What characters in the series that are typically hated or disliked, but you actually happen to like?
For example, I don't deny that he's a subpar leader and the author favouritism is quite blatant, but I find Tigerstar II an interesting character and how he seems to shake things up with the Clan dynamics. I also didn't mind Flametail's pov in OotS, though I get why most people didn't.

Nightcloud springs to mind. While not my favorite cat, she's nowhere near as bad as the fandom seems to make her out to be. Also, antagonists like Skystar and Needletail (now if only the Erins could be consistent about them, especially Skystar).

Most of my favorites are like that, I just find them to be more outstanding and interesting than the rest.
Clear sky Tigerheart Onestar Leopardstar (I guess? I've mostly seen people hate on her) Bumblestripe
Maybe I could add Bramblestar and Pinestar but they don't seem to be too hated as of now

Does Nightheart count anymore...? If so, then Nightheart.

That would be Brambleclaw and Nightcloud for me.
The former is certainly flawed and needs (couple) therapy but he's not this seemingly irredeemable monster a lot of people in the fandom seem to see him as these days imo. Meanwhile, the latter got vilified by large parts of the fandom in the past simply for being reasonably upset/pissed that her mate at the time was not exactly loyal to say the least as well as her being accused of being a so called "helicopter parent" when she was literally the only one putting in actual effort at raising her only surviving kit while his negligent daddy was off busy with still being bitter about his failed love life (this is coming from someone who likes Crowfeather as a character btw but still thinks the dude was a piece of work for most of his life).

Bumblestripe. Bro was never manipulative. The editors hated him and want to tear him down to make Tigerheart look good. He's actually really supportive in Bramblestar's Storm AND Dovewing's Silence, alongside The Forgotten Warrior. He got mad at TLH at Dovewing for valid reasons - if I was in his shoes, I'd be pissed at her, too.

Pinestar- He's a leader that acknowledges that caland are dumb. He earned his rest and I respect him. Bumblestripe- I always thought him and Dovewing were a cute couple. Blossomfall- She's badass. Sandstorm- She's sassy but nice when appropriate. Stormfur- He has a very interesting life. Ivypool- My second favorite character! I didn't think she was underrated but lots of people hate her. Crookedstar- Lots of people also hate him, but I love his SE.

Crookedstar- Lots of people also hate him, but I love his SE. I can't say I've ever seen much hate for Sandstorm, Stormfur, or Crookedstar, and Ivypool is one of the fandom's favorite characters. Maybe it's different in other areas of the fandom, though.

Take this with a grain of salt since I haven’t read most of the books in forever + never read the last few series. But off the top of my head, Dovewing, Blossomfall, Leopardstar, Star Flower, Tigerstar 2, Silverstream. I also like Twigbranch. I wouldn’t say people hate her, but I remember people thinking she was annoying back in the day but I always found her cute and preferred her to Violetshine.

Breezepelt, Clear Sky, Star Flower, Crowfeather, Shrewclaw (from TR), Brokenstar (Please note I like him as a villain, NOT as a person. He's an awful person.)

Happy to see all the Bumblestripe enjoyers in the thread! Honestly him and Blossomfall have captivated my interest more than Briarlight, even though she's the most loved out of the three.

Star Flower counts, sure. But Ivypool is definitely more loved than she is hated. I mean, the blurb even calls her a fan-favorite.

Brokenstar and Stormtail I think Brokenstar is such a cool name and as for Stormtail its mostly for nostalgia reasons since Bluestar's Prophecy was the first warriors book I've read

That's what I thought to, but people were calling him overrated. I would say there is a different between overrated and hated. The former suggests the character is simply liked disproportionately to what the character actually is, but that doesn't necessarily translate to dislike.

Firestar, people say he became boring after tbp but im reading it after i read firestars quest, i just think the crush on spottedleaf needs to calm down, he has a mate and 2 kits-, ive seen some people hate the writers because they were open with ravenpaw and barley being, partners i guess, and not being open with tallstar and jake, i don't belive they are mates because he had kits with two she cats, kind of a rant now, but anyway thats mostly it

Pretty much the majority of my favorite characters. I tend to like flawed and interesting characters. Nightheart, Bramblestar, Lionblaze, Hollyleaf, Squirrelstar, Onestar, Blackstar, Leopardstar are the main ones that come to mind. I love Juniperclaw, Snowtuft, Silverhawk, Sparrowfeather, Maggottail, and Redwillow but since most people either love, like or are neutral on I don’t think they count. I also like Curlfeather and Berryheart although again I haven’t seen much hate on them. To be honest there really isn’t a character I actually hate. There are characters I find irritating and annoying such as Needletail and Lightleap but I can’t say that I hate them.

I say Bramblestar because he is still very much hated outside of these forums.
