Trivia

Author statements

• According to Kate, after the events of The Last Hope, Dovewing chose Bumblestripe as her mate over Tigerstar as Bumblestripe was the more sensible opinion, and loving a cat from another Clan wouldn't work out well. In Bramblestar's Storm, Dovewing and Bumblestripe did break up, however, and Dovewing's unresolved feelings for Tigerstar played a role.
• Kate says that the reason Dovewing likes Tigerstar so much is that "he is naturally everything she wishes she was" as a loyal, kind-hearted, well-meaning warrior and wanting to do his best for the Clan and trying really hard too.
• Kate has said Tigerstar is the most interesting modern leader to her.
