Top 10 Warrior Cats that Most Deserve to Be in Starclan

Maybe some of the Dark Forest cat out there aren't as evil as we think they are and deserve their spot in Starclan.
The Top Ten
Mapleshade Mapleshade is a character in the Warriors series by Erin Hunter. Mapleshade is a large, tortoiseshell-and-white she-cat, with a scarred white muzzle, and white patches throughout her pelt. She is thick-furred, and her pelt is ragged, patched, and scarred. Her fur is thick around her neck, like a mane,... read more

I like Mapleshade. Even though she killed three cats, what happened to her gave her a good reason to do it. She knew that the clan she was born into and was loyal to would punish her for breaking the Warrior Code.

Abandoned, her babies all drowned, and her mate betrayed her. These events were enough to take a huge toll on her mentally and drive her mad with anger and sadness. Some people say Mapleshade is a selfish cat who doesn't deserve to be in StarClan, but that's the same as saying, Other cats who break the rules can go to StarClan, but Mapleshade can't.

If Mapleshade went to the Dark Forest because she broke the rules, other cats who broke the Warrior Code should also have gone to the Dark Forest. However, Leafpool, who, like Mapleshade, had babies with cats from other clans and hid the truth, moved on to becoming a warrior and also went to StarClan. Ashfur, who tried to kill three cats, also got a second chance from StarClan. Most of the cats who broke the Warrior Code also went to StarClan, so there's no reason why it couldn't be just Mapleshade.

She killed Spottedleaf in Mirkwood, but her earlier words indicate that she had a good reason for doing so. She was punished excessively for breaking the Warrior Code. Mapleshade is worthy of joining StarClan.

Brightflower She is mother to Yellowfang and she accused her daughter of killing her second litter. However, she is a good and caring mother.

Yellowfang's mother. According to Su, she couldn't handle the death of her two kits after she thought her older daughter murdered them. When Brokenstar revealed it was him, she couldn't understand it because she wasn't "sane enough."

What? So a cat is sent to the Dark Forest because they were emotionally unstable after their kits were murdered and they were made to believe it was their older kits? That's just cruel.

She lost her two kits to Brokenstar, but she believed that Yellowfang killed them. It wasn't her fault that she blamed Yellowfang because she was so lost in grief.

She was a loyal clanmate and a good mother, so if Rainflower went to StarClan, why didn't she?

Lilywhisker

Poor Lilywhisker! Putting her in the Dark Forest is just cruel! What is she supposed to do? "Yay! I am so happy even though I am injured. Thank you, StarClan, for choosing my fate!" NO! She has the right to be angry! And putting her in the Dark Forest won't help!

Erins, please put this cat in StarClan or let her join Juniperclaw as a tunnel guard.

Similar to Lilywhisker, she went to the Dark Forest because she "couldn't accept her fate" after injuring her back leg, sending her to the Elder's den too early. This seems quite insensitive when it comes to people with mental illnesses and life-changing injuries. Apparently, those are enough to send you to the Dark Forest.

Not for murdering or betraying anyone, but simply because you were angry for a justified reason.

Thistleclaw Thistleclaw is a villain in the Warrior Cats series. Thistleclaw is a gray-and-white tabby tom with spiky fur and amber eyes

He's battle-hungry and arrogant, yes, but plenty of other "good" cats are the same way. Mudclaw, who started a civil war because he was angry that Onestar was chosen as leader over him, and Blackstar, who followed Brokenstar and Tigerstar's orders to the letter despite them being horrific, come to mind.

The vast majority of his "evil" comes from Bluestar's very biased point of view on him and late-series retcons to make him look worse done by Vicky, who has openly stated that she hates him for whatever reason. The point is, Thistleclaw was screwed over by the writer's bias against him.

Hollyleaf Hollyleaf was one of the rare, strictly loyal cats of ThunderClan.

Her birth broke the warrior code, and she killed Ashfur in fear of him revealing the truth over her family. She lived in the tunnels for a while, before rejoining ThunderClan. Hollyleaf was slain by Hawkfrost and spent her last... read more

She REALLY needs to go to StarClan or even better Hollyleaf throughout the story! She killed evil Ashfur because Ashfur tried to kill her, one of her grandfathers (Firestar), and her two brothers. Totally not a villain, Hollyleaf.

Hollyleaf did bad things, but she is a good cat overall. She just... went insane. Imagine how it must feel to be lied to your whole life and feel betrayed by the people you love the most, then having to spend years upon years away from them.

Even though she killed Ashfur, she had every right to do it. He was evil, no doubt about it, and she did everyone a favor by getting rid of him.

Antpelt

Antpelt was a Dark Forest trainee. He was killed by Thistleclaw and then a second time by Ivypool. He was manipulated by the Dark Forest, and StarClan never once tried to reach out and help him. Not to mention, there wasn't anything he could do to leave the Dark Forest training. Beetlewhisker tried it and instantly got killed when Brokenstar snapped his spine.

There are many other Dark Forest trainees that got off scot-free, so why not him?

Antpelt was a good cat who was fooled by the Dark Forest like many others. While he did turn somewhat evil after his death, I feel like he only did that because he thought he had no other choice.

Deerfoot

Brokenstar's adopted brother and the son of Lizardstripe. What did he do? He never supported Brokenstar, and he was always a loyal warrior, doing his job. Never once did we see him kill someone or anything like that.

Brokenstar's dead brother who didn't do anything wrong. I feel bad.

Darkstripe

He didn't know what he got into when he became friends with Tigerstar/claw, and he just wanted to prove himself to him.

Sure, he followed Tigerstar, but also, Tigerstar was his former mentor, and I'm 80% sure he was manipulated.

He should be praised for his loyalty to Tigerstar.

Firestar Firestar is a character in the Warrior Cats series. He becomes the leader of ThunderClan after Bluestar. He is mates with Sandstorm and has two kits: Squirrelflight and Leafpool. Formerly a kittypet named Rusty, Firestar is killed by fatal wounds inflicted by the spirit of Tigerstar and a falling tree... read more

Firestar is a good cat, even if he is a bit overrated. He was always looking out for the better of the cats around him instead of himself. He risked his life time and time again even though he faced harsh discrimination and hate.

Yes, there are cats who deserve to be in StarClan more than him, but he definitely deserves to be there, no doubt about it.

He was one of the best cats ever, even though a bit overrated, and he should definitely be in StarClan.

Blizzardwing

A cat that appeared in Tallstar's Revenge and Yellowfang's Secret. Same with Deerfoot, what did he do wrong?

He also did nothing! I kinda liked him!

He was the same as Deerfoot. He didn't do anything wrong. I feel bad for a load of these cats.

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

Why is my good friend Ravenpaw not in StarClan? Yes, I know, he wants to stay with Barley, but even Barley and Ravenpaw should be in StarClan. They helped the clans multiple times, more than I can count. - Wolf'star, WindClan

Ravenpaw, I mean come on. He has never done anything wrong. Although you could argue that he knew all along about Tigerstar and said nothing, the only thing that stopped him from helping his Clan, no matter how hard he tried, was his crippling anxiety. He was and always will be a good cat.

Tangleburr

Tangleburr was Brokenstar's adopted sister. I admit she was loyal to Brokenstar. However, she was typically following the warrior code by following her leader. Not to mention, wouldn't you follow your brother or sister if they were the leader?

She never killed anyone. She was forced to become a rogue against her will, with no fair trial. When ThunderClan attacked, she would have expected her Clanmates to help defend their camp. Imagine how confusing it must have been to have your trusted Clanmates suddenly turn on you and treat you like an enemy.

That's one thing I've always been confused about. In the exile of Brokenstar and his followers, how was it decided who were "Brokenstar's followers"? Did cats go crazy and just accuse each other and drive out whoever they didn't like?

Breezepelt

Hmm, let me think about this for a second. To be honest though, I feel sorry for Breezepelt. He had a father that didn't care about him (a.k.a I am looking at you, Crowfeather) and a mother that told him lies. Yeah, Breezepelt didn't have great parents. I want to call Crowfeather a bee-brain right now.

He was not a good parent and only mated with Nightcloud to prove his loyalty to WindClan. Let's all admit it: Breezepelt had a bad childhood.

Breezepelt isn't perfect, and with all that he's done, maybe he doesn't deserve to go to StarClan. But also...he grew up and was raised in a bad place. In his eyes, his father didn't love him and paid more attention to cats from a DIFFERENT CLAN than he did to him.

Of course he would be bitter about it and even angrier at WindClan for doing NOTHING ABOUT IT.

Redwillow

Redwillow was a Dark Forest trainee who fought on the Dark Forest's side in New Hope and got killed by Blackstar. A similar thing happened with Antpelt. He didn't do anything apart from fighting on the "wrong" side.

I think when it's being decided where a cat should go after their death, they should be judged for their own individual actions, not the actions of their group or someone else they happened to be loyal to. It shouldn't be a matter of sides or loyalty. Every group should be judged equally.

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

Silverstream is one of my favorite characters. I don't know why she had to die.

She had such a sad death! She is one of the most deserving cats to go to StarClan.

I hope that Graystripe chooses her over Millie!

Redtail

Redtail was a good deputy, and he really did die too young. He always put his Clan before himself.

Tigerstar! Why! I'm glad that Tigerstar's gone forever, so he can't do that anymore to any cat.

All I need to say is he was a good deputy and was very young when he died.

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 has a scar running from her chest to the top of her hind leg along her right flank. She is a cat in the series called Warrior Cats... read more

Even though Squirrelflight isn't my favorite cat, she still deserves to be in StarClan. She never did anything seriously bad besides leading Ashfur on and lying about Lionblaze, Hollyleaf, and Jayfeather.

She is extremely loyal to her family, and she would do anything for them. She is a good warrior overall, and while there isn't something that clearly states it, she is a loyal cat of ThunderClan.

She hasn't died yet, but she should go to StarClan because of all she's been through.

Snowtuft

I see a lot of comments saying Snowtuft was just there, and I would agree if I hadn't read The Place of No Stars. Snowtuft risked his existence to help Bramblestar and Rootspring save Squirrelflight just for the sake of doing what's right.

I hope by the end of A Light In The Mist StarClan lets Snowtuft join. Maybe he didn't deserve it then, but he does now.

Snowtuft did not deserve StarClan at first, but after helping so much in the Broken Code, he definitely did. Does he count as a light in the mist? Because he did play a part in saving the clans from the impostor.

Dawnpelt

Many people disliked Dawnpelt, but honestly, other than the accusing Jayfeather thing, she's an amazing character! Unless you've had a loved one die before, who knows what you would do?

I didn't like her at all until AVoS, but also, she was grieving. It's hard to just accept that her brother was gone, so of course she would desperately want someone to blame.

Just because she accused Jay, doesn't mean she deserves to go to the Dark Forest.

Thornclaw

Thornclaw was one of ThunderClan's most dedicated warriors. While he sometimes did doubt Firestar, he never betrayed him or his Clan. He is a strong and dedicated warrior, deserving a place in StarClan.

Hawkfrost Hawkfrost is a villain character from the Warriors series. Hawkfrost is a dark brown tabby tom with a snow-white underbelly and ice-blue eyes. Hawkfrost was a former Riverclan warrior and member of the Dark Forest. Hawkfrost tried to kill Firestar with a fox trap but was killed by his brother Brambleclaw... read more

Hawkfrost should not be in the Dark Forest because he didn't do anything wrong. He was manipulated by his dad, he actually loved Bramblestar, and he tried to convince Bramblestar to kill Firestar. He didn't kill anyone. The Dark Forest poisons your mind. That's probably the biggest reason why Hawkfrost killed Hollyleaf.

Praised for his evilness and loyalty to Tigerstar.

He is only evil because his dad manipulated him!

Brokenstar Brokenstar is a villain character from the Warrior Cats series. Brokenstar is a matted, dark brown tabby tom with a broad, flat face, a bent tail, and orange eyes. Brokenstar was a former Shadowclan leader and a member of the Dark Forest. His mother is Yellowfang and his father is Raggedstar.

He had a tough childhood, I'll give him that. But that doesn't excuse him for training and killing kits, banishing the elders and Yellowfang, driving out WindClan, killing his own father, and plotting with Tigerclaw.

Clawface

Honestly, Clawface was just doing what his leader said, and Spottedleaf just happened to be in the way of his leader's plans. You could say that he's just very loyal.

He was just following his leader's words, like the code says to do. And plus, isn't he in StarClan?

Tigerstar Tigerstar is a villain in the Warriors series by Erin Hunter. Son of Leopardfoot and Pinestar, former mate of Goldenflower and Sasha, and father of Bramblestar, Tawnypelt, Mothwing, Hawkfrost, and Tadpole. This brown tabby cat almost causes the downfall of the clans. But is killed, firstly by Scourge,... read more

He is only evil because his mentor encouraged him. If he had a different mentor, then he would probably be like Whitestorm.

One-eye

It would be better if he had two eyes, but he was evil, and that is good enough.
