A new arc idea for Warriors where all the protags are from outside of the clans: a she-cat from the Sisters has a calling to leave for something More, a cat from Warriorclan seeks out the original clans, a cat from the Tribes receives a prophecy meant for the clans and now doesn’t know what to do. Perhaps even a fourth cat from the city cats that Dovewing hanged out with?
Can have added fun with the return of reincarnation, each cat was a warrior from a past life and were born outside. Tbh, I would even have cats that have died twice be eligible for this (such as Bristlefrost being one of the cats because I’m still not happy with her death)
It would be interesting to see outside of the clan cat cultures and then have these cats bring back old concepts. Such as Rock and Midnight. Plus making the clans have to be saved by outsiders would be a fun change of pace.

Son of Moonlight and Root
"I'm not sure what a rogue is. I told Violetpaw last night—I travel alone. I was born in the wild. My mother left me as soon as I was old enough to hunt. I've spent most of my life trying to stay away from Twolegs. They are obsessed with trying to tempt me into their nests with food, but I don't want to live in a Twoleg nest. Twolegs are noisy, and they smell weird."

god forbid the erins face consequences for the choice they made to give tree his Own Special Role back in AVOS in order to avoid consequences for him wanting to be with violetshine but not wanting to be a part of the violent culture. god forbid the actual clan culture grow or change as a result of any of the supposed structural changes we’ve had in the last few arcs!! no just make the pacifists inept, because clearly they are too weak and spineless to be correct!
I hate Tree so much. I hate the mediator role. I hate how they had to make a special job for their special boy. It's so bad, in every way.
If it DID work, it would have torpedoed the plot. A story with an entire role dedicated to Stopping Conflict is a boring book.
Unless you're committed to changing Battle Cats into Diplomacy Cats and are going to tell stories about political escalation (like i do sometimes) this was doomed from the start
It was NEVER a good idea for the battle cat series, which SELLS itself on the idea of characters fighting
So they had to entirely forget about it.
The one time before this that he had anything to do with the plot, he refused to do his stupid job with the sisters. BECAUSE BIAS
They aren't BRAVE enough to actually address any of the critiques of this role, so, they had to forget about it because god forbid Clan Culture Be Bad
Like. Why would they listen to this outsider when they're so xenophobic?
How is Tree not biased, living in SkyClan? How would this be fair to tigerHeartstar?
Why would anyone trust someone who isn't intimately familiar with their culture to mediate disputes, anyway?
I hate this character, dude. The mediator role sucks. We shouldn't need an entire position to justify someone sitting around all day. Just say someone makes a good diplomat and leave it there

Month 3 - Newleaf
Smokyrose stretched in her nest, once again smiling when she was greeted by the sight of Songdust sleeping nearby. Ever since the Red Gut plague had struck, the Elders den had been empty and lonesome and it was good to have company once more. Smokyrose slipped quietly out of the den, leaving Songdust to enjoy her much deserved rest. 
The morning sun was beginning to peek over the distant mountains, bathing the waving planes of grass in a warm glow. The dawn patrol was just leaving, Goldenstar, Pantherhaze, and Russetfrond’s tails disappearing over the ridge, and surprising Smokyrose, Scorch was already awake. She was hunkered down in her usual spot at the entrance to the healer’s den, eating a mouse and looking as if someone might show up and fight her for it any moment. Smokyrose’s posture softened in sympathy. 
She padded across the camp, making sure to approach at a gentle pace so as not to startle the eating rogue. Regardless, when Scorch noticed her, her body stiffened and she swallowed as she pulled her meal closer to her chest. Her bright blue eyes roved over Smokyrose who could tell she was making an attempt to hide her suspicion. What happened to her, Smokyrose wondered, to instill such tendencies in her? The mediator resolved to help, at least while she could. 
“Hello, dear,” she said warmly, “How is this morning finding you?” 
“Well,” Scorch said carefully. 
Smokyrose smiled. “How’s your head? Doing better?” 
“Yes,” she replied and licked her whiskers. “Your Sagetooth says I’m allowed light activity now. Should be on my way within the moon.” She swished her tail and frowned. 
“You seem displeased,” Smokyrose observed with a tilt of her head. Scorch shifted, looking down at the half eaten mouse between her paws. Smokyrose continued, “Why don’t you walk with me. I need to move my old bones and I could use some company while I do.” Scorch glanced up at her, seeming to be calculating her options before she stood. 
“Of course,” she purred with a gracious nod. “Who am I to decline such a request?” 
“A cat who can do as she pleases,” Smokyrose chuckled. Scorch let out a small humorous breath, looking at her paws and then lifted her head to meet Smokyrose’s gaze. 
“Yes, but my mothers would have my tail if they caught me being so rude to my elders,” said Scorch, pushing the mouse to the side for later. “I’d love to accompany you, ma’am.” 
“Please, call me Smokyrose,” she said. 
“Smokyrose,” repeated Scorch. “A pleasure. You can call me Scorch.” 
“Good to know,” said Smokyrose, ignoring the fact that everyone in camp knew her name. After waiting for Scorch to fall in beside her, she led the way out of camp. 
“So,” she said, “You mentioned your mothers? Tell me about them. They seem stern.” Scorch half smiled, half winced. 
“Yes,” she said, “they were. They found me when I was just a kitten, took me in, brought me up. They raised half the neighborhood.” 
“Neighborhood?” asked Smokyrose, invigorated by the conversation and exercise. 
“Oh, um, a large group of twoleg dens,” said Scorch. 
“I see. And your mothers raised lots of kits in that area?” 
“Yes, it was kind of their thing. They took in kits, raised them up with a firm paw and a sharp tongue.” Scorch mimed a firm paw as she said it, bringing her paw down on an invisible kit’s head. Smokyrose frowned sympathetically. 
“A firm paw, eh?” she probed. 
“Yes,” Scorch nodded and failed to elaborate. Smokyrose decided to try a different line of questioning. 
“I’m sure you’ve been asked many times, but if you would indulge an old queen’s curiosity, what do you plan to do once you get the okay to leave?” 
“I suppose I’ll head out. Probably travel north, see if there’s a place with good prey that I can settle down.” 
“I wouldn’t suggest going north,” Smokyrose cautioned. “SkyClan holds the territory there. You’d have better luck going east.” 
“Duly noted,” Scorch said, flicking one ear. 
“I hope you’ve enjoyed your stay, Scorch,” said Smokyrose, smiling at her. “I really do.” 
Scorch seemed thoughtful. “I don’t know if ‘enjoyed’ would be accurate but… I will say it hasn’t been as unpleasant as I assumed it would be.” 
“Damnation with faint praise,” Smokyrose laughed and Scorch chuckled a bit. 
“Sorry, I didn’t mean to offend,” she said. 
“No, no, you didn’t,” assured the mediator. “I just wish I knew how to make you feel more welcome.” 
Scorch seemed uncomfortable. “Ah, I… I’m sure.” 
“Oh?” Smokyrose tilted her head, “Sure of what?” Scorch swallowed and cast her gaze away into the grass. There was a long pause before she eventually spoke.
“That…” she sighed. “Forgive me, but if I may speak candidly-”
Smokyrose purred, “Please. Do.” 
“Your Clans, they… feel like they’re meant to draw cats in and keep them there. The names, the rules, the… magical star gods, it all just…” a wave rippled down Scorch’s tail as she chewed on the words. “It… It worries me. It feels like a trap.” 
“I see,” Smokyrose said, processing the information. “Can you explain why?” 
Scorch frowned in thought. “It’s very… familiar,” she decided. “I’ve seen cats use similar rules, similar… stories to take advantage of other cats. I don’t trust it.” 
Smokyrose nodded, considering everything Scorch had said. As a mediator, she was well practiced in seeing things from different perspectives. After a moment, she spoke. “That makes sense. I don’t have the experiences you have, in fact, I haven’t experienced anything but living in RisingClan. But you’ve shared a lot, so why don’t I share a bit, hmm?” Scorch seemed interested, her head lifting slightly, ears forward, eyes open and intent on her, so she proceeded.
“My sister, Sunstar, was Goldenstar’s predecessor. She and I were close and she often confided in me.” She looked out over the grass and imagined her sister, her kind, brave, infuriating sister, waiting for her just ahead. Her heart ached but she pushed through the feeling.
“She was never close with StarClan.” Scorch let out an unintentional noise that sounded to Smokyrose like ‘here we go again.’ Smokyrose didn’t take it personally. Instead she continued, “She spoke with them not infrequently. There’s a place up in the mountains where you can visit them in dreams and when she first became leader she went to seek their guidance whenever she was presented with an important decision. And after a while, she started to get angry with them.”
“Really?” Scorch asked skeptically. 
“Mhm,” said Smokyrose, remembering the way Sunstar had stalked back and forth below the little tree where they used to talk. “She thought they were… selfish. And short sighted. After a while, she stopped going to seek their guidance. She started doing things her way. They sent omens to change her mind but she didn’t listen. She knew what she thought was right for her Clan and she followed her heart.” She stopped and turned to face Scorch whose lips were pursed tightly. 
“What I mean to say is that… I see your point,” Smokyrose said. “And I know that the way we do things might not be the best way. But I do know that Goldenstar takes after my sister. What she wants most is for her Clanmates to be happy. And I know that she sees a loneliness in you, one that she thinks would be helped by having some place to call home.” Scorch shifted her weight, unable to look Smokyrose directly in the eyes. The mediator smiled. “I’m inclined to agree with her. I think RisingClan could be your home. If you chose it.” 
Scorch opened her mouth then closed it again. Smokyrose could see the conflict on her face, knew that she was trying to parse multiple warring desires. She let her tail brush against Scorch’s reassuringly and dipped her head to try and look the rogue in the eyes. 
“You have plenty of time to think about what I’ve said. Don’t feel like you owe me an answer. For what it’s worth, I’d be happy to bring some of your concerns to Goldenstar and see if there was a way to change our Clan for the better. Would that be alright with you?” 
Scorch hesitated, then replied, “I suppose it couldn’t hurt. She won’t be upset?” 
“No,” Smokyrose laughed. “Not much can get under her fur. Come, why don’t we start looping back to camp and you can tell me in more detail what worries you about our way of life. Don’t hold back, I want to know everything.” 
“Okay.” Scorch nodded. “Thank you.” 
“It’s my pleasure, dear,” said Smokyrose. “Walk with me.” She pressed close to Scorch’s side and leaned a bit of her weight on the younger, heartier cat. Scorch didn’t pull away and after a moment they found a rhythm, their paws falling on the same beats. Scorch began to speak and Smokyrose listened, committing every worry to memory. She wanted to make sure she could relay it all perfectly when she spoke with Goldenstar.

There’s so many toms that I hate because they were shoved into the plot to steal a she-cats story for themselves… it’s SO OBVIOUS when the Erins do this. The she-cats deserve to have just as much of an arc and character depth as the toms do, yet the writing team consistently devolves it’s female cast into accessories for their male counterparts.
Examples:
- Alderheart (blatantly having been written to strip sparkpelt of an arc that so clearly should’ve been her own - ie “the spark that remains” - sparkpelt is then twisted into a xenophobic jerk at the drop of a hat to make alderheart look better than her, when previously she was VERY MUCH in support of SkyClan’s return. What the fuck, Erins??? Sandstorm is also iced for this loser’s manpain.
- Nightheart (basically every she-cat has their personality altered to fit his victim complex, and we all KNOW that Finchlight would’ve been more interesting and deserving of a pov than him. If they kill off spark, finch, or sun to further his angst, I will be so pissed off…
- Tree (violetshine’s character growth, struggles, and arc completely disintegrates with his introduction. in tbc, she’s reduced to your typical background protag mother… while tree remains a major character, and is not only hugely valued by the plot, but also by its characters. violetshine deserved so much better than to be shoved to the sidelines by this random-ass character who was *totally not introduced just to make her into a a generic wife and mother*. that’s not even getting into how stupid the Sisters fiasco is, where ‘waaah tree was oppressed by all the women in his life and kicked out, isn’t he just so tragic and sad???’… good god. that was bizarre
- brambleclaw: probably one of the worst offenders of this, right alongside alderheart. Tawnypelt should’ve gotten his pov, considering her personality in TNP… it seems liked they flipped their stories around just because she’s a she-cat, and they just *had* to make the main protagonist of the arc a tom. very disapointing
- rootspring: bristlefrost’s character arc was absolutley DERAILED by this character, and it’s such a shame. even her most iconic scene, her sacrifice, was primarily focused upon rootspring and his pissbaby manpain. also… needleclaw, anyone? she’s the one who should have the sisters’ abilities, after all, but instead she has none… how does she feel about that? I think exploring that would be much more interesting than ‘whiny loser is upset and feels weird that he can see ghosts in a society that values the ability to see ghosts, gets a girl by being weirdly pushy and not taking ‘no’ for an answer, and goes through extreme manpain after she’s iced to further his development’.
- crowfeather: I don’t have any qualms with early crowPAW, but what I DO have an issue with is just how much feathertail’s death is twisted to revolve around *him*, when, in reality, it should’ve focused on Feathertail herself, as well as her brother. FeatherCrow was just awful in general though… especially considering that her name is only invoked later on as an excuse for crowfeather to be an abuser, implying that he’s justified in hurting his wife and son, as well as leafpool and her kits, ‘because manpain’.
real & true, it sucks seeing how many mollies in the series will have really interesting stories and potential conflicts then have the writing team choose whatever supports the main dude around them. more i think about tree the more annoyed i am that it wasn't violet, the big prophecy kitten who had survived the kin and would have more reason to want to keep the clans from tearing each other's throats out. the mediator role is a dumb one (i say with my mediator oc) but it would have been nice if it was actually a character who we followed who got the position instead of "my mommy is mean to me :(" rando dude who just shows up.
