With the new books leading up to things I won’t spoil, I’m really hoping we’ll get some good Riverclan focus. Look, I know most people are in the “Reedwhisker’s super old he shouldn’t be leader!” boat. And that’s fine. Me personally though, I would love a Reedstar, and I think he would be the best suited for the job with his age and experience. Needless to say, I want nothing more than an SE or Novella for him.
There’s so much they could do. Explore his feelings on being the only kit of his siblings to survive. Explore his feelings on the possibility of Mistyfoot and Blackclaw’s relationship and if it turned sour, how that may have affected him growing up. Maybe his father hated half-clan cats and turned on Mistyfoot and Reedwhisker grew to desire to be more accepting and understanding than his father was. Maybe talk about him being saved from drowning twice, once by Firestar and Graystripe and another by Leafpool.
Explore his time as a prisoner in Darktail’s camp, and how he showed alot of defiance and courage even as he was starved, just like his Uncle had in the past. Hell, you could have Stonefur even come to him in a dream during it and inspire Reedwhisker to never show fear in the face of tyranny. Showcase Reedwhisker with his four apprentices! His relationship with his mother and how he’s had to make decisions as a deputy rather than just as her son. Showcase him maybe even falling in love and having kits with Duskfur or something! Or even keep him single and focused on his duties, anything could work!
I would just enjoy a cool story about Riverclan’s deputy, since we get no content of them and Mistystar should kick the bucket soon.

That'd be cool. And it should end with him kicking the bucket

You've said anything perfectly, Moon! I would love for a Reedwhisker super edition. Many people say he has no personality but i see his character as strong-willed, stubborn, loyal, brave, and super dedicated to his Clanmates. There is so many to explore with his character!
His thoughts about Leafpool, his relationships with his clanmates, the internal conflict within his parents, his thoughts as he outlives 3 out of his 4 apprentices, him struggling to be seen as a true RiverClan warrior instead of just the son of a half-clan cat, his thoughts as he loses his littermates, anything! Maybe they could even show an unrequited crush on some cat in RiverClan, and how he learns to just stay as a warrior focused on his duties. Or maybe he settled down and already had kits? His character has so much potential!
Especially, i would prefer a super edition, so they don't rush the book so much by every 2 chapters being a different timeline. I want to see his character in-depth!

I am in agreement with your whole post, it is only too bad that the books cannot seem to remember as much about Reedwhisker as you do.

I do want a Reedwhisker SE or novella, but I do not want him to become leader. I feel like if he does, he’d just live to be ancient just like his mother. But... I guess I wouldn’t complain too much as long as Mistystar kicks the bucket soon. I feel like a younger cat such as Lizardtail or Shimmerpelt should fill the leadership position instead, but as I said before I wouldn’t be too upset about it. I’d also want a RiverClan POV in the next arc. Not as upset as I would be if we get Crowstar *shudders*. At least Mistystar is older than Reedwhisker (which is obvious as he’s her son).

Usually I’d agree but there was hardly a sliver of content for any other Riverclan cat that would make me consider them as leadership material. At least, not compared to Reedwhisker, who I really cheered for in AVOS when he was super defiant to Darktail even after being starved and tortured. I wouldn’t mind a younger leader, but I’d prefer an older on in this case.

I don't think we'll get one as my gut tells me that him and his mother won't live for much longer.

i agree with Rainsplash that they could give him a novella just to kill him off and have him replaced with someone younger than him like brackenpelt, jayclaw, owlnose, lizardtail, etc. as much as i like reedwhisker, i've grown irritated with him just bc the writers forgot about him and now its "too late" to focus on him and make him leader. like u said, he's super super old. and everyone knows how i feel about old characters. i just want all the old characters gone so we can all move on and see new cats. killing off new cats should stop, and killing off old cats should begin.

After watching a video about SE patterns that was uploaded before SqH came out but after we knew the details about it, I was completely convinced that Reedwhisker would be next and I was so, so, excited. RIP my boy Reedwhisker and I hope ew can learn more about him soon in an SE or novella.

Agree, I think he is pretty good SE material and there’s probably a lot to know about him
