Well, other than the fact that Snowfur somewhat grew up with Thistleclaw and his sisters being her close friends, she seemed to have a very open minded personality, and was able to get along with alot of cats no matter what temperments they had. She seemed kind and understanding, and probably did admire Thistleclaw's abilities. Thistleclaw was, after all, a naturally skilled cat even before the Dark Forest stuff was added in. He became a warrior earlier for his skills in fighting.
Snowfur, more than anything, probably thought she saw something in Thistleclaw, more than his vices and aggression, and I do genuinely, genuinely think that Thistleclaw saw something in her too. I still, to this day, think they did really love eachother. This being said, Snowfur could have also found admiration in a strong cat, such as Thistleclaw and of course, her sister, Bluefur, who was a strong cat as well.

Maybe Snowfur is one of those people who tries to see the good in cats. I think lots of people in real life fall for someone's kind personality and looks. And when they show their true colors it's hard for them to let go. All they see is the person they fell in love with. This is personally my own theory as to why Snowfur likes him still. I think it's sweet, but at the same time, it makes her look foolish since him being a total arrogant prick was obvious.

Snowfur ended up dying because she was battle hungry and chasing Shadowclan cats over the Thunderpath while outnumbered in a reckless way. She and Thistleclaw weren't so different at all despite what Bluefur's biased viewpoint would tell you. Even Bluefur admits that she's concerned about more cats dying like Snowfur did with battle hunger.
It's easy to see why they'd like each other. Besides, Thistleclaw clearly cared deeply for her and lavished her with attention. It seems like a good sort of match. Thistleclaw might be a bit scruffy, but he's brave and waits on her dutifully, so she probably loved him for that. I'm sure she also admired in some ways his aggression.

I guess thistleclaw underrated her too. since he described her as soft. I don't think it was underrating so much as him having a rose colored view of her. Remember, he wants to blame Bluefur for her death in order to have something to focus his pain onto. If it's just because of Snowfur's own carelessness and recklessness, then he would have to hate her, and it's obvious he doesn't wan to do that. When people die, everyone thinks the best of them. Thistleclaw expressed that by thinking that Snowfur was a soft hearted angel who could never have made a stupid and violent choice and end up dying because of it.

As the others said, I think they had a lot more alike than was really shown through Blue's bias lenses. They really did seem to be a genuine couple, and in love with one another. Snowfur probably saw something in Thistleclaw that no one else saw, really no different than Goldenflower to Tigerstar, or Tigerstar and Sasha. Imo I don't think villains are incapable of being in love, or having that sort of down to Earth feeling. I think it makes them more realistic even, and not some evil force incapable of having any sort of feelings at all. It is sad how things worked out in the end though. Thistle did grieve for Snowfur, and was overprotective of Whitekit after even, and blamed Blue for what happen. He did care about them, but in the end, he died and eventually found himself in the Dark Forest for his deeds. While his kin is in StarClan, they'll be forever separated because of that. I guess this is why I liked seeing fanart of older Whitestorm with his father, especially since he takes after his mother more. They contrast nicely.

Why does Snowfur like Thistleclaw? Maybe I don't understand because I'm a depressive introvert like Bluestar and am a liberal. Why does she like him? He wasn't really described as attractive. He was fluffy looking and generally the attractive cats are described as sleek and the art displays them as such. The one exception being Dovewing. He was also a kit when Snowfur started flirting with him so its hard to gage that attractiveness. He had a bad temper, he was rude, too conservative, and kind of a bully. What was there to like? I understand why Thistleclaw would like Snowfur despite her being "too soft". Children are flattered when someone older treats them like they are older than they actually are. Snowxthistle early on was similar to a 13 year old telling a 9 year old how cool they are and that they wanted to date them. A 9 year old can easily get enamored with that treatment. but... why did Snowfur like him? Actually Thistleclaw is two moons younger than Snowfur so it isn't as creepy as FireXSpotted and LeopardXPine. And they actually make a really cute couple. If only we can see SnowXThistle in Snowfur's POV instead of Bluestar's.

Are you going to tell me thistleclaw is a liberal by any standard. Are any warriors really? They maintain closed borders as a standard that are marked in blood and strength and the very idea of progress seems foreign to most of them. Bluestar's not exactly any paragon of it either given her hilarious justification for Skyclan leaving being that there weren't enough trees.

Snowfur has always come off as the type to always see the good in cats. He could be the most disgusting nasty killer in the Clans and she wouldn't view him any different.
Not to mention the only cats who saw the danger he posed were Bluefur and Sunstar anyway. There's no really no reason why Snowfur would suspect that her mate wasn't who she thought he was.

He was popular and well-liked in his clan and Snowfur acted basically exactly the same as he did. Mudclaw was also really popular despite being basically the same. Blackstar is a literal ex-war criminal who got off light. Leopardstar was more than willing to shut up and let Tigerstar kill half-clan cats out of pride.

She probably saw something in him that no one else did and wanted him for that. Because she died, that part of him died with her and he became evil.

I guess thistleclaw underrated her too. since he described her as soft. Was she really bloodthirsty though? Because moments before she died Bluestar told her about her relationship with Oakheart and Snowfur was furious with Bluestar when she found out. So was she really bloodthirsty or was she just really angry and decided to take it out on the ShadowClan cats? I personally lean more toward the latter. Mostly because it's the only instance of Snowfur attack aggressively with wild abandon.
