* BigBad: [[spoiler:Is shaping up to be this for the seventh arc. He conspired with Curlfeather to kill off [=RiverClan=]'s leadership and become deputy, with her as leader, and after her death (which he may have arranged) is continuing the plan to become leader himself.]]

* TheApprentice: [[spoiler:Though his mentor was initially listed as Beetlewhisker in the allegiances, this was a mistake as Beetlewhisker had died back in ''The Last Hope''. His actual mentor, according to the ''Spotfur's Rebellion'' allegiances, was Mallownose.]]

'''Medicine Cats:''' Mothwing and Podlight\\

* DragonAscendant: [[spoiler:He was TheDragon to Curlfeather and would have become deputy under her had the plot to install her as leader succeeded. Due to her death, he's adjusted the plan, and is aiming for leadership himself.]]

* NiceGuy: Mannered, respectful, kind, and disciplined. While initially the Clan is against him being deputy, they ''do'' agree he makes up for Owlnose's shortcomings and is an all-around respectful cat, so he stays. [[spoiler:This is a facade, as he and Curlfeather were planning to take over [=RiverClan=], and despite her death, he's continuing the plan.]]

* YoungAndInCharge: Splashtail is only ''a year old'' when he's appointed deputy, and it's pointed out several times in the book as well. However, what he lacks in experience he makes up for in being decisive (a trait Owlnose lacks) and just being an all-around nice guy.

* ParentalFavoritism: While it's not blatantly pointed out, she clearly favors and dotes upon Frostpaw over her son Graypaw and her other daughter Mistpaw.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: Splashtail is normally a gentle cat, so it terrifies Frostpaw to see how fierce he is when he's prepared to defend his Clan.

* ItsAllAboutMe: A downplayed, but still notable example. [[spoiler: At the end of ''A Light of the Mist'', Mothwing admits that the ''real'' reason she was so hard on Shadowsight in ''Darkness Within'' for being used as an UnwittingPawn by Ashfur was not because she geniunely felt he needed to learn more as a medicine cat, but because she "needed someone to blame" for her being bnished from [=RiverClan=].]]

* TheLeader: [[spoiler:He becomes leader at the end of ''Thunder'', thanks to a dream from Podlight.]]

* TheLeader: [[spoiler:He becomes leader at the end of ''Thunder'' thanks to a dream from Podlight.]]

* AbusiveParents: In ''Thunder'', [[spoiler: it's revealed that she was using Frostpaw as a pawn in order to secure her desired position as leader, seeing that she told Splashtail that Frostpaw believes everything she's told without much question. Curlfeather even admits she pulled some strings to convince her Clanmates ''and'' Frostpaw that the former was born to be a medicine cat that would accomplish great things.]]

* ParentalFavortism: While it's not blatantly pointed out, she clearly favors and dotes upon Frostpaw over her son Graypaw and her other daughter Mistpaw.
