Description
Another opposite warriors cats, this time the barn boys.

Ravenpaw is usually portrayed being thin, skittish, and a black cat, so I have transformed him into Dovepaw, a big white cat who would fight anyone who looks at him bad.
Barley in the books is a big black and white cat who left a brutal gang to go live a peaceful life at the barn. So, the opposite of Barley would be a small cat who loves voilence, but was kicked out of his group for going "too far," and now works as an assassin for hire, hiding in the barn. I made him a tabby because his sister was one originally, and I thought swapping their colors would be neat.
I came up with a reverse story for them as well. Basically, Dovepaw was banished from his clan, and Barley has taken him in as an apprentice to help him get revenge. Why Dovepaw was exiled is something up in the air, depending on what works more as a reverse story. It could be Dovepaw was blamed for the kits going missing in the first book and is driven out, or it could be he wanted Tigerclaw to be deputy so much he killed Redtail to make it happen, and was exiled when the rest of the clan found out about it.

It's interesting to think about what would be the opposites of each warrior cat, and how different should you make them before they become unrecognizable. Like, I inverted Ravenpaw's colors and made him bulky, but I feel like he still holds some sense of who Ravenpaw was. Meanwhile Barley looks completely unrecognizable, both in personality and in story. How far can you go before you just create completely different characters, losing the entire appeal of basing them off of the original character? It's fun to think about.
