I’m going to try and list all the disabled Warriors characters I can recall and what happened to them, please feel free to add on if I forgot someone. (There’s a fuckton of characters and I haven’t read some of the more recent books!)
-One-eye (The Thunderclan elder): Was a warrior named White-eye, was blinded in one eye. Did not mentor anyone. Retires to the elders den, changes name to One-eye after completely losing her blind eye, becomes virtually blind and deaf presumably due to age, dies at an old age.
-Halftail: Was a warrior named Sparrowpelt, retired to the elders den after losing half his tail to a badger, which made it harder for him to balance in trees. Died during the forest fire in Rising Storm at an old age.
-Stonepelt: Was injured during a battle against Windclan, forced to retire after the wound never healed right. Was mentoring Bluepaw up until his injury, but forced to give up the mentoring on retirement.
-Nightstar: Had asthma, retired to the elders den at a young age due to the asthma, became Shadowclan leader after Brokenstar was driven out but was denied his nine lives because Brokenstar still lived, died of the illness that swept through Shadowclan in the first arc. Mentored Brokenpaw, but had issues with his apprentice disobeying him.
-Crookedstar: Was born as Stormkit, was renamed Crookedkit after he broke his jaw. Mentored Sedgecreek and Stonefur, died of greencough. Was mentored by Mapleshade as part of her revenge plot, Mapleshade ends up making Crookedstar suffer for refusing any more contact with her. Notably, his official artwork showed him as having a less crooked jaw because ‘Vicky thinks the illustrator struggled with showing physical disabilities and wanted to make the cats look more noble and beautiful’.
-Deadfoot: Born as Hopkit, has a twisted paw at birth. An infection in the twisted paw leaves his entire leg unusable, and earns him the rename Deadpaw/Deadfoot, which he is proud of. A number of cats doubt he can be a warrior, including himself, but Hawkheart says he can’t be a med cat because Windclan is covered in that regard and says that if he can limp on his paw then he can walk/hunt. Talltail takes him on as his apprentice intentionally. Was Windclan deputy, but it isn’t known who he had to have mentored to get there. May have died in the battle against Bloodclan, but appeared in The Heart of a Warrior.
-Brokenstar: Was blinded during Fire and Ice, held prisoner by Thunderclan. Turned on Thunderclan during Forest of Secrets when Tigerclaw’s rogues attacked, was killed via deathberry poisoning by Yellowfang.
-Cinderpelt: Was apprenticed to Fireheart, but was hit by a car and ended up with a twisted leg. Ended up becoming a medicine cat, mentored Leafpool. Died defending the nursery during the badger attack in Twilight, was reincarnated as Cinderkit/heart to let her live ‘a full life’. (At this point I’m sideeying everything to do with how Deadfoot was handled vs how Cinder was handled.)
-Snowkit: Was born deaf, was taken by a hawk as a kit because he couldn’t hear the warnings during A Dangerous Path.
-Brightheart: Was mauled by dogs, costing her an eye. Was helped by (an ablebodied) Cloudtail. Renamed Lostface by Bluestar, but re renamed Brightheart by Firestar. Partially mentored Jaypaw, but lost him when he became a med cat apprentice and has not mentored since.
-Longtail: Was a warrior, but retired to the elders den after he was blinded by a rabbit. Died at an older age when he was crushed by a tree. Mentored Swiftpaw and Ferncloud, and was mentoring Sootpaw up until his blinding.
-Berrynose: Loses part of his tail after getting it caught in a fox trap as a kit. Despite how Halftail automatically retired after losing his tail, he becomes a full warrior. Has not mentored anyone.
-Jayfeather: Was born blind, partially trained as a warrior but became a med cat under Leafpool. Mentored Alderheart. Had special Starclan given powers to walk in other cat’s dreams/read other cat’s thoughts, but lost them after The Last Hope.
-Briarlight: Was just about to be a warrior when she got paralyzed by a tree that fell on her. Ended up stuck in camp, assists the med cats in their den, dies of an illness while still young.
-Wildfur: Was paralyzed when a burrow collapsed on him, died quickly of a chest infection due to lack of exercise. Only mentioned by Littlecloud when the Thunderclan med cats are seeking advice for Briarlight.
-Jagged Peak: Had a twisted leg after falling out of a tree, spends a lot of time guarding the camp.
-Pink Eyes: Albino and very poor vision, spent a lot of time guarding the camp/watching kits.
-One Eye: Had one eye, was an antagonist who hijacked Clear Sky’s camp while Clear Sky was away, fathered Star Flower, gets killed by Thunder.
-Petalfall: Former deputy of Skyclan, forced to retire due to epilepsy. Dies during Cloudstar’s Journey. Not known who she had to have mentored to be a deputy.
