Characters you DON'T feel sorry for?

*screams from the rooftops* clear sky and star flower

*holds up shield and braces for impact*

Shadowsight. 


EDIT: Lol, was going off the thread title. It's not that I'll never feel sorry for him, or that I never did, I just don't right now. It's not even really a him thing, it's more of a "the authors suck at making me sympathize for characters these days" thing. 

BREEEEEEEZEPELT

 I mean, I actually do like Shadowsight, at least in the sense that I don't hate him, lol. I just don't understand all the pity the fans lay on him. Like jeez, reading some of these spoiler tags give you the impression that he's a helpless kit who's been abandoned by all who love him, when in actuality he's entirely responsible for his own actions. You made a bad decision, bro. You get to deal with the consequences now, and I'm not going to feel sorry for you because of it, no matter how hard the author and fans try to make me. 

Agreed that he's gotten more and more annoying as the series has gone on though. I haven't even read past VoS, because I genuinely couldn't stand the protagonists. Bristle and Shadow are fine as people (cats), but they suck as characters. Root is actually a good character but I personally found him incredibly annoying. 

Dovewing. The way I've always looked at the books, even though they're written in the 3rd person, they tend to be biased towards the protagonist at the time. As random as that may seem, it ties into my reasoning pretty well. Dovewing constantly has all these relationship problems involving tiger(heart? idk im tired) and is blind to Bumblestripe. She leads him on the entire time and holds him to these unrealistic comparisons to Tiger just because she's looking for an excuse to stick with Tiger. The books tried to frame it like it was some sort of big moral dilemma, but it really wasn't. She needed to get herself under control and be straight with Bumblestripe from the get go. If that meant telling him she wasn't interested, so be it, but cut the poor guy a break.

(probably an unpopular opinion but idc lol)

Good to know I'm not alone lol. I know a lot of people dislike bumblestripe, but honestly, he isn't as bad of a guy as people make him out to be. At least he moved on and didn't have Ashfur levels of obsession.

Bumblestripe. I mean, I get it, it always hurts to get rejected by one you love, but he wouldn't leave Dovewing alone.

Darkstripe and Sleekwhisker

*throws tomatoes at their pathetic beings*

It's actually pretty common. A lot of people despise her. There's only a few fans that still like her somewhere out there, but they're not very common. I'm one of them lol.

Ashfur, Sleekwhisker, Clear Sky, Star Flower, Needletail, Mapleshade, Bumblestripe, Moonflower, Breezepelt, Tom, Rainflower, Leopardstar, Darkstripe, Onestar, Dovewing, Willow Tail and Raggedstar. Also all of Mapleshade's victims. No, they didn't deserve it but I also can't feel sorry for them.

I feel bad for how Blossomfall felt like she wasn't important to her mother, but she was a bully towards Ivypool before Briarlight even got injured, so that makes my sympathy dwindle for her a little bit.
Cats that people already mentioned are also on my list.

Breezepelt, Moonflower, Willow Tail, Stick, Spottedleaf, Blossomfall, Ashfur, Mudclaw

Rowanstar: Garbage leader that did nothing to stop issues in his own clan. If he wasn't willfully ignorant of growing problems among his cats I would have felt pity for him, but that wasn't the case.

Onestar: He and Rowan are in the same boat as far as I'm concerned, both are cowards and horrible leaders, but Onestar is just worse imo since he's been around longer. Did not care a single ounce when he died.

Sleekwhisker: What exactly is there for us to feel bad about for her? Yeah your leader was garbage, and your clan sucked, but you literally helped kill your own clanmates and several of your own kin, I??

Dovewing: Literally all her "woes me" moments were caused on her own. The bare minimum was being loyal to her clan, and she couldn't even do that. Then she, and Tigertwo, took the cowardly way out, and ran away from their problems. I don't think she's a good mate, mother, clanmate or sister.

Tigerstar: Likewise, he's a trash bag of a deputy, never deserved leadership, and I felt no sympathy for him once he went back into aggressive mode and was super disrespectful to SkyClan. Between him and Dove's behavior in TBC too, I just want them both out of the picture already.

Stoneteller: The one that kidnapped Stormfur, got Feathertail killed, treated his cats like crap and sent them out to die, then threatened to have them killed when they came back. Was horribly xenophobic to the clans, tossed Storm and Brook the first chance he got, and then would have rather let his tribe waste away and die instead of adapt and live. Screw this guy.

Crowfeather: I don't hate him anymore, but I have no pity for him. He neglected his own kit, and avoided his mate simply because it wasn't Leafpool/Feathertail and their kits. It's gross how he used her to get respect back in the clan, and then didn't even treat his son as a son.

Millie: She joined the clans, knew the risk, yet still gets hot with Jayfeather and Graystripe when Briarlight gets hurt. Disrespecting their beliefs, and doubting medicine cats. Then treats her daughters like crap, her ableist behavior made me gag, and the neglect of her kits was gross.

Clear Sky: He killed defenseless cats, queens, and out right abandoned his son. He's a horrible mate, father, and leader and an especially horrible brother. Between abandoning one brother to die, and then actively trying to kill the other, he honestly deserved more than just being chewed out by his mother. He even caused the death of one of the first meddies.

Star Flower: I feel no sympathy for a cat that used Thunder for information, backstabbed him, then stood by and let her father torture her (ironically) future mate, whom she later excuses all the faults of and regresses his development.

Goosefeather: Never liked him not pitied him since the start, and even after this novella I still don't care for him. I can't sympathize with the old coot that disabled a kit, then got his own sister killed, and caused senseless battles and deaths.

Bluestar: Her hypocrisy made me gag, her behavior in her SE was frustrating, and the way she used Thrushpelt, and treated Brightheart will always cement her as a horrible character imo.

Shadowsight: But honestly out of all the characters on this list, next to Crowfeather I tolerate him the most. Only because of the newest book, however, a lot of the mess he's gotten himself into right now is his own fault and his only saving grace as a character is that he's not as bad as his crappy parents.

Appledusk: Cheated on his both of his mates and didn't give a lick about his dead children's names
Oakstar: Tried to use Mapleshade's kits as weapons then exiled them despite them being innocent.
Ravenwing: Knowingly put kits in danger, and then doing nothing while his clan beat and exiled a mother.
Frecklewish: Delusionally pushed her beliefs on others, beat a mother in front of her kits, and left them to drown.
Reedshine: Had no sympathy for a grieving mother, and kissed up to her leader for her cheating mate, pathetic.
