I know it's not a big deal, but I kind of dislike the fact that Mousewhisker and Hazeltail mentored Bumblestripe and Blossomfall, but instead of Berrynose mentoring Briarlight, it was Thornclaw. It doesn't make much sense to me, why couldn't they have all three of Daisy and Smoky's kits mentor all three of Graystripe and Millie's? Instead of randomly throwing Thornclaw into there? It would have also made it where Berrynose had an apprentice, which would have made the fact that no one even said that he never had an apprentice, make way more sense.
If I remember correctly, didn't someone on the team say that Berrynose actually had an apprentice even though it was never shown? I bet it was that apprentice who appears in Goosefeather's Curse. I'm joking. Who do you think this mystery apprentice was who Berrynose mentored?

The Erins just didn't want to give him a single apprentice for no real reason, it was ridiculous. Honestly wished he had apprenticed someone like Briarlight, or Finleap, etc.

It seems like all they care about for the most part when it comes to mentors/apprentices is shipping cats together, like it made no sense that Larksong, a cat who isn't even six moons older than Finleap, would mentor him over an older and more experienced warrior. That's not as bad as having two ex-SkyClan cats, straight out of the apprentice's den, one who CONSTANTLY snuck out, and even left for whoever long she was gone for, putting her whole clan in worry be mentors over more experienced and trustworthy cats. I am sick and tired of all the focus this series places on love relationships over ALL other ones, and the worst part is, that most of them are forbidden love ships. It's become pretty predictable, if cats mentor together, they're going to become mates, or if they're already showing interest in each other, they're going to mentor together, even though other cats would make more sense.

I wish Briarlight could have been his apprentice.
I also find it weird that Thornclaw got with his apprentice's littermate.

They also did that with Dustpelt and Ferncloud, since he mentored her littermate. It's also weird when cats get with cats their littermates mentored, like Sneezecloud becoming mates with his brother's apprentice Havenpelt.

OneWhite is weird for this reason. I also don’t understand why people ship Tigerstar and Darkstripe for this reason.

What makes OneWhite even weirder, is that in one book she's an apprentice, and in the very next book she's a queen. Though, some time might have passed between then? The two books in question are Rising Storm and A Dangerous Path.

Finleap I think would have made the most sense, given that both of them have the same disability. Larksong seemed like a good mentor to Finleap, but Berrynose would have made the most logical sense and could have helped him get accustomed to not having a full tail. It's seriously such a wasted opportunity.

I was shocked when Berrynose didn't end up mentoring Finleap. It was such a perfect set up--outsider from ThunderClan who joins and lost part of their tail. Larksong was foster brothers with Twigbranch...so I feel like him mentoring Finleap was a weird choice. They are all within the same age group to have been apprentices together.

I didn't even think about them both being born outside of ThunderClan, but that would have been another way for them to relate to each other! Like, they could have had a scene where Finleap is having trouble hunting, because he misses home, and Berrynose gives him a pep talk or something. Maybe Finleap would have felt more secure in TC and not flipped out on Twigbranch about kits. I think the only choice the team had in mind when they set up who mentored these cats is Spark x Lark, because you gotta keep going this route until everyone in all five clans are Firekin. The last line is a bit of an exaggeration, but I'm tired of certain characters being overlooked in favor of others, especially when those other cats could help fix this family bush just a little.

I think it's pretty unfair for Berrynose that he didn't get Briarlight.

It sucks even more knowing that Berrynose is dead now and that he'll never get an apprentice of his own. Poor guy deserved better.
