Warrior Cats/Characters/Others

While many characters in Warrior Cats belong to a Clan or Tribe, there are some who either do not, or have an unknown affiliation.

Ravenpaw


""Just because I live outside the forest doesn't mean that I reject the warrior code. It is a noble path for cats to walk, and I would defend it as willingly as any warrior.""

Formerly a ThunderClan apprentice, and a good friend of Firestar and Graystripe. Fearing for his life as Tigerclaw began turning the Clan against him, Firestar takes him to live with Barley, a farmcat on the far edge of the Clans' territory. Much preferring his life there, he never does rejoin the Clans, though he remains their ally, even joining them in the battle against BloodClan.


 * A Day in the Limelight: His manga series, Ravenpaw's Path
 * He Knows Too Much: Subverted. Tigerclaw plots to kill him because of his knowledge of Redtail's death, but Firepaw and Graypaw find out before he can, so Ravenpaw runs away.
 * Heterosexual Life Partners: With Barley. At least, that's what Word of God says...
 * Took a Level in Badass: In The Darkest Hour, he walks right into TigerClan territory and frees Mistyfoot and Graystripe's kits by pretending to be a RiverClan cat. Pretty good for someone who used to be afraid of his own shadow.

Purdy
An old cat who shows up from time to time in order to help the heroes. He enjoys telling long-winded stories and claiming that he used to have great hunting and fighting skills.


 * Ascended Extra:
 * Badass Grandpa
 * Cool Old Guy
 * Heterosexual Life Partners: He was with Sol,
 * Old Windbag: He loves nothing better than to tell stories.
 * Short Cuts Make Long Delays: He claims he knows a shortcut, but it isn't necessarily the quickest route.

Sasha


The mother of Hawkfrost and Mothwing, and once mate to. Formerly a kittypet, she decided to become a rogue when her Twoleg was taken to a nursing home.


 * A Day in the Limelight: Her manga
 * Berserk Button: Do not claim that she is a poor mother, or threaten her kits. She will nearly kill you for it.
 * Despair Event Horizon:
 * Mama Bear
 * Parental Abandonment: Leaves her kits in RiverClan.
 * Small Role, Big Impact: In The New Prophecy

Barley


""Blood isn't everything. Loyalty is everything. And Ravenpaw has been more loyal to me than you could be in a hundred lifetimes.""

A loner who lives on a farm with Ravenpaw. He's rather quiet and shy, but is always willing to help out the Clan cats.


 * A Day in the Limelight: His manga
 * Chekhov's Gunman
 * Deadpan Snarker
 * The Quiet One

Princess


Firestar's kittypet sister. During the first series, he'd often visit her to reminisce about kittypet life, and share stories about the Clans. She is the mother of Cloudtail, and gives him to the Clan as a kit because Firestar likes his life there so much.


 * Flanderization: She starts out as level-headed and understanding, but by the sixth book has become a hysterical worrywart.
 * Alternate Character Interpretation could have it that Princess was always a ditz with that one moment of genius concerning that trap for Cinderpelt and that she only seemed so level-headed because times were good when Firestar first visited,but got worse and worse.
 * The Ditz: Her later character.

Smudge
Firestar's childhood friend before he joins ThunderClan. Unlike Rusty, Smudge would rather not try and live like a wild cat. However, he does fear for his old friend's safety.

Took a Level in Badass: Mostly subverted. Smudge is normally scared of wild cats, but Once that's done, he's back to his normal self.

Snowdrop
A kittypet who shows up in The Fourth Apprentice. Despite not having an interest in Clan life, she does want an adventure, and helps the Clan cats solve the beaver problem.


 * Action Girl
 * Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass
 * The Ditz
 * Jumped At the Call

Scourge


A bloodthirsty and violent cat from the city, and the leader of a gang of strays known as "BloodClan". An excellent fighter despite his small size, he delights in killing and bloodshed, and is described more or less in terms of pure evil. He serves as the Big Bad to Tigerstar in the sixth book, and is finally killed by Firestar during a war over who will own the forest: the four Clans, or BloodClan.


 * Asskicking Equals Authority: He's the most lethal combatant in the series, and that's why he's leader of BloodClan.
 * Axe Crazy: Is very quietly insane.
 * Blue Eyes
 * Icy Blue Eyes
 * Cain and Abel: With Firestar
 * Co-Dragons: He and Blackfoot take this role during The Darkest Hour.
 * Dragon Ascendant: Becomes the Big Bad after killing Tigerstar.
 * Evil Is Cold: His blue eyes are described as "chips of ice, untouched by even the slightest warmth of StarClan."
 * Final Boss: He's not really the Big Bad, but he takes Tigerstar's place as the main physical threat in the sixth book.
 * Freudian Excuse: He was bullied by his siblings, and, fearing that he was unwanted by humans and therefore going to be drowned in the river, ran away to the forest, where he was nearly killed by Tigerpaw. He went to the city, where he was still picked on until he made a name for himself through violence.
 * Large and In Charge: Inverted. Scourge is the smallest cat in the group, barely larger than an apprentice.
 * Moral Event Horizon: According to him, ripping out a cat's throat.
 * Pint-Sized Powerhouse: Although he's said he'd rather be as tall as his reputation implies, his small stature also means it's very difficult to even lay a paw on him.
 * Runt
 * Social Darwinist: If you're strong you live, if you're weak, die and get out of everyone else's way.
 * The Unfavorite: He thinks his mother likes his siblings better, even if she doesn't say it.
 * Used To Be A Sweet Kit: Compare Scourge to Tiny.

From left to right: Pounce, Snapper (Willie's bruiser), Willie (the leader of the gang and the main villain of the Ravenpaw's Path trilogy), Minty (Willie's mate), Tess.

In general they provide examples of:

 * Bitch in Sheep's Clothing
 * The Chessmaster: Willie
 * Demoted to Extra: They (aside from Willie) have significantly less screen time after Shattered Peace.

 * The Heavy: Most of the villainous acts done by Neo BloodClan are led by him.
 * Remember the New Guy?: He doesn't appear in The Rise of Scourge or The Darkest Hour, but Barley assures that he was always there as a high ranking BloodClan member.

Sol


A mysterious and charismatic cat who has recently appeared in Clan territory. He is extremely persuasive, his voice being described as "hypnotic". Exactly what he's after is not known, but he has several times attempted to turn the Clan cats away from their beliefs in StarClan, and is not very well trusted.

 * Meaningful Name: Sol shares his name with the Roman god of the sun, as well as meaning sun in, most notably, Latin and Spanish. In the book where he first appears, he.

Midnight


A badger who lives by the ocean, Midnight is, unusually for her species, friendly towards cats and knows StarClan quite well. It is she who delivers the prophecy that the Clans must move to a new territory, and also helps the Clans out when her fellow badgers make an attack on the Clans.

 * Eloquent in My Native Tongue
 * Hulk Speak: Midnight is highly intelligent and in fact speaks about four animal languages or more... but that doesn't mean she's mastered them.
