and his name is
Reedwhisker of Riverclan
Son of Mistystar (and many people headcanon his father as blackclaw, if anyone even remembers him either) and current deputy.
literally NO ONE talks about him. he hardly has appearances in the books. he is hardly mentioned either. and no one in the fandom knows or cares about him. he is mistystar's SON. he is the current DEPUTY. you'd think he'd have SOME level of relevence or importance just like mistystar, but he DOESN'T
this is just upsetting! I'd rather riverclan have an SE about him and not leopardstar
if leopardstar's useless SE doesn't showcase reedwhisker at LEAST more than a few sentences or off handed name mentions, i'll be VERY upset
edit: went through his wiki page. i have exaggerated how little he is mentioned. he has VERY MINIMAL mentions in the recent books. it's still not enough though, so my point still stands.

Agreed 100% and the worst part is, all of the other new deputies recently got SEs, Squirrelflight, Crowfeather, Tigerheart, Hawkwing, but not poor Reedwhisker, instead it's going to Leopardstar, to tell the same tale we've heard hundreds of times before.
I will be upset as well! Reedwhisker deserves more love, but they can't even remember his age, nevermind the fact that both Firestar AND Leafpool saved him from drowning

At this point I rather he die so that he can stop hogging the deputy spot with his cardboard ass.

The only other Riverclan cats with personalities are Mothwing, Mistystar, and Willowshine RIP Riverclan Unfortunately idk. Maybe if we're lucky they'll pull a rando out of a hat and develop them from a nobody to a somebody like Harestar was. Since they failed to do that with Reedwhisker. But alas, only if we're lucky. As it stands, Riverclan is doomed.

As it stands, Riverclan is doomed. as much as i like and care about riverclan, and like reedwhisker, i actually have to agree. i dont see why riverclan cant pull a windclan and pick a random background to make into a deputy/leader with actual personality. harespring/harestar is a perfect example of this working out.

Its cause they haven't shown interest in RiverClan in general in a long time. And I'm sure they think an SE will pacify fans again for a while longer. I'm tired of them having the best clan concept but now falling into obscurity ever since the lake move and Leopard's death.

The sad thing is, the SE will probably be about the same thing most of the other RiverClan content is about, Tigerclaw and the trouble he brought to RiverClan. Tigerclaw drama and forbidden relationships seem to be all there is to RiverClan, and it's just sad.

Yep, they had potential to be more, but it just fell flat. RiverClan should have stayed behind, four trees, four clans remember? XD

I agree! It's a real shame he doesn't appear that often. He's the deputy of RiverClan as well as kin to several major characters (Mistystar, Bluestar, Crookedstar, hell he's even cousins with Stormfur and Feathertail), you'd think he would play a more prominent role. Apparently not I guess. He has the bare outline of a personality (if even that). It's honestly disappointing that we don't see more of him. We don't see Cloverfoot all too often, but she's still got a more distinguished personality than the guy who's been in since the first arc.
He's pretty old now too, so unfortunately we may not see him gain any prominence aside from the occasion singular mention in a book. It's a shame.

It's a shame. cloverfoot only gets more as a character because shadowclan is way more important and has a POV via shadowsight...it's just not fair... i wish reedwhisker could have kits just to carry the line and give us new cats to look forward to.

I wish he had a personality. He's related to several main characters and he's deputy! Even whoever ShadowClan's deputy is gets more attention than he does!

To make matters even worse, Cloverfoot has a hoard of siblings, most of whom have gotten some pagetime, Berryheart even got the manga at the end of Tigerheart's Shadow, and then there's Reedwhisker, the ONLY surviving kit of his litter, and he gets jack squat. And Snowbird x Scorchfur aren't even as important as Mistystar, all they do is complain about everything.

Scorchfur and Snowbird are vocal background characters with more personalty than Mistystar has had in arcs. Ever since Leopardstar died and RiverClan was moved out of action from ThunderClan because of the lake, they've been utterly boring. The only notable cats were the literal medicine cats. Mistystar is a leader, and I've always said she was staler than a piece of bread, but now she's even worse since she's treating her own warriors like trash, not even Mothwing wants to put up with her anymore. The only few other background characters in RC that were even remotely relevent were Minnowtail because of Mousewhisker, and Beetlewhisker, who stood up to Brokenstar. Scorchfur's family went through a lot, so it's really not even surprising that he has some relevancy as a senior warrior in ShadowClan along side Snowbird. Berryheart was exiled and came back, Beenose was killed by Darktail, Yarrowleaf was exiled and returned after her kits were kitnapped, Bluebellkit didn't even make it to apprenticeship, Frond, Gull, and Cone all had to escape ShadowClan at one point to seek sanctuary. And Cloverfoot's other sibling, Rippletail, literally just decides to remain a kittypet after Darktail ruined ShadowClan. Scorch and Snow's family didn't have it easy, but they had to deal with plenty of events in their lives that made them much more interesting than Misty and Reed. Cloverfoot herself was also relevant before she even became a deputy, so I'm not sure why people think she was plucked out of a hat out of no where. Cloverfoot was one of the apprentices that agreed with Needletail, joined the kin, realized how horrible Darktail was, and then escaped. She also felt guilty for her actions and rejoined ShadowClan later after her exile, and was noted to be one of the hardest working warriors in ShadowClan when it came to rebuilding. And was actually nice to Alderheart while he stayed in ShadowClan healing Puddleshine, they formed a good friendship. She also wasn't even the first choice deputy, like Juniperclaw, who at least had some connection to Tigertwo. She was promoted for her honesty and faith, and even after becoming deputy was noted to be a voice of reason during all the mess going on in the current arc. Clover, Scorch and Snow aren't to blame for Misty and Reed's irrelevancy. Especially considering the majority of RiverClan isn't even relevant at all, and limelight on ether of these characters wouldn't do much anyways.

❅Maplefrost❅Oh yeah, I know this, I love the Snowbird x Scorchfur family, I think they're some of the best parents in the series, and I'm a Scorchfur defender. I wasn't serious about my post, I'm just bitter about Reedwhisker lol.

This makes me think...
Leafpool saved Reedwhisker from drowning in TNP, imagine if that turned out to be a forbidden romance
RiverClam will be saved from irrelevancy!

And then Reedwhisker saves Crowfeather, and they all fall for each other, so there's still drama, but not the standard love triangle drama, because they'll all be in a poly relationship with each other, the only drama will be the fact that they're from different clans, and Leafpool is a med-cat. It'd give both WindClan AND RiverClan relevancy, RiverClan relevancy that isn't Mothwing.
