[So I was hospitalized for a few days, but no worries, everything is under control, I'm back home, and I'm okay and my treatment is going well lol.]
On another note I thought I'd come back and open up with a new Poll.
Based on the preview of chapters we got so far, who do you guys think will have the most interesting character arc out of the three new POV's? Kinda curious cause I want to keep doing this kinda of poll as each book release comes out and record the data, so we can see how opinions change over time.

❅Maplefrost❅ Glad to see you back and to know that your're alright. This is a splendid thread idea! I voted for Sunbeam because she got the most interesting preview chapter, in my opinion. With lots of already established relationships but still many dynamics to actually be explored further in this new arc and I'm excited to see it all unfold. It's already interesting to observe how a lot of fans (myself included) were the most excited for Frostpaw but now think her chapter was actually the most underwhelming out of the three protagonists so far. But who knows what will happen to her in future books (the blurb for Sky already sounds promising in this regard). Flamepaw meanwhile, has the most interesting rather strained family bonds that I'll be watching with anticipation of what might be done with it (especially him and his mother Sparkpelt though).

Glad you're okay <3
Honestly, Frostpaw's my favourite but I did think that she had the least going on in her preview. However, she is most likely going to play an important role in RiverClan's tragedy and will, if the Erins and writing team decide "Y'know, let's bring back character arcs that affect the plot" then I feel Frostpaw will have an interesting character arc, to say the least. Hopefully the Erins don't sideline the RiverClan protagonist the fandom has been waiting like 19 years for.
Sunbeam and Flamepaw seem a lot more personally focused while Frostpaw is story focused. I'm curious to see how their roles will play out. While I did enjoy her chapter, I feel like I'm least excited for Sunbeam's arc...? I'm really excited to see Flamepaw's arc and I hope it has to do with his family.
I voted for Frostpaw overall but they all seem promising.

Still hoping for Frostpaw to become better. Flamepaw is already pretty compelling and I'm not sure what to think about Sunbeam, so my vote goes to Frostpaw because I want her to have the best character arc.

I hope you're feeling better now Maple!
Sunbeam because she seems super nice and her relationships are interesting. I can't wait to see how they'll develop.

Glad that you're safe and doing well!
I think they all have lots of potential, but Flamepaw with his troubles, worries, and strained family relationships currently seem like they have the most potential to give him an arc that will appeal and be interesting to me personally, so I picked him.

Hope you're doing better now Maple!
Personally, I'm hoping for Flamepaw. Him feeling inadequate and trying to live up to the legacy of his ancestors while dealing with his strained relationship between his biological family and his relationships with his foster family is interesting to me. I have high hopes for him!
Sunbeam's a close second, given her relationship with Lightleap and I feel she's going to play an important role in the reformation of the warrior code. Not sure what to think about Frostpaw as I didn't find her interesting or compelling, but we'll see if that changes in the books.

Welcome back, Maple! Hope you're doing okay! And for me, hopefully Sunbeam. I normally don't care for ShadowClan, so that's saying alot coming from me.

Thank you for all the get well wishes, I appreciate it. Also, I'm genuinely surprised at how much people are enjoying Sunbeam so far? Because I remember more people were excited for Frostpaw and Flamepaw prior to the previews, so that's already an interesting shift tbh.

While I like Sunbeam's more inner conflict so far I'm worried soon the team will stop finding ideas for her and her POV will end up like Alderheart where it goes from sorta relatable and interesting to just nothing by book 3 max.
Frostpaw has the most going for her as it's implied RiverClan is a key player this arc, but I'm terrified it'll be a mess. But seeing as it's so far the primary focus I'll go with her. I really wanna say Sunbeam but knowing how this works Frostpaw is my best bet.
I'm interested in what Flamepaw will have to do with all of this because currently he has family drama but again, it could fall off eventually or the plot line could end and not possibly be stretched out for 6 books. I also think they may kill off Sparkpelt in this arc if his story gets convoluted or very saturated for dramatic intent.

I feel like Sunbeam's arc is gonna be a lot more external than the other two. I don't think she will change that much but the characters around her(namely Lightleap) will massively, and we will see this change unravel through her POV. I think it could be suuuuper interesting if they went down this route.
I feel like Frostpaw has the most potential to fall into moral ambiguity given the situation in Riverclan and how she sees herself as "the medicine cat Riverclan needs". She's probably going to end up spinning a web of lies to try and keep the peace.
