After surfing through 300+ comments, I must admit, I found some fascinating theories! Here are a few theories I found and my thoughts on them. Feel free to share your thoughts too in the comment section of this post! :)
*WARNING :*
The following content contains spoilers for Sunrise and possibly Omen of the Stars.
Theory #1 - A Dark Future?
I've heard a lot of speculation recently about Ivypaw. Vicky Holmes (One of the Erins) seems to be hinting on Ivypaw possibly playing a dark roll in the books. During a Wands and Worlds Author Chat, Vicky was asked "Will Ivykit be Evil?" To which the author replied:
"VickyHolmes(A): She'll be pretty miffed that her sister is getting all the attention, that's for sure!"
It has been confirmed that Dovepaw is the "fourth apprentice" and she will be the final cat in the "Power of Three" prophecy. Could it be possible that Ivypaw grows dark because of jealousy? This brings up the rumor - Will Ivypaw be jealous enough that she teams up with Hollyleaf?
Remember Ashfur betraying his Clan because of Squirrelflight? Perhaps Ivypaw will follow in his pawsteps?
This theory, of course, is dependent on whether or not Hollyleaf survived the tunnels. (I have a suspicion she did!) Even if Hollyleaf is indeed dead, Ivypaw could make a dark character, perhaps not a full fledged villain, but maybe a misunderstood cat who could cause some trouble...
Theory #2 - Love is in the Air?
I cannot resist commenting on this pair brought up by Brightstar. Lionblaze & Cinderheart? It could be a possibility.
Cinderheart is a reincarnation of Cinderpelt. It was revealed in an Author Chat that Cinderpelt was in love with Firestar. Hmmm... Could some of Cinderpelt's feelings be inside Cinderheart? Firestar might be too old for her, but Lionblaze is similar in appearance to ThunderClan's leader...
However, after scanning the Power of Three series for possible LionxCinder hints, I have come up empty handed - er empty pawed. It seems like the logical mate choices for Lionblaze are Heathertail or Icecloud. (Vicky has hinted towards LionxIce) Who knows, maybe the Erins will surprise LionxCinder fans in Omen of the Stars... Keep a sharp eye out for hints!
Theory #3 - Tricky Relations?
Warriors fans have seriously wondered the identity of Firestar's parents ever since the hint dropped in The Rise of Scourge when Quince, Scourge's mother, comments on how odd it was that none of her kits inherited their father's ginger coat. Later the Erins revealed that Scourge and Firestar where half-brothers.
With the release of Bluestar's Prophecy, another character was introduced - Jake. A plump ginger kittypet with a keen interest in the forest. This lead fans to the belief that Jake was the father to Firestar and Scourge.
Unfortunately no other information has been revealed, so for now, this is merely a theory. Hopefully the Erins will shed some light upon this mystery!
(Thanks, Dreamstar for bringing this to my attention!)
Theory #4 - A New Threat?
Okay, I really like this theory that Silverstar thought up. Very original, and possible - take a look:
"I wonder if Brokenstar had a mate before he became leader. Maybe he has kits somewhere. Possible new villains? Because they've exhausted the idea of Tigerstar's kits being evil. Both of Tigerstar's sons are evil. So maybe they'll make Brokenstar have a kit that is evil. Just maybe?"
What are your thoughts on this idea?
