Fan ArticlesJaymoon lists cats they think deserve more attention.
Hello everyone! It’s me Jaymoon here, talking about some cats I think need more attention or more love. These are my sympathetic glances towards some cats who deserved some better things other than hate. So let’s get started!
Juniperclaw –
So yes, he did poison Skyclan prey, a VERY VERY bad deed. Though, he didn’t think was doing too much harm, just protecting his clan like a loyal warrior, his only problem was being a bit too loyal. He learnt his lesson and saved Shadowsight and went to the Dark Forest in misery. He really wanted to go to Starclan, but he did a terrible thing. Oh, Starclan I feel so sorry for him.
Leafpool –
She lived in misery as well, the secret of her kits had been kept so long, Leafpool had cared so much and yet, when the time came of the knowledge coming out she was hated for it. And what made it worse was her kits hated her too, and you know what made that misery X2? Her own kit leaving the clans because of it. She lived in pain for about half her life, only her father, mother, and sister did care about her. Lionblaze was a tiny bit sympathetic, but Jayfeather was full on hatred. Leafpool deserved more I think.
Mapleshade –
Yes, she was indeed cruel, for basically all of her dead life. Though, it’s not fair on her in my opinion, because like other cats, she loved a cat from another clan, just like LeafXCrow, BlueXOak, and GrayXSilver, but did they get exiled because of it? No, did their kits drown? No, were they rejected for the rest of their lives? No. Mapleshade was hated, even her mate rejected her. And she was forgotten so soon. Mapleshade needs more love, my sympathy goes a lot more to her than any other cat in the warriors universe.
So that’s all I really sympathise for actually! They all need more love and patience, they were rejected a lot. I really do have heaps of sympathy towards them, especially Mapleshade.
Let’s end it here cats!
May Starclan light your path, now and always!
(And hopefully you don’t end up like those cats)

I think Juniperclaw’s okay, I hate Leafpool and I’m neutral on Mapleshade.
Why do you hate Leafpool?
Why do you hate Leafpool? I like her.
Nice article, but Mapleshade is kind of overrated imo, but she should get more sympathy in the canon world.
Ya..
Great Article!! MapleShade is one of my favourite characters so good one!! (First Comment?)
I TOTALLY AGREE WITH THIS! Cats like Ashfur or Scrouge, or Breezepelt or Tigerstar #1. All of them had reasons. Ashfur was driven by heartbreak, Scourge wanted to prove his worth, and Tigerstar wanted to keep his promise to Leopardfoot before she died. The Erins are making a pattern, and I can see it a mile away.
what promise to leopardfoot?
Ashfur: heartbreak
Scourge: revenge on Tigerclaw/star for beating him up when he was a kit
Breezepelt: prove himself to his father, Crowfeather
Tigerstar 1: ambition-
I have very little sympathy for Leafpool (something about her just bothers me) , however I am a big Mapleshade fan and totally understand why she did what she did. Great article!
I feel a lot of sympathy for Leafpool. She is my fav and I can relate to her.
what do you mean by mary sue…. IF YOU ARE INSULTING SUCH A GOOD CHARACTER I SWEAR I WILL CALL UPON CHEETAHSPARK TO EAT YOUR BRAINS!!!
Please remain polite and respectful, Beetlepaw, even when you disagree with someone’s opinion ^^
She is not a great character in my humble opinion. She has almost no flaws and even though she has some, her flaws are very unrealistic. She is not well-written and overrated by the fandom. I don’t like her, personally.
Nice article. I can sympathize with some cats to an extent.
Here is why I find it hard to fully sympathize with some of these cats.
– Juniperclaw almost killed a cat due to his little SkyClan scheme, and he was a deputy at this time! He should’ve known better, and he’s not some mouse-brained little apprentice, he’s ShadowClan’s deputy. While I do think he is worthy of redemption, I can see why he was placed in the Dark Forest. What he did was reckless and cruel, and what he did almost killed a cat. If his victims see he has changed tho, and want to forgive him, I do see him worthy of StarClan again.
– Mapleshade had a sad life, what happened to her was unjust. That doesn’t justify her murder or her trying to attack a queen. That queen was Reedshine, and she wanted to kill her for stealing Appledusk. Reedshine had so little involvement in Mapleshade’s story, she was just the other cat who’d been cheated on by Appledusk. That’s kind of where I lose all my sympathy for her. (This is not even counting her extremely cruel murder of Frecklewish and Ravenwing)
It’s not that I don’t like Mapleshade, but I don’t like her actions in MV and onwards. Mapleshade is petty, vengeful, and cruel. That’s why she’s a good villain, but that’s also why I find it hard to sympathize with her.
Nice article though, hope to see more in the future.
True but she hallucinated patchkit larchkit and petal kit telling her to kill cats to avenge them and she truly thought she was helping then to get to starclan. Also, the cats she killed just happened to cause the kittens dearh and it’s reasonable for her to hate thunder clan and river clan if u put yourself in her paws. And her victims did have some small level of having a part to play in the kittens dearh.
I’m neutral on Juniperclaw and I love Leafpool and Mapleshade
I’ve always found Juniperclaw an interesting character, and it would be absolute TORTURE to know that you would’ve gone to Starclan had you not done that one thing…
I like Juniperclaw and I hardly feel he should’ve gone to the Dark Forest (haha, when Ashfur of all cats gets to go). I don’t really like Leafpool, but, she’s not terrible, you know. I like Mapleshade a lot!
Great article!
ikr? Love too much? HE ALMOST KILLED 3 CATS! JUNIPERCLAW ONLY ALMOST KILLED ONE! AND JUNIPERCLAW GOES TO THE DARK FOREST AND ASHFUR GOES TO STARCLAN! Sometimes it feels as though StarClan has lost their brains.
they have
Great Article!!
I love Leafpool!!!! I guess I like Juniperclaw and don’t like Mapleshade.
I totally agree with all of these!! Especially about Mapleshade!
