Spottedfire's Favorite Warrior Cat Quotes

"I don't know when the end came for Swiftpaw. I only remember him fighting like all of LionClan. That's how I will always remember him.” – Brightheart

X

"I understand how you feel. Your eyes have always betrayed your heart. But these are my kits, and I will die to protect them if I have to. I'm afraid for them, Fireheart. The Clan will never forgive Tigerclaw - nor should they. But Bramblekit and Tawnykit have done nothing wrong, and I will not let them be punished because of Tigerclaw." – Goldenflower

X

"You'll never win! You can kill me! But that won't stop me! Ill find you beyond my death, and I'll stop you!" Jayfeather

X

"We have to let the warrior code rule our hearts. The death of a warrior does not mean victory." – Hollyleaf

X

"I wished you'd been my son, but I could not have borne a cat like you. StarClan gave me Brokentail to teach me a lesson." – Yellowfang

X

"It's only your belief in ancient traditions that make you believe you can't be leader without dragging all the way up to Highstones and back. As far as I'm concerned, you've already proved yourself to be the true leader of this Clan, Firestar." – Cloudtail

X

"Upset? I'm not upset. You have no idea how much pain I'm in. It's like being cut open every day, bleeding onto the stones. I can't understand how any of you failed to see the blood...” – Ashfur

X

"When the Clans have a common enemy, we unite to defend ourselves. We have to help those cats!" – Foxleap

X

"I give you a life for speaking out against injustice, for pursuing the truth above all else. Lies bring shadows in which darker things can hide. Never fear the truth, Brambleclaw, however blinding it may be." – Ravenpaw

X

"Loyalty is proved by what we do, not where we come from!" – Sorreltail

Spottedfire's Favorite Warrior Cats ; *MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS*

Jayfeather ; Since the beginning I have honestly loved him. I adored his grumpiness and attitude just because it added spice to the story (lol, what? XD). I believe he actually kind of deserved to be the way he is, considering he was kind of ripped from what he really wanted to be, a warrior, considering he couldn’t really do anything warrior-like being blind. He never really wanted to be a medicine cat, I mean, who wants to deal with blood, mouse-bile, and sick cats? I would not enjoy that!

Mapleshade ; She’s my favorite villain out of all of the other numb-skulls. She’s such a badass character and doesn’t take shit from anyone. She killed off two of my least favorite cats: Spottedleaf and Appledusk (which made me love her more! :)) Another reason why I love her is because after I read “Mapleshade’s Vengeance” I felt some pity for her. I mean, she was thrown out of her Clan just because she had kits from another Clan, which every cat basically does nowadays in the Warriors’ world, her kits drowned, and she was dissed by the last hope she had. That’s a pretty sucky life. Though, I guess she took care of herself, I mean, she killed all of her “enemies” and kind of died afterwards.

Ravenpaw ; I fell in love with his skittishness and his cute little personality. I loved how the simplest things could scare the shit out of him. I mean, who doesn’t at least like him? I, just as Mapleshade, felt sympathy towards him. He had a mentor who was a complete ass and threatened to kill him if he told the Clan the truth about Redtail’s death. Ravenpaw was so scared that he left his Clan, which I don’t blame him. Though, being a loner must have changed him, because he came back and helped beat the shit out of BoneClan! :D

Hollyleaf ; In all honesty, the Erin’s should have made her one of the three. I don’t care if she had no powers, she would have been so much better than that annoying bitch, Dovewing. I had admired Hollyleaf’s intelligence, loyalty, and courageousness throughout the series. Of course, I didn’t really approve of her killing Ashfur (even if he was a little bit of a douche), but she regretted killing him and running away, then she went off and saved Ivypool from death, which kind of patched up her killing Ashfur. Also, I admired how she was very dedicated to the Warrior Code, which more cats should be. She and Fallen Leaves are really cute together too.

Blackstar ; He is such a freaking badass! I mean, he lived through basically the whole series. I admired how in the beginning he was a cat who simply trying to follow in Tigerstar’s paw-steps but he changed once he realized his mistakes. He helped his Clan through multiple turmoil’s and hard-ships. I’d say that ShadowClan was lucky to have him as their leader. I say, he deserved the title as a noble leader and didn’t deserve to drown, he deserved a more noble death.

Spottedfire's Least Favorite Warrior Cats ; *MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS*

Millie ; Of course, when she first met Graystripe she was so amazing and a pretty cool cat, like how she was able to communicate with dogs and how she saved Graystripe so much. She was a brave cat I have to admit. But when Briarlight had her accident, all she was committed to was being around her. She disregarded her other two kits and only cared for Briarlight. She was an awful mother towards Blossomfall and Bumblestripe after Briarlight’s accident.

Foxheart ; She was just flat out annoying, extremely rude and arrogant towards Yellowfang, and just UGH! Her name fits her personality so much. She did not attempt to be friends towards Yellowfang and merely snapped, hissed, growled, and complained towards her, saying how she deserves the affection of Raggedpelt instead of Yellowfang. I was so happy when she was killed by those rats.

Rainflower ; She is kind of like Millie was, only opposite. At least when Briarlight got hurt, Millie would still care for her, but when Stormkit slipped and broke his jaw, Rainflower completely neglected him and simply let all of her affection flow into Oakkit. Mapleshade was much more of a mother towards Stormkit than Rainflower was! At least in the beginning Mapleshade would talk to him, help him, and would simply be there for him. Rainflower was a just self-centered cat and was completely arrogant towards Stormkit. She also forced him to change his name! Why couldn't he just keep his name? What was the point in changing it?

Spiderleg ; No one knows why Spiderleg chose to be with Daisy, he never showed any love towards her or their kits. It was like she was his one night stand. I truly believe he never really cared for her, and I believe he could care less if Daisy did not give birth to Rosekit and Toadkit. Though, I do feel bad for him though, considering his mother, father, and most of his siblings have died over time.

Tigerstar ; Everyone hates him!!! I am just kidding but a lot of people do and I can see why. Not just the fact that he killed some of the coolest cats (Brindleface, Runningwind, Redtail, Gorsepaw) and that he led a pack of dogs out to Sunningrocks, where Swiftpaw met his brutal fate and caused Brightpaw to lose half of her face. I hate him for the fact that he never showed any love towards Goldenflower in the series, he only showed some type of interest in his kits. At some point I guess he had to show some type of affection towards her, but I believe that if you choose a cat to be your mate, then you stick by their side no matter what. Goldenflower admitted that she knew Tigerstar was a monster, but she loved him no matter what.

Firestar ; I just did not like him at all. Even from the beginning he just bugged me. I hated how angry and furious about how Graystripe was seeing Silverstream, which of course is against the Warrior Code, but he himself was in love with a medicine cat, hence breaking the code himself! Also, I hated how he was so love-struck by Spottedleaf and how he seemed more interested in her than he ever was in Sandstorm. I wish he was more honest towards Sandstorm though, maybe sharing how he did have feelings for Spottedleaf. And, he was such a Gary-sue! I mean, he went off to ShadowClan and saved four kits, then named a warrior when Sandpaw and Dustpaw were older and deserved their names more than ever, then in the second book of the original arc, manages to save WindClan and return them home, then in the Omen of the Stars arc, he is the fourth cat. Like, seriously? Hollyleaf deserved that spot more than he did!

Dovewing ; I have to say, she is one of the bitchiest characters of the whole series. She complained about being a part of the prophecy and wanted to be a normal cat and all. And, she was just flat out annoying when it came to her love life. First, she fell for Tigerheart, left him for Bumblestripe, and then dumped Bumblestripe because she still had feelings for Tigerheart. Like, seriously? Ivypool would’ve made a better third cat, at least she was not a whiny bitch.

Brokenstar ; Okay, I have really only three reasons why I truly hate him. First, he forced innocent kits into battle and forced them to fight each other and fight older, more experienced cats. It led to the deaths of Mosspaw, Volepaw, and Badgerpaw (Badgerfang). Second, the way he treated Yellowfang was awful, especially all she did with him when he was a kit. And when Yellowfang’s younger siblings were killed by a fox, he completely pinned all fault on her, saying that she killed the kits. Third, he killed Ferncloud, and considering she is one of my favorite cats, well, I plan to hold a pretty large grudge on him for a while. And when Yellowfang came and snapped his neck, I was like “Yes! Yes, go Yellowfang kill that little bitch!”

Appledusk ; He was a little arrogant shit when it came to him hearing about what Mapleshade's true intentions were for crossing the flooded river with their kits. I would be mad too if I heard my children had drowned, but I wouldn’t have shoved Mapleshade aside like he did. Mapleshade didn’t deserve that kind of hatred from him and I could see why Mapleshade killed him.

Spottedleaf ; She was too desperate for Firestar’s love in my opinion. I mean, she continued to walk with him in his dreams and even said to him “Sometimes I would give anything for things to be different." And I was like, “Well, ya know, that was never going to happen.” First, she was too old for him anyway and she was a medicine cat, I do not see why she continued to have her little dreams about her and him being together and all. I can’t see why so many people ship them. Of course, her second death was sad, I was relieved that she finally went away.

IF YOU ARE AGAINST CHILD ABUSE, REPOST THIS:

My name is Joey,

I am three,

My eyes are swollen,

I cannot see,

I must be stupid,

I must be bad,

What else could have made,

My daddy so mad?

I wish I were better,

I wish I weren't ugly,

Then maybe my mommy,

Would still want to hug me,

I can't do a wrong,

I can't speak at all,

Or else I'm locked up,

All day long,

When I'm awake,

I'm all alone,

The house is dark,

My folks aren't home,

When my mommy does come home,

I'll try to be nice,

So maybe I'll just get,

One whipping tonight,

I just heard a car,

My daddy is back,

From Charlie's bar,

I hear him curse,

My name is called,

I press myself,

Against the wall,

I try to hide,

From his evil eyes,

I'm so afraid now,

I'm starting to cry,

He finds me weeping,

He calls me ugly words,

He says it's my fault,

He suffers at work,

He slaps and hits me,

And yells at me more,

I finally get free,

And run to the door,

He's already locked it,

And I start to bawl,

He takes and throws me,

Against the hard wall,

I fall to the floor,

With my bones nearly broken,

And my daddy continues,

With more bad words spoken,

"I'm Sorry!" I scream,

But it's now much to late,

His face has been twisted,

Into an unimaginable state,

The hurt and the pain,

Again and again,

Oh please God, have mercy!

Oh please let it end!

And he finally stops,

And heads for the door,

While I lay there motionless,

Sprawled out on the floor,

My name is Joey,

I am three,

Tonight my daddy,

Murdered me,

And you can help,

It strickens me to the soul,

And if you read this,

And don't pass it on,

I pray for your forgiveness,

Because you would have to be,

One heartless person,

To not be affected,

By this poem,

And because you are affected,

Do something about it!

So all I ask you to do,

Is pass this on!

If you are against CHILD ABUSE.

Please Pass This On.

I am not that girl,

The one that is super popular.

The one that is rich.

The one obsessed with Twilight.

The one that will lie to get her way.

The one that doesn't care about your feelings.

The one that wears her Team Edward or Team Jacob shirt proudly.

The one that has a new boyfriend every week.

The one that hates her life because she wears size-two jeans.

The one that would cry over a boy.

The one that loves Justin Bieber.

The one that will give up because she broke a nail.

The one that started wearing makeup at nine years old.

BUT

I am that girl,

The one who likes books more than boys.

The one who pretends not to be sad, just to make others happy.

The one who reads and writes to escape.

The one who just wants to help.

The one that really wants to make a difference.

The one that sticks to her values.

The one that doesn't look at race or homosexuality.

The one that cries when she feels alone and helpless; it only shows she's strong.

The one that knows she's beautiful, no matter what others say.

The one that refuses to believe that this is it.

The one that doesn't care if she eats too many cinnamon buns...they taste good.

The one that people like, because she's crazy.

The one that doesn't care if she looks like a retard, because if looking like a retard is what it takes, go for it.

The one that will do anything to make a better tomorrow.

The one who won't give in.

The one won't give up.
