There's a few for me but my biggest one is Moth Flight. The fandom really never moved away from the 2010s style "I hate x female character she's a naggy shallow jealous bitch I hope she dies" mindset- they just moved it to different characters and worded it differently. I'm not saying you have to like her at all, but the way some people discuss her character is like, again, okay, you just reinvented someone who thinks Nightcloud should die horribly for being annoying or something Warrior cats has the funniest fandom because everyone will talk about how much we need good female characters with nuance but then we have people who are like. "Spottedleaf was the devil". We are a coin with one side

First one that comes to mind is Dovewing (and Ivypool). I love both of the sisters, their complex relationship is good to me and I’d defend both. Squirrelflight, Leafpool too. I’m trying to think of others, but I think I just enjoy sisters lol

My biggest gripe with her, is her forcing that rule onto everyone. We get that she struggled, but not every cat was going to. I just don't see her logic fair in the slightest. And all it did was cause unnecessary heartbreak

Tigerheartstar for me! I just think he's a funny little kitty who MIGHT be trying to take over Riverclan but who knows I've only read up to the first chapter of Thunder whoops . I love his relationship with Dovewing and his kits. I especially like him so far in ASC, but I've only read up to the beginning of Thunder so my opinion might change haha. Also I love Nightheart so much. He's a brat and my son.

Lately I've been inclined to defend Lionblaze. The fandom perception seems to be "big dumb himbo" and/or "boring" but I think he had a lot of interesting stuff going on with him in Power of Three (I liked how he was handled in TBC also) it just goes... under-explored. I think he had a lot of potential to be a super interesting character. His intrusive thoughts and anger issues, the fact that he was mentored by Ashfur, his whole relationship to Heathertail... I just think he's neat

I just think he's neat I like him more than most people, and I think he's actually pretty interesting in PoT. But on the other hand he really did not need to be a protagonist for two arcs. OotS is probably what gave him the fandom perception he has now because he wasn't really all that interesting now that his character arc had all but concluded. It felt like he was just along for the ride. Definitely he had a lot of potential to work with, the Erins just didn't use it!

Dovewing and, this might be a hot take, but Star Flower.

Nightcloud - I'm on her side idc. You'd be pissed too if your husband's ex was confessing her love to him in front of you & your son.
Crowfeather - Leafpool is far more at fault for his rejection of the 3 than he is. He did not deserve to have all that sprung up on him publicly. The fact that she gets to have a relationship with their children while he doesn't despite her being at fault for not allowing him to have relationships with them in the first place pisses me off.
Needletail - This is a heavily neglected teenage girl who made bad choices because she craved even a little bit of acknowledgement and appreciation, leave her alone.
Frecklewish AND Mapleshade - They both made mistakes but they both have ALL my sympathy which I will never afford a dirty filthy cheating man (the fact that Appledusk has FANS, not just sympathizers but FANS after cheating feels so misogynistic to me) or a medicine cat & leader who CHOSE to endanger kits. They were grieving & not in the right headspace. Mapleshade was having full on hallucinations, she was literally mentally ill with ZERO support of guidance.

It would have been the perfect end to his arc. As it is, he didn’t really do anything all of OOTS.

Crowfeather, Lionblaze, Mothwing to an extent, Squirrelflight, Breezepelt Crowfeather is honestly in my top three favorite characters after reading is Se I can understand him so much better and he is just such a well written with so much trauma and on top of that stuff to live up to ex: the quest in TNP, his whole family being deputy, and what smart but stupid Harestar expects him to be!. Lionblaze is a gentle giant and just got too much sudden hate for the Cinderheart thing it was mostly her fault for it being so put off. The problem I have with him is, why were his kits so lame? Anyway I love how the HeatherxLion thing played out and in the big scheme of cats to complain about there is plenty worse. Mothwing is a pretty good character with bad decisions and in the end made some bad choices. Her not believing in starclan thing was pretty cool allowing her to see reason the other cats didn't, but also made her character unlikable not only being relentless and spiteful with poor Shadowsight but also the cats in the dark forrest. I think she was played out well and some of her bad decisions made her complicated character. Squirrel gets way too much hate from fans online! Her relationship with Bramble was bad but that's a whole other thing and pretty much his problem. she did what was right most of the time even though is hurt her I think she was pretty cool in TNP then started rolling downhill in POT and OOTS but picked it back up in AVOS and was awesome in TBC. WAYYYY TOO MUCH HATE!!!!! Ah Breezepelt I really feel bad for the poor guy he deserves better from anyone and everyone. He had such an awful childhood and was just such a sad and well-written trauma filled cat.

Pip the Terrier, duh. He's treated as a "nuisance" despite being the best character in POT and an all around good guy.
In all seriousness, Leafpool.
