Which series protagonist do you view as the ugliest in-universe? As in, if you were a clan cat, which one is the least likely to be called handsome/pretty/*insert positive adjective about physical appearance here*?

Hmmmm, I'm not exactly sure, none of the protags have been described as ugly.

Guess I'll go with Firestar. Back in the days when he was Rusty/Firepaw, I'm sure he was seen as the ugliest cat in existence by some of his clanmates.

I mean I don't recall any characters being seen as ugly.
There was Crookedstar after his accident he was described as such with his jaw. But that's mean af

Probably Ivypool from all her Dark Forest scars.
Also Alderheart but that's just because I personally don't like his design, lol

Maybe Shadowsight because of all the scars he got his arc, plus around half the clans don't like him very much.

I don't think scars necessarily make a cat "ugly" especially in a reality like Warriors, where battle scars are admired and seen as a show of strength and respect.
If we're going by views, perspective-wise, I do think Firepaw, but later one the idea of that obviously flipped when he gained more respect, and had three she-cats paddling after him.
Personally, I think the ugliest (or at least most boring-looking) protagonist is probably Twigbranch. Like I don't mind her character much, but she just looks boring. I just don't find much appeal in solid gray characters, like just at least splash some white on there, and you'd look more interesting. But being solid gray is just...meh, I'll even take solid black fur over it because it at least looks cool. I pretty much feel the same way toward Dovewing too, but at least the fanart tries to do her some sort of justice.

I would honestly pick Alderheart through the process of elimination.

Dovewing, Lionblaze (could be overexposure because his design is so.. bleh), Twigbranch, Violetshine.
I personally imagine Bristlefrost similar to Ivypool so that really muddles my perception.
If you had asked when I first read OOTS, I would have said Ivypaw/pool because I had thought she was the solid gray for some reason and the original cover for The Fourth Apprentice did not do Dovewing justice. (Also thought the cat The Forgotten Warrior was Lionblaze when I first saw it until someone said it was apparently Leafpool.)

I would pick Twigbranch as the most plain one, but not ugly. I think she just wasn't given any design quirks that make her stand out in a recognizable way like a lot of the other protagonists.

All of the plain gray protagonists – Dovewing, Gray Wing, Clear Sky, Twigbranch and Bristlefrost (and Frostpaw I suppose). I just think solid gray is the most boring fur colour you could pick – apart from solid brown. Black, white or ginger at least look kind of cool, but gray is just ehh… That's why I like some design choices, like giving Dovewing multi coloured eyes or wing patterns, giving Clear Sky white spots or making Bristlefrost into a dilute tortie. It just looks a lot better and more interesting than pure gray. No, I don't think any of these characters are ugly, but they're just the most boring out of the bunch

isnt firestar called attractive multiple times in series? iirc the original TPB alliances describe him as a “handsome ginger tom” but i could be imagining that.

Yellowfang would be really unattractive as well
Third ugly cat is Brokenstar, but I don´t know why

Honestly I’ve always imagined Shadowsight as this skinny, gangly guy. He’s probably the only one I’ve never imagined as attractive in any way.

Leafpool's design has always bothered me, plus she looks super chubby on the cover of her novella. I wouldn't say that she's ugly, though.

I don't think anyone's "ugly" but I'll go with Twigbranch, I just don't imagine her looking all that nice.

I'm genuinely confused on seeing at least two people on this thread think Firestar would have been considered ugly by his Clanmates early on as an apprentice despite him getting called "handsome" in the Allegiances of Into the Wild and most of the series following that book. Like what?!
Anyways, Brokenstar is (not) the one for me. Just one big yikes. And the fact that he enjoys killing kits/apprentices also would make me regard him as ugly if I was a Clan cat. Both from the outside and on the inside as well.
Edit: I just re-read the top post and realized this was about which of the protagonists could be considered ugly. Sorry about that. Brokenstar is still the ugliest cat to me. But in regards to protagonists, there is none I think is ugly, to be honest. Boring when it comes to an original design perhaps but not unsightly. Anyways, I'm going with Bristlefrost since I'm so tired of plain grey protagonists at this point. If only they all had some spots or stripes (maybe both?) to mix things up a bit. Stormfur was (kind of) the first one, then Dovewing, Gray Wing, Clear Sky, Twigbranch, Bristlefrost and now it looks like Frostpaw might be another one yet. I'm just so done with that at this point.

I wouldn't consider any of the protagonists ugly, but if I had to choose one it would be Leafpool. I think she is the one who is most likely to have had an “ugly duckling” stage, and it just gives new meaning to her calling all of the she-cats she called beautiful in TNP. Was she comparing herself to everyone else until she realized that she is beautiful as well?

To be honest, I always interpreted Leafpool calling other she-cats beautiful as her being bi but your take on it actually makes a lot of sense as well.

Shadowsight according to RiverClan, apparently. In Frostpaw's article it said that she was excited to meet Shadowsight who wasn't as weird looking as some of her Clanmates had described him.
