The warriors family tree is arguably one of the messiest things about the series so what relationships about who has kits with who, would you change?
ThunderClan:
Darkstripe should not be Willowpelt's son. If his mother's littermate Spottedleaf is young and pretty, why is he so old?
Dustpelt and Ravenpaw would be better off not being RobinFuzzy spawn even though it makes sense genetically because you can't retcon Brindleface being a RobinFuzzy baby at this point and I'd rather not have Dustpelt dating his niece. I'd change their parents to background characters like Dappletail and Runningwind or something.
Sandstorm has no canon parents but she has to come from somewhere so I'd say her mother should be Rosetail and her father could be some background joe like Patchpelt, or even better, she's half-clan with either a rouge, kittypet, or different clan father. Her parents should not be BrindleRed because all that does is make Squirrelflight way too closely related to Bramblestar/Ashfur and Sandstorm reacts to neither of their deaths for this to work and she, nor Brindleface exist in Redtail's novella.
I wouldn't mind Redtail being Ferncloud and Ashfur's father on the other hand, though Brindleface still doesn't exist in his novella. I wouldn't mind a random kittypet being their father either, but the Erin Hunter team seems firm on their decision of it being Whitestorm since he's the only tom to ever interact with them. Ashfur also mentioned in Squirrelflight's Hope that he and Whitestorm were going hunting together and asked if Dustpelt wanted to join them so they do seem to have a relationship of some sort, why else would Whitestorm hang out with an attempted murderer?
Someone else other than Sorrelstripe and Dewnose should have spawned Bayshine and Myrtlebloom, or at the very least I wish Sorrelstripe had kits with a random kittypet or something instead of her cousin.
RiverClan:
Let Curlfeather and Podlight stay fatherless! I don't want a confirmation that Reedwhisker is their dad.
I headcanon that Lakeheart as Pebblefoot's daughter because she's gray and I want Mosspelt and Frogleap's line to continue.
I also wish Hawkfrost had kits before dying because Sasha's genes are to pretty to die out although I don't think he did.
WindClan:
I seriously wish Onestar was not related to Tallstar, he just looks like he's playing favorites based on blood when he made Onestar deputy on his death bed. I would have made Wrenflight unrelated to Tallstar if I could.
I also wish Ashfoot hadn't been Onestar sister, not only because of nepotism but because they make HeatherBreeze and HeatherLion really really weird.
ShadowClan:
I think Snowbird and Ratscar would made more sense as Dawncloud's kits rather than Crowfrost because they were born when she and her mate were actually alive and they have the same pelt colors as her half-brother Blackstar(without the black parts) and brother Volewhisper.
SkyClan:
Pebbleshine's parents should have been anyone except Tinycloud and Sparrowpelt. If you made any other pair of SlyClan cats Pebbleshine's parents, it would not have changed a thing. All TinySparrow do is make Pebbleshine related to Hawkwing and Twigbranch related to Finleap. Why couldn't have her parents been Sagenose and Birdwing instead? That would have saved her family from their inbreeding problems.
