Ranking all the Medicine Cats in Warrior Cats

In this video I made a tier list of 25 of the medicine cats in Warriors! Where does your favorite medicine cat rank?

I respectfully disagree with the last one. I believe that Shadowsight was a great character and med cat, and that the drama with Ashfur and him was very interesting and unusual. I also think that the fact that he could not communicate with Starclan was cool and unique, and that it was fun to read about a character who was being called to by darkness, but was able to overcome it and keep his good heart.

Akira: I appreciate Flametail for being the first non-ThunderClan perspective in the clans
Stormfur and Feathertail: 👁️👄👁️

Jayfeather is extremely popular but I love how sarcastic he is. I also LOVE yellowfang- she's just perfect
Edit: also, CLEARLY akira is the best medicine cat. They can literally cure anything with one jayburger and a cookie.

“Flametail is the first non-ThunderClan POV cat” Stormfur from Moonrise: Am I a joke to you?!

Poor Willowshine. She deserved so much more.
I would like a novella on Featherwhisker and Goosefeather’s relationship. It must’ve been hard for the guy to watch his Clanmates badmouth his mentor in front of him and for said mentor’s mental state deteriorate.

I love alderheart so much. Hes so sweet and deserves more booktime

I think you should def go into more detail about Puddleshine, I’m planning a whole map around it actually! Just hear me out.

First of all, as you mentioned in the video, Puddleshine never wanted to be a medicine cat, but was forced to become one because Shadowclan needed a medicine cat. Then Darktail comes along. We know that Puddleshine’s siblings and parents were all eager to join under Darktail’s leadership, and we also know that the only reason Puddleshine remained with the rouges was because he’d sworn to protect his clan mates. He never wanted to join the Kin. Then during his time there, his parents died and 2/3 of his siblings died, the siblings(Birchbark and Lioneye), being directly killed by Darktail.

There’s also the fact that from Violetshine’s perspective, Pinenose was not a very loving mother. True, we were seeing it from Violetshines POV, but still. Also, like mentioned, he was turned into kind of a mean cat in Darkness Within, only to drive Shadowsights plot. Plus we know he had some uncertainty that he would be a good medicine cat, which makes me feel kind of bad for him, he’s trying his best.

This is just what I noticed but I think he has a lot more going on than meets the eye and deserves to be recognised!

I’m not sure why but I imagine medicine cats just magically become British once they become a medicine apprentice

Nooo I love poor Runningnose :( he was so nice in yellowfangs secret! I also like Sagewhisker a lot; I don't know why. I love Shadowsight :( it's so interesting that he's connected to the dark. He was quiet and lonely and sad and I liked that. I would personally put Fidgetflake in F tier. They botched him so bad in Sky, he had 0 personality, I was hoping he would be "fidgety" and odd. Alderheart got super boring after the first book

[thelegendarysuitcase]

Great tier list I agree with most! The only one that suprised me was Barkface's placement, I always felt that Barkface's was such a genuinely nice and trustworthy cat especially towards tallstar in his special edition, I was so sad when he died, I personally would've put him higher! Let's give Akira some love for this tierlist aswell as the other videos, she deserves it!

Akira : 'Fire alone can save our clan.' Name a more iconic line!

Jaypaw ; *Im here to heal you. If you want sympathy, go to the nursery.*

I feel like shadowsight had so much stuff going around him, but the execution was poor at best. the idea of a medicine cat turning evil could've been very interesting imo. he was so devastated after being manipulated into "killing" bramblestar and fooled by ashfur he considered staying in the dark forest. the writers really put so much pressure on the "good cats turning evil" thing, yet we really only saw that with ashfur. I know shadowsight was supposed to be an anxious guy, but come on. that would've been so much better giving the context

[crazy_cookie]

Unpopular opinion but:
I think SpottedLeaf deserves more love. (Havent watched the video yet but I'm just saying)

[ao]

Aw man, I love Barkface 😅 His character and relationship with Tall in Tallstar’s Revenge is just really interesting and relatable to me. Actually, I really liked the trio of Bark, Shrew and Tall, even though the brothers didn’t go with Tall on his climatic journey. Obviously, Jake sort of steals the show in that story, but I don’t think they’ve ever made characters quite like Bark and his brother ever since and I like to think that he and Tall remained very close throughout their long lives as leader and medicine cat.

Aww, Cinder would have been so happy to see she was placed near her mentor! :)

[JotaroKujo-ipwb]

my heart cracked a bit when yellowfang ended up in B instead of A

[sweetwolfsteve]

The only medicine cat I don't like is hawkheart he should have ended up in the dark forest he killed moonflower yes ik moonflower went after their herbs but hawkheart knocked her across the clearing stunning her he didn't need to kill her

Hawkheart lunges at her, hurling her off her paws. He springs onto the she-cat and sinks her teeth into the warrior's neck. Moonflower manages to struggle free and smacks Hawkheart's muzzle, but the tom shrugs her off as if it was a fly. He grabs Moonflower by the throat and throws her across the grass, killing her.
It says on hawkhearts Wikipedia page that he flung her across the clearing by her throat no good cat would attack like that

[RedySetDare]

I kind of always liked Littlecloud because I found it interesting that he started as a warrior and was inspired by Cinderpelt helping him to become a medicine cat. He might not have much going on but I think that was a really nice bit of personality they gave him.

[Yewzii.]

Tbh, I hate that they made Cinderpelt a medicine cat. DeadFoot, a windclanner born with a twisted front paw, was a amazing warrior despite his paw and he even became deputy. However, giving Cinderpelt a second life, makes her special and outstanding from any other cat.

Alderheart is a cat you can actually relate to. All the other protagonists, just worry about the plot, get a love, are almost overconfident and done. Alderheart, on the other hand, will often doubt himself, such as becoming an apprentice. I mean, we all do, don't we?
