- Badass Decay: The Tribe of Rushing Water. When they first appear in Moonrise, the Cave-Guards are protrayed as large, muscular, capable bodyguards who are able to restrain the main characters. When they show up again in Outcast, the entire Tribe seems to lack knowledge of any basic fighting techniques, and are continually getting their asses kicked by a bunch of untrained rogues, who are able to kill several Tribe cats without suffering any casualties themselves.
- Base-Breaking Character: Ashfur after Long Shadows. Was what he did reasonable or not?
- Cargo Ship: JayfeatherxStick OTP. In the fourth arc, however, he breaks the stick. Nooooo! This has to be the first time in history Ship Sinking has verified the pairing in question: Vicky says that Jay/Stick was romance; therefore, it had to be doomed.
- Die for Our Ship:
- Half Moon gets her share of bashing and accusations of being a Satellite Love Interest, namely from some shippers who pair Jayfeather with other cats such as Cinderheart, Briarlight, Willowshine, and Poppyfrost.
- If a fic is a High School AU, you can expect to see Heathertail portrayed as an Alpha Bitch interfering in Lionblaze and Cinderheart's relationship, when in canon the worst she did was be cold to Lionblaze after their break-up. And even then, she didn't let her grudge interfere with the lives of innocent cats.
- Draco in Leather Pants:
- A sizable amount of Ashfur's fans like to paint him as an innocent victim and make Squirrelflight the bad guy. Other times, he may be portrayed as a lonely, broken cutie who only needed a nice, understanding she-cat to reach out to him, when he was really borderline mentally-ill and largely apathetic towards love after Squirrelflight rejected him.
- Happens to a more minor extent to Hollyleaf. No matter how terrible he was, the fact remains that she did murder a cat, yet there are those who praise her for it or attempt to paint her as not actually wanting to murder Ashfur (including Vicky herself).
- Ensemble Dark Horse: Purdy, Icecloud, Flametail and Fallen Leaves.
- Epileptic Trees: The famous "Ash/White" theory, which theorizes that Ashfur is the father of Dovewing and Ivypool, not Birchfall. The reason for this is that it makes sense genetically(Ashfur is gray, like Dovewing and Ivypool)and that Ashfur and Whitewing have some moments that could be interpreted as a Ship Tease(sharing tongues, teasing, Whitewing being sad over Ashfur's death, etc). This is despite the Erins saying multiple times that Birchfall is the father and that the authors don't exactly adhere to the rules of cat genetics.
- Foe Yay Shipping: Hollyleaf/Sol has its share of fans, despite (or because of) the two being enemies.
- Harsher in Hindsight: This quote becomes one after Longtail's death in the fourth arc.Jaypaw: "Oh great. Let's lump all the useless cats together and hope a tree falls on them!"
- He's Just Hiding: Many fans believe (and were later proven right) that Hollyleaf didn't die when the tunnels collapsed at the end of Sunrise.
- It Was His Sled:
- Hollyleaf dies (Not really). And she isn't the third either.
- Leafpool is the real mother of the Power Trio.
- Launcher of a Thousand Ships: All of the protagonists have all been shipped with their fair share of cats.
- Jayfeather has been shipped with Half Moon, Willowshine, Cinderheart, Poppyfrost, Kestrelflight, Briarlight (after Omen of the Stars), Fallen Leaves, and his stick.
- Lionblaze has been shipped with Cinderheart, Icecloud, Honeyfern, and Heathertail.
- Hollyleaf has been shipped with Fallen Leaves, Sol, Foxleap, Cinderheart, and Willowshine. After Omen of the Stars released, Ivypool joined the list.
- Moral Event Horizon: Ashfur crossed it somewhere in-between betraying his own Clan, trying to have his leader killed and attempting to murder three innocent cats because Squirrelflight broke up with him.
- Ron the Death Eater: Many fans consider Squirrelflight to be a selfish bitch for the sole reason that she dumped Ashfur.
- Wangst: Ashfur actually spouts the line "You have no idea how much pain I'm in. It's like being cut open every day, bleeding onto the stones." over being dumped. Being dumped over a year ago.
