Not sure if I'll be able to share the video on here so I'm just going to include what she said near the beginning which was: "Today, most of my favorite characters are mostly she-cats which suggests I'm going through a bit of a feminist phase". She also mentioned that her top five cats can change from a day to day basis. Here they are ranked (by her): 1. Ravenpaw (most like her) 2. Cinderpelt (admires her and adores that she loved Firestar but never told him) 3. Mothwing (her being an atheist is interesting) 4. Squirrelflight (they both raised children that are not biologically their own) 5. Yellowfang (thinks of her as the reversed Squirrelflight)

Number 4 is very wholesome.

"4. Squirrelflight (they both raised children that are not biologically their own) 5. Yellowfang (thinks of her as the reversed Squirrelflight)"
In what sense? That she had to give up her own child to be raised by someone else, or that she basically got "adopted" as a mother figure by Fireheart?

That she had to give up her own child to be raised by someone else, or that she basically got "adopted" as a mother figure by Fireheart? Probably that she (Yellowfang) had to give up her only surviving kitten who turned out to be a cruel killer (of kits) later on and that she herself had to kill him (multiple times). While Squirrelflight got to raise the Original Three and went so far as to lie to Ashfur about not caring about them (as in saying that she was not their real mother/they weren't truly hers and that he could kill them) during the fire scene just to protect them even at the cost of them hating her for it (and for revealing the truth about their real parentage to save them). Not exactly sure if I would call Yellowfang the reverse of Squirrelflight for that per se (or Leafpool for that matter although their situations are at least similar to the extent of them both being medicine cats who had to give up their kits). But since Vicky doesn't really elaborate much on that statement afterwards, this is all we got for now. But I kinda think it moreso has to with them being mothers and just how far they were ready to go when it concerned their kits (Yellowfang by killing the monster her son had become and Squirrelflight by protecting Hollyleaf, Lionblaze and Jayfeather even at the cost of them despising her for lying to them about their true parents).

Vicky’s top five is very different from mine. All of her characters I just like ( Ravenpaw and Cinderpelt) or am neutral on. None of them are even close to my top five (Juniperclaw, Nightheart, Rootspring, Shadowsight, Tree).

Someone should make a thread where everyone posts their top 5 cats and why.

squirrelflight one is wild to me... she's adopted children before but the writing of adopted children in these books makes it seem like shes against them

After all, Vicky was also the one who decided that Ashfur should be in StarClan after his death. And that bs reasoning Yellowfang gave in OotS to Jayfeather really does read like she was used as a mouth piece by Vicky to excuse his actions with "he just loved (Squirrelflight) too much". I do think that things have gotten better in terms of how adoption/raising offspring that isn't biological to a character are portrayed ever since she left the team (most notably with Gray Wing to Turtle Tail's kits and Hawkwing for a little while to Plumwillow's kits). So there's at least that in terms of some improvement regarding this matter.
