About me
Spottedleaf is a young, small, beautiful, slender, graceful, lithe, long-haired, dark tortoiseshell she-cat medicine cat with warm, large, pale amber eyes, white muzzle, chest, underbelly, white paws with a distinctive dappled coat and a thick, fluffy tail; small pink nose and mottled face. She is gentle, earnest, compassionate, and gifted with herbs. Was murdered by ShadowClan warrior Clawface in Into the Wild. She is still in love with Firestar and does her best to guide him from StarClan. Spottedleaf was also secretly jealous when Sandstorm gave birth to Firestar's daughters: Leafpool and Squirrelflight. Firestar and Spottedleaf never became true mates canonically but they would have if she lived so I put it up anyway(Also the SpottedXFire fan in me would like it like that.)

Hi, I'm Romance Girl and I'm signed up on this wiki sometime in April of 2011. The Warriors series is my absolutely fav series. I have every book in the series so far. How I got into this series is kind of funny. I always saw the books around but I only looked at the covers and nothing else, always saying "I don't want to buy that book" or " I'm not interested". But one day I went to the Arizona Public Library and saw the book "Warriors: Power of Three Series Eclipse". I was particularly curious that day, so I decided to try it out. When I started reading, I must say I was very, very confused." What is mousedung or foxdung"?, or " What on earth is a kittypet?". But I liked the book nonetheless, so I actually bought that book "Cats of the Clans". Now this confused me even more because I didn't know half of these characters or even begin to understand their history. So I started to built up on that and I'm no longer confused at all.

Now even though I love this series, some of the characters I hate with a passion, some I absolutely love, others I'm okay with, and some I don't really have much of an opinion on. Here they are:

CHARACTERS I LOVE VERY MUCH:

1. Spottedleaf: Spottedleaf is my absolute favorite character( even though she was only alive in 3 books). She is, by far in my opinion, the most beautiful cat in the series. I like how she was a gentle and gifted medicine cat. I thought it was cute how she had a thing for Firestar( Firepaw then) and he did for her, but it was sad that they didn't realize it until she died in Into the Wild. Spottedleaf's love for Firestar was so selfless that she approved for his love for Sandstorm. Now that's dedication. I still wish that Spottedleaf didn't die, though. She was WAY too young to die. After reading Spottedleaf's Honest Answer,  I love her character even more(which I thought was impossible.) and it displayed perfectly just how selfless Spottedleaf really is and what she said about her forbidden love for Firestar made me pity her very much.

2. Leafpool: I love Leafpool a lot too, almost as much as Spottedleaf (Not quite but close.). She is so soft-spoken and kind which is what I like about her. I also sympathize her very much. Her former mate is so cold to her(even though he still loves her) and her own kits barely even talk to her(Hollyleaf hating/hated her with a passion). Leafpool is so nice yet look what she goes through. She still loves Crowfeather even though he's been mean to her lately, making her miserable. Leafpool gave up her kits to her sister Squirrelflight because she didn't really have a choice( a decision I'm sure she regrets to this day) and since the truth came out, they want absolutely nothing to do with her, which is the main source of her misery. I hope they all forgive her soon(though Hollyleaf probably never will completely). Leafpool does not deserve what she's going through. She just made mistakes, that's all. We all do. And she also gave them up because she wanted a better life for them. Leafpool didn't do it for her own benefit. I don't understand why so many people hate her. She didn't have much of a choice doing what she did and that's true. Seriously, what other option did Leafpool possibly have? Her Clan needed her more than her kits and she had to stick to her duty as the ONLY medicine cat. People really need to think about that more.

3.Crowfeather: I love Crowfeather's attitude. He's sharp-tonged, bossy, and always talks back. He's a real laugh. However, like Leafpool, I feel bad for him too. Crowfeather is always struck with bad luck. He fell in love with Feathertail, a RiverClan warrior(against the warrior code) and Feathertail (his first love) died right in front of him. He was grief-stricken and continued to blame himself for her death. Next string of bad luck, Crowfeather falls in love again with Leafpool: a cat from a different Clan and a medicine cat, no less. I'm not going to lie, I was shocked by how much he loved Leafpool. Crowfeather loved her so much that he let her return to her Clan, knowing that she loved her Clan more than him, even though it pained him greatly(and it still does to to this day) Next up, he unknowingly had kits with a medicine cat(Jayfeather, Hollyleaf, and Lionblaze) and when everyone found out, tarnished his reputation even more. Crowfeather is an outsider in his own Clan and no one even really trusts him. Even though he has a mate(he doesn't even really love) Nightcloud and a son(one he's not even proud of or wanted to have in the first place) Breezepelt, I'm still sure part of his heart lay with Leafpool and his ThunderClan kits across the border.

4. Squirrelflight: Always loved Squirrelflight. Her fiestiness, fierceness, hyperness, and that barbed tongue of hers(inherited by Sandstorm, of course). Now Squirrelflight always made me laugh. She's very loyal and supportive towards her sister and raised Leafpool's kits very well, loving them as though they are her own. Squirrelflight and Brambleclaw are a perfect match. I hope Brambleclaw forgives her and they become mates again, but maybe that's hoping for too much. I wish Squirrelflight would go back to the way she was before Sunrise. I still love Squirrelflight but I miss the old one too. Even though I love Squirrelflight to death, I wish she told Brambleclaw that they weren't his kittens(He deserved to know. He was her mate, after all.) Also, Jayfeather and Hollyleaf better forgive her too(though I'm glad Lionblaze finally forgave her in The Forgotten Warrior.)! Squirrelflight may not be their real mother and may have lied to them, but she was the one who raised them when Leafpool couldn't, and loves then just as much as Leafpool does. Squirrelflight deserves better.

5. Feathertail: I always had a soft spot for Feathertail. She is gentle, loving, but really courageous when she had to be. Her love for Crowfeather(Crowpaw then) was adorable, but I felt that she was making the same mistake her parents made and that it wouldn't end well. Unfortunately, I was right. Feathertail died saving Crowfeather's life. That death scene was really teary-eyed for me, but it also seemed really familar. It was like when Silverstream died and how hard Graystripe took it. She sadly shared the same fate her mother did: dying at a young age. To this day, I wish they decided to go through the way they first came instead through the mountains. I also found her approval of Crowfeather's love for Leafpool was really admirable, even though I'm sure she still loves him.

6. Firestar: Firestar is an amazing cat/leader. He's probably the best ThunderClan leader ever, next to Bluestar. He's fair, wise, smart, peaceful, and has wonderful leadership skills. Firestar is welcome to strays and non-Clanborn cats and knows how it feels to be different. He wasn't even Clanborn and was made fun of but he proved them wrong! I love all that about him! There are few leaders like him. Though he is a bit mouse-brained when it comes to she-cats! He was absolutely oblivious to Cinderpelt's affection for him and didn't find out Sandstorm loved him until Cinderpelt told him. Too bad Firestar is getting closer and closer to his ninth life. When he dies, I'll be very sad and ThunderClan won't be the same. Though I'm sure Brambleclaw will be a good leader, but not as good as Firestar.

7. Jayfeather: Ah, Jayfeather...let's see, where do I begin. I just love him. Mostly because he reminds me of Crowfeather. So, like Crowfeather, I love his attitude. Everytime I see him snap at Leafpool and his littermates, mutter under under his breath, be stubborn or impatient, I just think "Wow...He's definitely Crowfeather's son." I always thought he inherited his sharp tongue from Squirrelflight before the truth came out, but he without a doubt got that from Crowfeather. I can see why Leafpool gave the -feather suffix at the end of his name. He probably reminds her of his father every day. Though he isn't a clone of Crowfeather, which is good. Jayfeather is very much his own cat. He's more patient than Crowfeather, but still has that sarcastic vibe about him. Not to mention that he is a very gifted with herbs, much like his mother is. Though I do wish Jayfeather would let go of his grudges towards his mother and Squirrelflight. He needs to let go of the past.

8. Sasha: Now Sasha, I love her a lot more than I used to. When I first saw her in Dawn, I just thought she was one of those rogues who were aggressive and bitter, but I couldn't be any further from the truth. When I read the Tigerstar and Sasha trilogy, I realized Sasha was much more deeper than an ordinary rogue. She was kind, caring, and polite( the complete opposite of Tigerstar) towards everyone and I grew to love Sasha's character. I thought any she-cat would be crazy to be Tigerstar's mate, but Sasha wasn't even close. She found out full well how evil Tigerstar was and that's why she left him, but was absolutely heartbroken by that decision. Sasha went past all his evil faults and saw that he did have good traits as well. She found someone to love in him, just like Goldenflower did, and I find that amazing. Sasha remembered all the the good traits of Tigerstar and truly loved him just like Goldenflower. So I respect Sasha a lot more now.

9. Sorreltail: Sorreltail is one of my favorite characters for a reason. Her personality attracts me alot, along with her mental strength. To me, she's like an older version of Squirrelflight, minus the attitude. Sorreltail is happy, lively, cheerful, but also very responsible. Sandstorm and Dustpelt trained her well. She's like a kitten in a warrior's body and it's very cute to see. Sorreltail is also a very beautiful tortoisehell-and-white cat. The reason why I say I like her mental strength is because of how she copes with loss. Basically her entire family is dead: Willowpelt, Whitestorm, Rainwhisker, and Sootfur, plus two of her kits Molepaw and Honeyfern died more recently, and even though she was full of grief and still misses them, Sorreltail was able to move on and still be happy, though Brackenfur probably helps. Not many people in the real world are able to move on about things like that, so that's why I admire her. Her new kits Lilykit and Seedkit are so cute!

10. Bluestar: Bluestar is a great cat/leader too, just like Firestar. She is very wise, kind, patient, and was so loyal to her Clan that it amazed me. She sacrificed so much for her Clan and truly died a noble death. Though she did have a problem with loss and heartache. Despite that, I really symphazied with her hard life. Bluestar's mother Moonflower died right in front of her and she was so upset that Sunfall had to cheer her up. Next, her sister and best friend Snowfur was hit by a monster and died instantly right in front of her. Bluefur blamed herself for even taking Snowfur out for a walk, especially when Snowfur had a kit. Bluestar then slinked into a depression again, but, again Sunstar helped her. Another tradgedy was when Bluestar unfortunately fell in love with a RiverClan warrior Oakheart and though she was only mates with him for one night, Bluestar loved him very much, but decided that she needed to be loyal to ThunderClan. Bluestar was heartbroken by this, but decided it was for the best. But sadly that was not the last of Bluestar's troubles. Bluestar realized she was expecting Oakheart's kits; Half Clan kits. This is when I really pitied her. She was disappointed in herself, but loved Mosskit, Mistystar, and Stonefur with all her heart. But because of Thistleclaw's ambitions and her loyalty to her Clan, she gave up her kits to RiverClan to be deputy but lost Mosskit. Bluestar said a fox had taken her kits, but was just as saddened as if that actually happened. I felt so sorry for her. Bluestar watched her kits grow up in RiverClan, and was very proud of them. Though that decision continued to haunt Bluestar, she moved forward and ThunderClan was well cared for during her reign. I was glad that her kits forgived her for her actions when she died. I thought Bluestar was wonderful. She deserved to go to StarClan.

CHARACTERS I'M OKAY WITH:

1. Graystripe: I like Graystripe, but he's not a favorite character of mine. What I like about him is his good-humor and warm-heartedness. When he joined RiverClan, I admired his dedication to his kits, but I didn't think he belonged there. I was glad he returned to ThunderClan, but pitied him because he left his kits behind in RiverClan. When he was caught by Twolegs, I was upset but more worried about Firestar than him. I'm glad he's back in ThunderClan now, but wasn't too thrilled he had a new mate(SilverXGray fan here) Millie with him( I don't paticularly like her), but whatever. It's Graystripe's choice.

2. Dovewing: She's a new character, but I grew fond of her quickly. Dovewing is innoccent, yet serious, kind-hearted, and is not obsessed with the warrior code thank god(you know who I'm talking about)! I also love her warrior name, it's cute: Dovewing. Her love for Tigerheart is pretty cute too and I wanted her to forgive him, but I understood why she isn't. Lately though, I REALLY don't know. I love her ability too. I wish I had that skill! Dovewing is a pretty young cat too. She's a 1000x better than Hollyleaf ever was and 5x better than present Hollyleaf(as you can see, I'm not a fan of Hollyleaf).

3. Lionblaze: I like Lionblaze more than I used too. He has good leadership skills, very smart, and the most powerful fighter ever next to Tigerstar. But his love for battle scared me lot when he was younger. I almost thought that Lionblaze would turn into another Tigerstar, but thank goodness he grew up and did not follow that path. He controls his love for battle better than he used to, but still scares me slightly sometimes. I think that Lionblaze would make a wonderful deputy once he has more experience and learns to control his urge to fight a little better. I'm not a fan of the HeatherXLion relationship, and I'm glad he moved on. I don't know why I don't like it though. Maybe because I don't want him to make the same mistake his parents did. I also want him and Cinderheart to be mates again. She's not normal either so it should work out.

4. Cinderheart: I like her personality a lot. She's fiesty, brave, and a good warrior. A lot like Cinderpelt before her accident, actually. I'm glad she was able to be a warrior when Cinderpelt wasn't able to. But I thought it was weird that she broke her leg though. It was even the same leg that crippled Cinderpelt. StarClan were watching her closely, but apparrently not close enough. Thank goodness she recovered! I want her to be with Lionblaze again. Hopefully, when Cinderheart finds out she was Cinderpelt, she'll be mates with him again. I hope she will. Cinderheart is also very responsible and a great mentor to Ivypool. Once she did found out she was Cinderpelt, I was shocked at her reaction and felt bad for her conflicting feelings and how she didn't know who she was anymore. I was upset that chose to be a medicine cat again( I was literally thinking " No! You didn't come back for that! Be a warrior! Be happy with Lionblaze!), though I'm positive she's now a warrior again and I'm very relieved at that.

5. Tigerheart: I've always liked Tigerheart, but not as much as I used to. He's playful and fun, but also loyal to ShadowClan. I was quite shocked though that Tawnypelt named him after Tigerstar, because she wasn't proud of nor even liked her father(Quote:"I was glad when he died! -Tawnypelt),but I guess even she admitted his strength. Though I'm not surprised that Tigerstar used that old `We are kin so I'll train you` act and Tigerheart was stupid enough to listen, even though he must heard the stories of him. Despite his affliation with The Place of No Stars, he still seemed good and pure at heart. I don't believe he intentionally meant to use Dovewing. Tigerheart has a crush on her and was just being stupid and not thinking. I hoped she forgive him. I didn't even think Tigerheart fully knews what the Dark Forest warriors are trying to do. But that whole "I'll get revenge for Flametail!" thing that he said to Ivypool is really worrying me. Maybe he'll turn into another Tigerstar! I really hope my suspicions are wrong. But after The Forgotten Warrior he is literally stumping me right now. Hollyleaf as well.

6. Stormfur: I like Stormfur too. He has Graystripe's humor, but Silverstream's spirit. He knew better than Feathertail to become mates with a cat from a different Clan even though he loved Squirrelflight at the time. Stormfur was a loyal RiverClan warrior, even though he is Half-Clan. But then he met Brook Where Small Fish Swim. I didn't mind him having a thing for Brook, but I never thought he would give up his Clan for her. When he said he was going to stay with the Tribe of Rushing Water with Brook, my first thoughts were: "What?! You're staying with the Tribe?! No! You're a Clan cat, not a Tribe cat! Don't do this!" but he did and I never thought I would see him again. But Stormfur did come back(under strange circumstances) and joined the Clans again(with Brook, of course). I was surprised, but glad he was back. Then he went back to the Tribe AGAIN because that was Brook's home and he loved her enough to go with her. I was disappointed, but accepted his decision. I sort of hoped Stormfur would return someday, but that's out of the question now. He has a family now, so there is no way he would leave. Stormfur is still a Clan cat at heart though, not a Tribe cat, and I think he knows that. I still believe the mountains isn't his true home, and his real home will always be with the Clans.

7. Sandstorm: I like Sandstorm because of how she has changed. She has grown up a lot, that's for sure. When Firestar first came to the Clans, all Sandstorm did was insult his kittypet heritage, thought he was useless, and looked down on him. But when Firestar saved her, she saw how wrong she was and started to respect him and even grew to love him the more time they spent together. I loved that kind of development for Sandstorm( I actually love that kind of that development in ANY relationship). I actually like Sandstorm overall. She is smart and when she's angry, she's not afraid to use that tongue of hers(Firestar hates it when Sandstorm is angry with him). She is also proud and a very independant she-cat, always wanting to do things on her own. But what I like most about Sandstorm is how gentle she is when she wants to be and how her skill as a warrior matches even Firestar, and Sandstorm sees herself as an equal to him in her own right. In my opinion, her and Firestar are truly a perfect match and she has been a wonderful mother to Squirrelflight and Leafpool.

8. Brook Where Small Fish Swim: I like Brook because she's as gentle and kind as Feathertail or Leafpool and I like gentle characters. She's a very pretty brown tabby and that unusual eye color of hers(I think it was gray) only enhances her beauty. I really respect her character. She gave up her home for Stormfur because she loves him so much and that amazed me. Brook never felt at home in the Clans and was like an outsider. But because of her love for Stormfur she was willing to give up everything she had ever known in The Tribe of Rushing Water just to be by his side(quote:" Wherever you go, I go. -Brook). That's what I admire most about her. Brook gave it her all to be a warrior even though she really wasn't fit for that role and was used to only being a prey-hunter . Even though she's the reason Stormfur left ThunderClan, I don't blame her because Brook did leave her Tribe for him once, so he felt like he had to too, and not only that. He also loved his mate which is understandable. Her kits Lark That Sings at Dawn and Pine That Clings to Rock seemed absolutely adorable too!.

9. Brambleclaw: Brambleclaw is awesome. He is smart, loyal, has a great leadership skills, and is a wonderful deputy. When his sister left ThunderClan, I felt sorry for him because he would only see Tawnypelt during Gatherings and he probably felt alone. I also liked how Brambleclaw deals with the shadow of being Tigerstar's son. No one really trusted him, not even his own mentor Firestar, because he was the spitting image of his father. Yet, Brambleclaw dealt with it and eventually earned their trust, recieving the rank of deputy. I think he deserved that more than anyone else. Seeing how Firestar will die soon, I have no doubt that Brambleclaw will be a fitting replacement for leader and lead his Clan well, much better than his father ever did in ShadowClan(Bramblestar!Bramblestar!). It's actually rather hard to believe he is Tigerstar's son because there're just so different in personality. I found it rather ironic that he fell in love with Firestar's daughter (you know, because their fathers hated each other), but I thought it was cute and I was very disappointed when he broke off their relationship. I understand his reasons though and I don't expect they'll get back together anytime soon (if they do at all, judging by the way he acted in Sign of the Moon), but I still wish Squirrelflight told him they aren't his kits, but at the same time, I'm glad she didn't. Jayfeather, Hollyleaf, and Lionblaze would resent him too, and the last thing I want is more grudges.

10. Honeyfern: Honeyfern is a rather minor character and wasn't alive very long but I just like her for some reason. She's a very pretty light brown tabby(I always picture her golden for some reason) and a very helpful young warrior. Her death scene in Sunrise was also sad and she was only about a year old, so Honeyfern died at a very young age. Though I will never understand why she kept "padding and mooning over Berrynose". He annoys me. Really. He is very stuck up. But, nevertheless, I like her character and how she helped Jayfeather fight Brokenstar and Breezepelt. He would've died without her!

11. Tawnypelt: I like Tawnypelt a lot and she reminds me very much of her mother Goldenflower. She is tough, strong-willed, determined, fierce, but has a suprisingly gentle side that is seen a few times, especially with her mate Rowanclaw, brother Brambleclaw, and kits Tigerheart, Flametail, and Dawnpelt. When Tawnypelt was an apprentice, she was untrustworthy to her Clanmates because of her father Tigerstar and just could not stand how they saw her, refusing to look past her heritage. And then she left and went to ShadowClan. I understand how she felt and to be honest, I would have probably left ThunderClan too. Maybe it bothers me a little that she's a ShadowClan cat but not by much. I really grew to like Tawnypelt in Midnight and that showed that her true home is with ShadowClan. I'm pretty sure that everytime there's a dispute between her Clan and ThunderClan, Tawnypelt feels conflicted because she still feels loyalty towards her birth Clan(Notice Tawnypelt never shows outright aggression towards ThunderClan...... ever.) I'm admittingly a bit bias towards ShadowClan( Its my least favorite Clan.), and her demeanor seems more like most ThunderClan cats than ShadowClan.

12. Ivypool: I didn't really like Ivypool at first but lately, since her position as a spy, I like her a lot now. She's really, really brave and her loyalty to ThunderClan is unwavering and strong(She actually killed Antpelt for ThunderClan's sake. That's dedication.) Her personality is also appealing and I'm glad she got over that "jealous of Dovewing" phase. Ivypool is a great warrior and ThunderClan is lucky to have her. The Place of No Stars better watch out!

13. Bumblestripe: I have a big soft spot for Bumblestripe, especially since The Forgotten Warrior''. ''While his warrior name is kinda stupid(Why did Millie have to name you Bumble?), he's just a really likible character to me. He's kind, patient, loving, funny sometimes, and really loyal to the people he loves. I think the biggest reason I like him is because he reminds me of Graystripe but also reminds me of my favorite character from the anime NARUTO  which is..... Naruto. Also, the way he treats Dovewing being so tender and sweet is also similar to how Naruto treats the girl he loves(Sakura obviously). That's why I like Bumblestripe.

CHARACTERS I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK OF SINCE THE FORGOTTEN WARRIOR:

Tigerheart: I have said before that I like him, but I don't know anymore. He seems to be getting worse as the books go on, and the recent book is showing this. I mean, he sided with Dawnpelt that Jayfeather killed Flametail(which he didn't!) and that upset me. Before he didn't believe her but now I think he does. Also, in The Place of No Stars, it was indicated that he does know their true plans and it didn't phase him at all. Tigerstar is slowly corrupting him, I just know it!

Hollyleaf: I never thought that Hollyleaf would be a stumper for me. '''EVER. '''I was convinced I would always hate Hollyleaf until the end of time. Amazingly though, after seeing her actions in this book, I really don't know anymore. She was helpful to her Clan and it was..... cool. So I guess I'll have to wait and see how she is in The Last Hope to actually form a straightfoward opinion on her. If she still hates Leafpool though, I will lose the little respect for her I have gained recently. Even if Hollyleaf does forgive her, I don't think I'll ever get over her past enough to actually like her character. I just can't bring myself to move past that. I'll always dislike her but maybe not hate. I don't know.....

CHARACTERS I HATE WITH A PASSION(SOME I JUST DON'T LIKE):

1. Tigerstar: I've hated Tigerstar since the very beginining. I don't even understand how he got his nine lives. He didn't deserve them whatsoever. I didn't like how he was so ambitious and bloodthirsty for power. He was willing to kill his own Clanmates just so he could be Clan leader. Tigerstar killed his own uncle, Redtail, in cold blood and would have even murdered his apprentice Ravenpaw for knowing to truth if he hadn't left ThunderClan. Tigerstar is responsible for so many deaths of characters I was fond of: Bluestar, Stonefur, Brindleface, Graypool, Redtail, crippled Cinderpelt, and who knows how many times Firestar almost died because of him! I hate him so much. Now I know both Pinestar and Thistleclaw are partly responsible for the way Tigerstar ended up, but that doesn't excuse the fact of how much death and misery he caused. Tigerstar even attempted to take Bluestar's life and caused her to go insane and depressed (now I NEVER forgave him for that). And then he got BloodClan into the forest and claimed so many more lives and pain because of his foolishness. I was glad Scourge killed him. He deserved it, killed by his own ambition. You would think that he would learn the error of his ways and learn from it, but no. Even after death, Tigerstar continues to sceme and plot things, being the bitter old cat that he is. Still wanting revenge on Firestar after all this. I hate characters like that! Now he's getting more Dark Forest warriors, living and dead, to rise up with a war against StarClan (why on earth the living cats are even LISTENING to him and trusting him even though they heard the stories of him I have no idea). The story is getting interesting because of him, but someone needs to put him in his place soon.

2. Hollyleaf: Hollyleaf isn't as evil as most of the other cats I'll name, but still hate her just as much (even more, actually). I never even liked her to begin with. She always annoyed me a lot. She was like "Oh! That's against the warrior code! You can't do that!", or "We can't live without the warrior code." Hollyleaf would go on and on about the warrior code, never wanting to break it, to the point of isanity and obsession. Seriously, she said she wanted to be as great a leader as Firestar, but what did he do before he became leader? He broke the warrior code. She needed to learn that to be a good warrior, you have to ignore the warrior code sometimes. But Hollyleaf never learned that concept. Once she found out the truth of her birth, she despised Squirrelflight for lying to them saying "it was against the warrior code" even though she loved her as if she was actually her own daughter, showing no sense of gratitude or love towards her anymore at all. Then Hollyleaf hated her father Crowfeather for falling in love with a medicine cat and especially loathed and hated Leafpool the most. All because it was against the warrior code, which it was, but still! Now I can understand her being distraught about her birth being forbidden by the warrior code, I would too, but Hollyleaf took it to a whole other level. She attempted to murder her own mother, Leafpool(my second favorite character) with deathberries saying "All this is your fault!". Now I don't care what Leafpool did to her, that's evil! She's no different than Brokenstar! Oh yeah, and then there's the fact that she murdered Ashfur to stop him from revealing their secret, but ended up revealing it anyways, making his death meaningless(even though I don't particularly liked him either). I was glad when she supposedly died so I wouldn't have to see her again, but, unfortunately, I'm almost positive Hollyleaf is still alive and it was later confirmed. It's too bad, though. I really wish Erin Hunter just killed her off. Since The Forgotten Warrior though, I will admit my hatred towards her has lessened, so much so that I'm not even sure if I hate her anymore.

3. Brokenstar: I hate Brokenstar for a multitude of reasons. The main one being because he's evil and there are very few evil characters I like. Now I'm normally a fan of the foribbiden relationships but the YellowXRagged pairing that resulted in his birth I wish never happened. Brokenstar should have died right then and there with his unnamed sisters but apparently StarClan had other plans. I understand that Lizardstripe is partly to blame for the way he ended up and his kithood was absolutely terrible, so I guess I can sympathize with that (barely though). Though, in my opinion, that all pales in comparision to what Brokenstar actually did during his lifetime. Brokenstar is incredibly ruthless. murderous, and cold. He was so ambitious that he knowingly murdered his own father who loved him and trusted Brokenstar with his life just to become leader of ShadowClan (Raggedstar should have saw that coming though just because of Brokenstar's personality). I will also never understand how Brokenstar recieved his nine lives after killing his own kin but whatever. Killed his own very young apprentices and blamed it on Yellowfang when she wasn't even involved, causing her exile out of the Clan (Yellowfang may not be one of my favorite characters but I liked her enough to be angry about that). I also despise him out of my sympathy towards Yellowfang. She loved him through his entire life and even after his death, and it tore her apart on the inside to see how her only son turned out to be so ruthless. I was glad though when he got blinded and killed by his own mother by deathberries (though I can't even imagine the emotional pain Yellowfang went through during that moment). When I found out Brokenstar was in the The Place of No Stars that really isn't surprising to me at all. In fact, I expected him to end up there. It's a fitting place for a cold-hearted cat like Brokenstar.

4. Nightcloud: I'm sure no one is surprised that Nightcloud is in this list. I honestly don't think anyone likes her. At first I didn't hate her, because I didn't really know much about her, besides the fact that she supported Mudclaw but other cats did too so I didn't hate her for that. Now when I really started to hate her was when the Power of Three series came along and we saw more in-depth of her personality. To be honest, I was very shocked and a little angry that Crowfeather claimed a new mate so soon after he was with Leafpool and I always thought that Crowfeather would never get another mate because he loves Leafpool so much. I was confused and it made his love for Leafpool seem empty and meaningless. But when I realized why Nightcloud became his mate I thought it made sense and it was a very good strategy to earn his Clanmate's trust again( thought I pity Nightcloud a little because he's kind of using her). The reason I hate Nightcloud is because she's always so jealous over Crowfeather when it comes to Leafpool( which she should be because Leafpool is still very much a threat) and so possessive. She's always acting like she owns Crowfeather and knows the best for him which isn't true at all. Crowfeather's her mate not because he loves her so much but because she's useful and her being his mate is neccessary. I actually think deep down Nightcloud knows this which is why she's so edgy and jealous all the time. She has a suspicion that he still loves Leafpool which is entirely correct. Because I'm a LeafXCrow fan, I really wish their relationship would just end soon. They do not have mutual feelings for each other. Crowfeather doesn't truly love her because he's still in love with Leafpool and I have a feeling that if their relationship does end, it will be Crowfeather who ends it. I don't think Nightcloud will, not because she loves him(though that's part of it), but because this is probably how she thinks: " He may still love her and that tabby may still love him too but I have one thing that Leafpool will never have and that is Crowfeather himself!" That's basically her train of thought really. Because of her insecurities and anger about where his affections really lie, I think that sometime soon she will become a perfect canidate for The Dark Forest to get revenge on Leafpool, just like her horrible son( I hate Breezepelt too but I'll get into that soon).

5. Breezepelt: I hate Breezepelt very much. He's no different than his arrogant mother, but I pity him a little bit. He get's no paternal love from Crowfeather, always feeling like he has to prove himself because his father has no pride in his son at all. But I hate him more than I pity him, especially since the Omen of the Stars came along. At first, just like his half-sister, I never liked him and found him very annoying(though for some reason, I found Hollyleaf more annoying than him). Breezepelt is always boasting about himself, vicious towards everyone, and has little skill as a warrior even with the Dark Forest training. Some of you are probably saying: ''" Well if you hate Breezepelt you should hate Crowfeather too!" ''Okay, while he does share some of Crowfeather's traits, he is a much better cat than Breezepelt ever was and much more mature. He has more in common with Nightcloud than Crowfeather, which is another reason why I hate him. The main reason why I hate him though is because he's trying to kill all my favorite characters! Breezepelt almost killed Jayfeather and would have if not for Honeyfern. And now Jayfeather has this scar from him that he shouldn't even have at such a young age. He wants to kill Lionblaze(which he will never accomplish because Lionblaze is too good), Jayfeather, Leafpool and his own father( I swear if he ends up killing Leafpool or Crowfeather I will be sooo pissed and Breezepelt will become my most hated character, right up there with Tigerstar!). Once he finds out Hollyleaf is alive, Breezepelt will probably want to kill her too, which I could care less about. Anyway, in my opinion, killing your own family or attempting is cruel and downright evil(unless they're twisted themselves). Breezepelt is always saying that Jayfeather and littermates weren't meant to be born, but, as far as Crowfeather is concerned, he's the one who never shouldn't have been born. Crowfeather would have liked to have kits with Leafpool because he loves her and that's why he's proud of her kits. They were meant to be born, but not Breezepelt. Crowfeather knew what he was doing, but he did not want to have kits with Nightcloud; he just thought he had to. Crowfeather sees Breezepelt as the "mistake", not his ThunderClan kits. That's why he's so cold towards and not proud of him at all but he does love his son. I thought it was funny how Breezepelt went through all that training in the Place of No Stars yet in Night Whispers Lionblaze flattened him without even trying. It was hilarious and I'm sure that after that, he was fuming a lot :).

6. Hawkfrost: Well, this is just what Hawkfrost is: younger Tigerstar which is why I hate him. I would have hoped he would turn out like Sasha or Brambleclaw but nooo. Out of Tigerstar's 5 kits, one of then just had to share his ambition and cruelty. He is a horrible cat and the way he messed with Mothwing, his own sister, is just awful. He's the whole reason she lost her faith in StarClan! He did such underhanded ways to reach leadership such when he planned Stormfur and Brook to be exiled by Leopardstar and it actually worked! What really made angry was when he almost killed Firestar and would have if not for Brambleclaw! He died at a young age but he got exactly what he deseved. However, it was sad how shattered Brambleclaw was after his death that he caused but he did the right thing. The only thing I didn't like about his death was that Sasha lost her son. I feel sorry for her because she doesn't know that Hawkfrost died or that he ended up just like Tigerstar, the one thing that I'm sure she was dreading. I do know one thing, though. Sasha would be distraught over her son's death but she would also be angry, disappointed, and ashamed of Hawkfrost's actions and personality. And now, he's in the The Place of No Stars with his 'beloved' father, plotting and sceming revenge against Brambleclaw for ruining his life and dreams. I'm sure though that if Brambleclaw ever meets him again, he will win the fight just like the last time. I would look forward to that. ^_^

7. Ashfur: I actually liked Ashfur for a long time until Long Shadows came around of course. He seemed like a good cat and he was for a while but I guess that changed in Sunset. I didn't like his relationship with Squirrelflight for two reasons: 1. Squirrelflight and Brambleclaw are meant for each other and I didn't like him loving her one bit, and 2. Ashfur defended Squirrelflight too much. She is an independant she-cat, just like Sandstorm, and does not tolerate other cats looking out for her too much, which was his biggest flaw. I knew it wouldn't last. And, just like I predicted, she just wanted to stay friends with him because Brambleclaw was the one she truly loved. I felt sorry for Ashfur because I know he really loved Squirrelflight and he did not take it very well, but I figured he'd get over and move on with his life. That wasn't even true at all and I was wrong. I can't believe he was so hurt by it that he conspired with Hawkfrost to kill Firestar just to get back at Squirrelflight. Once I found he was who helped Firestar almost lose a life I was incredibly angry and I grew to hate him. Firestar didn't do a thing to Ashfur! He once respected him and just because it would hurt Squirrelflight doesn't mean he should have done it. Ashfur wanted her to suffer, and which in his way, would be killing off cats who are important to Squirrelflight. So I will sum up Ashfur in three words: HE IS INSANE! When Hollyleaf murdered him, I was absolutely sure he went to the Place of No Stars. No doubt in my mind at all. So imagine my surprise that Ashfur ended up in StarClan(I'm sure I wasn't the only one who was shocked). Really?! StarClan?! Why would he go there of all places? Ashfur did bad things, worse than what Mudclaw did. However, Yellowfang was right of course. Ashfur did love Squirrelflight too much to point of insanity and obsession, but that was not the only thing he did wrong. Squirrelflight loves too much too but to a much lesser extent than Ashfur. I hope the Hunters explain more as to why he is in StarClan. I still don't understand that.

8. Thistleclaw: I really do not like this character. From the beginning, I just did not like them. He was an aggressive and ambitious character and never got along with Bluefur(Bluestar). She knew something was off with him so I trusted her. Of course, because of his ambitions, Bluestar had to give up her kits(this made me sooo mad) so ThunderClan would be safe and Thistleclaw never even got close to leadership. And Snowfur, Bluestar's sister, took him as her mate which I hope she regrets in StarClan. What did she see in him I wonder? I am very glad that Whitestorm did not end up like his father and grew up to be kind and wise like Bluestar and Snowfur. Because of how different they are, I find it hard to believe that he actually is his son. In Crookedstar's Promise, it was revealed that he was being trained by the Dark Forest, not surprising, but what is surprising to me is that he still went to StarClan after what he did (thankfully he did not stay there). But fortunately, when Bluestar went to StarClan, she was outraged and chased him to the Place of No Stars(which I would have loved to see ^_^). That's where Thistleclaw truly belongs. What I hate most about Thistleclaw though is that he was Tigerstar's role model and influenced many of his traits(such as his ambition, cruelty, aggression, and bloodthisrtiness) He molded Tigerstar into the current tyrant he is today. I believe that if Sunstar had given Tigerstar Bluestar as a mentor instead of Thistleclaw, he would have turned out as much more mellower and understanding. I can't wait for Thistleclaw to get owned(by Bluestar or Snowfur preferably) in the war against StarClan. It will be hilarious.

9. Berrynose: I do not hate Berrynose but their is many of his traits I do not like. When he first became a warrior, he was so stuck up and annoying, thinking he was so much better than everyone else. Arrogant too(Ironically, Beetlenose, from Crookedstar's Promise, reminds me a lot of Berrynose. Admit it. They are really similar). The way he treated Lionblaze was horrible, though I found his fights with him quite hilarious. And of course, he grabbed the attention of Honeyfern, which to this day I still do not understand. Berrynose ignored her throughout the whole Power of Three Series but next thing you know, they're all flirty and mates in Sunrise. When I first realized that fact, I was thinking, " ''Wow. When did that happen? That's unrealistic and totally random." ''This is what I found incredibly wrong. Right after Honeyfern's death, he became mates with Poppyfrost, her sister. Horrible act right there. It's like this is what Berrynose was thinking: 'Oh well Honeyfern died so I'll just take Poppyfrost and have kits with her instead'. I know that he really does love Poppyfrost, but that's the intial impression I got. I don't know but if I was Honeyfern, I would be pretty pissed and hurt. There should an additon to the warrior code about that. Anyways, while Berrynose is getting less annoying(Thank god Cherrypaw and Molepaw have seen to that.), I still do not like him.

10. Ferncloud: I find Ferncloud more detestable then Daisy, surpisingly. I don't hate her but I do have a problem with her. Unlike many others, I don't think she had too many kits but if Ferncloud has a fourth litter, then she will be pushing my limits. However, she is a gentle cat, which I like, but I find her lazy and useless, like Daisy. Ferncloud actually had warrior training and can fight but all she does is sit in the nursery doing nothing. She's been in there too long and she should go back to warrior duties. Every time I see her as a queen in the allegiances, I think to myself " Is she expecting another litter with Dustpelt?, but she never is. Sheer laziness in my opinion and that's why I find her a liabilty to ThunderClan. So my message to Ferncloud is: " Get off your lazy butt and help the Clan more for once!"

11. Daisy: Daisy is annoying, whiny, and useless. She only cares about her 'precious' kits and doesn't worry about ThunderClan in the slightest. She also worries way WAY too easily over the dumbest things. Daisy can't even fight and protect herself. If you live in a Clan, you have to fight! And, while I admire Firestar's readiness to help loners and strays, I believe he is getting a little soft and easy on Daisy(though he isn't as bad as Leafstar. I still can't believe she has daylight-warriors. It makes me mad.) Daisy doesn't do anything helpful for the Clan. She's only there for safety and comfort. Her non-clannborn kits(Hazeltail, Mousewhisker, Berrynose) and even Toadstep and Rosepetal are more useful then her! Seriously, as far as I'm concerned, If you're in the nursery, you should be raising or expecting kits asa queen. If not, get the heck out of there! Firestar should make Daisy learn to fight and become a warrior for once in her life. Jayfeather was right. You can DEFINITELY tell that she is not Clannborn.

12. Millie: Now I know this is getting pretty long, but I just had to add Millie in the mix as well. At first I liked her, but not anymore. She was cheerful and headstrong, rare for a kittypet, but also shared a fasination with the outdoors and was curious about Clan life, just like Firestar(Rusty at the time) did when he was a kittypet. However, while I'm grateful that she helped Graystripe return to the Clans, I still don't like the fact that she's his mate now. When Graystripe first announced that Millie is his mate, I was shocked and upset(mostly shocked though). I never thought he would have another mate after Silverstream and I wanted it to stay that way. I was upset because I am a SilverXGray fan and it was sort like Silverstream was getting replaced. Graystripe and Silverstream belong together. However, it happened, so whatever. Anyways, the reason I don't like Millie is because of how she treats her kits. All she thinks about is "''Briarlight! Briarlight! Briarlight!" ''and completely disregards Bumblestripe and Blossomfall(her especially). Now I understand that of course she would give Briarlight more attention because she's crippled, but Millie does not act like a mom towards her other two kittens at all anymore. She acts like she only has one kit which is not true. Millie has three kits, not one! Bumblestripe is coping with it okay but Blossomfall is doing horrible. She wants attention that Millie won't give her, so she signed up for the Place of No Stars. I really feel sorry for her, and hope Millie will straighten up. She is a horrible mother now. Graystripe made a mistake making her his new mate. His last mate, Silverstream, is a much better cat than Millie. I like her a heck of a lot more.

13. Rainflower: After reading Crookedstar's Promise, I have a strong dislike towards Rainflower. The way she treated Crookedstar after his broken jaw was cruel and sad. She neglected her own son and instead focused on Oakheart, since he was "perfect", causing Crookedstar to feel like she didn't love him. You don't favor one kid above the other! It's just wrong. Even giving him his own nest separate from hers and changing his name to Crookedkit instead of Stormkit, a painful reminder of how different he is(Glad Shellheart stopped being her mate.). He should've grown up to be Stormjaw or Stormclaw(eventually Stormstar) intead of Crookedstar. The closest thing he ever even had to a true mom was Echomist, who cared enough to look past his injury. While she eventually felt bad for the way she treated him, I wouldn't of had forgiven her like Crookedstar did. She made his entire life lonely and hurt. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I think even Millie is a better mother than her(and that's hard for me to put)!

Other characters I hate/dislike are Mapleshade, Thornclaw, Birchfall, Blossomfall, Darkstripe, Lizardstripe, Scourge, Bone, Heathertail, Antpelt, Onestar, Reedfeather, Mudclaw, Dawnpelt and Leopardstar.

Wow that took me a very long time to finish. Longer than I thought. However, seeing how I'm finally done with the characters, I think I'll get to my least favorite pairings and my favorite pairings in the WARRIORS series.

THOUGHTS ON CERTAIN PAIRINGS IN THE SERIES, SOME GOOD, SOME BAD:

Firestar and Cinderpelt: To be honest, at first, I didn't even know this was a pairing. I never saw hope for this pairing ever. You see, I'm ashamed to admit that I never knew Cinderpelt was in love with Firestar until one of the Erins confirmed it. I was shocked when I found this out, and after going through the series and seeing signs that she did indeed love him, I felt like slapping myself for overlooking all of the hints in the books. I'm normally good at reading signs of feelings but not in this case. Anyways, because I like Cinderpelt's character, I feel sorry for her because she was in love with a cat who would never return her feelings and, even if Firestar did, her duty as a medicine cat would keep them apart. Firestar did love Cinderpelt, but not in the way he loves Spottedleaf and Sandstorm. For him, it was a mentor-apprentice relationship, maybe in a fatherly way, but nothing more. Despite knowing this, I wish he least found out about her love for him and acknowledged and respected her feelings. However he remained oblivious and unknown to that fact all the way up until the day she died and even after. That, I believe, hurt Cinderpelt more than anything, besides having her warrior path snatched from her of course. So I guess I do like this pairing and wouldn't have minded if it really did happen, but not as much as the other Firestar pairings.

Firestar and Spottedleaf: I love Firestar and Spottedleaf's relationship. Like I said in Spottedleaf's paragraph, I found her love for Firestar cute and really enjoyed it. He loved her too, but she died before both could express it. I find that very sad and when she died, Firestar was heartbroken for a while. However, he moved on with his life and fell in love with Sandstorm afterwards, but I am sure he still has feelings for her. But Spottedleaf never moved on and never will. Even now, she still loves him and wishes she could've been Firestar's mate and have his kits instead of being a medicine cat. While she did say in Firestar's Quest that they could have never been mates, I believe that if Spottedleaf didn't die in Into the Wild and lived longer, they're would have been another forbidden relationship between Firestar and Spottedleaf eventually(it wouldn't work out for long of course). I'll admit that I love the FireXSpotted couple more than FireXSand, but I'll acknowledge that Firestar definitely loves Sandstorm more now.

Sandstorm and Firestar: I do love this pairing. Really. I like how Sandstorm started out hating him, but grew to love Firestar. It reminds me of my favorite NARUTO pairing NaruSaku. It showed how much Sandstorm has changed and that Firestar is really forgiving. After Fire and Ice, I quickly saw signs that she was starting to like Firestar more than as a friend, the biggest sign being that she sided with Fireheart instead of Dustpelt. However, I can't believe that he had to be told that Sandstorm loved him by Cinderpelt, another cat that loved him and a medicine cat at that(Seriously, Firestar is such a clueless tom). However, he finally realized she did and started to love her as well.The whole pairing is good, positive development on both sides. Then finally, they declared their love for each other(I loved that moment ^_^) and became official mates in The Darkest Hour. And then in Firestar's Quest, they had their first and only litter: two cute she-cats named Squirrelflight and Leafpool(When I first saw that, I was thinking "Finally!" They waited a very long time and its about time they had kits). Okay, while I love Spottedleaf and Firestar more, Sandstorm knows Firestar much better and matches him in skill as a warrior and I find that touching and sweet. Firestar loves Sandstorm more and, with a little diffculty, I accept that. Sandstorm is his true love and is the best match to his personality.

Feathertail and Crowfeather: I really don't have much to say about this pairing. I like it, but I don't ship it. Feathertail was the first to see underneath that prickly exterior, who Crowfeather really was. A lonely, but sensitive young cat, and I think that Feathertail is really special to have seen that. She will always hold a place in his heart, but I believe that Crowfeather loves Leafpool more. The reason why I don't ship this is because I really didn't want Feathertail to make a mistake and repeat history. She is Half Clan. Half ThunderClan, Half RiverClan. Her parents Graystripe and Silverstream got together and we all know how well that turned out(a very tragic,sad ending). I thought there love was cute but also didn't want either of them to have a horrible ending. I thought that Feathertail would have more common sense then to try and be mates with a WindClan cat, which Stormfur did not lack. But, then again, she is definitely the daughter of Silverstream(She is like her in every way. More than just appearance.) As for Crowfeather, I like how he finally learned to open up to someone and learn to love. He became more understanding because of his time, though brief, with Feathertail. I knew this wouldn't work out and my heart broke into pieces when my suspicions were confirmed. Her death scene was so sad and literally a little piece of Crowfeather died with her on that day. I also found it noble that Feathertail wanted Crowfeather to be happy(which the source of is Leafpool), even if it meant her losing him and how Crowfeather was guilty that he loved another cat besides her when she just died. Though Feathertail hasn't said it, I know she is jealous of Leafpool and a small part of her resents her for having kits with him, but Feathertail is too gentle and kind to ever voice her discomfort. Anyways, while I do like it, out of the Crowfeather Pairings, this one isn't my favorite.

Nightcloud and Crowfeather: I hate this pairing a lot. This is actually my most hated pairing in the series. Just like Nightcloud herself, I'm sure no one likes this couple at all. This is one of those one-sided pairings that came to be in fairly twisted circumstances. I really could not believe Crowfeather took her as mate and I found that very random at first(Nightcloud must of had had a crush on him before this). My thoughts at around that time were "What is this?! Crowfeather loves Leafpool, right? He moved on that quickly!". After I found out the real reason how the NightXCrow pairing came about, I relaxed a little bit but still feel a twinge of resentment over this. And despite my hatred for the warrior Nightcloud, I couldn't help but feel sympathy for her, especially when I saw the way he treats her. She may be ill-tempered, arrogant, possessive, and annoying but she doesn't deserve to be used. Anyways, the reason I hate this pairing is because Nightcloud really is not right for Crowfeather. She's too overly possessive over him, and I am sure Crowfeather knows this and it angers him(Night Whispers being a perfect example of this.) ).He likes "soft-spoken, gentle cats."(Leafpool or Feathertail coming to mind, anyone?). Crowfeather does not truly love her and Nightcloud is just a replacement for Leafpool's former spot(and a poor one, at that). Because of there not-so equal feelings, I hope their relationship ends soon, especially since he loves another she-cat. That would infuriate her the most.Though, knowing Nightcloud, she probably won't take that all in stride.

Crowfeather and Leafpool: Last, but certainly not least, Leafpool and Crowfeather. This is my absolute favorite pairing in the entirty of the series so far, and I don't think that will ever change. To be honest, because of this pairing, its the reason I'm always going to Crowfeather, Leafpool, and their kits pages so frequently(you know, to check and see if someone hasn't messed with them). There are many reasons why I like this pairing, It just clicked right away for me. Their love is really powerful and I don't think it will ever fade. Right away, I could see signs of attraction as early as Dawn, though while it intrigued me, I wasn't that into it. But when Starlight came around, I started to get into. I could tell Leafpool had a crush on him(Cinderpelt could tell too. You know how wise she is) and found it humorous that she stated she hated him and continued to be in denial of her feelings for the skinny WindClan cat(Quote: I do remember. You don't think that I feel any affection for that bad-tempered furball, do you? Leafpool) At the very end of that book, Crowfeather finally confessed his feelings to her and while I loved that scene, I felt sorry for Crowfeather because of his torn feelings of guilt and love. Then, Twilight came around and I have to say that one is my favorite warriors book. Crowfeather and Leafpool started their secret meetings(I only wish we could have seen more of their secret meetings.). However, they started to break up, Crowfeather, with much pain, admitting that Leafpool was more loyal to her Clan than him( Your heart lies here. Not with me. It was never truly with me.-Crowfeather). He loved her enough to let her go. Leafpool was heartbroken by this, but knew that he was right. After Twilight, I noticed that Leafpool wasn't the same after that and often seemed sad about something. Crowfeather took it hard, even worse than Leafpool did. He always tried to be loyal to his Clan and earn their trust again, but was also openly hostile towards his former mate. This worried and angered me for a time, but I eventually realized he was only trying to mask his hurt. I knew that Leafpool still had feelings for him and found Crowfeather's anger hurtful. Then came the big revelation in Sunrise. This led Crowfeather to grudgingly develop divided loyalties(more so than before). Leafpool had three kits, breaking the code of medicine cats, and to add more unforbidden stats, the kits are half WindClan. She and Crowfeather(who else) are the parents to Jayfeather, Lionblaze, and Hollyleaf. I was so shocked(stunned, really) when I found that out, but then the pieces began to fall into place. It always confused me that they were Squirrelflight and Brambleclaw's when they looked nothing like them(especially Hollyleaf). I always wondered why they're were grays and blacks with that litter when Brambleclaw is dark brown and Squirrelflight dark ginger. It made no sense at the time, but now it does. Lionblaze got his coloring from Leafpool and Jayfeather and Hollyleaf from Crowfeather. So, anyway, despite that pain because of this, I am glad they did have kits together. I know for a fact that they still love each other and, out of all the other forbidden loves, I really hope this pairing has a happy ending(for both of them) or at the most make peace with each other.

Graystripe and Silverstream: I'm definitely a supporter of this pairing and have been for a while. I like both Silverstream and Graystripe, but when they were together, they were awesome. I knew that Graystripe really did love Silverstream dearly, and I believe a part of him always will, even with Millie (Similar to FirestarXSpottedleaf). Silverstream fell for him as well, but she knew it was wrong and felt guilty about her actions. However, she loved Graystripe too much to stay apart from him, and followed her heart instead. The only problem that I had with this pairing was Graystripe's careless abandon of Brackenpaw's training(I knew he loved her, but Brackenfur was his apprentice, so his training was more important). I like this pairing a lot and was thrilled that Silverstream would have his kits, though also worried about the kit's future. And when she died from labor, the scene was so sad, I almost cried. Graystripe's anguish was heatwrenching and Silverstream couldn't even raise her own kittens(Can't at least one forbidden love have a happy ending?) This signified the end of SilverXGray and, though I knew that, I would have hoped he didn't get another mate(which he did, unfortunately). I still believe though that Silverstream will always be his true love. Anyways, I am glad that their kits Stormfur and Feathertail grew up to be strong, loyal warriors to both RiverClan and ThunderClan as well. If I had my way then Silverstream and Graystripe would still be together, Feathertail wouldn't have died, Stormfur and Brook would live in ThunderClan raising their kits, and most importantly, MillieXGraystripe would have NEVER became canon. But we can't always get what we want, can we?

Millie and Graystripe: Like I have stated in Graystripe's, Millie's, and the SilverXGray ship paragraphs, I hate this pairing and do not support this. I could say I have logical reasons for disliking this shipping. I could say that, but if I did, I'd be lying. There is really nothing wrong with this pairing and their interactions, but I just don't like Graystripe with any other cat besides Silverstream. While I will be forever grateful for Millie returning Graystripe to us, I just don't like then together and I don't think I ever will. They even had kittens together( Isn't Graystripe a little too old for that?)! I recently dislike Millie at the moment, so I guess that doesn't help my opinon on the matter. Though I could rant on about how much I hate this or that they aren't right for each other, it doesn't change that fact that this shipping is canon, no matter how much I wish it wasn't. You can't change what happened. Only the Erins can do that, so my opinion or anyone else's really doesn't matter at this point. Despite my displeasure and disappointment, I accept this and bear it, unfortunately.

Jayfeather and Willowshine: Crack pairing. Don't see this happening at all, and if it does, not anytime soon.

Jayfeather and Briarlight: Some of you may be surprised at this, but I actually see this as possible one-sided pairing. There are hints to it, most prominantly in Sign of the Moon''. ''It was during that scene when Jayfeather was all muddy and exhausted and Briarlight offered to clean him up. Now I know this could of just been her gratefulness, for him healing her and being by her side because of her broken backbone but I sensed more loving care and affection from her. To me, my personal view of it is that she developed a crush on 'our snappy little Jayfeather'. It's probably because he was their for her and such. However, I say one-sided for a reason. Jayfeather himself thought that she couldn't be the cat for him(I'm pretty sure he sensed her crush. He does how the abiltity to sense emotions, you know) Hence the "one-sided term".

Half Moon(or "Stoneteller" but I prefer Half Moon) and Jayfeather: This cute little pairing is one that I love and a part of wishes it did become canon, at least for a while. "Love that transends time" comes to mind when I think of the Half MoonXJayfeather pairing. I feel that she is Jayfeather's first love, which taught him how to feel for another cat, and that he'll understand more on what Leafpool and Crowfeather are going through, at least a little. I noticed Half Moon's affections for him immediately in Long Shadows, and it peaked my interest. I figured that Jayfeather held an attraction to her at the most, and it disappointed me that he left The Ancients too soon for his feelings to get deeper. I didn't think we would see them again but I was delighted we did. In Sign of the Moon, he actually developed serious feelings of love and affection for her. She actually tempted him to stay with the Ancients, be mates with her, and have his kits, which, in itself, is surprising. He was always a very loyal cat and would never even think to have a mate, him being a medicine cat and not wanting to make the same mistakes Leafpool did. I like Half Moon personally and it bothered me how hurt she was when Jayfeather left. But he knew his duties, yet probably would have stayed there with her if not for Rock of course. Though he painfully told her they could never be mates, I still count her as Jayfeather's(or Jay's Wing's. Whatever.) short-term mate. That's the way I see it at least. And The Forgotten Warrior confirmed that he did indeed love her and misses her very much so I was right again ^_^.

Lionblaze and Heathertail: I never really did care for this pairing, even before I knew who Lionblaze's true parents were. He had a crush on her straightaway from the moment he saw her and then eventually they had there secret meetings in Dark River and fell in love with each other. At the time, I couldn't understand why I didn't like the ship, but it just didn't appeal to me. I also found it annoying that Lionblaze thought it was just friendship, when it clearly wasn't(Was he really ever that naive?). You don't meet a cat from another Clan secretly every night, break the warrior code, and pass it off as friendship. That's stupid reasoning. I found it amazing that he was the one who broke off their relationship, truly proving his loyalties to ThunderClan, when he loved her as much as he did( A clear difference between him and his father, who couldn't even do that with Leafpool for the same reasons.) While it hurt, I'm glad both he and Heathertail moved on(though the thought of her and Breezepelt together is disturbing. I really hope that doesn't happen). Since Sunrise, my real problem with this is that Lionblaze shoudn't repeat what his parents did(See my words on the FeatherXCrow paragragh). I'm usually against that idea, the only exception being JayXHalf. Now that Omen of the Stars started, I'm all for CinderXLion.

Lionblaze and Icecloud: Up until recently, I didn't know this was a pairing that could actually happen, but I saw a few people ship these two cats together and it made me wonder. I'm really confused that some people say Icecloud has a crush on Lionblaze, for I never noticed it. Does she? There must be very few hints to that if she does. Anyways, whether she does or not, Lionblaze doesn't have feelings for her, and if her feelings do exist, the pairing is one-sided obviously. I do not ship this pairing, let alone understand it, and see it as pretty much a crack pairing. But I figured this couple earned a place in my profile, so I put it up. Sorry if I offended anyone who likes this pairing.

Cinderheart and Lionblaze: This is a newer pairing in the series, but I'm all for it since Fading Echoes''. There interactions caught my attention, when I noticed how they were during that moonlight walk in Fading Echoes, ''that reallly just clinched it for me. I've been in love this couple ever since and was delighted that they decided to become mates. And then my hopes were again dashed when the Hunters decided for Cinderheart to panic over Lionblaze's "greater destiny" when learning about the prophecy(Something he never told anyone outside of his littermates, Firestar, and Dovewing. That's an honor right there.), and quickly broke up with him. I freaked out pretty badly over this(I get like that over my favorite pairings XD), going from fuming at Cinderheart over her lack of understanding for Lionblaze and then to the Erins for doing this, and then back to getting angry at Cinderheart again(I may have overreacted a little. ^_^). However, I am glad that they're back at speaking terms again and are getting along in a "friendly" way(emphasis on friendly). Does anyone remember what Leafpool said to Lionblaze in Sign of the Moon? Quote(to Lionblaze): ''" I think I do." ( blinks sympathetically) " And I really believe that she loved you in fact, I think she still does." ''Leafpool is very wise, so I trust what she says, not that I needed her quote to prove that Cinderheart loves him still. Its quite obvious she does and Lionblaze should have known that. My hopes are back up again when Erin Hunter(one of them at least)said that Lionblaze and Cinderheart might get back together. I know its not much but it gave me hope. As for the whole prophecy thing, I'm pretty sure when she finds out she was once Cinderpelt(which she did) that she'll be mates with Lionblaze officially. Both of them are not even close to normal, which will be the turning point. I was upset when Cinderheart went through that "medicine cat phase" in The Forgotten Warrior, but then Jayfeather gave her a little pep talk which in the process revealed Cinderheart's love for Lionblaze again(Quote: "I wanted Lionblaze.... but I can't have him" -Cinderheart) I'm pretty sure that that talk made her rethink her decision, and she chose to be a warrior again, Because of that, I have high hopes for the CinderXLion pairing in The Last Hope.

Brambleclaw and Squirrelflight: I have always been a fan of the BrambleXSquirrel pairing. I am, after all, always a sucker for love/hate relationships and this one was definitely high on that list. From the beginning, Squirrelflight was always that stubborn little firecracker towards Brambleclaw(any cat really when you think about it) and he was always thoroughly annoyed with her barbed tongue and impulsive/immature behavior in Midnight. But then Squirrelflight(Squirrelpaw then), being the curious, adventurous apprentice she was forced Brambleclaw to give in in letting her go on the journey to the Sun-drown-place with him. And then, Midnight--Dawn, Squirrelflight developed sincere feelings for Brambleclaw, eventually falling in love with him(which is ironic in so many ways.) Brambleclaw as well started seeing her in a different light, and truly did love her for a long time. Then their relationship through Starlight--Twilight became strained when he started to become closer to Hawkfrost, who she openly distrusted and hated. Brambleclaw mistakenly believed it was because it was because he was Tigerstar's son, causing him to question whether she didn't trust himself for being Tigerstar's kit, and they grew apart in the books. To make matters worse, the disaster that is SquirrelXAsh(*gag*) came along and they become close, Squirrelflght even developing slight affection for him, which did not help their situation any. Brambleclaw was jealous of this, and did not deal with this development well. However, Squirrelflight realized that her feelings towards Ashfur was not the same like her feelings for Brambleclaw and just wanted to be friends which Ashfur didn't accept. Also Leafpool had that vision that showed that Brambleclaw and Squirrelflight were meant to be together and they finally became mates in Sunset''. ''They were great together and happy, raising Leafpool's kits well. But. of course, that all came crashing down in Sunrise. Brambleclaw found out the truth that they weren't his kits and that Squirrelflight, his beloved mate, had lied to him for seasons. That information hurt him and he felt she betrayed his trust, again believing that Squirrelflight didn't trust him enough to be honest, which wasn't the case( Quote: " And you couldn't trust me?" (shuddering and a pause) " You couldn't trust me. Don't you think I would of helped you, if you'd told me the truth? But it's too late now." Brambleclaw to Squirrelflight) Squirrelflight was just doing the best she could for her sister but Brambleclaw unfortunately wouldn't hear it. Ever since then, Brambleclaw has hardly spoken to her and Squirrelflight has been miserable. He will NEVER forgive her enough to be her mate again and that makes me sad. Squirrelflight has sadly accepted this, feeling as if she deserves it(Quote; That's never going to happen." (sighing) " Perhaps its for the best that it never did." Squirrelflight to Lionblaze) I still love this pairing though and I still wish the Erins can make it canon again.

Squirrelflight and Ashfur: See Ashfur paragraph and BrambleXSquirrel ship paragraph.

Stormfur and Squirrelflight: One-sided pairing. Never cared for this one. Glad he moved on with Brook.

Brook and Stormfur: I like this pairing and they are so cute together. They both truly love each other I like that. Both are perfect for each other(Though I still do miss both of these characters and wish we could see more of them.)

Dovewing and Tigerheart: To be honest, I was a shipper of this pairing from Fading Echoes and onwards. In The Fourth Apprentice, it was immediately made obvious that Tigerheart had a crush on Dovepaw(for he kept saying throughout the book "Don't worry! I'll protect you!"), though she found his overprotectiveness annoying but still developed a bond with him throughout there journey. However, in Fading Echoes, Dovepaw(now Dovewing) missed her bond with her old friends and Tigerheart was the one she talked to the most. I noticed that Dovewing had unrealized affection for him in this book as many times in her thoughts she described him as "handsome and worried over him a lot. This is when I started to love this pairing and I found it adorable. There was also that scene where Ivypool and Tigerheart shared a "knowing look" during the battle against ShadowClan. Dovepaw noticed this and felt strangely jealous, not exactly knowing why but pushed it to the back of her mind. In Night Whispers, Tigerheart and Dovewing's relationship grew and she accepted to meet in at the border. This was when Tigerheart confessed his feelings to her and Dovewing accepted them, admitting that she too loved him. I was so happy then and they began a forbidden relationship. Of course a problem with this pairing was Tigerheart's affilation with the Place of No Stars and how he refused to tell Dovewing he was involved with them but I believe he wasn't evil then. This pairing was ruined when Dovewing foolishly told him about Jayfeather's herbs, and then Tigerheart told his Clanmates who took Ivypool hostage for catmint for their medicine cat Littlecloud who had greencough. After this, Dovewing felt hurt and betrayed, coming to the conclusion that he didn't truly love her like she did him. At the next Gathering, she abruptly broke off her relationship with him though Tigerheart insisted he didn't mean to betray her trust(I still believe him) but she wouldn't buy it. Since then, Dovewing has tried to avoid him and move on with her life, though she still has feelings for him as of The Forgotten Warrior. I was sad at this and part of me wanted her to forgive him, but understood why. I don't know what to think of Tigerheart's motives right now, so I've been leaning more to BumbleXDove lately as of The Forgotten Warrior.

Bumblestripe and Dovewing: Admittingly, I hated this pairing in the beginning of The Forgotten Warrior for no other reason besides me being a TigerXDove shipper and I did not like her affection towards at all. But as I read more chapters, my hatred towards this couple disappeared and grew fond of this pairing. Bumblestripe truly cares for Dovewing and would treat her respectfully and lovingly if he became her mate. He is tender and gentle towards her(much like Tigerheart is) and Dovewing deserves stability and to love a cat without guilt. Will I be disapointed if she choses Bumblestripe over Tigerheart? Probably yes. I still like TigerXDove more and will probably always ship it(unless he does turn out to be evil which is a possibility) but I am fond of BumbleXDove as well and we'll be able to accept her decision without anger.

Bluestar and Thrushpelt: I ship this pairing as well and wish that it became canon. Thrushpelt's feelings for Bluestar were obvious from the beginning(Rosetail didn't need to point it out.) yet she was oblivous to it at first. She was too wrapped up with her goal of becoming leader, training, also her family members, and later Oakheart. Besides that, Bluefur never returned his feelings. If I recall correctly, she wasn't attracted to him at all and once said he had "no ambition". Point being, he was no Oakheart. Thrushpelt was aware that she didn't reciporcate, but never stopped trying, always hoping she would feel the same one day. Unfortunately for him, Bluestar fell in love with Oakheart and was bearing his kits. Rosetail found out and immediately assumed Thrushpelt was the father, eventually telling him(despite Bluefur's objections) in the process. Afterwards, he confronted her about it and Bluestar panicked. However, he didn't push who the father was, gently saying that there was probably a good reason for keeping it a secret. She truly wanted to return his feelings, she did, but couldn't force herself to love him as her heart already belonged to a certain RiverClan warrior(Quote: " I'm sorry it didn't work out differently. I-I would have been happy with you, I know. But now everything has gone wrong, and I don't know what to do." --Bluefur to Thrushpelt.). Thrushpelt was then in a state of sad acceptance for he loved her more than anything else in the world and would do everything in his power to make her happy.(Quote: " You know how I feel about you, Bluefur. I'd do my best to make you happy, I promise. And I'll love your kits as though they were really my own." --Thrushpelt to Bluefur). Throughout the rest of the book, he was loyal and devoted to her, keeping his promise to love Bluestar about her children and truly felt fatherly love towards them. It was revealed by Bluestar that he kept her secret to the end and everytime he spoke of her lost kits, it was with the fond grief of a father. She was touched by how much he loved her and since then, though she never felt the same, Bluestar felt a fondness of Thrushpelt, describing him as a "true and faithful friend." When he died, she really missed his presence. I believe he'll always love her, even after death and she was happy to see him in StarClan. In the timeskip during Bluestar's Prophecy, I was disappointed that she never became an offical mate to him as I feel Thrushpelt truly deserved her love after everything he did. I have nothing against BluestarxOakheart, but I feel he did more for Bluestar then Oakheart ever did. I am sure Thrushpelt did find out about her kits and their father. He probably wasn't suprised about her secret mate and understood her decison about her children, though been saddened over what she had to go through and Mosskit's fate. Because of his selfless, loyal, forever love towards Bluestar, I fell in love with this pairing(His love towards her reminds me a lot of Naruto's devotion towards Sakura so that's why.) I am sure that Bluestar and Thrushpelt are still close friends in StarClan(with him still loving her.)

Bluestar and Oakheart: While I love BlueXThrush more, that doesn't mean I don't love this pairing as well. It was immediately obvious that she liked Oakheart right away(I think Rosetail described her as "moony") but at the same time, he infuriated her with his cocky, proud attitude and could destroy every scrap of patience she had in the blink of an eye. Though she did like his healthy, loyal ambition to RiverClan and thought he was attractive. Bluestar also showed slight jealousy when Rosetail appeared to have a crush on him. So, in other words, it was basically a love/hate relationship in the beginning and she purposely ignored her feelings for him and brushed it off as nothing. Bluefur refused to acknowledge her feelings for Oakheart even when Snowfur pointed it out. Later in the book, she finally accepted her feelings and realized he felt the same. She at first pointedly told him they live in different Clans and that there was no reason for him to want to see her but after some convincing from his side, Bluefur agreed to meet him at Fourtrees admitting she wanted to do this as well. They met and it was at first awkward, but they began playing games such as climbing and they were really lighthearted. I think that was the first time in a long time that Bluestar was truly happy and felt like a normal warrior, without the weight of Goosefeather's prophecy hanging over her head. They admitted there love for each other again(Quote: Everyone on my Clan's been telling me to get a mate but I want no other mate than you." --Oakheart to Bluefur) However, it didn't last and reality set back in. After one glorious night, Bluefur broke it off, stating they live in different Clans but also privately thinking her destiny had no room for a mate(Quote: "If we carry on meeting like this, we'll end up being hurt."---Bluefur to Oakheart). He immediately objected at this and was hurt by this(Quote: "The only thing that can hurt me is being apart from you."---Oakheart to Bluefur) but she didn't waver despite how much it hurt her, showing how much stronger she was than Oakheart himself. But right after this, Bluestar was already unknowingly pregnant with his kits(How they mated without her knowing I will never understand.) When Oakheart found out, he was at first in shock but then was excited and happy at this, offering that he would join ThunderClan but she immediately said no as she wanted him to live his dream to becoming leader and that he could never do that in ThunderClan. She decided to raise them as ThunderClan kits and loved their kits more than Oakheart himself. Though she couldn't raise them and a moon later, at the next Gathering, she told her former mate that he had to take them. He was immediately against the idea, stating that this isn't like her and he knows how much she loves their kits. Bluestar was pained but decided she couldn't be a true mother to them as she had a greater destiny of becoming leader and kits didn't fit into that(Quote: " I can't be what I want to be. I need to be strong as fire. I need to save my Clan. It is for the best. I hope they know that they have been loved. Even if they don't remember me, I hope they'll know that." ---''Bluefur to Oakheart). He accepted Bluestar's wishes and raised her two living children Mistystar and Stonefur(as Mosskit died) in RiverClan as he promised. I love this pairing because I believe both Oakheart and Bluestar truly love each other and for Bluestar's sake, they are mates again in StarClan.

Thistleclaw and Snowfur:. I hate this pairing, mainly because of Thistleclaw. Don't get me wrong I love Snowfur to death but she seemed blind by her love for him and completely looked past his faults, even when it was screaming at her in the face. Though I guess she did see some good qualitles in him, otherwise she wouldn't of loved him and taken him as a mate in the first place. In my opinion, the only good thing that came out of this couple was their son Whitestorm(I love Whitestorm and thank god he took after Snowfur and Bluestar instead of his father.) Though, I will grudgingly admitt that Thistleclaw did love Snowfur and was very distraught when she died. He also tried to be a good father to Whitekit so I guess can give him that. Despite this, I hope Snowfur in StarClan finally recognized Thistleclaw's true self and regrets ever being his mate.

Crookedstar and Willowbreeze: I grew to love this pairing as quickly as I grew to love Silverstream and Graystripe. I liked Willowbreeze from the start: Her warrior name is lovely and she reminds me of her daughter. I love Crookedstar as well: A male version of Bluestar. Anyway, moving on to the pairing WillowXCrooked.. Willowbreeze's affection was so obvious from her kitship and unward. I think she saw him as a really strong cat, physically and mentally. Crookestar at first saw her as an inoccent little kit and didn't seem to like her right away. However, when Crookedkit finally became an apprentice for it was delayed because of his broken jaw, he and Willowpaw developed a close friendship of sorts, over time becoming best friends. I sort of reminded me of Fireheart and Sandstorm's relationship before they got together. Willowbreeze's feelings for him grew very much over time and Crookedjaw's feelings did as well. Even Oakheart, if I remember correctly, teased him over his relationship with her, but he denied it. Crookedjaw believed that she could never love him or even consider him a mate because of his broken jaw. That made me sad. However, Crookedstar underestimated Willowbreeze's love for him. She was never shallow enough to not like him because of his crooked jaw; in fact, I believe she loved Crookedstar's imperfections like his jaw because it made him different and special. Eventually, Willowbreeze's and Crookedstar's relationship strenghtened so much to the point that he admitted his feelings and desire to be with her. Willowbreeze gladly accepted for she wanted this for a long time and then they became offical mates. Soon after, she was shown to be expecting his kits and Crookedstar was overjoyed for having more kin in his Clan. So was I(I was literally thinking: "Yay! Silverstream is coming! Silverstream will be here soon!") I thought it was cute that he would always fuss over her and Willowbreeze would get impatient and slightly annoyed by his worry, being an independant she-cat, though still found it amusing. However, when she was close to kitting, she started coughing but blamed it on a feather. Crookedstar grew worried over Willowbreeze and wondered if she was hiding how bad it was. Soon after, she started kitting and gave birth to three daughters. His happiness mingled with fear for her condition. Right after, Willowbreeze was tired after giving birth and because of that her greencough got worse, even spreading to her kits. She knew she was on her way to StarClan so she asked for Crookedstar to name their kits with her. She started talking to him strangely, for she knew she was going to die. Crookedstar immediately panicked and feared for Willowbreeze's life(Quote: " Don't talk like that!  You can't leave the kits! They need you!" (privately) "I need you." Crookedstar to Willowbreeze). She tried in vain to comfort him (Quote:" Oh, my precious love. Be brave for me, please." Willowbreeze to Crookedstar) and changed the topic to naming their daughters. He hesitantly agreed and named their kits: Minnowkit, Willowkit(after her mother), and finally Silverkit. She loved the names and finally rested and closed her eyes. Crookedstar stayed with her, offering to keep her warm. Sadly, Willowbreeze died peacefully during her sleep and her mate was so distraught, as both of their kits died soon after. I was so upset over Willowbreeze's death and noticed a pattern: Both Willowbreeze, Silverstream, and Feathertail died young. It's like her kin has a curse of dying young; the she-cats anyway and both her as well as her daughter died a queen. I couldn't help but notice that. However, seasons later, Crookedstar joined StarClan and was reuntied with his family. Willowbreeze was the first to greet him warmly and appeared happy to see her mate again(Quote:" Oh, my love. I've been waiting for you." Willowbreeze to Crookedstar'). I am glad, that at least in StarClan, they are finally happy together.

Cloudtail and Brightheart: I love this pairing as well. Cloudtail took care of Brightheart after getting savaged by The Pack and almost dying. He was the only one she trusted during that time when she was Lostface and helped her get back to herself again. Because of Cloudtail's loyalty, devotion, and gentleness Brightheart fell in love with him. He is able to accept the cat she is and see past her injuries and missing eye when most would only flinch from her or pity her, still seeing her as beautiful as she's ever been. Cloudtail saved her and now she bears her injuries with courage(Quote: " I would not have survived that dark time if it weren't for Cloudtail. He gave me another destiny, and I knew that no matter what I looked like, I would be alright. As long as Cloudtail loved me, I was no longer Lostface, but Brightheart." Brightheart about her love for Cloudtail) And then they were offical mates in Firestar's Quest and now we have little Whitewing(Well she's not little anymore.) ^_^. I was very angry with Cloudtail for shouldering her away to help Daisy which caused Brightheart to healing cats for an outlet. Though I knew he was only being nice to another outsider like him and had no romantic feelings for Daisy; He was just being mouse-brained about it. Thank god they worked out their problems and both Cloudtail and Brightheart are on good terms. I can't wait to see Brightheart's new kits in The Last Hope!

DustXSand and DustXFern: I have never really cared for either of these Dustpelt pairings. I love him as a character but these are just boring. DustpeltxSandstorm was dead from the beginning. He had a crush on her but Sandstorm fell in love with Firestar so didn't go anywhere anf he eventually outgrew it. Then Dustpelt met his true love and mate Ferncloud which resulted in the birth of Spiderleg, Shrewpaw, Hollykit, Larchkit, Birchfall, Foxleap, and finally Icecloud. I guess it was cute that he was so overprotective of Fernpaw and she was so shy and gentle compared to him but I just didn't care. I still don't as their relationship is fairly boring but they do love each other a lot. I also find it weird how Dustpelt kinda had a thing for his nieces(As both Sandstorm and Ferncloud are the daughters of his older sister Brindleface). Did anyone else notice that?

Shellheart and Rainflower: One of my most hated pairings in the series, mainly because of my hatred towards Rainflower. Yes Shellheart truly loved Rainflower(why I have no idea) judging by his pained gaze when she died but I am very glad he stopped being her mate for he didn't like her favoritisim towards Oakheart and disregard over Crookedstar. Oddly, when they seperated, their interactions(specifically Shellheart's part) reminded me of Squirrelflight and Brambleclaw's broken bond(Remember though: SquirrelXBramble is an OTP of mine.)

Sorreltail and Brackenfur: This is a cute pairing and I love both of this characters. Sorreltail's affection for Brackenfur was obvious in Starlight as well as Twilight and it came as no suprise to me that they became mates in that very same book, as she was expecting his kits. She gave birth to Poppyfrost, Cinderheart, Honeyfern, Molepaw, and more recently Lilykit and Seedkit. I am glad Sorreltail is content with Brackenfur and is happy, as both love each other a lot.

Any other pairing in the warrior series that I haven't covered means I don't have an opinion on them.

FAVORITE CLAN: If I could live in any Clan, it would be ThunderClan. It is my favorite Clan.
