Okay, I guess I elicited a response there with my comparison. I can't really decide who 'Ravenclaw' should go to, because both WindClan and RiverClan are clever. Maybe they're both hybrids of Ravenclaw-Hufflepuff.

Welcome to ThunderClan (a clan of Mary-sues)

Welcome to ShadowClan (we hate everyone & you)

Welcome to RiverClan (a clan of beautiful she-cats)

Welcome to WindClan (the one no one cares about, no wonder they're all brats)

My question to you is:

What role does RiverClan play in Warriors? Sure, they had a good racket there, with stealing Sunningrocks back and forth from ThunderClan and almost always loosing, but now it's the new forest and they don't share a border anymore. They produced a couple good leaders there, and they allied with ShadowClan to become the big bad TigerClan. They had several cats that mated with other Clans...

Bingo. Four half-clan kit cases came partly from RiverClan. GrayXSilver, OakXBlue, MapleXhermatethatmaybehasanameIcan'tremember, FeatherXCrow. Also suggested: MouseXMinnow, MistyXFire, CrookedXBlue etc. etc.

From this, I can only make one conclusion! RiverClan is a Clan of pretty cats. Feathertail. Silverstream. Willowbreeze. That's a generation right there!

I see this all the time in FanFic too, a RiverClan she-cat is born, and she is pretty. Don't get me wrong, this happens in other Clans too, but when is the last time you saw a RiverClan she-cat be born seriously ugly? Like, deformed or with ugly bone structure? Never.

Moral of the (short) story: If you're going to make a Mary-sue, let's try WindClan. I don't remember a pretty she-cat ever being there! Anyway, we get it. RiverClan has good genes. But the inbreeding has to start happening somewhere, and with inbreeding comes non-perfection.
