Make sure you spoiler tag any spoilers from Onestar’s Confession!
Since Onestar’s Confession is close to officially releasing, I thought it would be a good idea to make a poll on him.
Personally, I really like him. He’s definitely not a good cat, but I find him a very interesting character. I haven’t read the spoiler thread for his SE yet, so my opinions might change when I read that book.

Hate him. My least favorite character. Meanwhile his ex (Firestar) is my number one fav lol.

I loved Firestar at first, but I had come to hate him by the end. His leadership lasted wayyyy too long, and he was letting wayyy too many outsiders into the clan.

I find him an interesting character and I'm annoyed how the fandom will analyze a lot of other morally bad characters and their mindsets and like them as fictional characters, but no one wants to look at Onestar beyond "lol he sucks", or alternatively say his personality change is bad writing when it's really not, it's sensible character development but from someone who wasn't in a POV Clan so we only saw bits of it.

I dislike him because of his sudden attitude change to Firestar and the events of Darktail arc. Of course, when we find more information (aka we have to leave TC POV) it makes sense for his actions and behavior.

Neutral/dislike. Onestar was fine at the beginning but his actions in PoT and AVOS made me dislike him more.

Has the dubious honor of only being the second worst non villain leader, so there is that. Anyway, he’s a disaster but I think his fall from grace is under appreciated. His jealousy and paranoia are pretty memorable

Haven't read the new SE yet but right now I don't really like him due to his decisions made as leader. I liked Onewhisker better

i like him. hes an interesting character. his fall from grace was always pretty good, though i think avos made his character actively less interesting with the smoke/darktail thing. dropped him from love to like for me.

He's a favourite for the sole person that he's an interesting morally-gray character. He's a coward, but that's fine.
Spoilers for Onestar's Confession just make me love him even more.

Extremely interesting from a character study perspective, however completely unenjoyable to read about or experience on paper. So yeah, gotta say I hate him. Plus I feel really bad for all the characters who had the misfortune of being brought down by him… ( T^T ) Just knowing this cat seems to be bad luck.

Strong dislike I don't like him in the story, and I don't like him in the fandom. I don't find his character change interesting or anything, it just seems annoying and unneeded to me.

Cant believe I am saying this but OC has moved him from "Hate" to "Dislike" because of: OC spoilers: what happens in the epilogue/comic - he confesses to being a fool and reconciles with Firestar. Thats atonement imo

I like Onestar, he's not a good cat but he's interesting to read about. I think his personality-change makes sense in the books with everyone doubting his leadership

I love how consistent his character is and how he’s vastly different from the typical boring repetitive POV’s we get. I also enjoy how much he riles people up, in my opinion it means that the character’s doing what he’s intended to do, which is infuriate and frustrate the reader with his innate cowardice. I never liked Onestar for his choices or actions, but I always liked how he played a role in the story and how they kept his cowardice and awful decision making consistent.
So I still like him as a character.

He's a terrible cat, but a very interesting character to read about. He proves an interesting foil to Blackstar. Blackfoot started out as assistant to the regional war criminal, Onewhisker started out as a seemingly reasonable cat who quickly became Windclan's Fireheart equivalent. Then, they both became leader, and we keep expecting Onestar and Firestar to team up and kick tail, while Blackstar would start trouble.
However, Onestar waged war on Thunderclan, becoming an anti-villian, and Blackstar showed his redemption by helping Thunderclan as an anti-hero. Look at how they were at the end of their lives and how they were when we first met them, and without context of who they were or what they went through, you'd think their ends would be flipped. Blackstar ended up as an old guy trying to keep the alliance steady despite everyone else not caring, while Onestar ended his life with bad decision after bad decision. Blackstar was a good leader who kept making the mistake of trusting others and following them without question, while Onestar was a narcissistic coward who kept making bad decisions out of his own insecurity about his skills, his promotion, and the fact that twice his clanmates tried killing him.

I like how all of y'all forgot he was a p*do Maybe because that's not what he actually is? Like I said on the other thread, Whitetail had already been an adult for quite some time by the time Onewhisker actually started to show an interest in her, though I will say the part where he starts to realize his feelings definitely could've been worded better. Furthermore, something that must be understood about fantasy is that they aren't always meant to be seen as reflections on our world. It'd be one thing if pairings with large age differences or between mentors and apprentices were looked at by the cats the way most of us would look at them in our world, but they very clearly aren't.

I like how all of y'all forgot he was a p*do How about you don't throw around words and accusations like that so carelessly? It can be triggering to users here, including myself, and it waters down the actual meaning of that word. You can just say you found OneWhite uncomfortable and move on. Don't use it like a buzzword.
