I’ve finally finished DOTC and Riverstar’s Home and am now very early reading MFV (haven’t finished chapter 1 yet). Will read the DOTC novellas afterwards.
Tangent with DOTC: I cannot forgive Shadowstar, Windstar or Gray Wing or Clear Sky for the unnecessarily cruel way they treated Bumble (and I really don’t like how the writers handled Tom, either, or Clear Sky).
I’m glad to say I’ve finally read DOTC but the cruelty shown towards Bumble, Tom getting a hero’s death and Clear Sky being overtly cruel yet constantly getting sympathy and forgiveness… I will not be re-reading DOTC. Too aggravating and emotionally painful.
End of tangent:
Back to MFV. Unless the book says something different, I am going to headcanon that:
When Rocky met Windstar she got reminded of manipulating Shadowstar into driving Bumble out so she, Wind, could eventually join the group instead.
Looking at Rocky, Windstar was reminded of Bumble… her cruel words to Bumble before forcing her out of the moor cats’ territory for her own gain, how Bumble starved and eventually died (likely by Clear Sky and not just the fox like that fox heart claimed!).
I headcanon Windstar, all those moons later, looked at Rocky and felt remorse for how the Clan cats’ treated Bumble, and this is why moons after what happened to Bumble, she let a kittypet, Rocky, to join her Clan instead if kicking him out like Bumble.
Unless MFV or any of the novellas disproves this, then I will keep this headcanon.
I have no idea if I will like Rocky or not, but I immediately thought of poor, sweet Bumble who is one of my favorite DOTC characters, and was stunned at the idea Windstar would allow a kittypet into her Clan after what happened with Bumble.
It’s also possible Windstar, after becoming a mother and leader, had enough character growth from Thunder Rising until MFV that the cat she is now would allow a kittypet to join even if her past self wouldn’t approve… but I’m still sticking to this headcanon.
I hope I’ll like Rocky as I continue to read MFV or at least feel neutral on him!

Rocky reminds me of that one John Denver song (“Rocky Mountain hiiiiiiigh”)
