I prefer Survivors over Warriors too! I’m sad that there isn’t going to be a third series. I would’ve loved to see Storm become Alpha one day. Bella is my all time favorite Erin Hunter character. She was an indulgent brat at first who made a lot of mistakes, but she definitely grew from them while still not being entirely without flaws. I adored her relationship with Arrow and I’m happy that on the wiki, they’re winning the “favorite canon couple” poll.
Storm is my second favorite and Sweet is my third. Storm is incredibly strong and a great protagonist. Sweet gets better by the end of the final book and while still not completely redeeming herself, I still like her well enough.
When Bella dies, I cried for a solid half hour and was thinking about it nonstop for like two days. My tablet pen broke, but I’m getting a new one in May, and I’m hoping I’ll get right back on track for drawing them.
I disagree in regards to Arrow not having any personality. He clearly had a strong sense of right and wrong when he went against his pack to tell the Wild Pack of Blade’s plan. He’s also pretty reserved, calm, and levelheaded as opposed to Bella’s passionate and headstrong nature. They’re a really good mix and it’s probably why they’re in the lead for the “favorite canon couple” on the wiki with 178 votes. Second was Lucky and Sweet with 113 votes.
I think it’s heavily implied that Storm will become alpha in the future in the epilogue. They also implied that in Storm of Dogs, so it’s not even a head canon at this point that she’ll eventually become alpha.
