This thread is for Nightcloud love only. If you want to talk about how much you hate her not the tread for you.
For one I love her name, it’s super pretty. She’s also a good loyal cat and most certainly not a terrible mother although she isn’t a perfect one either. She was awesome in CT & The Raging Storm in my opinion. I think she’s a well rounded character. Her fight with Crow & Leaf was definitely not her best moment but apart from that I think she’s great.

Honestly, I think the fight with Crow and Leaf was definitely us seeing her at her worst times, no one in that situation was right. Lionblaze instigated a fight with Breezepelt, Breezepelt challenged him and the two of them were ripping into one another. Leafpool tried to put Crowfeather on the spot for kits she never told him about for years, and then Crowfeather not only did nothing to separate his sons but also rejected his son again and showed he was still bitter over the breakup. And Nightcloud ends up dragging him away from Leafpool, angry her husband was still floundering with his ex literally in front of her and his family, lol. Honestly...they were all pretty rotten in that situation and it was probably some of their lowest moments.
However, I do think that a lot has changed since, including Nightcloud. I personally can see where she was coming from. She was getting older in her age, and she wanted a family she could nurture and love, and though that Crowfeather felt some way for her. However when that didn't work out she obviously still wanted him to love their kit at least, and that, unfortunately, didn't happen either, so their relationship became bitter over time. You can see that Nightcloud does try to make things work, and tries to keep her family together, however, her struggle kinda ended up being futile when the secret got out. And now they were the main target for clan scrutiny thanks to her husband's scandalous past.
It's bad enough she had to practically try and make up to Breezepelt for Crowfeather's neglect, but now her son was doing horrible things and breaking the code. Despite all that, in the end, she still tried to support him, like Heathertail, and wanted to see the best in him, even when his clanmates and his own father wanted him dead.
I found it interesting to see Nightcloud from Crowfeather's point of view, she was a well-respected she-cat in WindClan, and knew how to hold her own in a fight or confrontation. She's was skilled at hunting and would defend WindClan's honor but also her family's. And she obviously cared about her son, even if she became a helicopter parent due to Crowfeather's distant behavior. She acknowledges Breezepelt's shortcomings and mistakes but still wants to give him a change, which opens Crowfeather's eyes, making him realize how much he constantly doubted his son and took his family for granted. He realizes that he could have had a better life if he hadn't let his bitterness over Leafpool take over his feelings and mind.
I like that he realized his own problems and then tried to be a better father, along with a better mate, even though they're no longer together. I'm also glad Nightcloud and him stayed on good terms and remained mature about their relationship, and are able to stay around to see their grandchildren even. But I do hope that Nightcloud finds someone that would love her for her eventually, even if she's on the older side, I feel like she deserves better, kinda like Daisy. It's why I prefer her and Mudclaw being a thing in AU's.

She's a great warrior to WindClan, a good mother to Breezepelt, and I'm happy she and Crowfeather agreed to be friends, even if they will never love each other as mates.

She was fantastic in CT and I honestly think she gets so much hate simply because people refuse to admit that Crowfeather was genuinely a horrible and neglectful father. “But he has emotional issues and can’t trust easily!!!” is not an excuse for neglect, sorry. Villainizing Nightcloud as a what-aboutism is the most annoying thing to me.
There are just as many if not more scenes of Nightcloud being a dedicated Warrior and compassionate cat than of her being bitter over her circumstances. It was very clear that Breezepelt loved his mother alot. She loved him too, and their family is much happier now.

Didn't think much of her in main series, but I loved CT and the portrayal of Nightcloud. She is definitely more mature than Crowfeather lol
It's a feel-good pick me up with a divorced couple still growing together as good friends.

I'm very glad that she is no longer portrayed as her just being bitter over the CrowLeaf drama and their kits. Her more recent positive appearances in the AVoS arc and the TBC arc (main series) were also great to see and the way she acted in her former mate's SE made me truly appreciate her as a character. Nightcloud is a good warrior and cat who wasn't always treated fairly by others which (understandibly) made her become rather resentful towards those cats for a while.
