Top 10 Warrior Cats with the Saddest Disabilities

1. Briarlight

   

   Briarlight was born to Graystripe and Millie alongside her siblings, Blossomfall and Bumblestripe. As an apprentice, she tried to save Longtail from a falling tree, and the impact crushed her lower spine. After the accident, she lived in the medicine cat den and performed regular exercises to maintain... read more

   Omg, she could have had such an amazing life. Now, she can't feel her freaking lower body, so she can't even feel the joy of having a mate or kits. Not that I judge cats who don't have kits, but she doesn't have a choice!

   She broke her backbone. Imagine how it must have felt to feel like a burden, like your mother was spoiling you, all for nothing. You could never fight or defend your clan. You could never hunt or give your clan something to live on. You couldn't even be a medicine cat because you cannot walk. You can't even walk, for StarClan's sake!

   At this point, if there was such a thing as "StarClan," I think most of us would want to go there. You don't even know why your clan is taking care of you. Briarlight soothes everyone. However, deep down, even she may want to be reincarnated, like Cinderpelt.

2. 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

   This disability is way sadder than Briarlight's, in my opinion. I mean, Briarlight can't walk anymore, but at least she's still a warrior. She can have a mate in the future if she falls in love. Her mother basically forgets about her other kits and fawns over her every need.

   Yes, her injury is sad, but nothing compared to Cinderpelt's. The car crushed not only her leg but also her dreams. She wants to be a warrior, she wants to be Firestar's mate. But she can't because the path of a medicine cat is chosen for her. She has to hide her feelings and pretend that Firestar is nothing more than her leader and friend.

   I can't even imagine what it feels like to watch him fall for Sandstorm, watching them so happy together, and later on delivering his daughters. All the while knowing it could've been her if the monster hadn't crushed her leg...

3. 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

   As an apprentice, she was bitten by dogs and almost died, like her brother Swiftpaw. Her eye was scratched and scarred, and cats were crippled with shock when they saw her for the first time.

   While healing, she was afraid when cats approached her wrong side. After she healed, Cloudtail took her under his wing, and they developed a new and effective fighting style.

   When she became a warrior, Bluestar called her a cruel name, but Firestar fixed that and renamed her Brightheart. She then became mates with Cloudtail, and they had one kit.

   I love Brightheart so much, and I do not like anyone who thinks that she's weird or dumb just because of her face. She and Cloudtail love each other, and they are perfect together. The poor little cat just wanted to help her Clan and become a warrior just like Cloudtail. Everyone has to be a bully about it!

   Cloudtail is nice, and he taught her how to be a warrior without the other eye. He taught her special moves. In fact, I think Brightheart is one of the best fighters in ThunderClan because enemy Clans will be expecting the normal battle moves while Brightheart has other techniques up her fur.

   I was enraged when Bluestar decided to call her "Lostface." I preferred the name Brightheart. Brightheart is one of the best cats in her Clan, and this is coming from someone whose third favorite character is Jayfeather!

4. 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

   At least Briarlight has a mother who basically forgets the other kits she has and fawns over her every need. Rainflower rejected her son when he needed her the most. Echomist is awesome, taking care of Crookedstar when he was a kit.

   I feel really bad for Crookedstar. He was neglected almost his whole life! How would you feel if you had a twisted jaw and all anyone gave you was a stare?

   (Broke his jaw.)

5. Snowkit

   

   Snowkit is a character in the Warrior Cats series. He was born deaf and is most remembered for the tragic event in which he was carried off by a hawk after being unable to hear its approach. Snowkit is described as a sturdy white tom with light blue eyes.

   This was completely unfair. Snowkit had the potential to become a warrior or even a medicine cat. Yes, he was deaf, but actual cats communicate through signals and body language. What would have been different with Snowkit?

   His death was just another example of the insane ableism in Warrior Cats. This is why I believe Snowkit saved this hawk's life somehow, and they became friends. Even though he's away from the warrior life and his loving mother, he's still happier because he isn't judged by his ability to hear. Also, he gave himself the name Snowhawk.

   It's really unfair that they killed off the only deaf cat in the series! He never got a chance to shine and show his true potential.

   I would like more deaf or disabled characters that go on to be warriors instead of dying or being stuck as a med cat.

6. Deadfoot

   

   Deadfoot is a small, lean black tomcat with a twisted left paw that rendered it unusable. His mother was Meadowslip, and his father was Hickorynose. He was originally named Hopkit, but due to his injury, Heatherstar renamed him Deadpaw when he became an apprentice.... read more

   He isn't that mean. He doesn't deserve getting a twisted leg. Besides, they didn't really have to name him DEADFOOT. What about Twistedfoot?

   (His foot is so cute though.)

7. Jayfeather

   

   Jayfeather is a character from the Warrior Cats series. He is part of the prophecy group known as The Three, along with Lionblaze and Dovewing, and possesses the ability to read other cats' minds, sense emotions, and enter their dreams. He was born blind, which shapes much of his perspective and role... read more

   Actually, I remember thinking that it would be cool to be blind or at least half-blind. I still think I'd like either breaking my jaw (like Crookedstar) or losing one eye, but I could never be completely blind. Then I'd never see Lightstep jumping around or see any of my friends. I just realized a while back that it would be sad to not know what any of my friends look like.

   It is not fair that Jayfeather was born blind and people pitied or looked down on him, even though he could find his way around fine and plays an important role in the prophecy.

   Also, people blame him for being mean, but his life SUCKS:

   1. Blind

   2. Forced to be a warrior because of a prophecy he didn't ask for

   3. Couldn't mate with Half Moon

   4. Sister died

   5. Lied to about who his MOTHER was

   6. Treated like a KIT and PITIED

   7. Blames himself for the death of Briarlight (a very sad death)

8. Longtail

   

   Longtail is a lean, pale brown or silver tabby tom with black stripes, a "V"-shaped nick in his ear, and a long tail. He was a ThunderClan elder who lived under Firestar's leadership in both the forest and lake territories. Before becoming an elder, he served as a warrior under Bluestar and Firestar.... read more

   I was kind of sad when he died. Firestar is my favorite character, but Longtail didn't deserve to die. He was not used to living completely blinded. It would be similar to waking up one day, and everything was pitch black. I think that this cat has experienced too much death.

   At least he and Mousefur are together in StarClan. He had such good eyesight, and according to Mousefur, his eyes were as sharp as a hawk's. Stupid rabbit.

   - Moonstar of ThunderClan

   Longtail was extremely sad when he was blinded by the stupid rabbit. You have to feel bad for him when Mousefur says that he once had eyes as sharp as hawks.

9. Halftail

   

   (Lost his tail to a badger.)

10. Gray Wing

    

    Imagine Gray Wing's kits watching their father die. Gray Wing has been in StarClan for so long, free of his asthma. Rest in peace, dear Gray Wing.

    How are Hollyleaf and Firestar higher? They are just some overrated cats who didn't even have disabilities! Poor Gray Wing.

    Sad he can't breathe well. I will miss you, creator of clans!

13. Jagged Peak

    

    He fell out of a tree and broke his leg. His own brother kicked him out of his group because of this, and he had to go live with his other brother, who was actually kind to poor Jagged Peak (*glares at Skystar).

    He was so miserable until he met Holly. When she got the illness that only the Blazing Star could cure, he was so sad. Now he is the father of Storm Pelt, Eagle Feather, and Dew Nose and is very happy living in WindClan with them.

    Clear Sky was such a horrible brother to him! I feel so bad! We all have those brother or sister moments, but come on, kicking your own brother out of your group?!

14. One-Eye

    

    Oh, she deserved so much more. She was blind in one eye. She was virtually blind and deaf.

15. Berrynose

    

    Stop hating on him! He gets his tail chopped off by a fox trap, he loses Honeyfern right when they were talking about a future together, he is half Horseplace, and he is apparently bossy by showing his apprentice some hunting skills!

    Berrynose had a bad temper and all, but when Honeyfern dies right when they are talking about what wonderful kits they would have, you have to feel bad for him.

    Berrynose lost half of his tail in a fox trap!

16. Brokenstar

    

    Brokenstar is a villainous character from the Warrior Cats book series. He is a matted, dark brown tabby tom with a broad, flat face, a bent tail, and orange eyes. Brokenstar was formerly the leader of ShadowClan and later a member of the Dark Forest. His mother is Yellowfang, and his father is Raggedstar... read more

    I think he was mentally corrupted. Cats should not exile their moms and kill their dads for power. In the end, he had to be killed by his mom because he was such a creep and loser. That's all I gotta say.

    He died by Yellowfang. By eating deathberries that Yellowfang gave him, in the Forest of Secrets. He is formerly a ShadowClan leader.

    He got his eyes clawed out by Yellowfang, his mother. He is now with the Dark Forest.

17. Fluttering Bird

    

    Fluttering Bird is a tiny brown she-cat with sleek fur and yellow eyes. Her mother is Quiet Rain, and her father is an unnamed tom. She died of starvation as a kit and now resides in StarClan, the spiritual afterlife in the Warriors book series.

    She died from starvation! And she was only a kit!

18. Frecklewish

    

    In Mapleshade's Vengeance, Frecklewish was one of the three cats Mapleshade had to kill to avenge her kits. Mapleshade lured Frecklewish into an adder's den, where Frecklewish stepped on an adder, and it bit her eyes. Mapleshade walked off, not knowing if Frecklewish would die, but certain that she would at least be blind.

    Did Frecklewish die from the adder bite?

    Also, I have a story:

    Frecklewish padded up to catch the patrol. Then she heard a noise. Mapleshade appeared.
