Riverclan : sexy Thunderclan : generic Shadowclan: nasty Windclan: skinny Skyclan: skyclan

I had one friend whose reasoning for having Riverclan as a favorite was this: "Well, yeah, nothing happens there. That's kind of the point. I want to live in a clan where I'm fat and happy and I'm not getting killed. I may not be interesting, but I'd be comfortable." Like, their reasoning was that they wanted a life untainted by plot, however boring it might be, and I can kinda get that.

it's strange because Thunderclan are known to be "honorable" and they "follow the rules" and yet Thunderclan broke more rules then all the other clans combined!

Riverclan: *Exists* Author: I'm gonna pretend I didn't hear that.

Quick summary of the Clans: Windclan: smol quick kitties Riverclan: cute fat cats Thunderclan: bossy brave bois Shadowclan: edgy things that do edgy stuff Skyclan: Those ones with weird names that showed up halfway through and that everyone just kinda tolerates

I probably would've labeled Skyclan as "Fair and Resilient" honestly, considering the clan has pushed on for so long with such harsh conditions

:( RiverClan could be so interesting and threatening because they’re so well-fed and protected. They should be the biggest Clan, logically. Not to mention they could start throwing their weight around considering how many advantages they have over the other Clans. Imagine WindClan and ThunderClan having to grudgingly unite against them.

riverclam queen: hm what should i name this kit riverclam queen: * touches le kit. * riverclam queen: ah, yes this kit is soft and shall be named softkit because thats original. softkit: i require milk, mother.

In Riverclan's defense, Riverstar literally hated having any kind of interaction with all of the other clans, even going as far as to skip out on gatherings, so at least they're consistent.

answer: it depends how the authors are feeling (except thunderclan. they can never do any wrong)

5:11 you know moonkitti's a really talented artist but she doesn't show it all that often but here you can see an example of her raw skill with this excellent ivypool drawing, it's really just plain beautiful.

My descriptions of the Clans: ThunderClan - Courage and Strength WindClan - Speed and Grace ShadowClan - Stealth and Secrets RiverClan - Skill and Pride SkyClan - Fair and Resilient

I wished that the third protagonist for the broken code was a RiverClan apprentice instead of Bristlefrost. ThunderClan has had a cat POV in every series and I would like one arc without a thunderclan POV.

The worst clan: _DarkClan_

Only the true warriors veterans remember Shadowclan’s old description: Wily and Proud.

Thunderclan: Cats Shadowclan: Ravens Windclan: Cheetahs Riverclan: Sharks Skyclan: Squirrels Bloodclan : Just a shadow Darkclan : Eggs Starclan: Ghosts

Real cats are NOT nocturnal. They are crepuscular: most active at dawn and dusk, which usually matches their routine in Warriors, though they should probably take more naps during the day.

ThunderClan: OverratedClan. RiverClan: NormalClan WindClan: SkinnyClan ShadowClan: EmoClan SkyClan: WeirdoClan

I wish that the hunters would start portraying the clans in a more morally ambiguous light, you know, not making shadowclan the go to bad guy clan when there is nothing to support that they were ever evil before brokenstar, or making thunderclan so high and mighty and honerable, I think it would be interesting to have a book like a novella set in the past or something, where all the other clans were trying to fight off thunderclan bc they were trying to take over everything bc they thought they deserved it Also make windclan less of jerks

Every clan in 10 words or less Thunder clan: Every main character ever. River clan: We swim. That's it. Mistystar told us to do nothing. Shadow clan: Spooky scary skeletons: Cat edition! Wind clan: *W E S P E E D* Sky clan: half the fandom doesn't know about them. Because they new. Starclan: *stares at arging cats and does nothing until its bad* Oc clans: were all involved (most of the time)

This is wrong because StarClan is the worst Clan. I have spoken.

"I'm a Warrior of Riverclan!" "Yeah, that's it?" "I'm... also at this meeting?"

I always thought it was so funny when Graystripe came back how Leopardstar welcomed him back warmly when she literally put out a kill order on him when he rejoined ThunderClan during the latter half of the Prophecies Begin

River clan had so much potential. They are the only clan with cats that can swim (at least taught how to), they have a protective river around them to make them more mysterious, and they are actually pretty smart! Their dens are built for floating in case of a flood, and in feathertail's manga, it's shown the beautiful culture they have! The Erins really missed an opportunity with them.

Thunderclan: The place all the drama happens Shadowclan: Edgy cats who just want to be edgy together Windclan: The track team Riverclan: practically fish Skyclan: Tree climbers wOw

I think in code of the clans it talked about how Riverclan cats were sometimes picked up by twolegs and taken back home and how some of them never returned. I always wanted to know more about that! And also drypaws!!

I always feel like at this point, none of them can be my favorite because it seems like living in *any* clan during the book series timeline would suck ShadowClan: ambition/depression gets them taken over by tyrannical leaders almost every series RiverClan: constantly starving because of water pollution/over-dependence WindClan: get chased out of their territory like . . . at least 3 series in a row ThunderClan: perpetual 2012 magical highschool RP, except all the other cats hate RPers SkyClan: sighs StarClan: "Sol tells them that their religion is stupid. He is 100% right!" I wonder what the clans would be like if they weren't in a book series for teenagers.

Honestly this made me stan Riverclan more. The concept of water cats is great and they have fat asses and silky furs AND they hate interacting with any other clan. They're awesome.

I tweeted this a while ago, but since it's relevant here - times each clan in the Silent Thaw is mentioned by name according to my Kindle app’s search feature: StarClan: 390 ThunderClan: 219 ShadowClan: 91 SkyClan: 74 WindClan: 27 RiverClan: 9

At this point, I'm just holding on to hope that we get to see Riverclan's point of view once.

WindClan was actually pretty powerful. Under the rule of Tallstar (AKA best WindClan leader), the clan seemed peaceful and only fought when they needed to be. Albeit under the rule of Onestar, everything went more rough. He clan was being taken advantage of and Onestar began to change that by upping his clan’s hostility. They fought fiercely in the tunnels but of course, big, tough, lion, man had to scare them away because, ya know, plot points. So the main thing I’m saying is, WindClan is pretty resilient and tough.

Wow, no mention of my boys 'Bloodclan'. One of them just one shots the basically immortal main villan of the whole arc. I especially love how they only show up for like the last two chapters and the tact on prologue. It really makes you not want to stop reading the series there and find a video 10 years later talking about there being like 6+ arcs that I haven't heard of.

the writers: thunderclan can never do anything wrong, let's give them all the attention! *insert thunderclan doing everything wrong*

Genuinely !!! I like RiverClan in concept and it makes me sad that they’re so underutilized-their culture is cool (they swim, weave shiny things into the roofs of their dens, have different construction methods than the other Clans to withstand floods, etc.) but they’re so !! Not used!!!

What I think would be interesting for Riverclan is extra activities they do. While all the other clans are busy fighting, it would be interesting to see them acting more as a family unit than scouts, army, and leader. So, them doing activities such as a storytelling competition or being more laidback would be a nice change of pace

I thought Riverclan was the best because it was left out so much, honestly it seems way more mysterious than ShadowClan ever did. We know that a lot of evil(ish) cats stem from there, Hawkfrost being the main one. You could technically call MapleShade a Riverclan villain, since all of her problems literally come from riverclan being how it is. Also, what i think is one of the most thought out and realistic leaders (CrookedStar) comes from there. Crookedstar has human like emotions that make him insanely interesting. Most of the other cats manage to get over things so quickly that most of the deaths are forgotten. The death of his mate and kits plagues Crooked for the rest of his life, and the guilt of his mother's death with always be there on him. He's one of the most in depth warriors characters and I'm proud they gave him to Riverclan.

I wish they’d actually do something with riverclan

Thunder Clan: Mary sue clan Wind clan: Sassy teen clan Shadow Clan: Edgy clan River Clan: Feesh clan 🐟 Sky clan: Unique (QUIRKY) Clan (probably called the weirdos) Blood clan: Murder clan (or edgier clan) Dark clan: the clan that only lasted like a week 😋 Star clan: Clan that is useless and is only there to let you know that they see what will happen and do absolutely nothing about it nor do they give a crap 😊😅

I'm offended. I like WindClan. The sheer amount of edge contained in WindClan is startling.

In the dawn of the clans, where Clear Sky was essentially the leader of that Thunderclan would rule in the new prophecy, they focused a lot on tree climbing

No body: WindClan: *I a M s P e E d*

The clans are never consistent, and even as a kid I really didn’t understand what clans were the “good guys” and which were the “bad guys.” In conclusion, they’re all bad except for thunderclan, the Mary Sue of clans.

Dawn of the clans I think Windclan: infinite Skyclan: 5 Thunderclan: 2.5 Riverclan: 1 Shadowclan: 4.5

i want a book with a riverclan main character that learns their clan history and understands that riverclan doesn't like conflict but then becomes deputy and challenges the norm and strives to make friends from other clans. it could give an opportunity to expand upon their culture and maybe add new exciting elements and riverclan-only holidays and just!!! something!!! please!!!! hunters i want this so bad!!!

Thunderlcan is the type of clan that says "Don't tell me what to do" when you say "Have a good day"

_Alternative Clans_ ThunderClan: ClichéClan WindClan: SkinnyClan ShadowClan: EvilClan RiverClan: FatClan SkyClan: StrangeClan Edit: OMG THANKS FOR ALL THE LIKES!!! Edit 2: 1.2K LIKES?!?!? OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Best clan in theory: Riverclan Best clan in the books: Definitely not Riverclan

People making there ocs: THIS ONE WILL LIVE IN RIVERCLAN AND HAVE A FORBIDDEN LOVE WITH SOMEONE IN SKYCLAN ALSO SHE HAS POWERS AND IS A MEDICINE BUT SHE CAN FIGHT VERY WELL! SHE ALSO SOME HWO IS A LEADER TOO

Moon I will fight you. -sits out in the lake and waits-

I have never been so offended yet completely agree with everything you said

Thunderclan: every protagonist ever Riverclan: chonkey bois Shadowclan: EVIIIL Windclan: fastest fluff bois Skyclan: a bunch of weirdos

River clan is my favorite for these reasons: -Crookedstar’s promise -Rainflower -never mentioned (always waiting for something juicy to happen So... Yeah, those would be my reasons.

I like RiverClan BECAUSE it's forgotton. Like at any point in the books, if it's getting boring or too dramatic and you just want to pause for a second, go to the allegiances page for RiverClan. Now pick any cat with an interesting name. Imagine a story involving them that has to do with the Clans' current scenerio. Moonpool frozen? Held hostage? It's like writing a fanfic but it could very well be canon and now this character has a story for you to be reminded of every time they're mentioned at a gathering or patrol. Also, imagine a group of RiverClan apprentices looking across the lake at anything interesting while eating minnows like popcorn.

The reason RiverClan is my favorite clan was because of how it was portrayed in Crookedstar's Promise. In that book RiverClan had a very strong sense of community amongst clanmates and their lifestyle was described so well that it was easy to imagine yourself being a part of it. Basically RiverClan was written really well in one Super Edition so now even though it's 6 arcs later and they've done nothing since, I still can't help but love it

Its not River Clans fault that the authors just went "if Sky Clan wont do it, it just wont get done"

I loved RiverClan in prophecies begin, but modern WindClan is my favourite

"theyre just there" why do you think i RELATE to them so much sob

I think that on the warrior cats website there should be a clan quiz like on pottermore.... anyone else want this?

Moonkitti: to even be involved in a fire One of my book characters named Nigtin: *has flashbacks of parents and siblings dying in a fire while he has to watch after half of his face getting burnt off* ...........

I like how you talked about each clan, and gave them each a strong reason to be disliked. This whole series needs to be rewritten. ;-;

The clans ThunderClan: thinks they know best Shadow clan: Sits in the dark corner River clan: does nothing Wind clan: Was Weak, Now Buff

RiverClan likes swimming and fish so it's valid. It doesn't get enough attention anyways.

Cats are actually crepuscular, not nocturnal. ^^ So if the warrior kitties had accurate sleep cycles, they'd take little naps throughout the day and night (especially the day) and go on patrols mainly at dusk and dawn. Sharing tongues might be good in the late afternoon before sunset, because it's usually warmest then and we all know cats love warm weather :)

My goal is to compile everything I can dig up on RiverClan and make a major character for a fan story and have the Clan play a major role because like Imagine a RiverClan cat, teamed up with those from other Clans, teaching the resourceful skills RiverClan is said to have I wish they portrayed more of this fact, and more of the dynamic. The best we got was Crookedstar's story

I find riverclan interesting despite their lack of development as a clan, especially with their Medicine cats and half clan relationships. Thunderclans medicine cats are a complete mess tbh, like they all had something going on that pushed them into being a medicine cat while being reluctant, with Featherwhisker being the exception. Mudfur became a medicine after having a mate and kits. He had the life of a warrior but chose to become a medicine cat. Mothwing had also became a warrior before becoming medicine cat, only to lose faith in the ones she was supposed to believe in the most, Star clan. Brambleberry became the mother figure Crookedstar needed and is probably one of the best medicine cat characters in my opinion. Riverclan also seems to be the the most involved with half clan relationships next to Thunderclan. You have Mapleshade x Appledusk, Fallowtail x Reedfeather, Bluestar x Oakheart, Silverstream x Graystripe and Gorsetail x Beechfur. Most of the time half Riverclan kits tend to become riverclan warriors. So riverclan is that half clan and interesting medicine cats clan where a medicine cat had kits without breaking the code. They still need more perspective in the series tho.

FireStar: This is a good idea. FireStar 5 minutes later: WHO CAME UP WITH THIS HORRIBLE IDEA?!?

my love for riverclan is based simply on my nostalgia. silverstream = pretty, crookedstar = best leader, and that’s it

1:29 Strength, was the tunnel cats I think, the strength was the cats who dug the tunnels which are important in Tallstar's book, but they lose this quality. :(

The answer is ClanClan, led by STARSTAR

Okay so here’s what I got Thunderclan: Mary Sue as hell Riverclan: Best concept without execution Windclan: Anorxia and Anixety as a clan Shadowclan: Evil because sneaky Skyclan: Weird yet interesting Do tell me if I missed anything

[Standing up for Windclan] TO BE FAIR, at some point in arc 2 or something the two-legs were invading their territory(Cutting stuff down I think? It's hard to remember), and it was hard to catch anything. On top of that their wild cats and most of the clans are skinny-ish anyway. They had a *harder-ish* time.

I would've labeled Skyclan as Tough and Resourceful, because you just see so much more examples of them demonstrating these qualities in the books. Heck, I might even label them as Independent and Resoureful, because almost every solution Skyclan has to their problems demonstrates one of these qualities! And also , I see you point Moonkitti. MAKE RIVERCLAN MORE INTRESTING!And for Starclan's sake, kill off Mistystar in some tragic scene that eventually makes Reedwhisker retire from the deputy position. Or just usem that scene and it's aftermath to DEVELOP Reedwhisker's character!

at this point, they just follow the stories of characters related to old characters. nobody in riverclan are like that except Mistystar who is a leader, and Mothwing, a medicine cat. also RiverClan is my favorite how dare you maybe they're my favorite because they are like me: that person who hangs out with a friend group, but provides nothing to the group or any of their conversations. also I could probably eat fish but a mouse? no

"Somebody's love interest in there." Honestly I'm so onboard with the minnowtail and mousewhisker ship lol Come on Erins do it you cowards!

In my opinion, all of the clans are pretty amazing and should get a lot more attention than they've been getting. They had some potential arc 4... but then they blew it with making Firestar the fourth cat. Also, I wanna know about everyone's quirks and personalities! Really, it would be more simple to have, as you suggested, on big clan that goes about business indifferently.

About the Thunderclan suddenly becoming good at climbing trees thing, that was in Omen of the stars, i think 2nd book especially, where they train apprentices to climb trees, and later use it in the battle against Shadowclan! Reading that, i was like: Uhm, isnt this supposed to be Skyclans thing...??

I know there’s a lot of these... but here’s mine. WindClan- Skinny speeds ShadowClan- Edgy beans RiverClan- Chonky fishes ThunderClan- Average cattos SkyClan- Weird fluffs StarClan- Ghosty spoops Your welcome.

Thunderclan: Perfectclan Shadowclan: Overratedclan Windclan: Bastardclan Riverclan: Backgroundclan Skyclan: Oldclan. Edit: New Categories!

Moonkitti: Says “AVOS” Me: Avos… Avos… A… Vision… of… Shadows… A Vision of Shadows?

People say brackenfur is like cardboard But at least you can bend cardboard and shape it a bit Riverclan is like a brick

Me: *watching my favorite show*. Moonkitti: *uploads* Me: *immediately clicks*

I remember once in RiverClan there was a cat called softpaw who twigbranch saved from the fire. Then she wasn’t mentioned again XD

My favorite clan is shadowclan, and it always was. Despite all the things they did wrong (and they did a lot of things wrong lol) when Tigerstar 2 became leader, this clan became loyal, supportive. Supportive, because of the way the sheltered the rebels in "the broken code", and how they gave half of their territory to Skyclan. In my opinion, Thunderclan is the worst clan. They just like- they just sit around for the whole series and boss all the other clans around. No wonder shadowclan hates them.

i like riverclan for 3 reasons: one is because crookedstar’s promise is my favourite book in the franchise, second is because most of the times they do show up (albiet minor) it always feels nice (i dont remember anything past OOTS though) and third is that we dont get any ammunition to hate them, shadowclan is the resident “villian” clan who seems to always mess things up, windclan is a bunch of jerks and very petty, thunderclan we just need to get out of more, skyclan is fine and starclan is dumb

Thunderclan: main character clan Windclan: fast clan with an unsettling obsession with rabbits Shadowclan: more like evilclan Riverclan: Crookedstarclan Skyclan: Tribe of Rushing Water: helpless idiots that I really wish would get hit by a meteor

Moonkitti: ...and chubby Me: *smiles* Also Me: Well I guess I'm a descendant!

The clans WindClan: GOTtA Go FASt ThunderClan: We're the most important thing in the universe RiverClan: Oo graceful sexy cats ShadowClan: MMm we NauGHty and edgy SkyClan: What are even good names?

One thing I noticed with all clans I think that cats can’t see in the dark but they can in real life lol

“These are the fish people. They uh... they like fish.”

This is actually why Crookedstar's Promise is my FAVORITE warriors book. We got such an intimate and distinctive perspective on RiverClan culture. I personally believe it's the Clan with the most potential to have unique skillsets and attributes to display but it is CONSTANTLY overshadowed by the other Clan's plot armor. A lot of my fav RiverClan cats in the original series and CP were great - Crookedstar, Oakheart, Stormfur, Shellheart, Brambleberry, etc. but even they were only relevant because they ultimately had some connection to Crookedstar or Oakheart. RiverClan may be the least represented, but I think it's more a waste of potential than a result of the clan being uninteresting.

Riverclan is my favorite, but basically just because of the concept and a few of the cats in the clan. It stinks that they don't get more focus, because Bluestar was one of my favorites and I would really like to see more of her daughter as a leader. I was so excited for Mistystar, but they're just not doing anything with her :(

6:57 Is that why people always make RiverClan ocs? To make up for it's lack of characters?

I want the next arc to be taken place in the other clans and not just thunderclan or have anything to really do with thunderclan. I wanna see more of the others i hate thunderclan

I still wish ThunderClan weren’t the main perspective clan. I’m waiting for the authors to drop their perspective altogether.

The clans describing themselves. Thunderclan: I’m definitely the best clan. I’m favored by the offer and I’m the protagonist? Of course I’m the best. Riverclan: We can swim. ... I- Shadowclan: You can’t hang out with us unless your emo. Windclan: we are all on a diet... Skyclan: what is a clan? Starclan: please die so you can join us.

Riverclan should DEFINITELY take over the lake! I am so totally writing or drawing something about that, my new project. Thank you for the idea moonkitti!

As a young’un, I loved ThunderClan because the POV came mostly from their clan, but rereading the series made me realize that the other clans are actually way more interesting and a refreshing way to read the story.

I’m stuck at home with nothing to do so thanks for uploading moonkitti

Me: Thinking about how much I adore Riverclan and Crookedstar as my favorite leader Moonkitty: *I'ma ruin this bois whole career* (This was a joke please don't take offence to this I love Moonkitti's video's and I'm subscribed)

You are slapping the main arcs and I love it
