Do you think Needletail is a well written character? I used to think she was really great when I first read AVoS and liked where she was coming from, but after rereading this series... something about her feels off. It feels like something isn't finished about her, and I think it's because the Erins killed her off too early. I still don't think she's all that bad though, but she really could've been written better. It's a heavy no for me, unfortunately.

I think she's well-written. But I also think she's an awful cat who I personally find completely unlikable. Her character is consistent

Yes, although I wish she could have lived longer. And I wished it had been from her POV, especially Shattered Sky, where her mindset really seemed to start changing.

Good characters don't need to be good people (or in this case... cats lol). Characters in Warriors are always so clearly morally aligned, so Needletail was a super refreshing change. I personally love her chaotic ambiguity.

As much as i dislike her, i'll have to admit she's a very complex and well-written character.

I think she is, but she was wasted, like Darktail, and killed off way to early. The Erins could have done a lot with her if she had lived.

Nah, not really. She wasn’t very complex to me. Just a really crappy cat with air in her head. She treated Violetshine like her property, and her “redemption” fell to nothing when she still blamed everyone but herself after her death. She’s really not that great in terms of character consistency or genuine motivation, like Mudclaw is for example.

Taking a break from the forums because my cat died. Will probably be back mid to late October.

I'm neutral on Needeltail as a character but I did like how she was written differently than other rebellious cats before her. The writing team really went all out with this one and probably could have done a lot more with her storyline if she wasn't killed off mid arc just like Darktail shortly after.

I think Needletail was written well because she wasn't a generic rebellious cat and really went full out with the rebellion, which turned to bite her back in the end. Her arc was pretty well written imo.

I think she was wonderfully written but she's like my second favourite character so I could be biased

That's partly what made her so unlikeable for me.

She's a wonderfully written one. She's so very real I think that there are Needletail's out there. I found her ending very tragic. She's also filled with personallity which I appriciate.
