Tigerstar (the first)

“Keep your eyes open, Fireheart. Keep your ears pricked. Keep looking behind you. Because one day I’ll find you, and then you’ll be crowfood.”

Definitely the stable of Thunderclan standards

Large, broad, and fluffy. Pretty much a tank.

Big paws and pretty strong hind legs from Skyclan ancestry

Family trait: long claws and long teeth

I like to hc that Oakheart gave him the nose scar and the torn is from from Redtail. The belly scar was from Fireheart.

The long claws trait is from Leopardfoot.

Bisexual

I like him as a base and the potential he could have.

I don’t like Tigerclaw’s Fury for several reasons, such as the many obvious mistakes and the way Mapleshade is involved in this book. But what is annoying me the most is how Runningnose says Nightstar doesn’t have the strength to name a new deputy after Cinderfur dies, Nightstar then manages to formally welcome Tigerclaw to camp immediately after this, and then it is established in the novella that a whole moon passes until Nightstar dies after this? Why didn’t he just name a new deputy? He managed to say a whole formal greeting surely he could cough out the name of a deputy over the next month?

Note: Character does not have to be the main protagonist, just a protagonist. Can be any kind of villain, including (but not limited to): just straight up evil, former and "because the narrative says so" villains.

Submissions for this tournament are still open, I'm just getting as many prelims out of the way as I can before they close.

i know mapleshade being overused is no hot take in the warriors fandom anymore but you can't imagine my disappointment to find out later in the book that this voice in tigerclaw's head was never simply just his own self criticism but just mapleshade being mean to him for some reason

it would've been so interesting to see that despite how cruel he was to those around him, the one he was cruelest to in the end, was himself - that thistleclaw's brutal treatment really stuck with him in more ways than one, that he considered himself a failure if he did not push his ambitions to their very limits and succeed at what the mentor he both respected and resented failed and would not dare to do.

i also love that despite it's minor failings, this book also gives us a slight layer of nuance to his character - that despite him being a despicable character till the very end, willing and ready to kill and manipulate his way to the very top, there's still a hint of discomfort and remorse at the possibility of his former clanmates dying in the forest fire

he excuses his discomfort to mapleshade as him not being able to destroy them himself, but the horror and dread he feels is evident.

despite us knowing very little about their overall relationship, later on he's relieved to see that his former mate goldenflower is unharmed. given that we're never shown or told of any instances where's they're openly affectionate towards one another and he doesn't technically have any 'need' for her to survive (i say this with the assumption that the only big reason that tigerclaw even had kits to begin with was for a legacy and an ongoing bloodline, not for a happy family and out of sheer undying love for goldenflower), it's bizarrely sweet to me that he finds comfort in knowing that she escaped the fire, along with their daughter tawnykit.

and then, of course, the famous bramblekit scene where fireheart snatches him from the tree and the two barely escape with their lives.

this book, despite showing him committing numerous despicable actions and murder innocent cats in cold blood through his own eyes manages to give tigerclaw just a shred of humanity and care for those he once held close(ish), that despite him denouncing starclan again and again, he still whispers a silent thanks to them for saving the life of his son, that, despite his sheer undying hatred for fireheart, he puts his own pride aside for a brief moment and silently entrusts him with bramblekit's life.

when tigerclaw gave strict orders to the other shadowclan warriors to not follow him into the fire, he did so knowing that they could've seen him at his very worst - his absolute lowest point. he knew there was a large possibility that he could've easily been witness to the violent ends of his former mate and kits and lost himself there and then and potentially (in his eyes) lost the respect of his new clanmates as well, because to him in a sense, caring is a show of weakness, even for him. and idk there's just something weirdly nice about that - that despite how horrible he is there's still some depth and remorse to be found in his character and idk i just think that's neat

I find it interesting that Tigerstar still has some morals despite being the stereotypical "Warriors villain". Even after being outcasted, he still cares somewhat about the fire hitting ThunderClan's camp (reasoning to himself that no cat deserves to die in fire), was terrified for his son, and is even courteous to his allies (getting up carefully in the morning so that he doesn't wake them up). It's little moments like that that give some depth to a character who would otherwise be little else than a manipulative, power-hungry antagonist.
