So I wanted to make a poll for Bramblestar's choice of deputy. If Bramble hadn't chosen Squirrelflight, or a first generation cat, nor a cat who's only recently became a mentor, who do you think he'd choose? I'm making an AU and I'm curious as to which cat people would prefer at the time? This also means that the cats listed already had apprentices for quite some time, and if they are picked for my AU, they live through the events of OotS and AVoS, obviously. But that doesn't mean that the first deputy curse still isn't a possibility. The cats I chose all apprenticed other cats that were adults at some point in OotS. Spiderleg mentored Mousewhisker Lionblaze mentored Dovewing Mousewhisker mentored Bumblestripe Whitewing mentored Icecloud Hazeltail mentored Blossomfall Cinderheart mentored Ivypool Also, I left Spiderleg as an option since he was born in between books, during Firestar's quest.

Whitewing as deputy would be pretty fun. I know she's more Firekin, but I really like her.

If it weren't for TBC, I probably would've said Lionblaze. Spiderleg can be too aggressive at times while Whitewing might be too soft, we don't really know enough about either Mousewhisker or Hazeltail to know for sure, so that just leaves Cinderheart. I think she'd be decent.

I voted Spiderleg - if only because I'm interested in his character
Whitewing or Hazeltail would be interesting

In my AU he chooses Whitewing over Squirrelflight, so that’s who I voted for.

Hazeltail tbh, though I honestly would have loved Berrynose getting an apprentice and him continuing on the leader mentors deputy line that TC had going on.

Hazeltail tbh, though I honestly would have loved Berrynose getting an apprentice and him continuing on the leader mentors deputy line that TC had going on. I actually debated that, but I planned to start rewriting from BrS, and I'll be changing a few things, like deaths and romances. However, if I do kill off a character that does happen to have an apprentice, I'll probably give them to Berrynose or Birchfall. There are plenty of other cats that can use apprentices, whether I make them deputy candidates or not.

The poll results for this are pretty interesting, but it does make me feel bad for Lionblaze and Mousewhisker haha. I don't think either, around BrS, were suited for deputyship though, so fair.

Cinderheart. She's levelheaded and assertive, and the times she was in charge of others she did good.

Whitewing because she had some sort of a good personality that could be used for deputyship (even though she's Firekin)

Whitewing. She's loyal, wise, respectable, and just overall a level-headed and loving cat. She would make for a fantastic deputy.

I voted Lionblaze. Although he wasn't good in TBC, it was hard to judge precisely given the circumstances. I don't think Lionblaze has ever done too well with stress, but TBC was over the top, with Bramblestar possibly being dead, Squirrelflight being kidnapped by Ashfur, Ashfur coming back to haunt his family, etc.
I'd like to see Lionblaze work together with Bramblestar as deputy and leader.

I voted for Lionblaze because his and Bramblestar's dynamic after it was revealed that they weren't father and son is still very interesting to me and had some great potential for a more nuanced relationship between the two of them. In this case however, I'm not going to think that the first deputy curse is going to strike Lionblaze down as he was too important for the plot and even Firestar didn't immeadiately die permanently an arc after his time as a protagonist was over. Also, if there can be two Tigerstars from ShadowClan during one series, two Lionstars from ThunderClan should be just as much another possibility in Warriors. ❅Maplefrost❅ , I really hope you don't mind me taking this AU and making Lionblaze deputy and later leader of ThunderClan after Bramblestar had enough time to prove his worth without wanting to be like Firestar. Another point of my AU would be that Bramblestar and Squirrelflight never get back together as a romantic couple and he instead either gets with Daisy, Jessy or Jingo (who could show up and make a memorable comeback or perhaps even replace Jessy's role in Bramblestar's Storm).

Ah, my AU centers around Bramble and Daisy being a thing eventually, around BrS when they bond more. I'm writing Jessy out in general, because she really served no real purpose in that book except for BrambleSquirrel drama. I'm planning a rewrite of the whole series, not like by ever book, but just a general rewrite, with changes here and there, and this is one of them. When it comes to the poll, I'm thinking about making Whitewing deputy, but she won't make it to leadership, I might make her retire, but I think she's a much better option than Squirrelflight atm.

I see. I'm also in agreement with Jessy just being a plot device and rather unecessary outside of that annoying BrambleSquirrel almost love triangle storyline. Squirrelflight becoming deputy in canon also felt a bit overdone to me because she only got the position due to Brambleclaw/star wanting to prove that he had forgiven her. But in my opinion, she didn't need to become deputy for that to be made obvious. BrambleDaisy is a great ship and I'm sure they'll be very happy in your AU. Whitewing is also a good choice for the deputy position but I usually pick Lionblaze as Bramblestar's successor because he's a lot more agressive and impulsive which would be interesting for future stoylines.

Voted Mousewhisker because he had no votes, I like him the best out of the choices, and if he ran ThunderClan things might get a little chaotic which would be fun to read.

Out of the crew here, I immediately disqualify Hazeltail and Mousewhisker because both are so forgettable I can remember basically nothing about them except that they're Daisy-kin and got killed. Whitewing and Spiderleg both are memorable enough that I can remember them but Spiderleg is too unambitious. Whitewing is okay I suppose but she wasn't around that much. That leaves Cinderheart and Lionblaze, both of which are very interesting. Cinderheart especially with her being an alternate of Cinderpelt would be odd to achieve the highest status of warrior. But over all, I think Lionblaze would be more entertaining.
