...Moonpaw!
Do you have any early hopes/fears for Moonpaw and her character?
How will you feel if she's a NightSun kit? What do you want her personality to be like? Do you want her to be a warrior apprentice or a medicine cat apprentice? |

I don't have many thoughts at all beyond making stupid wings of fire jokes about her right now but they just write themselves when wc and wof tend to be kind of linked together and wof already has moonwatcher the protag with visions who suddenly finds a dark and ominous voice speaking to her in her mind,
I do think it's gonna be lame when people call her a mary sue for existing inevitably though.

I tend to like the Shadowsight, Frostpaw, etc. sort of character who deals with a sort of "false chosen one" status. I have a few worries about if her narrative ends up repetitive, but I'm openminded and excited to see where they go with her. I like her name and I thought it was about time that retconned thing about Moon names be fully and completely dumped, because it's just such a nice name.
As long as she has some fun angst and melodrama I'll be happy.
EDIT: Actually, did some thinking and I do have a pretty specific hope for her, since our previous protagonists of the same archetypes tended to end up being social pariahs/Cassandras- I want the clans to overcorrect and fervently believe in ANYTHING Moonpaw says, even as she starts to have her own reservations about her own visions and the cat that's speaking to her- rather than having her arc be about fighting to be believed. It would be a fun subversion and interesting to see her suddenly gain a cult of personality without realizing it.

I'm not too excited about it. Moonpaw sounds straight out of a fanfic, although at this point, that's what the series is. I hate that she might be a Night/Sun kid solely because I don't like the couple. The blurb of her having visions really just seems like she's another Shadowsight, and I honestly think she'll be a MCA, because we can't go a single arc without having a medicine cat POV. So I'm not really excited for her at all. |

It’s interesting that the blurb purposefully leaves out what Clan she’s from. At first I was hoping they wanted to surprise us with a WindClan or WarriorClan POV, but it seems more likely it’s to not spoil that she’s a Night/Sun kit. I’m still holding out hope she’s from WindClan though. Her name could tie in to WindClan’s historical connection with StarClan and the Moonpool/stone. |

Hoping she's not a Night/Sun kit but haha get it, Night-Sun-Moon theming? :/
Also hoping she's not a med cat. We've had a med cat POV for almost all the arcs and I'm getting kind of tired of it. |

As many people have pointed out, based on the premise of her character it's almost inevitable that she's going to retread a lot of what we've seen with Shadowsight already. Frostpaw managed to deviate from him fairly well despite some similarities on paper, but I'd be surprised if they can pull that off in a third way that feels unique. I'm hoping she at least has a different personality type than the anxious medicine cat POVs. As for her being a NightSun kit, I'm expecting it to happen, but I wish she wasn't. Especially since Nightheart's story was supposedly about Firestar descendants being held to Firestar's legacy instead of allowed to be their own cats, it feels like that message gets lost when being a protagonist is basically a hereditary trait in Firestar's bloodline. |

While I don’t like that they’re using ‘Moon’ as a prefix, I’m interested in seeing where they take her character. Fingers crossed that if she has to be gray / silver then hopefully they can give her some interesting markings like rosettes. I’m honestly hoping she’s solid white or ginger like I’ve seen others hope. Calico (dilute or not) would be awesome too! I’d even be okay with her as solid black or black and white.
I can see her being a NightSun kit, but I can also see her as being connected to the mysterious group of cats that Ivypool’s Heart has been foreshadowing. |

She'll most likely be a NightSun kit, but I don't mind.
I'd like to see Moonpaw be different from Shadowsight and Frostpaw. Maybe she can be a warrior apprentice with visions? |

Watch her be a basic grey cat with blue/green eyes |

I hope she's a white cat. I don't think we've had an all-white cat as a main series protagonist/POV, have we? So that's my hope, a white cat with grey or brown eyes.
I admit I'm a bit weary of all the grey she-cats...

What if she ends up listening to those evil voices and becomes our evil medicine cat? That might actually be worth reading.

Not fan of the vision aspect, I feel like we've had enough of that. It would be nice to just have a normal cat do normal things, then gets thrown into the deep end. I find it more interesting. I just hope the visions have nothing to do with evil cats, or terrible omens, etc, like in previous arcs, it's too repetitive. However, even if the name is a bit...interesting, if it's a NightSun kit, it makes sense, so I don't mind. |

It would be pretty interesting if she was a tribe cat

speculation about identity of one of the newly named protags in the blurb I swear if Nightheart named his kit Moonkit after making a big deal about how Flame- is too similar to Fire- and now Moon- is themed after Night- and Sun- imma. imma. idk |

Personally, I don't think Moonpaw is Clanborn. Remember the Ivypool's Heart prologue? Whistlepaw heard kits mewling in distress. There could very well be actual kits involved. Perhaps Moonpaw was a rogue taken in by a Clan?
But if she is Clanborn, I think she'll be a descendant of one of the missing SkyClan cats. |

Flameheart was even more blatant because it was just basically Fireheart, and Nightheart felt like any sense of his own identity would be gone if he went with it. The fact that the rest of his clan constantly pressured him to just accept Flameheart, even his own mother and sister, made things worse too.
I don't think him naming his daughter Moonpaw is as much as a big deal in comparison. When if anything it's a good reference to both his name and Sunbeam's name. They're her parents, unlike Firestar, who was Nightheart's great-grandfather, and a cat he never met to boot. Moon is the opposite of Sun, and also comes out at Night. So it's a good blend of both of them. But again, this is only if Moonpaw actually does end of being their kit.
Compared to other naming methods, it could have been much worse. |

I really, really hope she isn't a plain gray cat with blue/green eyes. I'm hoping that she's a WindClan cat, although her being a NightSun kit wouldn't be awful either. |
