Hmm... unpopular opinion. Or maybe just an opinion
Heathertail was wasted potential. Being the daughter of a leader, her friendship with Lionpaw, her brother is a villian, and shes very compassionate. It feels so strange seeing how her character just drops completely flat after Power of Three even though she has so much going for her.
strongly agree | agree | neutral | disagree | strongly disagree
HEATHERTAILS TREATMENT IS MY VILLAIN ORIGIN STORY FOR REAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i will never shut up about how poorly fanon and canon treated her and how some people called her abusive and uncomfortable for hating lionblaze after he beat her and tried to kill her mentor. “oooo what a shrill harpy” i will rob your house
i also dont like how shes just kinda reduced to “breezepelt’s wife”. breezeheather is cute and all, but shes got so much more going on than that. heathertail is someone who feels very strongly and yet will always set that aside to do the right thing. that scene everyone complains about is actually a great example: lionblaze is trespassing on her land and stealing medicine that could go to her clan. this guy beat her and tried to kill her mentor and then repeatedly stated he would try again in a war, over an assumption he could not confirm. she has every right to tell him to fuck himself sideways. but she doesnt, because she understands that this isnt about lionblaze, its about everyone suffering from the epidemic in thunderclan. so while she isnt friendly in the slightest, she still lets him have the herbs. because she doesnt let her own hangups get in the way of justice (btw this is why she shouldve been the one to sneak shadowclan the herbs in avos. i know her being onestars daughter wasnt hard canon but what a missed opportunity to do something there with her brother)
the thing with onestar and darktail being her family was a retcon but its something they couldve done something with and they just. didnt. cause shes breezepelts wife now so she cant have anything more i guess.
lionblaze basically mistreats her and then she falls off when he gets over that and it SUCKS man.
