Top 10 Warriors Cats Cliches

This. Is. The. Most. Annoying. Thing. EVER!

It's always the protagonist who falls in love with another cat from a different Clan. Here's a list of some:

- Blue x Oak
- Crow x Leaf (like it)
- Dove x Tiger (also like it)
- Bristle x Root
- One x Smokey
- Tall x Jake
- Crow x Feather
- Mouse x Minnow (which needed more time)

And more! Sheesh, Erins! Give me a normal relationship for ONCE! - xX_Laurel_Xx

Oh my gosh, this is one of the most insanely overused plot lines in Warriors. It started with Graystripe and Silverstream, which was cute, but it's literally everywhere now, with Leafpool and Crowfeather, Mapleshade and Appledusk, Dovewing and Tigerheart, and God knows how many others. I think they should just stop making so many of these relationships and stick with relationships within the code.

P.S. One of my favorite forbidden relationships is Bluestar and Oakheart.

Why! This is just stupid! Stupid! It's kind of offensive to the cats!

In my story, no one trains in the Dark Forest.

The villain is too loyal to her own Clan to join the Dark Forest. She just got angry because everyone she ever cared about left her, making my main character kind of seem like a villain.

Brambleclaw was training in the Dark Forest for some time, and we were curious as to where his loyalties lay. Then, it got even more interesting when Ivypool joined the Dark Forest.

Omg, I started to find the amount of cats in the Dark Forest hilarious. Literally every main character ever has been there!

I think that Ferncloud is one of these cats. No offense, but she is made to be sweet and gentle because she has 100 kits in her belly! Ferncloud, Daisy, and Sorreltail are cats that just annoy me because they have literally no life outside the nursery (not so much Sorreltail). These cats are just sitting in there, not like they're expecting kits in there (except for Ferncloud, who has 10000000 kits in her belly). If you ask me, they're just crowding the nursery.

- Moonstar of ThunderClan

Maximum of two litters in my story. It gets annoying when a cat has three litters, each with three kits, giving nine kits. There is no way that cat can live like that!

The closest I ever got to three litters was a cat having a single litter of kits, then having another, but they all died, so she adopted two cats.

This does annoy me a lot. Thistleclaw, Tigerclaw, Dustpelt, Rainflower, Foxheart, Darktail, and Sharpclaw (kind of), etc.

There's always someone, isn't there? Foxheart, (Yellowfang's Secret) Dustpelt, etc.

Berrynose is just as dumb as his mother.

He's annoying and acts like a kit.

Jayfeather: Keep still and swallow your poppy seed! It's for your wound, you fox-hearted mouse-brain!
Berrynose (snorts): More like poopy seeds!
Cherryfall: He's not my...

Well, say a cat with white fur and green eyes mates with someone that has grey fur and blue eyes, and they have a brown kit with amber eyes. This may seem impossible, but say the cat with white fur has a parent with brown fur and green eyes, while the other has white fur and amber eyes.

Now, let's say that the grey cat has a parent with grey fur and blue eyes, and another with grey fur and amber eyes. This makes it technically possible for the two original cats to have a kit with brown fur and amber eyes. It's just that the chances are slim.

And sometimes the Erins don't realize that some cats are MUCH TOO YOUNG to be going to the elders' den.

Like Dapplenose and Pouncetail of RiverClan. They were apprentices in POT and just were discarded into the elders' den in OOTS. It's honestly just sad.

Hollyleaf was a good example of laziness. But at least they gave her a side story. Spottedleaf didn't become important until she died, and so on. Really, Erins?

All the kits and apprentices in arcs 1 and 2. Half of Brindleface, Speckletail, and Goldenflower's kits disappeared. Then, in arc 2, three of Ferncloud's kits died.

Meanwhile, Barkface and Mistyfootstar had their incredibly long lives. And tada! Misty appears on the cover of River, the new Warriors book! When will she die?

Ginger cats are not that common! We need a cat with an amber eye and a yellow eye! And a lavender lilac cat with green eyes! Give me a cream blue-grey cat!

Beachfang for the name, I guess!

The most used looks in the Warriors series are as follows: orange tabby, tortoiseshell, gray, etc. Why not have more hairless cats like Rock?

There should be more white and brown patched cats. They're not used often!

I mean, they're interesting as predators, but nothing else really. I'm sick of Cinderpelt and Midnight. I don't care about them. Especially Midnight - she's getting on my nerves. The only good thing she did was know who Sol was.

But they're also like the only predators that show up now. I want more foxes and WAY more dogs (I don't love them, but as predators, they're pretty underused). - xX_Laurel_Xx

No offense, but I'm so sick of Cinderpelt. I hate badgers, and I'm also kind of sick of Midnight because I just hate badgers.

Badgers are dark-hearts.

-Misty Stream, an ancient

So, let's read the next Warrior Cats series! *A few minutes later* Okay, this follows the adventures of a THUNDERCLAN -argh! - MEDICINE CAT -e- apprentice who is the son of the noble BRAMBLESTAR -gasp- who has a PROPHECY and then brings back a lost Clan.

I wonder if that puts you off. There is a ShadowClan cat who helps him in the first book, but then she goes and joins a band of rogues and falls in love with a tom.

Here's something better: two regular apprentices, a tom and a she-cat from RiverClan and WindClan, are sent on a mission to explore the rest of the area around the Clans to start their own Clan. Too many Clans? This is my kind of thing.

Dovewing, Star Flower, Feathertail, Silverstream, Whitestorm (he's wonderful, but you have to admit he's a total Gary Stu), Violet Dawn, Moth Flight (maybe not 100% Sue, but pretty much), and even MORE!

There are WAY too many Sues/Stus!

SOOO ANNOYING!

If you need help trying to have a non-Mary Sue character, just get a positive trait (e.g., honesty and talkative) and turn it into a flaw by looking at the bad outcomes of that trait. For example, the character can be dangerous because at gatherings they can give away Clan weaknesses because they are always chatting, and their honesty means that they don't lie about it.

Apart from maybe Sol or Scourge, the Warrior Cats villains are a bit clichéd. Classic Warriors villain: They're toms, cruel, power-hungry (usually want to take over the whole forest), only care about fighting and being the strongest, don't care about anyone else, and show no personality outside of being evil.

Let's see who falls under these rules: Tigerstar, Hawkfrost, Brokenstar, Darktail, Slash, One-eye, etc. Quite a lot.

We need more Mapleshades! Put back stupid Tigerstar and his fellow trainees! No more ambitions!

Give me vengeance! Write about misunderstanding! More backstories for villains!

Omsc, most annoying thing ever. The most beautiful she-cats are always silver tabbies with blue eyes: Feathertail, Silverstream, etc.

Almost every fanfiction out there has a main character that's a silver tabby, and their names are things like Moon-something or Spirit-something or Dream-something. Tortoiseshells and black cats are just as beautiful, you all.

Being a silver tabby with blue eyes doesn't make you "prettier" than other cats.

It's so annoying at this point, and the only one that wasn't a Mary-Sue is Millie.

I always think of that. If I drove a monster over a random cat, I'd notice!

Can't they hear the crack of bones?

I would notice and help! Poor kitty! Write a fanfic where Twolegs show sympathy!

Yeah, ShadowClan is not evil. The Place of No Stars is. But many people think they are!

Come on, have some imagination! ShadowClan is actually smart! They just get in battles with ThunderClan a lot. But they aren't EVIL!

Why are a lot of villains from ShadowClan?

Tigerstar was born in ThunderClan, but he lived the last of his life in ShadowClan. Brokenstar was from ShadowClan, and so was Sleekwhisker. It's just repetitive.

Let's just say this is all according to ThunderClan. Because ThunderClan has their very big share of evil cats. Bigger than ShadowClan!

So many evil cats are toms! Tigerstar, Brokenstar, Hawkfrost, Thistleclaw. The she-cat villains are usually background characters or just sidekicks!

We need more cats like Mapleshade. She was a good villain, no doubt about that.

Cats like Sleekwhisker are just side villains. She can just barely make the "villain" title for attacking Tawny and Rowan in River of Fire.

-Fallen from before StarClan

I always wanted a female medicine cat who was secretly working for some rogues. Why not?

Yes! Can we please have a few more evil she-cats? Toms aren't the only ones who can be bad!

I'm SO sick of this! Why does it even exist?!

They talked for about 5 minutes before she died, and now it's a tragedy. I hate her and this ship. Fire x Sand 4life! - xX_Laurel_Xx

This ship has no backstory and it is disgusting and unimpressive. Spottedleaf is the most useless cat in the series and she was Firestar's childhood crush. Get over her! She's just a stalker that creeps up in Firestar and his kin's dreams and is weird about it. She also is just gross with no character development whatsoever. I totally hate this ship and I want to sink it!

Firestar, turn your head to Sandstorm, your real mate. No looking at Spottedleaf, OK?

- Moonstar of ThunderClan

Ideas for problems in the book without it being really dramatic:

- Cat doesn't feel they fit in.
- An enemy tries to take their territory.
- Cat overhears a character plotting something against the Clans, but the cat doesn't know whether to let the leader know.

If you are going to put a famine, drought, etc. in the book, try to make it have a plot twist or bad outcome. If you want to be different, maybe make a cat help someone out of famine or drought in secret, instead of them experiencing it.

It happens every series. There's at least one book that deals with a sickness, drought, or something like that. It's annoying sometimes.

I'm making an evil med cat because of this.

Medicine cats aren't always sweet, lovely, popular, and pretty cats. I know not all of them are like this, but most of them are.

Like, why does this happen? An evil medicine cat would be so interesting!

Excluding super editions and side stories, only two main characters have become leader.

Brambleclaw, Firestar, Squirrelflight will be leader, and so on and so forth.

Why have the rule if so many break it? Leafpool and Yellowfang both broke it and had kits! -Fallen from before StarClan

I don't know. It's a bit repetitive, but I think it's cute. They should tackle this issue in the Broken Code.

That's absolutely right. Yellowfang, Cinderpelt, Spottedleaf, Leafpool, Alderheart, even Jayfeather!
