Regardless if you like the ship or not, do you think her having feelings for him was necessary?

I think if they just kept it as a friendship than nothing would really change, so I don't think it was necessary. I had no clue it even existed until about a year ago

You can tell something was going on in the first arc. It was at least implied when there was tension with Cinderpelt and Sandstorm. While I like FirexSand, I wouldn't have minded seeing FirexCinder is they didn't chuck her into the medicine cat den.

It added more to Cinderpelt's generous character, but no, we really didn't need to see that she loved Firestar, lol. She was fine as her own character without him.

i never liked the possibility of it. even though they're not actually that far apart in age, i still didnt like it. not just because of fire x sand bias, but because cinderpelt didnt need to have a crush on him to begin with. her crush didnt really do much since fireheart was oblivious (he didnt even catch that sandstorm and cinderpelt were bickering, or that one of them was jealous of the other, etc.). it also wouldnt have made a good love triangle because we already have spottedleaf for that, and sandstorm was always way more upset about fire x spotted than fire x cinder.
i guess i like cinderpelt's crush a tiny bit because she moves on from it pretty quickly. i always view her as moving on from it quickly and settling into her medicine cat role which she came to genuinely love over time.
cinderheart ruins this whole concept of cinderpelt moving on though so...i will just chose to ignore that whole possession subplot to save cinderpelt's honor

Not really in canon but nothing can stop me from still shipping CinderFire together in fanon.

It's fine. Because it wasn't all that her character was about like people thought it was back then. Cinderpelt was more than just her feelings for Firestar, she was also his best friend too, and I feel like that seems to be overlooked by fans. Graystripe and Cinderpelt were the two closest friends Firestar had back in the day, and were also his deputy and medicine cat respectfully for quite some time too.
Her having feelings for Firestar, but also being selfless, shows that she truly did love him because she cared about his happiness. She encouraged him to get with Sandstorm when he was oblivious to her feelings, and also defended him when his position was being questioned by others. She also had no qualms in mentoring Leafpool despite her bratty behavior, and serving her clan until her last breath, accepting she was going to die. It's quite tragic, and I think it adds to her character, to show that she's not just some "emotionless heartless sheep of StarClan". She was her own person, she had real feelings, and she had no problem standing up to cats, whether they were from another clan, as vicious as Tigerstar, or as close to her as Firestar.
It's something I always liked about her character. Personally, I thought her and Firestar's relationship was sweet, regardless of her feelings for him. And I still believed that they could have worked out romantically, she deserved to live her own life how she wanted, despite her physical disability. I think she's well written, but she definitely deserved better in life. I don't doubt that she would have confessed her feelings and most likely have ended up with Firestar if she had remained a warrior, especially because of how close they were already.

It's not necessary, but I'm fine with it.
