Top 10 Best Warrior Cats

Firestar was a great first protagonist. He was incredibly clever with the way he killed the pack of dogs. He had a loving heart. He sneaked out of camp to say hi to Princess.

He showed respect for cats who didn't even trust him, like Darkstripe, Tigerstar, and at first, Dustpelt and Longtail. He also was very good at speaking up for what he wanted to say or do. For example, when he learned the truth about Redtail's death or Mistystar and Stonefur's parentage, he spoke to Bluestar, even though Bluestar refused to believe it.

Also, the first night when he slept in the leaders' den, he felt lonely, so he spoke up when he needed company from Sandstorm.

If I don't end here, this will go on forever. Those are a few reasons Firestar is my favorite.

I love Bluestar! Most people didn't like her near the end of her life because she lost it. But after a life like hers, it was perfect.

And it happened right after Tigerclaw's betrayal!

Bluestar is a courageous and strong she-cat who is probably better than Firestar! I only resented her when she called Brightheart Lostface, but she made up for it when she saved her clan from the dogs.

Bluestar had to go through a lot! First, her dad did not care about her and walked away after her mother died to find another mate. Her sister died in front of her, hit by a monster. She had kits and gave them up. Her mate, Oakheart, died shortly after that, and she was attacked by Tigerclaw. Her best friend also died. She was put through a lot. I was crying so hard my mom came in thinking I broke my arm or leg.

Yellowfang is not everyone's favorite, though I personally love her for her sass, her sharp-tongued remarks, and, even if it's not to everyone's taste, her short fuse. I can connect with her so much. No, I did not have a forbidden love, but I did have to take care of everything in my "clan." Clans are families, and my family - friends, pets - are my family, so I had to take care of them for much of my life.

Yellowfang is definitely my most FAVORITE cat in the series! It was so frustrating when she died, and it was so sad too! She acted like a mother to Fireheart before she died.

She had been through so much - losing her mate, her kits, and ending up having to kill her remaining kit for her Clan, ThunderClan. By the way, she saved a Clan she wasn't even born in! That takes guts and a heart!

Also, I love Yellowfang because of her temper. It's so hilarious to me! She has always been a grumpy, old cat to Fireheart in the beginning, but who could blame her? She got exiled from her Clan for doing nothing! She got framed by her own kit, Brokenstar!

Anyway, I had to vote for her because she is my all-time favorite cat in the WORLD! I hope people agree with me!

Jayfeather is my #1. He is so much like me in many ways.

I love how he had his sass, but he was also there for other cats and could be loving when he needed to be. I remember reading about him, and actually, The Power of Three and Omen of the Stars were the books I read the fastest because of him, Ivypool, and Hollyleaf.

He was an amazing medicine cat, and he truly tried his best even though he initially wanted to be a warrior. He helped so many cats, both in the past and present. He helped the Ancients get to the mountains, where they became the Tribe, and he helped all the Clans when the Dark Forest struck. He even put claw marks on his stick to remember those who were lost.

I think he was an amazing cat. I actually based a cat on him. Her name is Winter'frost. She is fair, has less of a temper than Jayfeather, but you don't want to get on her bad side!

She is just my favorite! Why?

She is just as good as the true three cats (revealed to be Lionblaze, Jayfeather, and Dovewing). She killed Ashfur to save Squirrelflight and her littermates.

Fallen Leaves, an ancient cat, helped her when her leg was injured in the tunnels and saved Ivypool from Hawkfrost.

Rest in peace, Hollyleaf!

She killed Ashfur to protect the warrior code. She put the warrior code above everything else. It was the loyal thing to do! If she hadn't, Ashfur would have destroyed the clans. He should have gone to the Dark Forest.

Her devotion to the warrior code is good! She revealed the secret because she knew you shouldn't keep secrets or lie. It's not the right thing to do. She ran into the tunnels to escape from life. She has the saddest life in the world.

With Fallen Leaves' encouragement, she went back to ThunderClan where she belonged. She sacrificed her own life for Ivypool in the Great Battle and will be remembered forever.

She shouldn't have died! But she was reborn as Cinderheart, one of Sorreltail's kits. She was going to be a warrior, but that lazy excuse for a cat, Tigerstar, had to come and ruin it all! No offense, Tigerstar fans.

No one can disagree that she was in love with Firestar. She had a horrible and noble death, trying to help Sorreltail as she gave birth to her kits during the badger attack. She was killed by a badger! What worse death could there be than that? Badgers are officially my least favorite animals.

She was amazing and brave and died the noblest of all deaths (besides Firestar). Stupid badgers! Anyone's mouse-brained if they don't think Cinderpelt was the best medicine cat. I love you, Cinderpelt!

Ever since Firestar first met him in the forest, I admired Graystripe's courage to attack him and not give up. He was the friendliest cat to Firestar when he first joined ThunderClan, and the two became the best of friends.

When his first mate, Silverstream, died while giving birth to his kits, it made me so sad. Luckily, he found love again with Millie, who bore him three more wonderful kits.

He is a determined and experienced warrior who had no interest in becoming an elder. He wanted to serve his clan until the end, but he eventually joins the elders with his friend Sandstorm.

I love Squirrelflight! The only thing that bothered me a bit was that she chose the mentally abusive Brambleclaw to be her mate over the caring Ashfur.

But other than that, she was amazing! Despite not being Lionblaze's, Hollyleaf's, and Jayfeather's real mother, she cared for them and loved them like a real mother!

A very loyal and fierce warrior of ThunderClan. She is my favorite warrior cat throughout all the Warriors series books. She made a great decision choosing Bramblestar over Ashfur. Her strong bond with her sister Leafpool was wonderful.

OMG! I was SOOO angry at that stupid Clawface. I can't believe she died.

She was a gentle, kind medicine cat, one of the best. She was LOADS better than Runningnose, who couldn't even cure his own cold! She should be higher up the list, at least 2nd or 3rd, but definitely 1st.

You know what I find weird? That StarClan let Spottedleaf die at the claws of a dumb warrior (no offense), and Blackfoot still managed to steal the kits, meaning her death was for nothing!

Violetshade of ThunderClan

Spottedleaf is my second favorite cat. It was so sad that when we just started the series, she had to die.

Rest in peace in StarClan!

I mean, she saved the clans! (Although she is basically Feathertail 2.0.)

I think that she deserves to be somewhere. Her spirit can't be gone. (Spoiler warning.) I mean, she was talking to Ivypool and Rootspring in their dreams! Her spirit has to be somewhere. I'm sure of it.

Bristlefrost takes after her mom, which is one of the greatest compliments you can give. She definitely deserved to be happy with Rootspring, but I don't want anyone to break the warrior code because it's there for a reason. At the same time, I do want Bristlefrost to be happy. Why is this so complicated?

She spied for the rebellion against the imposter and gave up so much because of it. She was shunned by all of her clanmates for showing loyalty to the tyrant. Even her own littermates hated her. Who knows what the imposter would have done to her if he'd found out? But she kept going, and that takes real strength and courage.

I can relate a lot to Ivypool. She is my girl.

I love how she was jealous of her sister, so she went to the Dark Forest. Of course, she met Hawkfrost, Tigerstar, Brokenstar, and more. But then, when she figured out the truth, she stayed there and stood her ground.

I haven't read Ivypool's Heat yet, but I need to! I feel like without her, the Clans would have been dead because no other cat was brave enough to stand up - or they simply didn't know. She was a major force in the defeat of the Dark Forest. Without her knowledge of the battle and what the Dark Forest was planning, they would have been crow-food.

I need to read Omen of the Stars again, lol. Ivypool is my #1 favorite!

Feathertail should be higher on this list. This amazing cat doesn't deserve hate! People say she was a Mary Sue, but that is incorrect. Feathertail was very sweet, gentle, and beautiful, but she also had a stubborn side and held grudges.

You might say Feathertail was too old for Crowfeather, but Crowfeather was about to become a warrior. If you are going to use this excuse, then literally half the ships in Warriors wouldn't work out. Feathertail was sweet and optimistic, and she tried putting others before herself. She was a great character and shouldn't have died.

Whitestorm was a noble deputy. I could have intervened when he died, but I was too terrified. I blame myself for the loss of a true deputy.

Graystripe was a terrible cat - he was loyal to no Clan, not even his birth Clan. His relationship with Silverstream was against the warrior code, and he lacked the foresight to see how kits would affect their relationship.

I watched them from the shadows, hating myself for bringing this cat into a possible position of leadership. Then Brambleclaw came along. Brackenfur would have made a much better deputy, but no. However, the current deputy - and her most probable choice for deputy - is better than nothing. -Dusk, a loner

He made a promise when he was still a kit. I hate how Mapleshade took all the cats he loved, especially Willowbreeze. She was awesome. He looks like a bad guy in the first series, but he is really just this lovable old furball.

I will also always hate Rainflower because of how she rejected him.

I think his life was more difficult than the lives of the others. I felt sad for him when Rainflower (his mother) didn't love him, and I liked when his father protected him. I felt sad too when he made the promise to Mapleshade and, because of that, he lost everything he loved.

But for all this (and more), he is one of my favorite characters.

Now here is a cat that could have had a better life. I wish he had gotten to stay with ThunderClan, but because of the bloodthirsty Tigerstar, he was forced to leave.

He had tried to prove himself over and over to his mentor, but he always failed. When he left the clan and then turned down the chance to rejoin, I was sad and wished he could have said yes.

He lived with Barley on the farm instead and lived his life to the max.

I'm in Long Shadows right now. I haven't seen Ravenpaw in a long time. Where is he?!

Too bad he had to leave. Stupid Tigerstar.

He will always be my favorite Warriors cat, even if he's not very popular right now. I loved when he, Fireheart, and Graystripe went on their journey to save the kits. The three of them were the best of friends!

I love Crowfeather! He's a character that deserves more love. He's so grumpy and rude toward other cats, but deep down, he's just sad. His relationship with Leafpool is beautiful and well-written, and I just love everything about his character. Also, I'm pretty sure I know where Jayfeather got his grumpiness.

I love him! He's grumpy and snappy, just like the characters I like. There are some characters that aren't actually like that and are just sad on the inside, which I hate. But Crowfeather is snappy inside and out.

Also, I'm not sure why, but I just love him. And I think I figured out where Jayfeather got his grumpiness.

What a good cat. She has had a rough life, given that her mother and siblings died when she was a kit. Now, she is a StarClan warrior, and her legacy lives on through her daughter. She was a wonderful cat, and I loved the moment she gave her heart to Graystripe.

Their relationship was strong, and it was heartbreaking when she passed away. I wish she could have lived to see her two wonderful kits grow up. She will always be Graystripe's first love, and I firmly believe they should be together, while Millie should be the one to go.

Millie was a poor mother who played favorites with her kits. I hope that when Graystripe joins StarClan, they will reunite.

Mapleshade killed Spottedleaf! I hated her for that and only that. But I can see her side and understand her. After all, how would YOU feel if you got kicked out even though you didn't do anything truly bad?

Bluestar, Yellowfang, and Leafpool all had mates from different Clans, and they didn't get exiled. Mapleshade definitely deserves her kits and a better life.

Spottedrose of ThunderClan

Mapleshade looks cool. I mean, she is cool. She may have killed cats, but I don't blame her.

Stupid Frecklewish deserved to die for not helping Mapleshade.

Scourge was a villain. Not necessarily evil, but a villain. But that's exactly why he's my favorite warrior cats character of all time - he has so much wasted potential.

He ripped nine lives out of a leader twice his size, nearly took over the entire forest, and almost killed his half-brother. He built an entire society from a bunch of fighting, hungry alley cats.

His manga, Rise of Scourge, shows his utterly awesome backstory. Besides that, he wears the claws and teeth of his enemies, which is absolutely insane and cool, and overcame his disgusting, immature siblings. The most interesting warrior cats character ever, and I really wish that he had a few more pages.

To me, Brackenfur seemed like a really good-looking cat. He was sweet and always wanted to know if anything was wrong. I hated that he had to live with the fact that *SPOILERS* Seedpaw and Sorreltail had passed.

He seemed broken afterward, but he knew he had to stay strong for the sake of his clan. He always cared about his sister and was worried about her leg. Even though the books don't say this, I believe he would have done anything to have Cinderpelt train with him as an apprentice. I love you, Brackenfur!

I just finished Tallstar's Revenge, and, man, it gave me a new perspective on this character! I used to not really like him because I thought he was old and sort of annoying, but now he's one of my top 20 favorites! He was a great character throughout the book, and he was wise to choose a better deputy!

Tall x Jake MUST be canon! It's so perfect!

- xX_Laurel_Xx

Have you noticed how all the WindClan super editions are just brilliant? (I say this before Onestar's Confession has come out.) Either way, Tallstar's Revenge is impressive for Warriors. I hardly need to summarize this masterpiece. He is also a clearly good character in the main series. JakexTallstar should be canon. They are like literal puzzle pieces.

Note: This is all my opinion. While I would love to hear yours, I would not like to be hated on. I am also a human being, if that's okay.

A great medicine cat with a very strong and loyal bond with her sister. She remained loyal to her Clan despite loving Crowfeather and having his kits. My favorite warrior cat.

Leafpool is the best cat as she is kind, caring, and loyal, even after her relationship with Crowfeather. Though she made a poor choice in loving Crowfeather, her decision ultimately helped save the clans by bearing Lionblaze, Jayfeather, and Hollyleaf.

She sacrificed her mate, her kits, and even her own life to save kits that weren't hers, enduring immense pain but with no regrets. She could have been ignorant and selfish, keeping everything she had, but she didn't. Instead, she put her clan first and became a loyal warrior and medicine cat.

Her love and sacrifices were worth it, as she kept her promises and remained steadfast. She doesn't harbor much hatred towards any clan cat. Life hasn't been easy for her, but with her love and courage, she faces the tough times in her life.

I have always adored Sandstorm! First off, she's independent. Most she-cats in *Warriors* are also independent, but I feel like Sandstorm gives this word a whole new meaning.

Second, she's really skilled! She can manage a relationship, hunt, and fight. Who could want more in those books? Third, this is unrelated, but she's just so beautiful. Sure, Spottedleaf was beautiful, but Sandstorm is WAY prettier! Her eyes complement the pale ginger fur, and I love it!

Fourth, she's awesome, has an awesome mate, and (*mostly*) awesome kits! I have no idea how I would be able to manage having my entire family be awesome. Fifth, she fought on the correct side of the Great Battle (cough, cough, Breezepelt, cough, cough), and when her mate died, she was actually sad. I feel like the Erins tone down the sadness a LOT - like Berrynose didn't even really care after about a chapter that his mate died.

Plus, Sandstorm is just awesome, and you gotta love her!

Why did StarClan give him his nine lives? Why? For some reason, I think they did it to test all the Clans, trying to see what they would do about it, especially ThunderClan.

Which one?

Tigerclaw: A good villain. No Tigerclaw = No books.

Tigerheart: He was actually a good leader. He took in Frostpaw and refused to listen to Trashfur when he rambled about the code-breakers.

Tigerheart is SO amazing! I love his personality, his humor, his protectiveness, his caring, his courage, and his overall wholeness. He tried not to let Tigerstar's legacy get to him. He certainly made mistakes, but that is what is so beautiful about him! He has good comebacks, is smart, and strong.

He sticks to Dovewing, and after hearing that she's gone missing, goes after her. He also saved ShadowClan. They were always heading down a dark path, and Tigerheart made them a clan again. He made them strong, and he made them care. I have a whole sense of who he is, and he's such a well-developed cat. He is amazing!

In my opinion, Lionblaze underwent the most development during Omen of the Stars. In the first two books, he's fine and even develops a budding relationship with Cinderheart. However, in the next book, he tells Cinderheart about the prophecy to alleviate her worries about him getting hurt.

This makes her feel like she's not good enough for him. At this point, Lionblaze begins to question whether being part of the Three is worth it. He wishes numerous times to be a normal cat so he can be with Cinderheart. This struggle makes him more relatable as he tries to balance his prophetic duties with a normal cat life.

It's one of my favorite character arcs and adds depth to Lionblaze's character.
