FEATHERS // feathertail pmv

i've always wanted to make a feathertail pmv with this song. a lot of content about feathertail is from other characters' perspectives (crowpaw, stormfur) or about romance. i wanted to focus more on feathertail's point of view.

in this pmv, stonefur's death was a really formative event for her. stonefur's sacrifice laid the foundation for making her the sort of cat who would jump to her death to save her friends and family, without hesitation. she struggles with loyalty to the warrior code vs loyalty to the cats she loves. part of her resents the clans for what they did to her and her brother, and mistyfoot and stonefur.

even after tigerstar was driven out, leopardstar never fully trusted her or stormfur, and while stormfur worked hard to be accepted, feathertail didn't think she should have to prove herself. and she never could forget that leopardstar was the cat who exiled graystripe, and brought tigerstar to riverclan. she's proud of her parents, and refuses to feel ashamed of herself. when she falls in love with crowpaw, she knows it worries stormfur, but she thinks, maybe, it's the warrior code that needs to change, not her.

moonrise was the first warriors book i ever read, so feathertail (and stormfur) will always be special to me.
