my favorite character is greystripe! the og trio will always have a place in my heart, since i grew up reading these books, but greystripe definitely takes the cake.
his playful personality was always really entertaining to read, and made him a truly great character to start the books with. i loved watching him grow from an apprentice to a warrior, i think a lot of the mistakes he made as a young cat were very human, and could be relatable to a lot of people who read the books.
his arc with silverstream was incredible, and super sad, for more reasons than just how their relationship ended. fireheart and greystripe fighting over whether or not greystripe should continue to see her was a very hard thing to read when i was younger, considering they were so close, and the first relationship you’re really introduced to when you start the books. watching him try to be the best father he could by moving to riverclan was really bittersweet, knowing he was with his kits, but away from his home, and his best friend.
a lot of people disagree, but i thought it was really nice to see him move on from silverstream after so long, and start a new family with millie. i think he was a great father and friend to his clanmates, and still is to this day.
as an elder, and a background character, he still remains one of my favorites. he is still as loyal as ever, and great comic relief for the sad times in the recent books!
overall, he’s a funny, loyal, and determined cat who wants nothing but the best for those that he loves.
