put another way: were there any characters that initially imagined looking a certain way, but then later on you started visualizing them differently?
when i kept up with the series, i always imagined brightheart as a white cat with orange splotches. but i re-read the original arc for funsies this week and i realized that now i imagine her as a ginger-and-white tabby.
i also realized that even though Darkstripe is described as a gray-and-black tabby in the allegiances, the books always call him a "dark warrior", and that always made my brain imagine him as chocolate brown cat with black stripes (which...as far as i know isnt possible). but on this read-through i kept flicking between my original image of him and his actual description.

I used to imagine Greystripe as a regular grey cat with short to medium length fur, but now I see him as dark grey with fluffier fur.
I always saw Squirrelflight as plain ol' orange tabby but now I see her as dark ginger.
I used to see Onestar as being pale-brown tabby with white but now I don't see any white on him and I'm finally able to imagine him with mottled fur like how he's described.
Thistleclaw's appearance just changes everytime I read BP, including how spikey his fur is.

When I was a kid I thought Tigerstar literally looked like a tiger and had orange fur with black and white stripes. I also pictured him with a sheriff's hat once he became deputy because I was under the impression that all of the deputies had those.
I was not the brightest kid.

Considering that the German cover for ItW was the first artwork I ever saw of Rusty/Firestar being a solid dark ginger cat, it's also how my child self imagined him to look like until the cover for TDH showed him as a bright orange tabby which has since then been "his final form" for me.

the only thing i can think of is when i spend too much time fixing dexcriptions in family trees and AU lists, i end up forgetting their canon descriptions. for example im so used to spiderleg being a dark grayish-brown tabby tom with a lighter belly, that i keep forgetting his stupid canon appearance

I still kind of like that depiction but have just grown more used to seeing him as a tabby over the years. Then again, there's also the middle ground of having Firestar appear as a mostly solid ginger cat with some tabby markings only on his face like he usually tends to get portrayed in the Graphic Novels. Here's an example from Ravenpaw's Path:

I always imagined Lionblaze to have a massive mane. It's not the case but it would definitely make him look cooler.

i used to imagine willowpelt similarly to her allegiance description, grey with unusually blue eyes, now i like to think shes a blue or dilute tortoiseshell. her daughter too, i used to picture sorreltail being a very white calico with few splotches about her, now i like to think that she resembles willopelts dilute tortoiseshell and has areas of high white spotting from whitestorm. and her daughter aswell, i used to imagine poppyfrost as having sort of a pinkish ginger and black tortoiseshell pelt, inspired by a lot of the fanart you'll see of her, my picture of her hasn't changed as massively as sorreltail and willowpelt, but now i envision her as being a golden-brown(from brackenfur) and black tortoiseshell with a white spotting and underbelly similarly to sorreltail. to be fair I've revised a lot more characters in my head to make them resemble their family more closely, which include squirrelflight and leafpool, the three, dandelionkit, most of fernclouds and dustpelts kits and so many moreπ
