Hey So i’m gonna be saying my thoughts on Dovewing. And I'm not JUST doing this because she’s my least favorite character in the whole series but because I just wanna say my opinion. Also this isn’t meant to offend anybody this is just my opinion btw. This also might contain some spoilers and I haven’t read that particular series in a few years so I might miss/get some things wrong. First of all the way she treats everybody she meets is terrible and she’s a real jerk. Especially to Ivypool, and I'm not someone who really has an opinion on Ivypool so I won’t really be saying a whole lot on Ivypool alone. She literally downright bullies Ivypool and bluntly doesn’t care about her and no one talks about it “”It must just be a thorn in the moss.” Ivypaw mewed quickly. Come on Dovepaw, back me up! Dovepaw shrugged. “Yeah, a thorn.” She mewed before pushing her way out of the den. Thanks a lot! Ivypaw was fuming that Dovepaw had left her to calm down their mother by herself” -Night Whispers pg168 “Dovepaw stiffened. “At Least we’re not putting anyone in danger.” “What do you mean by that?” “Everytime you go to the Dark Forest you betray your clanmates.”” -Night Whispers pg179 I also wanna point out how Dovepaw says that her seeing Tigerheart every night is better than Ivypaw going to the Dark Forest to train every night is stupid because 1. Dovepaw knows exactly what she’s doing, breaking the code and making Ivypaw seem like the bad one and 2. Ivypaw is literally being gaslighted into believing she is doing the best for her clan. There's a difference. Dovewing’s personality is also just super bland shes stupid and not in the way where her character is purposely written to be dumb but accidentally. It’s not even charming like how it is with some characters that can be described as dumb. I also remembered the part where she snuck into another clan's camp to see if Sedgewhisker was okay (???). Like what? I can understand her concern I guess but Sedgewhisker repeatedly tells her to go. This was just Dovewing being plain stupid and not caring about her actions and how they can affect her clan/other people. Also when she gave some catmint to Tigerheart so Littlecloud could survive. There was no reasonable reason behind this to be honest. Tigerheart and Littlecloud are in ShadowClan, who is notorious for being the clan that kinda steals and is shady. I feel like someone would have stolen it anyway, she was just trying to seem like a good person. Also her love triangle with Bumblestripe and Tigerheart is just so dumb and boring. Don’t get me wrong I actually really like love triangles and romance in general but Dovewing’s love triangle is just so badly written. If I'm being honest I think it might be because all the people in the love triangle are just kinda bad characters (my opinion) :’) Love triangles in warrior cats tend to be really good. I think the best love triangles we ever got were Bluestar X Thrushpelt X Oakheart or Squirrelflight X Ashfur X Bramblestar. Not to mention how she completely loses it after losing her powers. She's just dramatic and Hollyleaf should have been the 3rd instead of her. Dovewing literally just goes and sits in a corner for like multiple chapters because she's so sad and ‘feels like she won’t be able to help her clan’ (the clan that she never even cared about and left in the first place). Jayfeather and Lionblaze lost their powers too but instead of sulking around and complaining they learned to adapt. Also, this one- oh my gosh. How Dovewing: 1. Got pregnant with a cat from another clan's kits while that cat was trying to rebuild his clan 2. Dipped when she found out she was pregnant, causing Tigerheart to have to come find her and leave his clan (which was falling apart and he was the leader of) 3. Came back with her kits to her panicked sister, parents and clan and then decided to y’know, just leave for ShadowClan. 4. They return and for some reason everyone welcomes Tigerheart back as their leader (???) This was just my opinion so please don’t feel offended if you like her, everyone has their own opinion. My conclusion is that Dovewing is self centered and rude lol. Thank you for listening to my TED talk
She just annoys me so much i’m sorry
