Which background characters do you think deserve more screentime?
I'm just going to be listing AVoS/TBC characters because they're the most fresh in my mind
AVoS: Lilyheart, Snowbush, Larksong, Leafshade, and Honeyfur Sparkpelt, Juniperkit, and Dandelionkit (I know the kits are dead but Alderheart is a med cat so. And they could at least be mentioned more than once) Sandstorm, Molewhisker, and Cherryfall after TAQ Smokehaze and Brindlewing Jayfeather gets a lot of screentime and I don't really care about Lionblaze but I would like it if they had more of a familial relationship with Alder and Spark, or at least acknowledge they have the same parents...
TBC: Plumstone, Eaglewing, and Shellfur Daisy, she's getting a novella and I don't think she's been mentioned once this arc?? Lightleap and Pouncestep Spireclaw, maybe also Hollowspring and Sunbeam but him especially Kitescratch and Turtlecrawl after LS (they did get some screentime in VoS which was nice but still) Wrenpaw Needleclaw
Both: Stormcloud The entirety of RiverClan
Well....that's a lot. But there sure are a lot of background characters who had potential :/

Yes some of the characters just barely get mentioned at all in a single book. If we could see other StarClan cats instead of the same ones over and over again, I would be happy, because right now I hate almost all of the mains that we see all the time (Bluestar, Yellowfang, etc). Let's see the more recent dead.

Sandstorm definitely needed more page time. I was really hoping she'd be Alderheart's spirit guide after she died, but nope! She doesn't even appear after the first book. I also would've loved to have seen him interact with Lionblaze and Jayfeather as brothers.
I agree about Lilyheart as well. I would've really liked to have seen at least one scene where she talks to Violetshine after she escapes the Kin, even if the latter may not have remembered her much.
I was also hoping Spireclaw would at least be a supporting character since he was named after Spiresight. I think it'd be cute if he ever became a close friend of Shadowsight.

Can’t think of too many rn, but aside from the entirety of Riverclan, Longtail deserves far better and blinding his character was a waste of potential. Thrushpelt should’ve at least survived until TPB, and Nightstar should’ve been given nine lives.

You know, I wouldn't mind a Sandstorm Super Edition.

Hold the phone, actually, have we even had a Sandstorm POV?

Reedwhisker Birchfall and Whitewing in Omen of the Stars Shadowsight's sisters WindClan cats who aren't Crowfeather, Breezepelt, and Nightcloud. Reedclaw, she's had very little screentime compared to her brothers.
