Squirrelflight
Brambleclaw
Lionblaze
Ashfur


When I heard this song, the very first thing I thought of was Breezepelt. But then I realised it fits well with Hollyleaf too, and THEN I realised holy crap these two have a lot of similarities.

Breezepelt is a confusing character to talk about, because there seem to be two versions of him. Breezepelt before Crowfeather's Trial is, well, not a very good cat. But Breezepelt after Crowfeather's Trial... well I don't want to say he got a redemption arc, because he really didn't- he literally just changed completely between books. I really don't like Breezepelt for this reason, he's a conflicting character who is hard to form opinions on because he's honestly closer to two characters than one.

But if we assume that Crowfeather's Trial Breezepelt is the real Breezepelt, and everything BEFORE that was just a retcon- then you really start to see some parallels between him and Hollyleaf.

Breezekit and Hollykit both grew up as normal kits, before the family drama started kicking in. Hollyleaf found out about the secret and revealed it- and both her and Breezepelt turned to rather unreasonable methods (cough, murder, cough) to deal with this information and their feelings.

Hollyleaf took it out on Ashfur, and Breezepelt took it out on Crowfeather's other family.

It happens at different times of course, but Breezepelt resents The Dark Forest for misguiding him, and I believe Hollyleaf would at least partially resent StarClan and their warrior code for tearing her family apart.

Just imagine that Breezepelt's side is happening mostly during Crowfeather's Trial - Nightcloud disappears, Crowfeather is distant, and he regrets attacking Lionblaze.

While Hollyleaf's is happening during the Power of Three and Hollyleaf's Story - She spills the secret, runs into the tunnels, and regrets murdering Ashfur.

I kind of love talking about warriors so forgive the way I always ramble in the descriptions, it's fun to me :) I hope this makes sense and isn't completely unreadable!!



Also!! Although I wasn't inspired by it, here's a shoutout to this other cool PMV featuring this song with Hollyleaf!
