RiverClan is my second favourite Clan and it honestly sucks that they're so underused. Do ShadowClan share a border with RiverClan? I can't really remember but if they do maybe at least Shadowpaw could interact with some RiverClan cats? People make jokes about Mistystar still being alive but honestly they're probably keeping her alive because Reedwhisker has no personality whatsoever. (to be fair Harestar is very bland too but at least he was a former Dark Forest trainee I think???) Old RiverClan was honestly amazing and so many of my faves are from there (Crookedstar, Oakheart, Brambleberry, Hawkfrost, Willowbreeze, Feathertail and Leopardstar are some of my favourite cats) but now RiverClan is so so irrelevant. it doesn't help that main characters for each series are usually kits of other main characters. Who would be the parent of a RiverClan main character? Mistystar? She's probably too old. Mothwing or willowshine? Better not be. I don't know how RiverClan can become important again but I really hope it happens somehow, because I love them ❤️

Frankly, instead of introducing a new "protagonist" for the Riverclan Novella, just show us Reedwhisker's backstory... I mean we don't know first thing about him, so giving him a complete "character wash" is probably the best way to make a character relevant, interesting and "alive" again.

[@castangred7713]

Minnowtail! She had a slight bit of spotlight when her sister Tumblekit died as a kit, she also made the great journey, she went to the dark forest, she’s a she-cat (balances it out) She and Mousewhisker seemed to have a close connection when they were apprentices, she’s fairly young, yet there’s still a lot we don’t know about her. I’m just saying she’d make a great character (when developed more fully) and probably a really good leader too, especially in this new arc about code breakers when she could have definitely been with Mousewhisker, obviously she trained in the df, and she kinda but not really but still kinda caused the death of her sister and what not

[@brookk110]

1GarnetGoat4 it would be interesting. Maybe she is traumatised from her sister’s death and how she caused it (not really her fault, but she may perceive it like that) and then she has a short fling with Mousewhisker and then tries to make up for being a crappy warrior in the Dark Forest, which of course she regrets. Minnowtail’s Remorse or Minnowtail’s Regret or Minnowtail’s Lie or something. Idk, but I like Minnowtail.

(Sorry for my grammar) That’s because they live on an open place, it’s harder to escape and it was probably very cloudy. Windclan warriors use the sun to blind their enemies, so they were really weak at that point. And I imagine that Brokenstar would choose to attack the clan with fewer warriors and I don’t think Windclan had many warriors at that point.

[@Utopia_2489]

I love RiverClan and I'm sad that it sucks so much right now Edit: I came up with a solution to make RiverClan relevant again! 1. Akira’s theory comes true, Ashfur is the one possessing Bramblestar and he has allies who are possessing the other leaders. 2. We get a protagonist in RiverClan to witness stuff that happens in RiverClan. Let’s call them Lakepaw. 3. Mistystar dies and is possessed by someone. Let’s say Mapleshade, as she’s the only major antagonist that is female and Mapleshade swore revenge on Appledusk’s kin. Mistystar is the daughter of Oakheart, who’s the son of Shellheart, who’s the son of Appledusk, so it fits. 4. Lakepaw sees Mistyshade murderize Reedwhisker into a fine paste(Reedwhisker is Mistystar’s son, so is also on Mapleshade’s to-get-revenge-on list). 5. We get a marginally more interesting deputy, and the plot is advanced as Lakepaw has to figure out what to do about the fact that her leader is possessed. Edit #2: If RiverClan is on the opposite side of the lake to ThunderClan, can’t they just swim across the lake to steal some nice patch of territory from ThunderClan or something?? At this point anything is better than the sheer obscurity RiverClan faces.

[@purplecandysweet]

I honestly wanna see one cat as an important one in RiverClan, and to be the next leader : Icewing. It would be a nice way to show that even Dark Forest trainers have their place in the Clans, and even some tensions with the other Clans because of that, but come on, she has so much personnality to develop ! She is far from an angel, she trained in the Dark Forest, she let her son get killed and she joined the Darktail group (which I haven't red unfortunately). She could even be a villain, but it would really make RiverClan important again if they are the first one to name leader a ancient Dark Forest cat. Reedwhisker is nice, but we've got to see new cats sometimes instead of keeping Bluestar's descendance. I really hope the Erins will give her more character, and will make her leader next, or at least deputy.

I think it would be interesting if Willowshine stepped down from being medicine cat to become deputy. A fun away to do it is if Reedwhisker was a villain and Willowshine stops his plans and exposes his plans and becomes depudy, because like Bluestar, Mistystar's becomes untrusting towards other cats.

[@sandywolfr26]

Willowshine is needed cuz mothwing don’t believe in starclan. Would be interesting if any cat in riverclan get a personality. In fact I really don’t care who. Pick one and do something with the clan! Could had a riverclan protagonist along with sky, thunder and shadow but nope. Let just close boarders or never include them unless it about mothwing. Hope next book they do something. Mistystar did kick out three cats

You know ever since I read the "Into the Wild" serries Riverclan has been my favorite clan [I loved what Riverclan stood for (Using their intelligence/clever planning/using their ability of swimming to their advantage instead of impulsive brute strength. How they care deeply for their clanmates, are endlessly loyal, as well as being thoughtful and considerate to the others around them, etc...), I loved reading about the few characters from Riverclan, their rich history of how the clan was made (as shown in the "Dawn of the Clans" series, etc... Plus River Ripple had been one of my favorite characters and seeing how he lead his clan with his careful thinking and his understanding\thoughtfulness which I found quiet inspirational and fitting for Riverclan), and manny otherr reasons of which that If I had continued writing would make this comment longer than it is already XD]. Though I really must agree with this video, it's rather sad that the further the series went the less we get of Riverclan contentt and information. I understand that it'd be rather difficult since Riverclan isn't one of the clans on Thunderclan's border, but with having main characters from Shadowclan, Skyclan, and Thunderclan now I feel like they are just excluding Riverclan from the book series altogether. Honestly, I've always wanted a cat from Riverclan as a main protagonist [that doesn't die or stop being one of the main characters after the 2ng-3rd book (don't get me wrong Stormfur and Feathertail where absolutely amazing protagonists to get to read about their point of view, but I was just sad that they couldn't be a protagonist at least throughout most of one series if anything)], and seeing how much Riverclan us being kept away from the plot I think it's more recovery then it's ever been. Welp, I guess all we can do is keep waiting for a new Riverclan protagonist or hope with all our hearts that the next book will finally give Riverclan some importance to the storyline!

[@theweirdwaterwizard9648]

This is a repetiion of my other coment but: One thing they could do is develop war tactics based on drowning opponents since they are the only clan that can swim, they would also be above average warrios beacuse of pure stamina and strength from swimming alone, since is a very good exercise, their skill in battle would be very average though, but their diplomacy and war tactcs are very dangerous, and they could make an alliance with beavers, protection in exchange to access to their dams and lakehouses, since those make unique strongholds that can only be reached by swimming. A main character could also be a sort of merchant, a warrior fishercat, since fish is a very nutritious and valiuble resource that can only be attained with consistency by the river clan, fish is very nutritious and tasty to cats, so it would be a very good chipping bargain or a service

[@dogsandcatsrule3856]

[@mercuryeuphoria5052]

Out of all cats, I really want a super edition for Mothwing, and maybe Willowshine or a new character. Maybe they could make a bland/background cat in Riverclan a good backstory? All I know is that I don't want one for Mistystar.

[@LenaLovesLlamas]

I actually don't mind the fact that if Reedwhisker was the choice of cat for the 2020 super edition, and I'm saying this as a female myself. There will always be future opportunities for female cats to get the super editions they deserve. I actually always wanted to learn about Reedwhisker, considering he's the only surviving kit of Mistystar, and because of how old Mistystar is (even though she seems to be immortal) she's going to StarClan eventually, so it's likely that Reedstar is likely to be the next leader. I don't know, am I the only one who wants to learn more about Bluestar's *only* grandchild?

I think this is what should happen. During the whole codebreaker thing, mothwing becomes a leader of the “resistance” against ashfur. She leads them to some hideout either close to or in riverclan, which allows them to see more into riverclan life, let the Erin hunters give some developement on the riverclan Cats, and best of all, give riverclan some good tragic story for the current riverclan deputy; reedwhisker by giving them a super edition after about one book of them living in riverclan. And then, when we know enough about reedwhisker, and they actually exist as not just a filler cat, they become leader, and since reedwhisker has been living with the codebreakers for a while, they can feel empathy for them, and protect them more than mistystar had. With the whole of riverclan, who now has developed characters, we can have some climactic battle, in which mistystar dies, and reedwhisker, a now interesting cat becomes leader. After ashfur has been defeated, thus the conclusion of the broken code ark, we have one book of settling down, maybe some tensions between clans if say, windclan sided with ashfur during the codebreaker hunt. Then we can have windclan make amends, maybe some sort of banishment for some super evil cats that existed within windclan, that we never even knew about. In addition to this, we could have one of the POV characters not want to leave or possibly stay in riverclan because when they were in riverclan, one of them could have developed a forbidden love with one of the riverclan cats. This will finally give riverclan the forbidden love that they had been missing out on for four arcs.

Info about the Super Edition: There WILL be one in 2020. The warrior cats wiki, if you type in “ Warriors Super Edition 2020 “ , will have it there. No, there is no title and no plot, but there is space for it. It’s there, just titled “ 2020 super edition “ Also, I’ve done research on who the super edition could possibly be about. And i have found, it is between AlderHeart and GrayStripe. Both are unexciting for me. Considering, GrayStripe has been around for awhile now. We know a lot about him, he even has Manga. But contrary to Akiras video, he was in RiverClan at some point, making it more believable. And AlderHeart, I love him, but we had an entire arc with his point of view. The titles I figured out were “ GrayStripes Vow “ , making it seem like his Vow to ThunderClan, where he finds out it’s where he truly belongs. Second, was “ AlderHearts Mistake “. Remember that KittyPet he sheltered before she left, and kept calling her soft and pretty....? Yeah. I do too. He and Velvet also were finding it hard to make a decision to part. AlderHeart considered being a KittyPet with her. Yeah, I remember that. His mistake could be going to visit her more frequently, until, well....he breaks the code and becomes LeafPool #2, new and improved boy version.

I love Riverclan, and I will always be apart of Riverclan. But you do make some good point, I wish they could bring some new, interesting thing or cat in Riverclan to at least give it more relevancy.

[@melaniesmall6330]

I hope that announcing the super edition would be a spoiler. It would be a lot better than reedwhisker because i literally did not know he existed.

[@futuregodkingoftheuniverse8381]

When youre early but have nothing to write

[@ToddGreer12]

One of my friends told me it's gonna be a Scourge super edition soon. I believe it.

[@Faith-rv1kr]

River Clan in my opinion is the BEST clan. It's sad that its barely had any books with the main character being in river clan! I would LOVE a book about a new born River Clan cat, and watch as they grow and what differences there are between Thunder Clan and River clan life.

[@DappledLeaf]

They'd better NOT do a Reedwhisker novella. They BETTER do a STONEFUR SUPER EDITION

[@entitledbobcat]

Crookedstar is probably more relevant than RiverClan itself within the fandom and he’s been dead for ages.

[@hiikoha]

*silently waits for Squirrelstar*

[@avahumphries4571]

The next super edition is Graystripe's Vow... No RiverClan cat...

[@Shiny_Misty]

Ah, 2020 will give us Riverclan Super Edition!! :D 2020 comes with Graystripe ...oh

[@jessicaarmstrong415]

Also they came up with the rescue the kits no matter what clan code AFTER they watched windclan kits fall off the edge of a gourge and drown At least one of the cats wanted to help, that night the older versions of the kits came to visit her also one of the kits was going to be future leader. Just sad riverclan. So so sad. So after she had the dream she fetched the lifeless bodies and dragged them to windclan hah can’t imagine having to explain that

[@lunasuuli484]

"hopefully the next super edition is about the riverclan deputy, but not reedwhisker!" *2020 arrives* super edition: Graystripe

[@Miss_Prowlheart]

Bright Guardian akira: RiverClan is the worst! Mothpool fans: eeeEeEeeeeeEe WHAT did Bright guardian akira: I MEAN I HAVE NOTHING AGAINST MOTHWING OR ANYTHING LIKE THAAAAAT

[@littletravelblog7589]

I really liked the founder of RiverClan in the books. Also the Clan was interesting back then. Now it's really boring.

[@mcytfan1415]

RiverClan and WindClan ore my favorite Clans because I love the water and swimming, I adore the idea of cats with fish and liking water and I just like WindClan mote than ShadowClan and ThunderClan because ShadowClan is just *gross* in my opinion and ThunderClan is just... I'M SO BORED OF THUNDERCLAN AHHHHHHHHHHH

[@wraithcall6057]

So sad they don’t give river clan more development,it’s my favorite clan.

[@cyanide_crow7970]

Me: How are you still alive?! All of Riverclan: *I have no idea!*

[@Tw1zteR.]

Feathertail is getting a manga? I thought it was about Mistystar or leopardstar. I hope it focuses on her relationship with Stormfur and Reedwhisker, or carrying on silverstreams legacy.

[@olly_lmao]

They only wanted Sunningrocks because they wanted a rock to sun themselves on. Also, Reedwhisker is one of Mistystar's kits. Read Mistystar's omen. On top of that, SE 2020 is Graystrioe's vow.

[@leafcattoyt4643]

Guys there is a graystripe super edition due september 1st for 2020 called Graystripes vow but no one is sure! Look it up

[@carleigh5520]

I just finished reading to last hope, and I'm not sure weather to read Dawn of the Clans, or Vision of Shadows next, can someone please tell me!

[@strawberryshorty2080]

I would read Vision of shadows than when your finished reading Vision of shadows read dawn of the clans :)

[@carleigh5520]

@@strawberryshorty2080 Okay I'll do that, thanks!

[@lanuitdesclans8900]

Hello ^^ I come frome french community. I'm actually very happy to see that someone scearch very deeply into the warriors book. It is like my videos ^^ But I identify few problems on your videos, analysis problems I think : - Firstly this is about the interest of the subject : I mean we don't really care if a clan is under-exploited in te books. Because the books are actually based on the thunderclan, the interests is to focus on a clan, his lifestyle, and some importants characters ... Otherwise you could say "Thunderclan is too much exploited on the books". But it's a detail, I know ... ^^^' - Secondly I think that Crookestar Promise is a very interesant book with Crookestar as hero. This is a really fascinating characters with mappleshade and Shellheart. We focus on their lifestyles, the aim is to make us discover a unexploited aspects of the books. So we have very well-written characters, mostly Mappleshade ♥, and the description of riverclan is pretty realistic. I don't think we need more, this is enough no ? - Thirdly I prefer they focus on new characters or events than on the last aspects underexploited of the early Saga's. Warrior Cats must let us imagine some parts of their universe, let us draw characters at our images, write fan-fiction about riverclan. This is'nt valid for the scenario and characters but only for the universe... ^^' But I don't want to have a perfect complete universe because we need to imagine and to create a bit of Warrior Cats , You see what I mean ? In short there was three little details that I disagree with. This is a really good video otherwise and I sincerly want that more people create videos as yours in french community. Continue your videos please, I support you ^^

[@순희-r8t]

Your so right! THANK YOU! Finally someone addresses this!

[@lenadoesanimation652]

Give Reed whisker a dater and make here the main cariter and maybe give her some chapters in broken code

[@ahornminze]

Riverclan is my favourite clan,that is why I am so dissapointment with new Riverclan.When Cats dies the most are Riverclan.Dovepaws thing how they go to journey.Riverclan.Most dead cats on great battle-Riverclan.And who will also got much destroyed by Darktail?RIVERCLAN! Seriously I know they do not live next to Thunderclan but is it so difficult to make a story in Riverclan?I mean the erins have main Characters in Shadowclan and Skyclan finally like Thunderclan in the main.But Riverclan needs it the most! If they make it not more interesting in season 7 I hope they make a main character in Riverclan.A random riverclan who got pErSonLLitY.Riverclan have in my oppinion big chances if the erins take the chance.Cats who lives with water no other to that!No clan hunts fishes.I hope the erins take a chance to make Riverclan great again. That was my opinion and if you don`t have the same opinon no problem I respect that and I also hope other respect my opinion

[@daimonwings3838]

I totally agree. In the next series, they should make the main characters be in Riverclan, Windclan and Thunderclan. Every clan needs a chance! Even The Kin had a main character
