** Thrushpelt loves Bluestar, who only liked him as a friend. She and Oakheart fall for each other instead. Thrushpelt accepts it, though: once Bluestar gets pregnant with Oakheart's kits, Thrushpelt says that he understands and offers to claim her kits as his own if she can't share who the real father is (which the Clan would believe, knowing of their friendship and his feelings for her.)

Later on, some time after Bright Stream's death, Gray Wing meets Storm and falls for her -- a lot more strongly than he had with Bright Stream. She and Clear Sky end up falling in love at first sight.

** There are several times when characters other than the heroes are off on their own quests to save the Clans. There are several such as Yellowfang, who in the first book was organizing a resistance against [[StarterVillain Brokenstar]]; Stormfur, who was helping the Tribe become strong enough to defeat the Mountain Invaders; Tigerheart, who spied on the Dark Forest so that he could protect the Clans; and even Jingo, a cat trying to protect her band of former kittypets after their lives were ruined by Sol.

* MadLibFantasyTitle: It would take much less time to list the books that don't apply to this trope. ''Warriors'' is full of mystical stuff (such as ''Bluestar's Prophecy'' or ''Mistystar's Omen''), metafictional stuff (like ''Firestar's Quest''), and vague time-and-space stuff (''Eclipse'', ''Moonrise'', etc).

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters : Each book features a section at the front which lists all the characters. Most books' Allegiances sections nowadays have OVER ONE HUNDRED characters listed. (Of course, several of them are background characters, kits, and cats who haven't even made an appearance.) There are over [[SerialEscalation a thousand named characters in the whole series.]]

* ImprovisedBandage: the Clans - being feral cats and without access to modern medicine - use cobwebs as bandages, which was inspired by the real-life historical use of spiderwebs in wound treatment. In ''Tigerclaw's Fury'', when Tigerclaw is unable to find the usual cobwebs to bandage his wounds, he has to look for anything in the forest that will work to staunch the bleeding: first he searches for moss, and ultimately settles for leaf mulch.
