In a series with literally hundreds of characters across generations, there are bound to be a ton of cats who have no real importance to the story whatsoever. These are the type of cats who show up in one book and then never again, or who exist only to die very quickly after their introduction; or who hang around in the allegiances for a while and then mysteriously vanish without a trace.
I like to call these cats 'nothing characters', since more often than not, there's absolutely nothing to them asides from a name and description. Maybe they'll get a line or two of dialogue, but never anything substantial. I've acquired a few favorites over the years:
Sunstrike - She had a very pretty name and description, and I wish they did more with her because of that. Why couldn't she have had a bigger role as Breezepelt and Antpelt's friend? She was a WindClanner and trained in the Dark Forest with them. Or if she had to die, maybe Breezepelt could have been ordered to kill her as a test of loyalty.
Spiderfoot - Spiderfoot supposedly was a ShadowClan warrior in PO3, but he only shows up in Battles of the Clans. During the four-way battle in Eclipse, he gets scared and runs off to hide in an abandoned twoleg nest. Some RiverClan warriors find him and bully him a bit, but ultimately decide not to kill him. He's never seen again; Kate says that he may have become a kittypet. During the whole Missing Kits fiasco, Su claimed that Crowfrost was his littermate, which I honestly really like the idea of. Maybe Crowfrost was teased for his brother being so cowardly, and became a very competent warrior to compensate.
Diesel - This guy is pretty obscure, only ever appearing in the Warrior's Return manga. But I think he's absolutely hilarious. He's a loner who lives at a truck stop, and he constantly calls Graystripe "bro". He also competes with Graystripe for Millie's affection and the timing lines up perfectly for him to have been the father of her kits... do with that information what you will.
Egg - Who doesn't love Egg? Seriously, where did our boy go? Did he get scrambled? Or maybe he was poached? The world may never know.

Wavepaw and Cypresspaw - They were sweet apprentices who appeared once, had a couple of lines, and were never heard of again. I wish we could have seen more of them, especially since they had pretty unique names.
Greenflower - She was a queen that appeared in Forest of Secrets, but never again. I also absolutely love her name, and design, i don't know why she had to fade away from the series.

My favorite nothing characters are Lionheart and Kestrelflight, but compared to the others in this thread, they're practically protagonists.

Jingo.
One book is all it took and I was in love with her character.
She never even shows up or is mentioned ever again.

Redtail. I guess he technically got a novella but we've disowned it so it doesnt count.
I liked Frostfur too.

I loved Nightsky's name. It evokes such a nice and soothing mental image for me. I liked Redtail's character. This is why I liked his novella in spite of the massive error there. Marigoldkit, Mintkit, Hopekit, Wishkit, and Bluebellpaw all had excellent names and it's a shame that they all died before reaching adulthood.

Runningbrook had a pretty name and I would have liked to seen more of Thistleheart. I also like Sedgecreek.

Fluttering Bird, it was cool seeing a super wise kit and her putting Clear Sky in his place was great.

ripplestar from code of the clans. interesting concept, kinda wish we knew more about him (like how he could convince his warriors to attack queens and elders in an unprovoked ambush with nothing to gain). makes me wonder what his leadership was like.

Here's a few, Larkwing of WC: She was a Dark Forest trainee along with some of her Clan-mates, like Breezepelt, I liked how she and the other trainees were able to redeem themselves after fighting the weasels in CT. Blazefire and Cinnamontail: They were formally guardian cats and I really like them both, Blazefire was adorable as a kit when he's always by Spire's side and Cinnamontail has a really nice name. Minnowtail: I like her and I ship her with Mousewhisker and I want her to be RC leader.

I liked Icewing, mainly because of her name. I think it's very pretty.
I also liked Nightwing from ShadowClan because Nightwing is one of my favorite DC heroes. And, what we saw of her was interesting and sad. My heart felt for her when she lost her Clanmate on the journey to the lake.

Foxwhisker, just because one of my first ocs (and my username) share the name. He was in one of the Warrior Code stories, I think it was the one about helping kits even if they aren’t from your clan.
I have always liked Harveymoon but I’m not exactly sure why, he has a pretty cool name (imo) so maybe that’s why. I also really like Sunnypelt because of her name.

i really like Hazelwing for some reason and idk why, i think part of it was the prefix since i find the Hazel- prefix really pretty in general
i also really liked Ivytail (ShC) a lot, she seemed interesting to me for some reason and idk why either. i think it was also partially the prefix

I thought Runningwind was a really interesting character since his name stands out so much in the days of series 1 Thunderclan. It's a shame Tigerstar killed him before he could get any proper development, and then he was never mentioned again.

oh and pre-TR deadfoot. Not that TR ruined him or anything but I liked him as a background character before that

Minnowkit was really cute. I dunno about Minnowtail. Barely remember her to be honest. I liked Runningwind, Redtail, Brindleface, Frostfur, Goldenflower, and a few. Honestly, I liked Ivytail too, because for some reason, her name was the prettiest. Both ShadowClan and RiverClan, but more Shadow. Hazeltail, Foxleap, Rosepetal, etc.

Minnowtail, who's pretty popular for a minor background character from another clan
Whitewater. Fell in love with her the moment I read her description in the allegiances.
Curlypaw. LOVED her personality and thought her name was super cute; I couldn't wait to see what her warrior name would be but we all know how that turned out
Firefern and Stormheart. Still salty that they both got killed off. I was even hoping that one of them might be deupty/leader one day but it just wasn't meant to be
I'll always have a soft spot for Snookthorn and Egg
And of course, Lightning Stripe. I'll never stop hoping for a Lightning Stripe SE or a sequel arc to DOTC starring her as the main protagonist.
