Anyone else fond of Goosefeather? While I definitely didn't respect what he did to Crookedstar, I still found him a very intriguing character who I can sympathize with. Will have to reread GC sometime.

I'm extremely fond of Goosefeather, he is one of the characters I feel the most sympathy with in the series. This poor boy, just wanted to be a warrior, to be like his father Rooktail, but lame-o StarClan was like, "Lol, what if we gave this power to a kit, that will ruin his life?" So, in true Warriors fashion (unless you're in WindClan) he had to become a medicine cat.
Not only that, but he was bullied by Stormtail, and to make matters worse, his own dumb stuck up, rude, sister didn't even stand up for him. I can't remember a time where she stood up for him. And like, he gets attacked by a badger, and she's like, "You should be able to fight it off." Or something like that. Telling that to a young cat with NO warrior training.
Ever since he was a kit, he was treated like..dung. Seriously, the ONLY cats who were nice to him were like Mumblefoot, Larksong, and Chiveclaw, then in Bluestar's Prophecy, Mumblefoot hates him for some reason.
Also, he was just trying to be friendly to Snowkit and Bluekit, and then there's Snobflower, just rolling her eyes at everything he says. I'm sorry, I know she's a beloved character in the fandom, but I can't stand her.
Anyway, back to Goosefeather.
He's not perfect, he's made mistakes, like misreading the omen, that got his sister killed, which reminds me, instead of comforting him, that he lost his ONLY sister, everyone starts blaming him, that must have shattered him.
Another thing that makes me angry, is the level of disrespect from his clanmates, yeah, he wasn't doing his duties as well as he once was, but he had been their medicine cat since he was FOUR MOONS OLD. He needs some dang respect.
He's been through so much, and EVERYONE treats him like crap, and it's ughhh.
Sorry for the long/ranty post lol, in short, I am extremely fond of Goosefeather, so much in fact, that no book enticed more anger in me, than Bluestar's Prophecy, because of how he was treated.

I love Goosefeather and am very lax with his behavior because StarClan actually drove him insane.
Imagine seeing the future, which could be the distant future where you're dead, and you can't do anything to change it and your whole clan disrespects you and acts like you're crazy - including your own sister. Like, he was doomed from the start
I think Jayfeather and Lionblaze are the only ones who have truly been happy about the powers StarClan has given them because it screws over everyone else (Yellowfang and Goosefeather to name two)
