ok i've been feeling under the weather (chronic, not covid) and i've been binge watching warrior cats infodumps/video essays and.... hhhhhh do I REALLY want to reread half the series to make a post about my leopardstar apologism?? becuse girlie deserved better and if she was written better she'd be everyone's favorite literal wet cat pathetic girlfail girlboss tragic character but nope. got vriska'd but like in a 'shallow without redeeming qualities' kinda way

#like ok let me go down the list of my unorganized opinions about her #<<long tags. also edit i talk about pokemon paul too i guess #this is barely even canon commentary because in canon she was a bitch who died of diabetes. this is me exploring her canon potential #first off. i just like her unique pattern #and i'm a riverclan stan #second. orphan who was raised by the village and adored and doted on #would inevitably lead to her feeling like she had to fulfill those expectations and setting high goals for herself #AND SHE REACHES THEM!!!!! she is motivated and strong and determined #but she's also iirc pretty young as a leader but age in wc is more of a crapshoot than even pokemon which. yikes lol #so. very young leader who has high expectations on her and also high expectations of herself #desperate to prove herself #and so. strong and iirc described as handsome tom comes along and manipulates her into joining his new megaclan #SHE IS YOUNG AND WANTS TO DO WHAT'S BEST #FOR HER CLAN #also tigerstar is like. top manipulator supreme. apologism and all but leopardstar was a victim idc #that turns out to be. you know. bad. tiger is trying to kill her clanmates which she did NOT sign off on #so she has to deal with that SUPER EARLY in her leadership #so we come out of arc 1 with a new leader who's seen more in her first like what. year. than many leaders do in a long time #so after joining tigerclan of COURSE riverclan secludes themselves more #it's a protective measure!!!!!#riverclan is going THROUGH it in series 1 #and ngl i barely remember the rest of the series with ehr because they kinda forget she exists #except to have her go crazy and die #which. hm. a choice.#but wc is known for their. choices. of the odd variety.#and for ignoring character potential #i dub this the paul problem (pokemon).#where they will not commit to making a character a true villain OR to redeeming them #and isntead just placing them in 'annoying bitch who is just kinda eh' territory for the msot part #i do like paul do not get me wrong. i could fix him
