully gradual. They start out as friends, then grow to respect each other as warriors, and finally, their bond deepens into a lasting, committed relationship. Their romance isn't just about physical attraction. It's about growing together through thick and thin.

It's incredibly satisfying to see them evolve from comrades to partners who genuinely care about each other's well-being.

Another key point is how their relationship is tested and strengthened over time. They face numerous challenges, from clan conflicts to personal struggles, and their love manages to endure. They have real, relatable issues - like Firestar's leadership duties and Sandstorm's role in the clan - and yet they navigate these obstacles together. Their ability to support each other through tough times only makes their relationship stronger and more admirable.

Finally, Firestar x Sandstorm stands out because it's a ship that's not just about the couple itself but... more

I love this ship! Crowfeather was obviously never going to end up with Feathertail. Feathertail is a pretty little Mary Sue, and she's annoying with a tearful backstory.

Leafpool and Crowfeather had Jayfeather! It's just cute! Even though Crowfeather acted like he didn't like her after she had kits, I feel like there should've been more of this ship before Leafpool died.

Then there was Breezepelt, who kind of ruined the relationship even before Leafpool died. He showed hate toward her and her kits, and was also just generally annoying, making the gap between them even bigger. Thanks a lot for ruining my third favorite ship! - Laurel

These two are amazing. They both love each other very much. Even when times were tough, they still stayed together. Until the end of time, they will love each other.

You see, this couple is amazing. Why? Well, for one, they didn't go up to each other and say, "Hey! Let's be mates!" like Crowfeather and Leafpool did. Back in the days when Bluestar was around, you actually had crushes. You didn't go to the mojo immediately.

It's a well-developing couple, and will always last throughout the blazing stars in the sky. They trusted each other, loved each other, and thought of each other on their last breath in the real world. This will always be my favorite warrior cats couple, and I'm proud to say that.

I love this ship! It's so cute. I don't get it when people say that "Briarlight and Jayfeather would be a good relationship" because it's completely one-sided. He has no feelings for Briarlight, but Half Moon, on the other hand, does.

He tries to love her and succeeds, and then (I'm pretty sure) Half Moon has kits. Also, he was in the body of Jay's Wing, so I don't see any problem with the age gap. Plus, when he saw her, she was around the age of a young warrior, like what he was when he first met her (or he might've been a 'paw, I forgot).

"I'll wait for you forever, Jay's Wing" breaks my heart every time. If only he hadn't broken the stick, then he could've seen her again. - Laurel

This might be an unpopular opinion, but I absolutely adore Bramble x Squirrel! I don't see it as an abusive or toxic relationship. Bramblestar isn't abusive, and if he was, Squirrelflight would be too. They treat each other the exact same way, so I don't get the logic of people who say he's abusive. But anyway, I love how Firestar's daughter and Tigerstar's son got together. This ship is so much better than Squirrel x Ash! Squirrelflight is a good character who deserves a good mate, and Bramblestar is a good character (at least in my opinion). I just love this ship!

I'm not sure why, but I like how their relationship is unique. Their arguing doesn't seem too bad to me because it feels normal enough. Plus, I just love them together. Both of them deserve a good mate! Plus, StarClan literally said they would end up together! By the end of Sunset, they were basically together, and their relationship was realistic and well-developed, much more than some other ships I could mention but won't. Even though she lied to him in POT, he made her deputy because she was the only cat he could fully trust. I also believe that making her deputy was his way of showing that he forgave her and was ready to rebuild their relationship.

I love the enemies-to-lovers dynamic! It has everything I want out of a relationship, and for Warrior Cats, it's a pretty good ship (although the bar is pretty low).

They spent a lot of time together and grew old with each other by their sides. They were always very kind and patient with each other. They were never mean to each other because they loved each other too much.

Sorreltail is said to be unable to live without Brackenfur, and Brackenfur remarked every day how much he loved Sorreltail, even after she died. True love!

I don't know why, but they go really well together. It may be because they are two of my favorite characters, but overall, it's really good because you can see how their relationship progresses.

Hollyleaf did love Fallen Leaves. She and Fallen Leaves were in a tunnel, stuck there. She managed to get out, but she had to say goodbye to Fallen Leaves.

I have to say... People, don't kill me for saying this, but they need to be ranked higher. They are just the cutest together! This ship is like the best one in the books.

I love that Fallen Leaves told Hollyleaf when she got lost in the tunnels that he said he would never leave her again. So cute!

I really loved this ship when I read Hollyleaf's story. I loved the awkwardness, and when they raced in the tunnels, Hollyleaf got lost and couldn't find him. And when she did, Fallen Leaves nuzzled her and told her he would never leave her again. It's so adorable.

This is a great couple. I'll start with Dustpelt. He is a brown tabby tom, and he had a crush on Sandpaw. I'm glad he found a different love because I like Sandstorm and Firestar together.

Dustpelt must have gone through much pain losing Ferncloud. Ferncloud is a beautiful gray tabby and has some speckles. She has many kits with Dustpelt, and they just look perfect together even if you haven't even heard about them.

Ferncloud has lots of kits and a true love, but her brother Ashfur went raging after Squirrelflight mated with Mr. Bramble and almost killed three cats. They are different, which is kinda funny.

Stormfur and Brook, where small fish swim, are one of the best half-Clan relationships besides Crowfeather and Feathertail. Stormfur was very loyal to Brook. She had Lark That Sings at Dawn and one other kit.

Stormfur went on the quest to find Midnight. On the way back from the sun-drown-place, the six cats crossed over the mountains because the Twolegplace was too far and too hard. Then Stormfur meets Brook and they fall in love. Then he leaves for a long while, comes back, and stays with the tribe.

Then rogue cats attack the tribe, and Stoneteller becomes a jerk to Stormfur, saying that he lost the battle and sends Stormfur away. But Brook comes with him, and they join ThunderClan together. Later, Stoneteller welcomes them back if they help him defeat the rogues.

They win the battle, and Stormfur and Brook probably have some cute little kits chasing pebbles and moss balls around their paws. This is a good ship with a tragic plotline. - Shadow and Thunder Studios

Ok, so honestly, CrowxFeather was a fairly healthy relationship. They spent time getting to know each other, their feelings sprouted beautifully, and they had to go through hard things together during the journey. Their relationship grew and was stronger because of that.

It was a really cute couple, and I wish we could have seen them have kits! LeafxCrow was rushed. There were no big surprises, and the love felt fake and hurried, as if it was an excuse to bring in the Three. By the way, they should have just been born to Bramble and Squirrel. That would have saved their whole ship. CROWxFEATHER!!

It would have been so cute if they had gotten together. It's a shame they wouldn't be able to have kits. No offense to Jayfeather, but I don't think he's cut out to be a father, let alone a good one.

There is a bit of an age gap, but it's nothing like Thornclaw and Blossomfall.

I feel like it should have been those two. I also really like Half Moon and Jayfeather. I sort of wish everyone else knew more about those two, though.

So, I am going to be honest. Jayfeather is one of my favorite characters, so I feel like if he gets a ship, he would be so much happier. I want that so much. I have selected every Jayfeather ship on here, even if that's a bit messed up.

Anyways, I never thought of this ship, but now that I see it, it makes total sense. He is super nice to her and brings her back from the brink of death! It would have been cool if she got a better death though. Maybe she could have been going through the woods for some reason and hears Jayfeather being attacked, so she jumps on the attacker (Breezepelt maybe?), and then is badly wounded, but they drive him off. Then they confess their feelings for each other, and she dies. Big scene.

Jaystick is the best Warriors ship and the second-best ship overall (first is Qinter from Wings of Fire). I just can't see Jayfeather with anyone else but this beautiful she-stick. Not Half Moon, not Briarlight. STICK, just STICK.

Haha, it's funny but true! Jayfeather is totally obsessed by his stick, and the stick keeps getting back to him, which is a cute thing. Sorry, but imagine Jayfeather with Half Moon! Half Moon only waited like one hundred years.

Sticks are the coolest! Jayfeather, you should totally date her! You guys are so romantic! The fineness of Jayfeather, with his handsome grey fur, and the beautifulness of the she-stick, with a fine brown pelt and a sharp pointy end. Even the Dark Forest would gush at this ship, this wonderful romance, and love so strong, nothing can break it apart! Jayfeather and Stickella, I now pronounce you mates. Have wonderful half-cat and half-stick kits together, and may your love life be the best!

Regardless of what anyone says, it was very clear these two were romantically involved. It is also listed on the Warrior Cats Wiki that their romance was never officially stated, but they were listed in the mates category, which was funny.

Jokes aside, these two were another good relationship and one of the rare good ones from the beginning of the series. It was nice seeing that Jake was the only cat able to get through to Tallstar when he was blinded with rage. Another cute detail is that Tallstar never took a mate, as Kate Cary said, "his heart always belonged to his Jake." Which is just cute in general.

These cats are both gay and have good chemistry, which are two of my favorite things in relationships. - Songshadow

Graystripe x Millie is seriously underrated and deserves way more love. People seem to overlook how great this pairing is, and it's definitely better than Graystripe x Silverstream.

First off, Graystripe x Millie is all about real, grounded love. They support each other through thick and thin, facing life's challenges together. Millie's strength and resilience perfectly complement Graystripe's loyalty and commitment. Their relationship grows from genuine friendship into a deep, lasting bond, which makes it feel authentic and well-developed.

Now, Graystripe x Silverstream? It's often romanticized, but let's be real - there's a lot of drama and idealization in that pairing. Silverstream's death casts a long shadow, and while their romance is tragic, it doesn't hold the same depth and practical support that Graystripe x Millie's relationship does. Millie is a steady, grounding presence in Graystripe's life, and their love story isn't just about a dramatic, doomed romance. It's about two cats finding happiness together despite their struggles.

In short, Graystripe x Millie deserves way more appreciation. It's a realistic, supportive relationship that stands in stark contrast to the more idealized and dramatic Graystripe x Silverstream. So let's give Gray x Millie the love and recognition it truly deserves!

They were so cute together. Berrynose is one of my favorite characters. Honeyfern really brought out the best in him. We got to see his sweet side.

She would have been a really good mate for Berrynose, and Berrynose would have been a great mate for her. I wish that snake hadn't bitten her. It was so sad, especially because it happened shortly after they had a sweet moment together.

KILL THE SNAKE!

I cried so much when she died. Honeyfern was my favorite character, and she did not deserve this! She and Berrynose would have had amazing kits. I know many people blame Berrynose for taking Poppyfrost as a mate, but Honeyfern just wanted them to be happy, even if it meant she would lose her mate.

BerryxHoney forever!

A favorite ship. They turn weird after having kits, but before that, and especially in Night Whispers, they are a really sneaky and cute ship.

Let's face it, I just don't like ships. But I don't mind these guys as much as I don't like most of the rest. If you haven't read Tigerheart's Shadow, I strongly recommend it. That book is what made me not mind this ship, and how much I like Dovewing. I have a country song for this ship, Love You Too Late by Cole Swindell. You'll understand when you hear it. This song is also shared by Firestar, about when Graystripe left for RiverClan.
Skyfrost.

Very cute ship. (Spoiler for 7th arc). Rootspring was going to join ThunderClan for Bristlefrost, and then she died. Poor Rootspring was heartbroken and wished the world for Bristlefrost ever since she saved him from drowning in the lake.

(Spoilers for TBC)

These two were one of the very few on-screen forbidden romances that didn't suck. They actually had development throughout the entirety of the arc, and the end of A Light in the Mist just shows us that Warrior Cats is willing to write romances that end in tragedy. It was a gut-wrenching part of the series and is what makes The Broken Code my favorite arc.

People often overlook developed relationships in favor of those that were popular earlier in the series. I see so many people trashing The Broken Code and A Starless Clan because they're new and are written differently. It's not fair that they judge these arcs just because they are different from the previous ones.

Overall, Bristlefrost and Rootspring are two of my favorite cats in the series, and I hope we get to see more of Rootspring and how he's still dealing with Bristlefrost's demise. -Songshadow

I really wish they could've been mates! I mean, I actually stopped reading for a while when Clear Sky became her mate, because it was so sad for Gray Wing!!!

I hate Clear Sky, and I hope Gray Wing and Storm are together in StarClan!

I feel sorry for Grey Wing. He loved Bright Stream, but she loved Clear Sky. He loved Storm, but she loved Clear Sky. It's obvious that he loved Storm, and I wish she could have loved him back.

They had so much to teach each other. Clear Sky also stole Star Flower from his son, which is sad, but Thunder and Violet Dawn still make a cute couple. Things really could have been different for both.

I think it was so sad, and I almost cried when Ravenpaw died. I think they could be a solid ship because in the Ultimate Guide, it says Barley was the closest friend Ravenpaw would know.

If they got a little closer, it could've worked, but Ravenpaw's time came. This is a truly adorable and amazing ship. 9/10, amazing and so heartfelt. - Dawnwhisper of SkyClan.

Ravenpaw has always been one of my favorite characters. Seeing him in a relationship that makes him happy makes me happy! I think I cried at the end of Ravenpaw's Farewell. Finding out Erin Hunter confirmed their romantic relationship made that story even more emotional.

I know this isn't actually a canon ship, and most people don't even think it's a good one, but I love it! She was literally related to Fernsong, and I just see Ivypool with Hawkfrost more. I love Ivypool, and I also like Hawkfrost, so this ship works fine for me. When they first met, I imagine Hawkfrost might've fallen for her without realizing it. Plus, a Dark Forest x Living cat would be kind of a fun relationship.

Imagine if they had kits! Surely they would be much less disappointing than the ones Ivypool and Fernsong had. Plus, they have so much more development than Ivy x Fern did! Ivy x Fern was super rushed, while Ivy x Hawk had scenes and moments together that made me wonder whether Ivypool was in love with Hawkfrost. I just love the idea of a cat that betrayed his Clan and the forest mating with a cat that wanted to serve her Clan as well as she possibly could.

When I was reading their moments in the Dark Forest, I shipped it. Sometimes I wish that Ivypool had sided with the Dark Forest like Breezepelt did so they could become mates - probably like 1% of people in the fandom agree with me, though. Plus, Ivypool seemed so upset when it turned out that Hawkfrost was evil. I mean, that doesn't mean they loved each other, but it seems like decent proof.

I also wish Hawkfrost's spirit had survived so that if Ivypool had died fighting for the Dark Forest, she could have joined him there - not that I want to condemn her to that horrible place. But anyway, I love it!

This was a beautiful relationship. Their love was cute, and I feel bad when Crookedstar lost her and two of his three kits. I love Silverstream (his third kit). A beautiful relationship.

How is this not ranked higher? This is one of the best couples in the book! You can almost feel Crookedstar's agony through the pages after Willowbreeze dies.

This was easily the best couple in any Warriors book. They clearly cared about each other so much, and she was one of the few who saw Crookedstar for who he was, and not his injury. Her death was so sad.

And his reaction exemplifies how much they cared for each other. I actually cried myself to sleep the night I finished this book. That death was so sad. Crookedstar really never had anyone he loved that much ever again. They were clearly meant for each other, but unfortunately, fate had other ideas.

They were so cute, but there's kind of an age gap. Only a little but big at the same time. I'm pretty sure that Mousefur was a newish warrior when Longtail became an apprentice.

Actually, that's okay! This ship is perfectly amazing! Mousetail forever!

Even though they weren't mates, they were a really good couple. Longtail really cared for Mousefur, and after he died, Mousefur was devastated.

Longtail and Mousefur never really had an official "thing," but I feel like they did love each other. They were always sweet to each other, and Mousefur always defended Longtail. After Longtail got blinded by the rabbit, Mousefur always helped him around the camp, and she helped him come out of his depression from being blind.

Although it was never official, I feel like there was some sort of love between these two cats.
