Is Splashtail the next Hawkfrost? (Warrior Cats)

Imagine an entire book of Splashtail trying to kill Frostpaw on the journey but she commically, or accidentally avoids it with no problem and stays oblivious to his effords xD

No wait I didn't even realize I drew Splashtail in the EXACT SAME POSE as Hawkfrost from few years back xD A lucky accident? 😅

News: with the new kittypet revealed (wafflepaw) to be in thunder and it saying frostpaw must go to riverclans roots (likely riverclans old territory) with the fact wafflepaw isn’t something a cat would name a kit, no waffle kit, and the fact warriorclan resides near riverclans old territory, I’m almost certain frostpaw will encounter warrior clan and meet wafflepaw, maybe wafflepaw will even go back with frostpaw and join riverclan (they could even become mates but that’s just what I want) though I’m basically 100% certain wafflepaw will be from warriorclan, and considering they say waffles owner will get to see the mark on the series wafflepaw will likely have a big role to play, reinforcing my belief that wafflepaw will go with frostpaw to join riverclan :)

I love Sneezecloud, so it makes me sad that his son might be the next villain, but I also love everything about it. I hope Sneezecloud gets his moment with his son in this arc.

I hope the young warrior who helps Frostpaw is a Windclan cat. I don't care who, just give Windclan some focus!

I actually think Wafflepaw will be the cat she has to meet and bring back. The fact that the team is asking fans to poll for a cat to star in Thunder, it just seems too much of a coincidence in timing for them to do that NOW. I think what's gonna happen, is she goes on this quest, brings back Wafflepaw, and finds that someone's installed themselves as leader and there's a new fake medicat as well. And no one's gonna believe her that a KITTYPET would be a leader figure either medicat or actual leader because of her faulty visions before. The drama in this arc has been so good, and I wouldn't put it past the writing team, to just pull a "SURPRISE!" moment like this halfway through the arc.

I think you could possibly be on to something with the Owlnose theory at the end. Think about it; how lucky is it that Owlnose chose Splashtail? Either its a happu accident, Owlnose is in on the whole thing, or Splashtail told/threatened Owlnose to make him deputy. I dont think that would be the whole reason why hes so nervous; thats probably simply his personality... but maybe Splashtail really was threatening him.

Depends on what version of hawkfrost we're getting. He was an amazing character during the dark forest story, with ivypool and what-not.

I was suspecting splashtail was the evil cat,He seemed as he was faking that he loved frost paw and was most likely manipulating her visions.And he was urging frostpaw to be a med cat again.

Haven’t been reading Warriors recently, but this seems like a super interesting arc! Some status quo changes and a grounded conflict with some supernatural elements.

Please, let Mothwing talk with someone about the trauma and despair caused to her by Hawkfrost. It'd be a good chance to bring back the Mothwing we've grown to love that we lost during The Broken Code, and it'd be a good lesson for Frostpaw to take signs with a grain of salt unless she is absolutely certain they came from Starclan, so as to not face the heartbreak and criticisms Mothwing did.

I'm still convinced that Duskfur is the true mastermind of this plot in Riverclan, but she's using Splashtail as a younger, more mass-appealing face to her operations, kinda like what happened with Tigerstar the First and Ashfur being the public faces of the Dark Forest but with Mapleshade running the show "behind the throne". If this turns out to be true, I think it would introduce Duskfur fully as a new, powerful, and kiniving female villain in the same vein as Mapleshade, while still having Splashtail be a big problem, kinda like having him be Duskfur's "fixer" or "hitman" as really, over the course of the three books we've gotten so far, Duskfur has done far more threatening and vying for leadership than Splashtail and just seems to have a much darker and more menacing presence around her. Having her be like the Emperor to Splashtail's Darth Vader would be a cool dynamic, and create multiple new, well-written villain characters to fill the roster back up.

I think that the StarClan system is still kinda messed up- like new medicine apprentices can’t communicate correctly? Just an idea as to why Frostpaw can’t use the Moonpool to talk to StarClan- but they could still send her visions :)

I just found out Splashtail is related to Frostpaw, I believe they’re cousins? Them being future mates will def be… awkward. But all that aside, I do hope Splashtail becomes an actual successful Hawkfrost. I so desperately need an interesting character in this arc. Him being manipulative and using Frostpaw and actually coming out on top, and while the Clan seems to not enjoy that he’s deputy rn, having them back him up to drive (or kill, please get rid of the damn clones) Tigerstar would be great. Having a real threat for the Clans that isn’t an outside force.

Damn, he's basically what Hawkfrost wanted to be.

It would also be cool if something happens with warriorclan they had so little time in the books. Maybe monkeystar has something to fulfill. Maybe thats what frostpaw finds at the older riverclan territory (as if I remember correctly warriorclan lives in old riverclan territory)

Why are so many of the villians brown tabby toms? XD

Personally I still believe Duskfur is the main baddie. And that Splashtail's mention of being able to manipulate Frost was because he knew she trusts him, and possibly also because he's already gotten away with it before (I suspect he's the one who left both the star shaped herb, and later the feather that was what ended up convincing Frostpaw to pick Curl as the leader). But I can't see him as either the mastermind who'd plan everything or as charismatic enough to persusuade others to follow him.

A very handsome new Hawkfrost, that is.
