Heathertail and Breezepelt ain't Heathy

In the fourth arc of the Warriors Series, Breezepelt and Heathertail were confirmed to be mates. But are they destined to follow the fate of Nightcloud and Crowfeather's relationship or could they somehow overcome it?


Why they're probably not a heathy couple:

I think it's impossible for Breezepelt to ever be a stable mate or father. As an apprentice, Breezepaw was disrespectful and insulted everyone around him, including his Clanmates. He's controlling of the other apprentices, including Heatherpaw and she has to serve as his apologist:

Breezepaw's controlling nature:

"Though you couldn't tell it from his manner. He's been trying to boss the other apprentices from the moment he went from a 'kit to a 'paw."

"He led out a patrol of apprentices to see if the dogs had come back to the far corner of our territory. Without asking permission, of course, and without even a single warrior for backup." - Whitetail about Breezpaw controlling the apprentices, Outcast Page 135

"And then there was the fight you provoked with the RiverClan patrol...They were not trespassing, they were not stealing prey, and Onestar didn't appreciate having to apologize to Mistyfoot for the trouble you caused...Breezepaw has many lessons to learn before he becomes a warrior."—Tornear about Breezepelt Outcast, Page 136

(Specially Heatherpaw's the personal experience) "Breezepaw thinks that I have to do what he says because his father, Crowfeather, is my mentor."

"It's hard to believe, but Breezepaw can be great fun on a good day." (Take note of "good day", this implies him being "fun" is rare and he's difficult a majority of time.) – The Sight

At the Gathering, he rudely questions Heatherpaw's choose in peers and pressures her away:

"You're not going to waste your time chatting to these two, are you?" The black-pelted WindClan apprentice sat down beside Heatherpaw. "Ivypaw and Owlpaw have just challenged Berrypaw to a competition to see who can jump the highest." He licked a forepaw and drew it over his ear. "Why don't you go and watch it, then?" Heatherpaw replied. "Why don't you come with me?" A challenging glint sparked in Breezepaw's eye." – The Dark River

Heatherpaw feels the need to apologize for someone else she knows is in the wrong:

"Please don't be angry," Heatherpaw begged. "Crowfeather's always bad-tempered. It's just his way. And Breezepaw thinks he's a warrior already." – The Dark River

Example of Breezepelt ordering Heatherpaw around:

"Breezepaw sent me to catch mice between the rocks just over the top of the moor, not far from camp. I chased one down into a crack and realized that the crack opened into a tunnel. When I went inside I found that there were tunnels leading everywhere." – The Dark River.

Heatherpaw and Breezepaw arguing over his bullying of Jaypaw:

Contrasting reactions to Jaypaw falling in the Lake: "Will he be okay, Whitetail?", [Heatherpaw] mewed. She crept forward and crouched beside Jaypaw. He could feel her pelt trembling against his. "He'll be fine, Heatherpaw.". [...] [Breezepaw] snorted, "Typical that a ThunderClan cat should thank us by trying to drown us!" [...] Heatherpaw leaned closer in, brushing Jaypaw's pelt with her whiskers. "Can you see anything at all?" she asked curiously. Breezepaw snorted. "If he can, he must be stupid, walking off the edge of a cliff!" - The Sight

"Now What?" Breezepae snapped, "Do you think you can lead us back? Or did you just bring us here to show us a boulder? Let me guess, it's a special Starclan rock and it's going to tell us where the kits are."-Heatherpaw hissed at her Clanmate, "Shut up!"
