If you were to replace a protagonist, (can be from any book like main series, SE, novellas, etc.) Who would you replace and why?

While I did like the book the way it was, I would've liked Firestar's Quest to have Sandstorm as the protagonist instead, or both of them sharing a SE. This would mainly be for fun.
Main series would be Alderheart with Needletail and after Needletail dies it's only Violetshine and Twigbranch as the protagonists. Needletail has a much more complex character than Alderheart in my opinion. She'd also be a morally gray protagonist compared to Alderheart.

I would replace Brambleclaw from TNP with his sister Tawnypelt in terms of most of his storyline in that arc. He could still be developed in the background as someone who will become leader one day but perhaps him not having a PoV might be better for his character overall. He even felt like a different cat from the first arc during this time in canon sometimes. And not in a good way.
Especially in regards to what happens in the latter half of the second arc where Brambleclaw suddenly went from being suspicious of Hawkfrost to wanting to know him and defending him against cats he was previously closer with. While I understand that he wanted to get to know his half-brother more (not his half-sister Mothwing though for some reason), it still felt rather contrived simply to have a plot for the last three books.
But especially him willingly training with his father in the Dark Forest just contradicts Brambleclaw's previous characterization of rejecting Tigerstar's legacy in the first arc. Tawnypelt would have simply been way more fitting for this role in retrospect. She joined her father's Clan at the end of TPB and only outright rejected him during the last book of the next arc, which was witnessed by Brambleclaw himself.
So to me, that is plenty of time to adjust the story so Tawnypelt gets more believable development than her brother who did not even need it in regards to his father if canon did not force it upon him in Starlight, Twilight and Sunset. Her still naming one of her and Rowanclaw's kits after her father could also play further into her complicated relationship with him and the conflicting emotions she might have felt through it all.
Of course, when it comes to the romantic lives of the TigerGolden kits, I personally would certainly not have minded if something else other than canon had happened (especially concerning BrambleSquirrel but then again TawnySquirrel would have sadly not become a thing due to publishing reasons). Most of this "replacing a protagonist" thought process I did had to do with the "Tigerstar and Hawkfrost" situation anyways.

AVOS is a pretty easy one. alder and needle r so replaceable. just give their roles to smoke and brindle from windclan. windclan should have had shadowclans place in the narrative in AVOS anyways...targeting shadowclan again makes no sense.

I'd switch Lionblaze for more of the gray cat trio (Jay, Ivy and Dove) since they're all more interesting to me.

Switch Flametail for anyone else from ShadowClan. I couldn't stand his POV.
