Title: "I don't like dovewing"
Tenelle: "I LOVE dovewing!"
Riley and Gibson Films 10 mysteries scientists still can’t answer
Did you not see the question mark?!
DVI Productions Don’t worry Tenelle and others can’t get their priorities straight I’m one of those people
I lovewing Dovewing
"Most consistently written character in warriors" ... Yeah, except for her eye color XP
That's what I was thinking XD
Yup XD
Awsomeisme1233 AJ I didn't know you like warriors, Awesome. Yay
Exactly what I thought😂😂
That was the writers mistake
They keep changing her eyes on accident
I feel like giving hollyleaf powers ruins everything I like about her. All throughout power of three I couldn't stand her--- right up until she snaps, kills a man, threatens to kill her own mother and takes off. Then I was like "oh, hollyleaf, she's actually kind of interesting now!" Her just developing a late series power-- especially dovewing's power, would just kill her off to me.
Moonkitti I know. I couldn’t stand her either. Like rules are meant to be broken sometimes. Especially if lives are in danger. Like when the whole clan got greencough and lionblaze had to steal catnip from windclan. Jayfeather was right not to tell hollyleaf cuz of her rigid code following. When it was reveal that she was the one who murder ashfur, I was truly shocked. The code following, good one was the one who broke the most sacred code?! That was when she was finally interesting to me. Before I just skipped hollyleaf sections
Moonkitti I politely disagree. I never understood why they didn't give the power to Holleyleaf. I saw it as a plot device on the Erin's part. Btw on your live stream a few days ago I mention to type "Do you ship Jayfeather and STICK not stuck. sry about that 😂 my face turned bright red after that lol 😆
If Hollyleaf was given powers I would probably abandon the series
I couldn’t stand hollyleaf until she snaps either but I think hollyleaf should of been the 4TH cat
I was waiting for you, WAITING.
but yeah, the fact holly never had a power, made it feel interesting in pot, when she figured that out, and me technically, it made me want to keep reading the books, wich were already getting boring. i knew something bad would happen, i thought she'd be jealous and go crazy and kill some peeps. im glad it did happen, because i knew she'd come back and be a bomb ass warrior.
Dovepaw: oh starclan! there's a dog in windclan territory that could easily run into thunderclan territory and hurt us badly if it got to camp! what should we do all "knowledgeable" mentor of mine?!
Lionblaze: just ignore it Dovepaw
Dovepaw: what the fu-
*we'll be right back*
This is the best comment in the wrold

I lovewing Dovewing
Like I mentioned-I don't hate Dovewing.
I hate her wasted potential.
Ribotto Studio ikr
Ribotto Studio i love dovewing but hate how she was written in omen of the stars. dovewing's silence is excellent though.
I hate Hollyleaf’s wasted potential.
Dovewing had such great setup. And then Tigerheart's Shadow happened.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand yeeeah. She has several good moments in that book, but leaving ThunderClan so her kits can be with their father is selfish and stupid. Kits belong with their birth clan this has been a hard and fast rule since The Prophecy Begins when Leopardfur comes asking for Featherkit and Stormkit saying they belong with RiverClan and Graystripe only leaves with them because he felt responsible for them. Sasha gave Hawkfrost and Mothwing to RiverClan because she wanted them to have a better life, same with Princess and Cloudtail. Bluestar gave up her kits to follow her destiny and prevent Thistleclaw becoming clan leader. Bramblestar stayed in his birth clan, while an OLDER Tawnypaw CHOSE ShadowClan due to not feeling accepted in ThunderClan outside of her brother and mentor Brackenfur and her mother Goldenflower-she left ThunderClan but she never forgot her birthclan. The reasons for leaving or staying in a Clan is solely based on where a warrior feels where they belong and the last time they made a choice for the kits, Twigpaw (Such a stupid name) and Violetshine were separated with one staying in SkyClan and the other ThunderClan. What Dovewing's done will surely affect her kits for a long time and I'm willing to bet at least one would rather be in ThunderClan than ShadowClan. But only time will tell.
Ribotto Studio Same
so... dovewing is basically a sweetheart but a bit dumb
Starfeather Reminds me of my cat kirby. He's very loving but not as bright.
Lol.you're names Jayfeather but you profiles Mapleshade(or Spottedleaf their like the same design???)
Human Garbage it’s Mapleshade
I love how your Dovewing design looks like a raccoon
Da Dragon Durp and i like how your everywhere
You're here too????
IKR
Da Dragon Durp thats how I draw Dovewing now!
Or a siamese
*Furiously looks for Moonkitti’s comment*
SAME!!!!!!
Found it
@@joshx3717 me too
How dare you! No I feel the same TWT
above ya
I agree that Dovewing has a horrible or non existent character arc. I just recently went back to re-read Omen of the stars because of a Moonkitti vid where she made me question my opinion about Dovewing and Ivypool. And I came to almost the same conclusion you did. Ivypool as an awesome character arc (hence the reason I like her) and Dovewing has none which is of course not her fault, but makes it hard for me to like her. Though the traits about her you mentioned made me like her a little bit more. All in all Dovewing definitely has gotten the short end of the stick and the writers did a horrific job, which says a lot because I usually love warriors, well the 5 and 6th season aren't exactly great either.
I couldn't agree more about what you just wrote!
And that’s why dovewings silence exists
This actually makes a lot of sense, would any of us really like any of the characters if omen of the stars were the only books?
Dovewing's definitely more compelling in the other books she appears in
Northflower
I stand by this statement. Though you can adore some characters from Omen Of The Stars, most of them would actually be really nasty if they were real people.
I mean they're just all angry and don't communicate
omen of the stars characters are like a failing marriage
Like even characters that I like, such as Bluestar, represent nothing that they used to and just lash out at everyone for no reason and that pisses me off
Omen Of The Stars is the reason I hate Lion blaze, the only chapters he got was wondering about how he'd be with Cinderheart
Yeah he does nothing in oots :,^)
Northflower I really do like LionBlaze. But it is true that omen of the stars ruins his character. I actually named a cat after him lol
I would have loved to see Dovewing a villain, maybe her desire to repair the bond with her sister, she openly would harass, bully and maybe even torture other cats just to get Ivypool's attention.
Yeah! And i like this idea, even with breaking Dovewing's personality, mostly because this would be Dovewing not really understanding what her sister did, but seeing that she got attention and turned away from her, só Dovewing could do what she understood of what Ivypool did, even not being really what Ivypool did (bullying cats, torturing, harassing, etc)
“I’m Moonkitti with And an I as in...
I’m going back into this bush now.”
Oh hey didn't expect to see you here
CCM Macaroon ... Hi? Why didn’t you expect to see me here??
You remind me of my cat by your pfp
Another well-thought out, reasoned video breaking down a the potential of a Warriors character versus what we actually got! Dovewing had so much potential to be an interesting character, but I always felt throughout OotS that she kept getting sidelined by Jayfeather, Lionblaze, and Ivypool, and never truly got to come into her own, leaving her feeling like an afterthought in the story.
What I personally would also have loved is Dovewing proving to Lion, Jay, and the readers she SHOULD be the true third cat. Lionblaze and Jayfeather never show much respect for Dove, especially on occasions when Dove doesn't want to use her powers because it goes against her morals. I was just waiting for her to finally snap and explain why she and no one should abuse their power like that. I really wished the Erins had explored Jay and Lion's grief over Hollyleaf as well, and that could easily tie in why they don't really trust or believe in Dovewing. She's just a stupid apprentice replacing Holly. But Dovewing proves herself and comes into her own, eventually maturing and becoming more responsible and levelheaded in her search for the respect she so rightfully deserves.
That's why I don't like her. They didn't give me a reason to like her
Dovewing complained way to much
And she betrayed thunderclan she has no right to be talking respect when she didn’t respect her own when she left thunderclan for some other cat
@@djwitdaheat9750sometimes you just have to think about your own well being and happiness even if it seems 'selfish'
@@djwitdaheat9750 She left because she wasn’t respected in her own clan. She was a loner. She was constantly trying to make her sister happy only to be met with silence and coldness. And she was pushed by her entire clan to be mates with a cat she didn’t like just because he had feelings for her. No cat in ThunderClan understood Dovewing. So she went to be with a cat who did.
I also don't understand why she gets all the hate she gets.But i've never heard this kind of opinion before and I really agree with it!
I guess people only read OotS once in their childhood, when it came out, and adopted an opinion on her based on what they remember of it
Clare Gundersen again she isn’t a Mary Sue. She makes mistakes and has faults. Even got in trouble for everything she did. Which isn’t what a Mary Sue is. Mary Sue is a perfect character which isn’t dovewing
awoum I've re-read Omen of the stars twice now, and still dislike her, lol.
sandywolfr26 Exactly, I think Sparkpelt is pretty much the only mary sue character in Warriors.
Didn't get in trouble for breaking the warrior code. Hell, everyone just greeted her like she came back from vacation, and that pissed me off.
this comment is going to contribute no pure intellectual substance but i think hearing you say 'forced heterosexual relationships boulevard' is the best thing ive heard anyone say in a damn long time and it made me have to pause the video to quietly laugh for a bit. thank you for this joy, someone finally needed to say that in at least a mildly comedic way
Eli S. I actually also paused to laugh! I thought it was so funny
When?
I'm pretty sure if Dovewing and Tigerheart were a same sex couple it would still be forced.
I don't like dovewing but I can see why people do like her. She's relateable, she doesn't try to change herself to make other cats happy, she just bes herself.
I'm sorry, but the DoveXTiger parts definitely is my favorite now just because it makes me smile since you put the "Now you hear the love tonight" in my head.
This was an amazing video, Tennelle! You’re so well spoken and I love that you always explore every side to an issue. I’m really not a fan of Dovewing, but after this I feel like I need to reread OOTS and give her another chance. Thank you for doing what you do!
I came here expecting to see a youtuber give yet another rant about a character I personally like.
I came here, and I was wrong.
Not only do I appreciate that you took the time to go in-depth about her as a character, and not just put a 'mary sue' stamp on and go, but I also love that it's not just praise.
Dovewing is a great character and in my opinion, one of the least credited in the warriors series. But that doesn't mean she's flawless, or that her writing is flawless.
All in all I think this and moonkitti's breezepelt video are the two best and most realistic of their type, and I can't wait to see what else you have in store.
Finally, I found a area full of Dovewing lovers like myself. Please ignore the battlefield in a comment further down.
I lovewing your dovewing pics
ripplestar *_haha_*
Can you make a video on why Turtle Tail left to be a kittypet? Also I love your videos and I hope you 70k subs soon! Also Who else is excited for Crowfeathers Trial?!
I mean it was most likely because Gray Wing didn't pay any attention to her and was just chasing after Storm. She didn't wanna see the love of her life get together with someone else and ran away from it all.
When is it coming out?
Coconut Lover September 4th

Aurora Hyde And how turtle tail died on the thunder path and everyone cried!
I lovewing Dovewing too! She's my favorite character (tied with Ravenpaw). And while I personally loved reading her chapters as they are(yes, even the TigerDove chapters) I whole heartedly agree that we didn't get enough done with her that could have been done.
Remember how she could hear cats dying on the other side of the lake but could do nothing to help them? Or when they were in the mountains and she heard that one cat being eaten after it were carried away by the hawk? Or how she blamed herself for not hearing the tree fall sooner and thought it was her fault for what happened to Briarlight and Longtail? I REALLY wish they had delved more into her emotional and mental state with all that. Because that's some seriously traumatizing stuff right there.
I did really enjoy her in Tigerheart's Shadow however, and I LOVE reading about her as a mother, which that on it's own gives so much more room for future stories with her. And OOF! That bit at the end of River of Fire, reading about Thunderclan's reaction to her joining Shadowclan, I felt awful for her. But at the same time, i'm excited to see what else will come of her decision. It might be a bit controversial amongst fans, but I think it could lead to some potentially interesting story lines.
Same
I do not lovewing dovewing.
I lovewing Dovewing too!
I never really liked Dovewing. But the points you brought up made me realize
"Oh my gosh, she's not just a Mary Sue after all!" I like her a little more
now, and even have a higher respect. Though, I love Ivypool still,
I like Dovewing too.
Thank youu!
I’m on the fence about Dovewing, I don’t hate her but I don’t really like her. Although I’ve been leaning towards liking her because of how her character was in Tigerhearts shadow. I really want to see how she settles down with Shadowclan in the sixth book of the Vision of Shadows arc since it’s a new clan for her.
"Blasting Can You feel the love tonight"
I played that in my spring concert on the clarinet
-squidward-
I love Dovewing... she's so fluffy and dumb and sweet that you can't help but like her. Also, I'm going to Barnes and Noble this weekend and need some Warriors super editions. Which ones should I read next? I've read Bluestar, Crookedstar, Tallstar, and Bramblestar's so far.
DON'T READ TIGERHEARTS SHADOW. read dovewing's silence,,
Coconut Lover
Okay... I hate Tigerstar 2.5 anyways.
I'll add the three book novella thing with Dovewing's Silence in it to my list! Thanks!
Yellow fang is a good one
And so is mothflights vision and fire stars quest and tiger hearts shadow are all good
Moth’s is the absolute best!!
Yea,Tennelle, I agree with you. They don’t use her power enough to me. They build it up, use it, AND LIKE NEVER USE IT AGAIN?!?!!
This video just describes my thoughts perfectly. Dovewing could’ve been one of the best characters this series had to offer if The Erins just had more time.
5:08 Actually that’s false. She was the one that heard the Dark Forest cats coming before they struck. Giving the Clans cat a little bit of advantage. ALTHOUGH IVYPOOL was the one that was SUPPOSED to warn them ahead of time but didn’t fulfill that promise. Even though she complained the whole time about not being ‘good enough’ compared to her sister.
I’m gonna say here that I honestly feel like the relationship between Dovewing and Tigerheart is a pretty fresh take on the forbidden romance trope. Into them meeting a couple of times and falling in love, some tradgedy happening and then them breaking up forever, they have a very complex, on and off again relationship because or the moral conflict they face due to their relationship being forbidden, and then they stick it out in the end and end up staying together.
Anyway I really love this video tenelle!!! I’m so glad someone else with agency in the fandom is defending this little fluff ball because I adore her and I am so tired of everyone bitching about her.
"Not that bright"
Dovewing's face - like she's seen a moth and is absolutely fascinated
I lovewing your dovewing design
*Shoves Ivypool behind self, sweats, and gets out a dull plastic knife, ready to fight the Dovewing lovers.*
Oh me too XD
*violently hugs dovewing* dont worry b I’m here for you
Sear *grabs gun and stands next to you*
I always get Ivypool when I do quizzes oof
But I... love both?
i believe dovewing actually uses her powers to hear the dark forest cats coming before the final battle at a gathering? i could be wrong
I think Dovewing deserves more love, she is not Mary Sue, she is just kind cat
>Dovewing is one of the most consistent characters
>Dovewing has a different eye color for each writer
Srsly though, I haven’t read Omen Of The Stars so I don’t have an opinion on Dovewing yet x)
I lovewing Dovewing (Moonkitti's gonna be after you know)
Warriors Nebula we all await for her to see this
I think I'm the only person that loves Tigerheart's Shadow. No, no. Go ahead, yell at me! But it's my personal opinion and no one can change it.... ever.
No worries I love it too :3
In all honesty I don’t like Dovewing that much, I’ve never been a big fan of her
Xisuma agreed her Winey behavior really turned me off
T think ivypools just a bit better
Neither am I, but I appreciate her a LOT for moving to Shadowclan instead of staying in the steaming hot mess that is Thunderclan.
ThunderClan IS a mess, good on Dovewing for leaving. I don’t like her, but hey, good on her for taking charge and taking her kits to stay with her mate.
I honestly like how the eyes switch from green to blue lmao
at least she has more character arc than sparkpelt lmao
Honestly though
I personally adore Dovewing and can't wait to see/hear how you rewrite Omen of the Stars.
Dovewing was able to tell the leaders when and where the Dark Forest cats were coming from, and I think solidified the belief that the Dark Forest was 'real'. I do wish she listened in to the conversations and plans of the Dark Forest crew more, but I guess they didn't want to intrude on what Ivypool was doing.
I like Dovewing, she annoyed me a lot and I got frustrated with her, but I like her. She's a fluffy blob of "I can't control half of my life" and I liked Dovewing's Silence :)
"Just because you have the emotional range of a teaspoon."
Yup that sums up Lionblaze. XD
Pleass no hate, but I prefer Tigerheart and Dovewing to Bumblestripe and Dovewing. I mean, Bumblestripe is a boring glob of forgiveness and wanting to own Dovewing even though he knows she not happy. At least Tigerheart donst try to force her and has potential and Dovewing loves him. Again, my opinion.
Dovewing’s Silence was actually a pleasant surprise. It was the book that made me like her a lot more. Especially when she dumps Bumblestripe.
Tennelle: I actually think she's one of the most consistently written characters in Warriors
Dovewing: *laughs in rainbow*
I dont think dovewing was a needed character, her powers are sensing (hearing) things far away, but in PoT Jayfeather also shows that he can sense things on the other side of the lake and his senses might have less coverage but he could have easily sensed something related to the beavers.
Thundershout The beavers are WAY further then across the lake though. Plus Jayfeather. Why does he get so many hecking powers?
@@UnityBringer Because he is a scrawny, blind Medicine Cat that is completely useless when he's awake.
Yay I love simmy speaks videos they are my favorite
Can u make a video about ash fur?? Because I would like to hear your opinion about him. I personally don’t like him but others might so I wanna see your view on him luv ya❤️❤️❤️
Audrey Hoffman that would be a great idea, I know it’s your opinion but I love Ashfur then again just saying great idea😁👍
Baisel the hyena thanks I’m glad someone likes my ideas
Yeah, man, he gets a low of negativity for obvious and valid reasons. I'd love Simmy's insightful look at his arc like Spinosaurus did
ashen mistake yeah it not that I hate him it’s more like he’s done bad things and I don’t like him for that
Is afraid* i like Ashfur ;0
I'm also not a big fan of Dovewing
Aurora Hyde same
Aurora Hyde
I like IvyPool better.
Same I like Hollyleaf and personally think she should have been the 3rd
Barbara Hensley idk
Barbara Hensley because an opinion doesn’t forbid anybody from getting other points of view.
Dovewing's ears are perfect :3
"shes one of the most consistently written characters"
not her eyes tho
Dont tell moonkitti. I REPEAT DO NOT TELL MOONKITTI
Maroon Pineapple MOONKITTI COME HERE!!!
Maroon Pineapple
*calls Moonkitti*
It makes me sad that so many characters were inconsistently written and misrepresented over the past five million books
Simmy speaks are probably my favourite series you do! They're so well thought out and well written :)
gonna be honest, I've given up on keeping up with the books as they came out. I lost track 2 books into Vision of Shadows and then didnt realize that there was another arc until yesterday
XD, I love Moonkitti. But honestly, I just relate to Dovewing in a lot of ways, and she’s just plain adorable! I feel like Dovewing and Tigerheart’s love triangle was kind of irritating, but I suffered through it for my little Lovewing Dovewing!
I just wish her character arc could’ve been... actually more of an arc. Although her personality was quite compelling, Ivypool’s arc was better.
I still love Dovewing, though.
Note. I have not read Shattered Sky, Dovewing’s novella, Tigerhearts Shadow.
(Although I do have the chance to read Tigerhearts shadow today.)
Arctic's Den I agree
Okay but like... consider a version of Dovewing that, because of her powers, ends up wanting to become a medicine cat. Later, we discover she uses her medicine cat status to try and move through other clans to check on those she's been able to hear and see in her own clan to help them. Obviously, this decision has consequences.
This would have to be in the event that either Jayfeather wasn't forced to be med cat or Leafpool was never made med cat again- idk, it's just a concept.
I feel like Dovewing's powers would be more useful as a warrior, but I like that idea. It's interesting
fuzzy She'd be able to use her power to tell when warriors were injured even when they weren't inside the clan. She'd be able to be at a sick elder's side the moment they started coughing without anyone telling her or be out there to nurse a warrior's wound moments after they got it in a scuffle with Riverclan
She'd also be able to use it to check on the other clans medicine cats since med cats usually know a lot about each other's clans. "Oh? What's that? I heard Windclan is out of this herb- well we have ton so I'll bring some next half-moon!"
5:05 I would argue that Dovewing’s power actually plays a major role in the final battle. She detects the Dark Forest as soon as they come through, stripping them of the element of surprise. Without that early warning, no one would know about the invasion until the DF is basically inside the camps. While I think the clans would realistically manage to win, it would probably have cost two, even three times the number of dead. It was also her ability to hear the Dark Forest directly that convinced the other leaders to combine their forces. Never underestimate the value of good intelligence-gathering.
Plot twist: I actually like Dovewing over Hollyleaf.
(Don't murder me hollyleaf fans)
Lol I loved that Harry Potter reference!!!
I personally think Holleyleaf should have been the 3rd cat.
Aurora Hyde SAMEEE
I think the same too!
Same
Aurora Hyde yeah me too
Definitely
6:24 "After hearing she got burped by a dog"
Gotta love captions!
Others may not agree but I think the next ‘forbidden romance’ should be a gay relationship. The clans might not except this and the pair meet in secret (like cross clan relationship) but by the end of the ark they should expect the fact that sometimes people of the same gender like each other. This would be a great message to young people that it’s ok to like someone who has the same gender as you. 💖
Rela Wings
Yeah, I would rather that than "oopsie doopsie I mated with a cat from another clan how original"
As much as I'd love to see this, I dont think Harper Collins would allow it. The Erin's said that they were almost pushing their luck with RavenXBarley and TallstarXJake relationships :(
I totally agree, though HarperCollins wouldn't allow them to do this because the books will get banned in some countries.
Ratty * The author want to put in LGBTQ representation in warriors but they can't due to some countries banning it.
I JUST HAD AN IDEA
To make her powers more useful, Dovewing could've been the one to unite the Clan against the Dark Forest. She knows everything that goes on in every Clan, so she could help by using her connection with the other Clans.
I don't know how to explain it well, but it's a cool idea in my opinion!
D O U W I n g ?
Emma LeClair poor douwing has to listen to bumblstripes bad ASMR
Thanks so much fir this, my opinion has been rethought. Also, thanks for changing her eye colour throughout the vid!
I agree with you completely, especially on the point that the Three's powers had little to do with the final battle. It had been bugging me for years that there seemed to be a disconnect between the Three and the final battle, but I didn't realise just what it was until you mentioned that.
I like Dovewing more than Ivypool but i think that really makes sense!
*moonkitti glares from the bushes*
“Wait I hear a moonkitti”
Best moment of the video 😂
Even though the erins did it for bad reasons, i LOVE the fact that hollyleaf isn't one of the three. It made the end of the third arc and the forgotten warrior SO interesting, and deepened hollyleaf's character as she went to a lot of suffering for not being special after all (i still wish we had some chapters from her perspective in the last hope and forgotten warrior but whatever).
Also, i love how dovewing has a total opposite personnality, which makes her a perfect replacement for holly. I understand people not liking her, but i think the books wouldn't had been interesting if hollyleaf was one of the three, i also understand why people call her a mary sue, but this aspect of her personnality don't bother me, i think she is an original character who isn't similar to anyone else !
Its almost like I've seen these pictures before.... Hmm.....
I personally really love Dovewing. She’s a fluffy girl and I enjoy her rivalry with Ivypool.
I've never read the books (I found out about them 10 years after they came out and even back then I was 'too old to be reading them') but I still love watching your videos talking about the series. I can only imagine the sort of drama and heartache these cats get themselves into and your vids give me a small taste of it!
I know this off topic, but I really do love your interpretations of the characters with your artstyle, it's just so cute!
Tennelle: “for anyone who is sad in their room all day watching movies or videos...”
Me: uh... well. Yes. Ahem. You caught me.
Me: *sees title*
*dislikes the vid*
*hears she actually likes Dovewing*
*likes the vid*
“Wait!”
“I hear a MoonKitti cry!”
This is neat, I like the analysis of Dovewing tbh, and while my friend EmperorSheep is much more of the Warriors books fan, I myself have barely started the first book before it got returned to my local library, I still can feel that the idea of making Dovewing the "Superpowered powerless" hero would have been really cool. Overall, I really liked this neat video.
I read Omen of the Stars when I was much younger -- more than seven years ago at this point. A lot of details are fuzzy, and I know this video is pretty old now...
But I always remember siding with Dovewing instead of Ivypool. I actively groaned when I had to read an Ivypaw/Ivypool section of the book and (stupidly) started skipping over her chapters. I think I missed out on Ivypool actually becoming a likeable character because her initial attitude made me dislike her so much. I never saw Dovewing as whiny, just idealistic -- I liked her a lot. I was a silly twelve-year-old at the time, yes, but my initial impressions of these characters never really changed. Something about Ivypool still rubs me the wrong way, and I still think Dovewing gets way more hate than she deserves -- that being said, I definitely agree with Tenelle's points in this video. Ivypool had a character arc that MADE her likeable (which I missed out on because my stupid younger self had such a distaste for her), while Doveing remained largely static and was just as likeable as she was in the beginning -- if you didn't like her at the start, you wouldn't like her at the end. It's a shame how much greater she could've been.
Egyptian Enthusiast thats funny. I wanted to skip dovewing XD ivypool is my LIFE-
Personally even if dovewing was well written I wouldn’t really have been a huge fan because I don’t like her general character regardless
I had been avoiding this video for a while because I was worried it was gonna be another hate fest on Dovewing. But I should have known better since the video was from you! Great analysis of Dovewing, you pretty much summed up my feelings of her. Dang, everything I watch your videos like this it makes me want the Erins to write a second draft on their books XD
when u put in that Harry Potter thing I died 😍 I can see Dovewing sounding like Hermione now lol
I actually love the TigerheartstarxDovewing ship!
I agree. Dovewing is a good girl. Unlike someone... *Cough cough Ivypool and Hollyleaf*
She's a precious bean that needs to be protected.
Edit: Okay, since someone decided to start arguing, let me explain why I hate Holly and Ivy.
Hollyleaf's obsession with the warrior code is annoying. Everything's about the code, but for some reason leaving the camp before becoming an apprentice is okay? Huh, I had no idea. When Lionpaw was seeing Heatherpaw, Hollypaw disapproved of them, but then she went to see Willowpaw/shine of RiverClan herself not long after. Really, Hollyleaf?
Then, she killed Ashfur, saying that it was the "right thing to do". She was talked to once or twice about it, and then never again. She tried to make Leafpool, her MOTHER, the cat who GAVE BIRTH TO HER, to COMMIT SUICIDE. How could anyone forgive that? She then runs off to hide from her problems, leaving Jay and Lion sad and confused to deal with the prophecy alone, Squirrelflight having problems with Brambleclaw, and Leafpool having to give up her role as a medicine cat. Meanwhile, Hollyleaf is hanging out with her new boyfriend. When she returns, everyone is so happy that she just left them in the dust. Bramble even defended her so she wouldn't get in trouble for killing Ashfur. After doing all that, I don't understand why everyone is so obsessed with her.
Ivypool. She got jealous because she didn't have superpowers. Now, I can definitely sympathize with her, since I'm often jealous of my own sister. What really annoys me about this is that people in PMVs, AMVs and MAPs make Dove look all smug and happy about being a prophecy cat, despite her showing clear signs in the books that she just wants to be normal. Don't get me wrong, you can do whatever you want, I just think it's annoying and disrespectful to the few people who like Dove.
Oh, and while Dovewing supported Ivypool when she was in the dark forest, Ivy didn't support Dove with the prophecy stuff and Tigerheart.
I get that Tigerheart is a bitch who should go jump off a cliff, but like Tennelle said, he was the only one who understood her and didn't get mad at her for being worried about cats she went on a quest/mission with. And think about people hating on you just because you're in love!
Ivy also killed Antpelt. Dove talked to her about it maybe once, and then they never mention it or think about it again. Oh, and she also tried to destroy Flametail's spirit. She was also supposed to "spy" on the dark forest, but never told anyone anything other than that they were going to attack. Which was honestly kinda pointless, since as we saw on that one scene, Dove could've used her powers for it.
aFantastick. I TOTALLY AGREE!
Hollyleaf came back and stopped being a bitch, Ivypool let go of her jealousy, and found a mate INSIDE her clan, Dovewing fell in love with someone who thinks of her as a cat, not a mate, and left the clan the raised her. But your opinion please don't scream at meee.
Coconut Lover How would you feel if literally everyone started hating you just because you like someone? Also, Hollyleaf and Ivypool both killed someone, but they're forgiven and no one ever mentions it again. I just find it really annoying.
Silent Song. You're the one getting butthurt over someone saying that Dovewing is better than Hollyleaf and Ivypool
Ivypool is a selfish brat in my opinion, and Hollyleaf went on and off from being a jerk to being nice
BrambleBrown Cat excuse me can you explain how ivypool is a brat? Have you never dealt jealousy imagine your sibling was a super star and you where just called oh your so and sos sister it would make you feel like crap ivypool tried to better herself! And then redeemed herself later on and Literally saved the whole clan from the dark forest so tell me again how is she a brat
i love the eye color blend you used
You voice keeps me wanting to watch the video and makes me want more!
I like dovewing and thought she was good in omen of the stars
Does anyone else wanna see a true homosexual relationship on Warriors?? I mean, I know it's unrealistic... But I'd actually really like that.
JoHanSolo ! I doubt the publishers will allow it. One of the authors said she’d like TallstarXJake to be canon, but the publishers commented on that saying that Tallstar and Jake were really good friends (forgot most of the details on this). So yeah, it’s not the authors, it’s the publishers.
I think the reason there arent homosexual relationships is because it would get the books banned in some countries :(
It wouldn't even be unrealistic, cats can actually be homosexual as was recorded before. Unfortunately the publishers won't allow that to happen....>.>
That's the thing; a lot of the time liking a character doesn't mean they're someone you'd get along with or like in real life/in person! I often like characters who'd I'd hate to meet in person.
Tennelle: I like dovewing
Me: we’ve been tricked, backstabbed, and quite possibly, bamboozled
dOUWING? All seriousness you made a lot of good points in this video^^
SketchBook Northflower reference!!
all these characters can be dislikable tbh
hollyleaf:
hOLY hECK you dare tell my secret?!? *kills ashfur*
then...
HEY GUYS GUESS WHAT LEAFPOOL’S MY MOM!!1!1!
ivypool:
oh golly im not special
my sister’s busy??? why isn’t she hanging out with me
sTop ignoring me!1!1
*dovewing tries to contact*
nO you suck bye!1!
dovewing:
im special woah what x1092
ivypool who? sister what? im kinda busy oof
hEEy ivypool
my eyes are approximately all the colors
Those are just character flaws that actually make them more likable.
XxIceCatQueenxX yet people still also hate these characters for these things
I love that the color of her eyes constantly change throughout the video 😂
"I can't help but root the little idiot onward." god what a mood.
but i agree, dovewing deserved more character development in the omen of the stars arc. she's one of my favourite characters in the series and to see a video breaking down her lack of realised potential like this is a rare and welcome thing, thank you for doing it!
