What are some characters you changed your opinion on over time? So far, here’s mine.
Graystripe. His irresponsible behavior annoyed me in Fire and Ice, which made me start to dislike him. I’ve come around on him though. He’s not my favorite, but I appreciate him for what he is.
Bluestar. I always remember liking her, but now I’m neutral bordering on dislike. There was something about her in Forest of Secrets that rubbed me the wrong way. I thought it would get worse in Rising Storm, but she didn’t bother me so much there. I actually liked seeing the ups and downs she went through, as sad as they were. I can’t tell if A Dangerous Path is going to remind me why I used to like her, or make me dislike her completely. For now, I’m neutral.
Sandstorm. I used to like her, and now… I don’t hate her, but I find her very off irritating. She’s easily offended and takes everything the wrong way. I feel like every interaction between her and Fireheart end with her storming off in a huff over something. She has good moments though.

Leafstar. I remember thinking she was a weak leader, and pathetic to let kittypets bully her Clan. However I was able to actually come to respect her and like her a lot as a character. Especially with all the bullshit she puts up with in HJ, the later half of AVOS, TS, and the rest of the series in general.

Breezepelt. He was an ass in OotS, but can you blame him? Pushed to the DF for being treated the way he was. I loved his redemption and how he finally started to connect with Crowfeather. And he's so cute with Heathertail and their kits. Sure, he's still very territorial and aggressive, but he's definitely changed for the better. I used to hate him, but now I don't.
Clear Sky frustrated and annoyed me at first. But the character development for him was really good. He's very flawed in a lot of ways. And I disagree with those who think he was OOC after DotC. He's always been stubborn and fiercely protective and that's absolutely in character for him. That much has never changed. Star Flower also gets a lot of hate for how she treated/manipulated Thunder. That wasn't okay. However, no one can deny that she's a really good match for Clear Sky. And after a while, I did warm up to her too.

Bramblestar: went from being neutral to hating him to loving him.
Squirrelflight: I cannot stress how fast I went from 'okay, she's very annoying' to 'I freaking hate you, I want you to die already'

Squirrelflight. She was my favorite character and now I dislike her. Hollyleaf also went from a character I liked to my favorite in the whole series.

Leafstar, I can't even remember why but I hated her in 7th grade when reading AVOS and now she's in my top 5 favorite characters.

Squirrelflight is a lot like her mother in this regard!

Brambleclaw used to be another protag I was just kind of neutral about but unfortunately for him he just keeps existing and being very annoying in the process and now even just looking back at older books I notice things about him that just seem extra annoying in hindsight. Obligatory reminder that I never watched the bramblestar video, sometimes a character is just Annoying

Went from liking Leafpaw because I related to her personality, to vehemently hating Leafpool and blaming her for everything bad(if you were on the og forums in the snail-mail days and remember someone who would constantly spam Leafpool hate, that was probably me), to disliking her, to loving her and missing her.
I can only imagine what 11 year old me would think about current me literally having a Leafpool plush, figurine, and fanmade keychain lol

I went from absolutely despising Lionblaze to being his biggest fan lmao.
I also went from liking Bramblestar to hating him (because before I joined these forums, I was more on other sides of the Warriors fandom and people told me I shouldn't like him and that I was a bad person for liking him because of what he did to Squirrelflight, and me being very impressionable and just getting back into the fandom after a few years Warriors hiatus and being very intimidated, accepted that and became an avid Bramblestar hater) to just being neutral on him. There are things about him I like (I loved him in TPB and the first half of TNP), there are things about him I dislike, I think Squirrelflight's Hope was extremely ooc for Bramblestar so I ignore that, and now I just feel bad for him and I'm happy he has retired.
I went from casually liking Squirrelflight to absolutely loving her and loving all of her flaws.

Twigbranch. I really liked her while reading AVoS, but as soon as I finished the series I promptly forgot about her. Completely neutral about her now, and when she has some sort of appearance in any of the recent books I just don't care.
Also was very neutral about Blackstar, now I love him.

Riverstar.
I was never crazy about him because he's overrated. Aside from being chill and calm, he didn't have much of a personality yet he's always been praised left and right.
But now he's actually very relatable. In his super edition, when Riverstar was staying with the Twolegs and then the Twolegs brought a dog in the house, Riverstar immediately knew he couldn't stay because he felt unhappy and unsafe. As someone who has been replaced by a stupid dog, I related to him at once and felt sorry for him. I admire him for running away, something I wish I could do.
So yeah, it's weird, but now I like Riverstar a lot more, because dang, I can relate to feeling like home isn't home anymore because of a dumb dog.

Dawnpelt. She was one of my least favorite cats back when OotS was wrapping up. It really aggravated me that we never saw her make amends with Jayfeather for accusing him of motiveless cold-blooded murder. I understood that she was grieving, but I didn’t like that her arc was never resolved.
When AVoS released though, her characterization and story were strong, and I found myself liking her in spite of past qualms. It wasn’t hard to imagine she might’ve apologized to Jayfeather offscreen, likely sometime after Flametail vouched for him, once everything settled down from the Great Battle. I would love for her to get a novella one day that touches on that, and showcases her offscreen death.

Breezepelt. Hated Breezepaw and a bit of Breezepelt, but now I'm more neutral-leaning-towards-love because I realize how hard his life is and I felt bad for him and respect him.

Absolutely loathed Jayfeather as a kid because I thought he was insanely overrated, kinda developed a more positive opinion of him for awhile, now I’ve realized I was kinda right the first time and dislike him.

Ivypool - Used to be a favorite of mine when I read OOFTS, because I was hyped and she had cool animations, but when I started my reread I realized how much of an ass she is Berrynose - I just hated him for being annoying, but now he's a big favorite of mine for being funny Tigerheart - I didn't find him anything interesting, then when I read his SE I found him really relatable and fun to read about Lionblaze - went from sighing at every one of his chapter to still sighing at his chapters, but appreciating his character Wind Runner - when I was reading DOTC she was fun, but then Moth Flight was born and she acts so disgustingly towards her Daisy - For some reason I really hated her a year or so ago, she's now one of my favorites

A lot of people seem to either love or hate Squirrelflight. I’m so nervous what I’ll think about her when I get to that part. I remember coming around to like her a long time ago (during POT/OOTS). Now I don’t remember her at all really + haven’t read the newer series, so I’m scared 😬
