Warrior Cats Discussion/Idea #1- Evil Medicine Cat character

This is the first 'Discussion/idea' post of many that could come in the future! For this post, I'd like to discuss a possible role and character idea that I would like to see in future books: What if there was an antagonistic medicine cat?

Throughout the Warrior's arcs, there has always been a antagonistic character that poses a threat to the safety of the clans and its members. I've always wondered: what if one of these characters served as a medicine cat?

Now, I'm going to go over how I believe a villainous medicine cat could work and how they could pose as a dangerous threat to the clans. To start, let's look into their role and what powers they hold in their position: (quoted from the Warrior Cats Wiki) 'Medicine Cats are members of the clan who treat diseases and injuries.. They receive and interpret omens and prophecies from Starclan. They are highly respected by all the clans.'

Medicine cats are well respected by all of the clans, they also hold important knowledge, such as: their leaders' nine lives, receiving important prophecies and omens about the future of the clans through Starclan, etc. What if this was exploited by a cat with malicious intentions? A medicine cat receives directions and guidance from Starclan, helping their clan in the right direction. Being a highly respected member of the clan, this cat could possibly make false claims and 'guidance' from Starclan to manipulate their leader and other cats to their pleasing. This guidance is usually given through 'prophecies' or 'omens'. These are usually given to medicine cats to foretell or warn them about a situation or event in the future. Now, let's say this cat 'received' one of these and told their leader about what they now know. This sign could be ' interpreted' as: attacking another clan; exiling a cat; sending the clan or an individual to their possible demise, etc. Or quite possibly, have the role of the clan leader also to themselves if it was 'Starclan's wisdom and what they had decided'? This cat could be highly manipulative and dangerously so.

In their respected position, these cats would easily be believed compared to a warrior in the clan due to their strong connection with Starclan and trust amongst their clanmates. As medicine cats look after their clanmates' injuries and sickness-why would this cat possibly need to be questioned if all they do is look out for the good of their clan and interpret messages from their ancestors?

Another thing that medicine cats are responsible for and have access to is the clan's herb supplies. Medicine cats are highly trained in medicine and herbs and have expansive knowledge of herbs and treatments. What if this cat brought in lethal herbs such as death berries or other deadly herbs to use against a cat or possibly another clan? They would have far more knowledge about these herbs than other cats and could they cover it up quite easily too? If there were to be a Villain medicine cat character in the near future, a concept that I have thought up of is what if they could possibly get their 'guidance' and prophecies/omens from the Dark Forest? Another scenario could be that a Dark forest cat could be pulling the strings behind the scenes and manipulating this medicine cat into doing bad deeds or they could be working together to plot something sinister against the clans.

I've always loved the idea of an antagonistic Medicine Cat character and I really hope we can see it in future books. I doubt that we'll get one soon, but there is always a slim possibility that there will be such a character and I can't wait to see that and read about it! I'd love to hear your opinions on this too!

Let's get this started!

Hey there! I am Mod Ashfur and I thought up of this blog. I have no idea how this is exactly going to go but I am willing to try my best on this. It will be just me and my friend on here and we will just generally talk about our opinions on the warrior cat series. My opinions might be a bit more ehh since I am more done with the series as a whole and don't really enjoy it as much as I use to. Though, if you disagree with me, I am happy to listen to your take on it! I am a Trans Guy btw and I use He/him pronouns. I have a boyfriend as well but I don't feel too keen about sharing my sexuality on here at the moment.

I hope things go well! My friend will be making her introduction in a day or so. Then we can get this show on the road! Oh and one last thing- I do not support or condone Ashfur's actions at all. He isn't even one of my fav characters tbh, only chose him since he is very meme-able in the fandom. Just thought I would clarify this! <3
