Reading TNP: Long Shadows and I can't help but think how annoying everyone speaking so highly about Tigerstar is.

Ok, he was a great warrior, he's also a War Criminal. Everyone in the clans should speak of him as such! Ok, I could understand Shadowclan speaking nicely of him, he was their Saviour after Brokenstar's regime and Nightstar's Not Leaderhood. I can also understand why Tawnypelt would be so willing to name a kit after her father.

But Thunderclan? The same Thunderclan that rejected Tigerstar for his crimes? The Thunderclan that killed their clanmates, their mothers, fathers, siblings? That's so stupid!

And imagine it, Tigerstar's existence being a taboo topic in Thunderclan, noone speaks about him, and if they do, they dont mention his name and simply speak about his crimes. Elders warning the kits and apprentices from being too greedy and prideful.

BUT, But. I can see Brambleclaw speaking highly of him to his kits behind everyone's backs. Well, He trained with his father, and he learnt so much from him. And it's not like he ACTUALLY would have taken over the four clans, that's just absurd! Tigerstar's only crime was his wrong way of doing things, if everyone just LISTENED to him...

Then Lionpaw meets his grandfather and uncle, and he's excited! Those are the cats their father told him about! AND they want to train him?! That's such an honor! He jumps straight into it. The training is hard, almost torturous, but Lionpaw's used to it, Ashfur isn't any kinder to him.

The longer Lionpaw trains in the Dark Forest, the more he starts feeling something is WRONG. This place is... dead. And his mentors beliefs start sounding worrying. But... Brambleclaw said they are great warriors, why would his dad lie about it? He becomes more violent.

And when Tawnypelt and her kits come to the clan, Lionblaze hears his cousins speak so highly of Tigerstar! The rest of the clan looks worried. Some even disgusted, mayby those that were personally affected by Tigerstar [Longtail? Dustpelt?] shout at the apprentices to not speak about the traitor.

Imagine Lionblaze's inner conflict!

7 - Lionheart

Big man! Big big man, he was fun to do, trying to keep the tabby in him while still making him look as lion as possible!

Design notes and headcanons under the cut!

Big cat, very big cat, very middle-aged coded, deep-voiced, everything

His bracken color passes to both of his sons, but I imagine Thornclaw as lighter

Both his daughters get the poofy mane

Cinderpelt and Brackenfur get his smaller ears

His tufted tail goes to his daughters too

Graypaw became like a son to him
