Ough that fucking cat that I hate I JUST WANT HIM TO FACE REAL LASTING CONSEQUENCES FOR ONCE IN HIS LIFE
Anyway uhhh so this is Tigerheartstar, in my AU no two cats can have the same name so "Tiger" was replaced by "Golden" when he became leader. He's also more golden-brown in my interpretation of him, partially based on his original description but also just because I like it lol
I do change some stuff with him in OotS, mostly in his relationship with Dovewing (I have turned it from I relationship I hate to a relationship I enjoy) but he mostly stays the same in later arcs. The only major thing is that he is demoted from his leadership position during ASC because of his Clan's unhappiness surrounding the RiverClan thing, his favouritism for his family, and a healthy dose of manipulation from Berryheart. Im not totally sure if I want to have him reinstated at the end of the arc yet.
If he does, it'll go down like this: Cloverstar steps down, acknowledging that she was manipulated by her sister and Goldenstar regains his position which is... controversial among ShadowClan to say the least. I'm pretty much waiting to see if canon Tigerheartstar is gonna do anything I don't think Cloverstar can/would do in Changing Skies, but I already want to change so much of Changing Skies idrk.
I kind of like the idea that he was the right cat to lead ShadowClan out of the darkness during AVoS and TBC, but isn't the right leader anymore.
