My favorite and least favorite character

[I don’t know what I’m doing]

Well, it seems like talking about clans sparked your some conversation, so why not do characters? I’m actually interested in what people have to say, so here’s my opinion:

Favorite character: Squirrelflight! I absolutely love Squirrelflight! A lot of cast seem to lose their spunk and attitude once becoming a warrior, but I’m glad she never did! I honestly really like these types of characters, unless their really annoying. But with her, she has a good balance between annoyance and being a good character! I see a lot of people saying that she’s annoying, and I can see that. But I still really like her! I absolutely support her in a lot of things she does, though sometimes I don’t really agree. She should’ve chosen some cat else besides Bramblestar or Ashfur. Bramblestar I don’t think I need to say why, and Ashfur because spoiler alert: He killed her father and attempted to murder her children..., even if she didn’t leave him I couldn’t see this going well. End of spoiler alert. I also just really enjoy reading about her. She’s my comfort character.

Least favorite character: It’s a battle between Mapleshade and Bramblestar, and she wins! Oh Mapleshade, how I hate you with my entire existence. Now, definitely some spoilers throughout my entire rant, so don’t look through this if you haven’t read Mapleshade’s Vengeance. Okay, now let’s start!

I can see why people like Mapleshade. I really don’t like these types of characters but some people do and that’s fine. What I can’t get is how people defend her. She literally murdered 3 cats! Almost nothing will defend her of this! I remember seeing a comment saying “She got revenge for her kittens” No! Revenge doesn’t always mean murder! Both Ravenwing and Frecklewish are practically innocent! Ravenwing just told the leader about the prophecy, like you now, what his entire job is about?! And Frecklewish only maybe watched Mapleshade’s kits die. Now, that may sound messed up, but what is she supposed to do? She’s Thunderclan, she can’t swim! And like Moonkitti(a YouTuber that I love) said, we aren’t even sure how long she stayed! Now, Appledusk is definitely a cheater. But that doesn’t mean sudden death. It is a little messed up, but he had to let go of Mapleshade.

Honestly, why didn’t she go for Oakstar? I know he has nine lives, but I think Mapleshade’s stupid enough to go for him. He’s the one who banished your kits! I don’t agree with banishing the kits but definitely getting rid of Mapleshade. Besides, it’s mostly her fault for killing them. She literally made them cross a river in during a storm! Couldn’t you have gone somewhere else? Like, wait outside of Thunderclan territory. But, Mapleshade is too impatient so she said no and killed all 3 of her kittens.

Now, here’s my summary of her book. Mapleshade is being stupid during a gathering. She goes through a bunch of Riverclan warriors like it’s nothing and sees her love talking to Reedshine. She gets mad and thinks the list will officially make Appledusk hers. She then has the kittens, and Frecklewish is really happy since Mapleshade sort of lied about them being her dead brothers. I mean, she didn’t say it but then again didn’t correct Frecklewish. That’s still sort of lying. Mapleshade does things with her kits for a while and then Ravenwing has the prophecy. Oakstar kicks Mapleshade of her kits out. Mapleshade, being stupid, decides not to wait to cross a River during a thunderstorm, and does just that. This kills her 3 kits. Also, Frecklewish may have saw it happen. Mapleshade walks into Riverclan accepting to get in but then gets kicked out again. She is now sad and angry. Mapleshade unlocks berserk mode! She goes on to kill Ravenwing and Frecklewish because apparently it’s their fault for killing her kittens. Mapleshade then tries to kill Reedshine but gets Appledusk instead. Then a random cat I cat remember kills Mapleshade. Then she goes to hell for very good reasons. The end!

Most of my argument I got from this video so check it out here: m.youtube.com/watch?v=4N0bmVv-oq4

Anyway, feel free to disagree with me below or share your opinion!

Note on Squirrelflight: -SPOILERS FOR POWER OF THREE AND OMEN OF THE STARS-

SPOILER: Click to show

I really liked her in the second series, but once the kits get mad at her it seems that she and Leafpool just sulk around staring wistfully at them and have no purpose, removed of all energy. She is a bit annoying, but in a loveable way.

Note on Brambleclaw: I liked him in the second series but I think after that his character changed. I haven't read after Omen of the Stars either sooo

Favorite: YELLOWFANG (did i yell it loud enough) YELLOWFANG
She's strong, and salty, and takes nothing from anyone. She has personality, but then she turns right around with very heartfelt scenes with Fireheart and Brokenstar! She's strong, but still has a heart, and interesting past! She sucks after the first series though and that makes me very sad!

Least favorite: 100% Mapleshade. The reason people like her is because she's the only female villain, which I appreciate. However, in Crookedstar's promise, she just seems trashy, not really "cool" like people make her out to be. She has no style, just spite and anger for no apparent reason.

I feel like you might enjoy reading Mapleshade’s vengeance my friend

[~Goldensplash~]

heh, maybe. I need to catch up on a lot of books in general right now.

I feel like I'm going to be a bit outdated with my answers because the newest book I've read was The Apprentice's Quest.

My favorite character from the books I've read recently is probably Gray Wing. Gray Wing is just awesome, in my opinion. He raised soooo many young cats, many of which weren't biologically his. He was loyal to his last breath, and his death was one of the saddest I've read in a while (granted, aside from The Apprentice's Quest and Dawn of the Clans, I haven't touched a Warriors book since 2012, but still).

Can't really say who my least favorite is because it's just been so long. However, I don't remember liking Leopardstar very much. She made so many dumb decisions and I just don't think she was a great leader because of that. She was selfish when she decided that the entire lake belonged to Riverclan during the drought, and she basically handed it over to Tigerstar early on.

[I don’t know what I’m doing]

I completely agree with you
