Theory- New Leader?

Hello dear readers! I'm here today to discuss who might be the next ThunderClan leader! Lets get started!

~*~

Well, lets go over what we already know. Well, one of the Erins have said that it will be totally unsuspected. That gives us a huge lead, right? So lets go over The Forgotten Warrior allegiances. (It has to be someone that is already in the clan, right? Unless some prophecy is uncovered) Possible spoilers ahead!

Okay, so I crossed off some cats that we probably already know aren't going to be the new leader. (sorry if this list is inaccurate, I got it off a site :P) I mean, face it. Jayfeather, of course, is destined to be a medicine, so he's off the list. If Leafpool were to be the new leader, that would be like pure torture to her! Think about it. Briarlight can't really walk, and is mostly confined to the medicine cat den. Cherrypaw and Molepaw are way too young, and Ferncloud and Daisy are happy within the nursery walls. As for Mousefur and Purdy, I think it pretty self explanatory. So lets zero in on the most unusual cats.

Possibilities- 

Cinderheart

Whitewing

 Brackenfur

Sorreltail

Brightheart

Millie
Graystripe
Squirrelflight

Now I know I'm kind of picked out a few who would really be suspected, but lets carry on. 

Cinderheart- Shows great deal of courage, and Vicky Holmes even said she would love for her to be leader.

Whitewing- Never picks up a fight, has had an apprentice, is caring yet fierce, a great type of leader. 

Brackenfur- Has been thought to be a great deputy many times by Firestar and Brambleclaw. He shows a great authority and leadership traits and has trained many apprentices.

Sorreltail- Quite unsuspected, yes? She shows the becoming of a fantastic leader.

Brightheart- She has gone through so much. She saws great courage, and independence and refuses to let others get her down. Why shouldn't she be a leader?

Millie- Kind, considerate, and didn't ever challenge Cinderheart or Hollyleaf when the truth came out.

Graystripe- Has a lot of experience from being deputy and a senior warrior, and is well known throughout the clans.

Squirrelflight- Feisty, but mighty. She will speak when she wants to speak, and never lets others down.

But that's enough about pros, lets get onto to their flaws!

Cinderheart- She should lay low right now. After her clan found about her past life, they're a little too uneasy around her at this moment.

Whitewing- She may be more of a mother than a leader, like how a Queen cares for her kits. And in my opinion, just isn't ready yet. She is still very young.

Brackenfur- I see no cons in him, but he is a very obvious choice for a deputy.

Sorreltail- Alas, she is a Queen now!

Brightheart- Sometimes she second guesses herself, and seems to question her actions, but other than that, I can't seem to find anything else!

Millie- Though she may be a great cat, she isn't full welcomed into the clan yet, as we have learned in The Forgotten Warrior. (sorry forgot what page number)

Graystripe- Too obvious. I mean, your Firestar's best friend. And plus, some cats may not still trust you. (which is stupid in my opinion, but he had a RiverClan mate and spent some time there with his kits, and took a kitty-pet as a mate. That would just create for gossip about ThunderClan)

Squirrelflight- Bit too outspoken, I must say. And gets offended easily. Little too fired up.. But would be a totally unsuspected choice for a leader, in my opinion!

So the decision is still unknown... But for me, I would love to see Brightheart as a leader. What about you? I only narrowed in on some of the cats, so feel free to say your own opinions about others.
