As many of you may know, Tigerheart is Tigerstar now. This might be just me but I was kinda hoping that Tawnypelt would become the new leader of ShadowClan. First of all, her name would sound really cool. Tawnystar. Second of all, I just feel like she'd be good. Enough about Tawnypelt, first let's talk about Tigerkit. It obviously scared Jayfeather that Tawnypelt decided to call her kit Tigerkit. The past, as you probably know, the clans had a great deal of trouble with a cat also named after a tiger. I love how enthusiastic Tigerkit was about being Jayfeather's 'kin' when it was still believed that Brambleclaw was the father of him and the other two. He was a cool kit. I don't think there was really much said about his apprentice hood, or I just don't remember, but it was when Tigerheart became a warrior, and Dovepaw was still an apprentice, that they met on the journey to the beavers. At first I thought that Tigerheart was more interested in Dovepaw than she was in him but obviously that changed. I'm not sure I would call his decision about meeting Dovepaw/ Dovewing at night bad, but it's against the Warrior Code either way. I don't remember if this happened before or after Dovewing and Tigerheart fell for each other but I don't like how Tigerheart supported Dawnpelt in saying that Jayfeather was a murderer, even when he knew full well that Jayfeather wasn't. Obviously he was just supporting his littermate but I think both he and Dawnpelt should have just appreciated that Jayfeather even tried to save Flametail in the first place. He could have just done nothing because he knew he would be risking his own life to save Flametail, but instead, Jayfeather went after him. I'm not sure if Jayfeather told them that it was actually StarClan telling Jayfeather to let Flametail go and that it was his time to die. Anyway enough about Jayfeather. The next big thing that happens with Tigerheart is that he becomes deputy to Rowanstar, his own father. I thought it was a good choice but then... Anyway let's go in order. Let's not jump ahead. I don't like how Tigerheart left ShadowClan to run away with Dovewing and bare her kits when he was deputy and Rowanstar was weak so he needed a strong deputy anyways. In the time Tigerheart was gone, ShadowClan had joined with SkyClan, so a lot changed for Tigerheart. Also the fact that he came back with Dovewing so wounded that he died, went to StarClan, talked to them, literally CAME BACK TO LIFE FROM THE DEAD, and emerged as Tigerstar, leader of ShadowClan with nine lives must have been stressful as well. It was all quite confusing to read. I like Tigerheart/ Tigerstar and I really didn't think he would be such an ambitious leader. I really, really hate how he wanted to get rid of SkyClan even after everything they had done for ShadowClan, while he had gone off not caring about ShadowClan at all and breaking the warrior code and making kits with Dovewing. Like seriously, not cool. HE WANTED TO HUNT ON THEIR FRICKING LAND THAT ROWANSTAR LEGITIMATELY GAVE TO THEM!!!!!!!! Like dude, what do you expect????!!!! That SkyClan's just gonna accept and deal with it? IN YOUR DREAMS MAN!!! No wonder that SkyClan attacked a ShadowClan patrol heading for they're territory. And then Tigerstar makes ShadowClan raid SkyClan camp and destroy every den, just so they leave. I was seriously concerned that he would be more like his evil grandfather (the other Tigerstar) than I thought he would be. I thought he would be a humble leader, but instead he was ambitious and mean. I honestly thought that Tigerstar had no emotion whatsoever, until he took Alderheart into the camp with Puddleshine, and I saw how much he cared for his kit that had seizures, Shadowkit. At the end, I'm glad that Tigerstar let SkyClan return in peace.
This one is soooooooooooo long. I didn't know I had that much to say about Tigerheart. I think Tawnypelt would have been a better leader than him though. What do you think?
