I'm still not buying that we're getting Hawkstar, but let's go through the SkyClan warriors we have currently?

Impossible (These cats have not mentored an apprentice, are too young, or too old.)

Cloudmist, Cherrytail, Sparrowpelt, Fallowfern, Turtlecrawl, Pigeonfoot, Violetshine, Beesting, Mintfur, Beetleshine, Ridgeglow, Duskshine, Nettlesplash, Palesky, Quailfeather, Wrenflight, Needleclaw, Starlingpaw, Robinpaw, and Rootspring.

I do think they'd be willing to overlook the deputy rule about having an apprentice (See. Owlnose) but I'd hate it.

Could, but unlikely. These cats have mentored at least one apprentice, but haven't done basically anything wothwhile.

Gravelnose, Sunnypelt, Dewspring, Nectarsong.

Dewspring maybe...? Idk, he seems unlikely. I know Nectarsong is on the cover, but that's definitely just because she's Starlingpaw's mentor and he's the new protag.

I can see it! They've mentored an apprentice, been a character with personality, and would probably be a good choice.

Harrybrook, Bellaleaf, Rabbitleap, Tinycloud, Sagenose, Macgyver.

I'm rooting for you Bellaleaf! She's sick rn though, so...

Most Likely (If the Erins remember anything)

Blossomheart! She's Hawkwing's sister, and has mentored three apprentices. If they remember the relation and give her character, sure.

Reedclaw! She's the one who started the vote, is Hawkwing's adoptive daughter, and has mentored two apprentices. I could see a Curlfeather/Berryheart situation where she becomes a deputy antagonist to Starlingpaw and Leafstar, meaning well, but going down a bitter and vengeful path for Kitescratch.

Plumwillow!!! Please Hawkwing she was basically your wife. She can be again!! Sandynose is gone!! Make your situationship your deputy!! I'd forgive all the Erins for everything if they made Plumwillow deputy. (They won't.) But she's mentored two apprentices, and if Hawkwing becomes deputy when Curlypaw left, Plumwillow can also do it! She'd be amazing at it!!
