Buck's Opinions

The requests keep on comin', don't they? But I'll keep going for a little bit.

When the Warriors series began, I liked Onewhisker. He was a young and friendly warrior, and he was one of Firestar's friends outside the Clan.

But once he became Onestar, things got messy, with him suddenly becoming a jerk basically overnight. Because of that, I started liking him less and less. While it's understandable that he doesn't want to be seen as Firestar's "kittypet" to the other Clans, his actions to ThunderClan (like flat-out attacking the camp in the middle of the night) make him seem like a bigger jerk, and it made him seem worse than what they made Mudclaw out to be. And as for the reveal that Darktail is his son...I thought that it was completely out of left field. It wouldn't be like him to refuse to help a kit, let alone his own son (it'd be like Firestar bringing his nephew Cloudtail into ThunderClan), and I thought WindClan (along with ShadowClan) would be too proud to mate with kittypets.

In spite of that, though, Onestar only slightly redeems himself by mutual-killing Darktail, fixing the mistakes he's made. I still don't like him, but that moved him up from "hated" characters to just "dislike".
