Forum:Deputy Choice

I'm not sure how people do those fancy poll things, so I'll just do it the old fastioned way. I'll list a popular choice of deputies for when Brambleclaw becomes leader--yes, I now admit Firestar will die, but NOT because of old age--and I'll list their qualities and say my opinion about each one. Then you guys can comment and say whose the best, or put your own choice of deputy. I myself will not vote, because I think all of them are good or bad in their own way and it's hard for me to choose.

Graystripe--This was who I first thought of as deputy when I first heard that Firestar may die. The only reason he's not deputy anymore is because he was trying to protect his Clanmates and got captured by the stupid Twolegs. He proved that he was a very strong cat when he made the journey to find his home again, and he also proved that Millie, though born a housecat, was a great warrior and a loyal mate. He may not be Brambleclaw's first choice, but I think he could handle the job. Yet...there's been something about Graystripe, ever since Into the Wild. He has a sort of Ron Weasley-type of personality which is great for being a deputy, but when the leader dies, he's a bit uncertain if he can be the chief of an entire Clan.

Brackenfur--If Brambleclaw decides to be a meany and doesn't consult any other cats for advice on who he should choose as deputy, he'll probably choose this cat. Not only was he one of the substitute deputies when Firestar was trying to choose one after Graystripe was captured, he also was Brambleclaw's mentor. The only problem I have with him is that he's close to becoming a devoid-of-emotion kitty robot like Firestar, and if he gets one step higher in the Clan ranks, where the warrior code will rest even more on his shoulders, he might just trade his fur in for metal.

Cinderheart--It kind of surprised me when I noticed a lot of Warriors fans wanting this cat to not only be deputy, but leader. I agree, it would be nice if the reincarnation of Cinderpelt made up for her injury and not being able to be a warrior, but she's a little young and unexperienced at the moment, don't you think? Maybe Brambleclaw can choose another deputy, and if that deputy dies by the time she's more experienced, then she can get her chance.

Lionblaze--He's one of my favorite characters, and with an ability to have tireless energy in battle, he'd make a pretty good deputy. My only problem with him: I am sick and tired of direct descendents of Firestar getting the spotlight!
