Characters: Firestar

I will have a series of blog posts called 'Characters: [...]' I will pick a random character and talk about him or her. Hope you enjoy!

Character no. 1: Firestar

We all know Firestar, saviour of the Clans. The hero of ThunderClan. The one that led the Clans to the lake. Everyone loves him, right?

Well, I liked him in the first series. He wasn't so soft back then and he still did something. He was able to stop Scourge, Tigerstar, he helped Bluestar, he drove the pack of dogs to the gorge and he did much more. But then in the following seasons he did nothing. He let all those kittypets join, he just gave WindClan a strip of wood, as well as he gave ShadowClan that clearing. He should've fought for his territory! His Clan told him to do it, but did he listen to them? Nope, he didn't. Even though the Warrior Code states that the word of the leader is law doesn't mean that the leader should just do whatever he pleases. And to be honest, I was kind of happy when he died. He was alive far too long. I mean, the other Clans had a few changes of leadership, but ThunderClan had like, one? RiverClan for example had two. Crookedstar passed the leadership on to Leopardstar and Leopardstar passed it on to Mistystar. ShadowClan had three. Brokenstar passed it on to Nightstar, he passed it on to Tigerstar and Tigerstar passed it on to Blackstar. Okay, WindClan only had one, Tallstar and Onestar, but still. I mean, according to the Warriors Wikia, Firestar is approximately 98 moons old! That's 8 years! I mean, some elders didn't live that long. Take Frostfur. The Warriors Wikia says she died with 88 moons. Or Whitestorm. When Firestar thought about him when he should choose a new deputy he thought that he already was quite old and he was 66 moons old then! When 66 moons is old, how old is 88 years? Ancient? And I think Dovewing thought that Spiderleg would be joining the elders den soon and he wasn't even 60 moons old yet. It probably was a mistake, but still. Okay, I'm rambling right now :) sorry. But he annoys me in the last seasons. I still kind of feel bad for Sandstorm, because she really loved him, but that's the only reason I'm sad he died.

Please tell me in the comments what you think about Firestar, whether you like him or not. And give me a warrior name you thought of so that I can put it in the monthly poll :) And give me suggestions of which character I should review next!

Bye!
