* BadassDecay: The Tribe of Rushing Water. When they first appear in ''Moonrise'', the [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin 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.
* BaseBreakingCharacter: Ashfur after ''Long Shadows''. Was what he did reasonable or not?
* CargoShip: [=JayfeatherxStick=] {{OTP}}. [[spoiler:In the fourth arc, however, he breaks the stick. ''[[BigNo Nooooo!]]'']] This has to be the first time in history ShipSinking has verified the pairing in question: [[spoiler:Vicky says that Jay/Stick was romance; therefore, it had to be doomed]].
* DieForOurShip:
** Half Moon gets her share of bashing and accusations of being a SatelliteLoveInterest, namely from some shippers who pair Jayfeather with other cats such as Cinderheart, Briarlight, Willowshine, and Poppyfrost.
** If a fic is a HighSchoolAU, you can expect to see Heathertail portrayed as an AlphaBitch 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.
* DracoInLeatherPants:
** A sizable amount of Ashfur's fans like to paint him as an innocent victim and make [[RonTheDeathEater 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 [[spoiler: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).]]
* EnsembleDarkhorse: Purdy, Icecloud, Flametail and Fallen Leaves.
* EpilepticTrees: 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 ShipTease(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.
* FoeYayShipping: Hollyleaf/Sol has its share of fans, despite (or because of) the two being enemies.
* HarsherInHindsight: This quote becomes one after [[spoiler: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!"
* HesJustHiding: [[spoiler:Many fans believe (and were later proven right) that Hollyleaf didn't die when the tunnels collapsed at the end of ''Sunrise''.]]
* ItWasHisSled:
** [[spoiler: Hollyleaf dies (Not really). And she isn't the third either.]]
** [[spoiler:Leafpool is the real mother of the PowerTrio.]]
* LauncherOfAThousandShips: 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 [[CargoShip 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.
* MoralEventHorizon: [[spoiler: 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.]]
* RonTheDeathEater: 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''.
