𝐛𝐥𝟒𝐜𝐤𝐬𝐨𝐥 That would be cool to see Sleekwhisker again, especially if she gets what she deserves. To try what again? His revenge or joining a clan? XD His revenge because he literally cannot let it go c: I can understand that, poor guy, he never was given a fair shot, I'd be peeved too.

I don't dislike Hollyleaf but can understand why people would. Being someone who has Tigerstar I as a favorite character I would be insane to not be able at criticizing other cats I adore in this series. I like her so much more other than "relating" to Hollyleaf. I loved reading about her ambition to be important, realizing that she's not happy as a medicine cat, her loyalty to the code, her love for her brothers, and her forgiveness towards Leafpool and Squirrelflight. She was the first one to forgive them, and on her own deathbed, she was glad she got to know Leafpool. I genuinely can't understand why some people say she's "bland". I understand why some people may see Hollyleaf as boring, as she revolves around the warrior code a lot, but there's so much more to her than that. She had to deal with self-loathing after Leafpool betrayed her and overcame that problem after a much-needed time away from the clans. Yet she has also done some very unforgivable things like wanting to kill Leafpool, and actually killing Ashfur. My only problem is that she didn't face any consequences for what she did to Ashfur, I felt she had it pretty easy, but at the same time, she also isolated herself from the clans as a self-punishment. So I dunno. I also really enjoy reading about her happiness in StarClan. To me, she's one of the best characters in the series. I love her relationships, learning to forgive others and understanding that nobody's perfect and accepted that she's half-clan. She is my 2nd favorite character apart from Cinderpelt. I can't forgive her for wanting to kill Leafpool, but she's a great character despite some of her issues with writing. I think people really overlook her and just see her as a "cat who's obsessed with the code", but, she's so much more than that. I agree with a lot of the things you have already said. Until she killed Ashfur, had a public meltdown in front of an entire gathering and revealed her and her brothers true heritage despite previously wanting to keep it a secret (and killing Ashfur for wanting to expose this) and then trying to poison her own mother with deathberries, Hollyleaf was only my second favorite out of the Original Three (Lionblaze was orginally first). But her downfall, self imposed exile and later redemption made me change that ranking because it was just so interesting to read about and see unfold. Lionblaze is also proving himself to be a more compelling character again like he started off in PoT but we'll see if he can switch places again with his sister on my personal ranking list.

1. Tall Shadow/Shadowstar - Alongside being aloof and kind of emotionally detached in most situations, Tall Shadow's relationship with Moon Shadow hit me hard. I have a twin brother, and he's a difficult person to like at times. But if anything were to happen to him, I would drop absolutely everything to be at his side. When stoic Tall Shadow resigned from leadership in order to care for her brother full-time after his injury in the fire, it felt like looking in a mirror.
2. Hollyleaf - I have a strong sense of justice and get anxious when people don't follow it in the way that I think they should. However, much like Hollyleaf, I recognize that I can be hypocritical when it comes to staying in line with my own moral rules.
3. Shadowsight - I relate to his anxiety and tendency to catastrophize (assuming that the worst will happen), as well as his closeness with his family.
4. Needletail - As a kid I was kind of a jerk, but as I grew older I realized that I was treating the people around me poorly due to my own frustration and dissatisfaction with life. I also lean more towards revolutionary politics than incrementalism.
5. Flypaw/whisker - ADHD can be difficult to live with, especially when you're a young kid. Even people who mean well can misunderstand the way you behave, frustrating both of you. And sometimes you find that you're just not cut out for what people want you to be and choose the path that will make you happy instead, even if it means disappointing them.

1. Twigbranch. I really related with her whole thing about immaturity and indecisiveness a lot. (Idk how to explain it lol.)
2. Rootspring. Reading his entire arc just felt like reading... mine, I guess?
3. Lionblaze. All my nightmares and invasive thoughts scare me as he did in POT.
4. Leafpool. As Briar said, I don't want to bother others with my problems.
5. (I can't think of any others lol.)

Hawkwing - I’ve been in a similar situation to him with the Duskpaw thing and the way he felt and acted afterwards was super relatable.
Squirrelflight - Even though I don’t always agree with the decisions she makes, I admire and relate to how she always does what she believes is right, even if others don’t agree with her. I always try to abide by my own moral code even if it gets me in trouble or even if it would be easier to just go against my beliefs and listen to whoever is telling me to do otherwise.
Feathertail - I related to her hesitance to be able to forgive those that hurt her in her manga.
Hollyleaf - I’m a big rule-follower as long as the rules align with my beliefs, as they often do, but I’m not afraid to break the rules if I think it’s the right think to do, such as when Hollyleaf broke the code to go help RiverClan. I’m also really ambitious.
Dovewing - I relate to her loneliness in her Clan and feeling like she’s only important to cats because she’s special (I sometimes only Dee important to people because I’m smart). I understand her feelings of being different from everyone else and just wanting to be normal, and how she became attached to Tigerheart because he still wanted to be her friend after the journey and because he treated her (mostly) like a normal cat. I also relate to her situation with Bumblestripe, as I have previously been in a situation (in early high school) where pretty much everyone around me was trying to convince me to be with someone I didn’t really want to be with, but I started thinking that maybe I should be with him because of all of the peer pressure and so I probably accidentally led him on because I couldn’t figure out what I actually wanted, so I really understand why it was so hard for Dovewing to make it clear to Bumblestripe that she didn’t want to be with him, as she may have not been totally sure herself.
Those are actually just my top 5 favorite characters! XD My favorites tend to be my favorites because I relate to them though, so it makes sense.

tallshadowstarWow, Shadowstar is a better character than I remember! It's really good that you grew out of your jerk phase, I'm sure you're a great person now, you seem like it, from what you said about your twin brother. I can relate to what you said about Shadowsight as well, minus the closeness with family. Ṣanɗypaw™I can relate to all those characters as well, maybe not as much as some others, but yeah. Also, about the impulsive thoughts, is everything okay? It's okay if you don't want to share in public, but if you ever need to talk, you know where to find me. IvyfalconWe have the same thoughts regarding rules and having our own personal moral code! I'm sorry you had to go through a Dovewing situation before, I went through one recently, though, I told everyone straight up that I didn't want to me with this person, including them, but they didn't seem to get it through their thick heads and they kept pestering me about it. Thankfully, they're into someone else now, so I think my worries are over. I hope things are okay regarding you and that guy now. That does make a lot of sense! XD

I realized, that I never put which five characters I relate to the most, this was actually harder than I thought it would be, but here they are!
1. Spiderleg - I also feel uneasy around children, and like I don't know what I'm doing. Not only that, but like Spiderleg, I'm also relatively quiet, but I can have a quick temper, especially when it comes to bossy people, like, how he was always calling Bramblestar bossy lol. As an ISTP, I think they got him pretty right on the personality database as being a fellow ISTP. 2. Shrewclaw - I have the same "sense of humor" I guess you can say, a lot of people don't find it funny though, and neither do I most of the time, but it's just the way I connect with people, especially with ones I get super close and comfortable with, I tease them like I would my siblings. Unfortunately, that has caused me to lose some friendships before, I've tried being sweet and nice before, but it just makes me feel like a phony, though, I have cut back a little bit thankfully. Another reason why I relate to Shrewclaw, is I never let things go and I can hold grudges for an eternity. 3. Mudclaw - I am impulsive, untrustworthy of people I don't consider good friends, but at the same time, I am pretty easily fooled by people, because while I'm untrustworthy of them, I also hate the idea of making anyone feel bad unless they deserve it. Also, I have a strong jealousy streak, and I also ruined a pretty good thing that I had going on due to my jealousy and feeling like I was being replaced by someone who I felt was better liked by everyone else. Of course I didn't try to kill them or anything, I just left. 4. Ivypool - Like I mentioned before, I have a strong jealousy streak, and I constantly feel a bit resentful towards people because I'm jealous of them. A lot of these people, are people who I consider to be friends, so I feel awful about it, but I can't help it, I just feel so angry because of how much better they are than me. They're much more talented, likable, funny, etc, I feel like everyone is on a much higher level than me, and I'm just an annoying narcisstic roach or something. However, unlike Ivypool, I probably wouldn't be brave enough to put myself in danger, at least not that I know of, I'm never sure what I'd do in high stress situations until the time arises, most of the time though, I'm a fight rather than a flight type of person, so maybe I would, idk. I was also bullied by a Blossomfall type person in school. And oh look, she's a fellow ISTP as well!
5. Goosefeather - I'm quite different from the people around me, and it's led me to being mocked, having basically no friends until I joined this place, and I also have a sister who doesn't understand and well, she doesn't really act rude to me because of this, but I do have some things that she uses against me or, or she pushes what I say aside and makes me feel invalid because of them. This one time, I suggested something, and she didn't think it was a very good idea, but then not even a minute later, her friend suggested the EXACT SAME THING and she said it was a great idea! Of course I can't see the future or anything, but I do find Goosefeather to be very relatable.

XD I’m sorry you had to deal with a situation like that too, but I’m glad it seems to be worked out now! Yeah, everything’s fine with my situation, he was never mad at me or anything. We really don’t talk now (we have mutual friends though), but we’re on decent enough terms I guess? My favorite example of following my moral code no matter what was the several times I brought birds to school in high school without ever asking if that was fine first. I mean, no one ever really cared, so it all turned out fine, but it seemed like a thing that maybe shouldn’t have been fine? My teachers were all super understanding and I was a favorite student though, so that helped. And if I hadn’t brought the birds, they would’ve died, so I had very good reasons for doing so and I definitely don’t regret my decisions there at all.

That's super awesome of your teacher, I'd hate to think what would happen if they were heartless jerks about it and that they understood why you had to. An example of mine, is that outside of people I'm close with, or people I dislike, just people I feel neutral about in general, I treat everyone exactly the same, which kind of ties into my not being as receptive to authority as much as some other people may be, and I'm also not as warm to little kids as other people may be There may be some differences between people, but at the end of the day, we're all people just trying to live our lives.

XD Saving birds’ lives is more important than going to school anyway, and that’s coming from someone who hated missing school and was obsessed with being academically perfect. Yeah, that’s fair. I’m not the biggest fan of kids myself. I find them to be kind of overwhelming and a bit hard for me to communicate with because I tend to automatically use big words that even my friends my age don’t understand sometimes and it’s hard to me to make the conscious effort to be easily understandable by kids. I also just tend to phrase things really strangely sometimes in a way that makes things overcomplicated, for example, I tend to say things like “it is permitted for you to sit down” instead of just “you can/may sit down.”

I heard that people get a lot of enjoyment working with special needs kids, Idk if I could do it though, I'd probably end up making someone cry on accident. That's really great that you love taking care of people, we need more people like you in the world

1. Ivypool - Jealous over my older sister, and keep getting compared to her.
2. Briarlight - I don't have a physical condition but I do have a medical condition that made me unable to work so I just help around in the house.
3. Goosefeather - Some people use to bully me because of my mini seizures they made me act like a crab or made me have a deja vu feeling.
4. Leafpool - I'm known as the quiet and calm sister when people look at me. I'm in a "forbidden relationship" only because my parents are super picky.
5. Squrrielflight - I am a bit of a hot head who doesn't listen to others when things get serious. I think my way is the right way but now I stop and listen to others now. Because of past experience.

Honestly that’s probably fair. I tried super hard not necessarily because I thought it would matter later, but because I’m just too much of a perfectionist. I don’t think you failed in life, there’s still plenty of time left, and even if you’re not living up to society’s expectation of “success,” you’re not a failure. Yeah, I can deal with kits for a limited time period, for example, presenting to a school about birds (I do that fairly frequently), but I wouldn’t want to be an elementary school teacher or anything requiring me to work with kids for an extended period of time.

Jayfeather: I have a disability and dislike being treated differently.
Blossomfall: I feel jealous that my mother gives more attention to my sister (as well as a dumb dog, lol, over me)
Ivypool: I'm tough and quiet like her, making hard decisions and sticking by them.
Hollyleaf: I'm ambitious and sensitive.
Leafpool: I'm the quiet, shy sister and I can be very kind, caring, and attentive to others' needs if I need to be.

whiteflightJeez! Those bullies sound terrible, I hope they get what's coming to them. I'm also unable to work, so I can relate to you, and Briarlight with number two. I know how hard it can get sometimes, at least it does for me, so feel free to vent whenever you want, if you want. I wish you luck in your "forbidden relationship" and I hope your parents come around someday soon! IvyfalconThat's understandable. Perfectionistism is a curse, especially when you're in a hurry! Twilight SparkleIt does suck being treated differently, but it also sucks when someone gets angry at you, for not being able to do what everyone else can do. I'm sorry that your mom treats your dog and sister better than you, it's so lame how parents have favorites, especially when they noticeably show their favoritism. That's great to hear! You're welcome

Ivyfalcon That's understandable. Perfectionistism is a curse, especially when you're in a hurry! Oh yeah definitely! I’m slower at a lot of things than most people because I’m too thorough! Same! I'm also the type to rewash dishes after someone else does them first lol

As of OOTS:
1. Crookedstar. Sadly I had an emotionally abusive mother who was similar to Rainflower. Like Crookedstar I’m also disabled (but unlike him my disability is “invisible” since I have ASD and PTSD), and sadly like Rainflower my mom is abelist, and not capable of change, empathy or unconditional love. I can’t re-read Crookedstar’s Promise anytime soon due to how painful it is how much I relate to his relationship with Rainflower.
2. Breezepelt. I had am emotional neglectful, distant, largely uninvolved father. When he did interact with me, he often crossed the line into emotional abuse. Like Breezepelt, this caused me to have a lot of anger and bitterness.
3. Lionblaze. He struggled with anger and impulsiveness, and had violent fantasies and inner demons he had to overcome, and he had to fight hard not to go down the path the Dark Forest wanted. I relate to his struggles and having to fight to become the best version of myself in spite of mental health struggles.
4. Ivypool. Her being unfairly compared to Dovewing hit me hard because I experienced something similar growing up, and like Ivypaw I also had insecurity because of this and didn’t feel good enough for the people around me. I wound up getting manipulated by someone who used me, just like how Ivypaw got manipulated by Hawkfrost. I also didn’t always express my emotions in a healthy way (like Ivypaw), and her feeling like Dovepaw abandoned her early in the arc hit me hard because I have a strong fear of abandonment.
5. Hollyleaf during the last half of Sunrise. I relate to the betrayal she felt and how her world got shattered, even though I still hate and do not condone the deathberry scene.
Bonus mentions:
Firestar: He had a different perspective from cats around him because he wasn’t forest born, and while it’s not quite the same I feel my ASD makes me think differently and have a different perspective than the Neurotypicals around me. I also feel Firestar had a strong sense of justice and right and wrong, which I can relate to.
Jayfeather: I hide my emotions a lot, but internally I feel pretty irritable most of the time.
Goosefeather: I can relate to being bullied due to mental illness, although I know in Goosefeather’s case it wasn’t that he was necessarily mentally ill, but he was basically cursed by Starclan and appeared “crazy” to his peers.
Ravenpaw and Barely: I have PTSD, and they have symptoms of it like nightmares. And I’m part of the LGBT community (I’m bisexual), and while it’s not directly stated by the Erins, I’m pretty sure they can be read as a couple.

scarletflamesJeez, I'm sorry for everything you had to go through in life, no one deserves that. Despite going through so much, you still seem like you've grown and not become a bitter person because of that, and that's great. However, if you do feel like you're having an off day, then don't feel bad, it happens to everyone, it's okay to have setbacks, the only thing that matters is getting back on and moving forward, though, that is easier said than done. Whatever happens, I hope you don't lose sight of who you want to be, and never stop striving for it, and that one day, things will be okay, though, I know it can take a longgg time. Also, if anyone tells you to forgive your parents just because they're your parents, tell them where to stick it, you owe your parents nothing.
