Dragonpaw wonders if Frecklewish deserved to go to the Dark Forest.
Hi there! Sparkie here, and today I will be analyzing Frecklewish. Personally, I don’t like her. Does she deserve to go to the dark forest? Let’s find out.
(!WARNING! THIS ARTICLE INCLUDES MANY SPOILERS! IF YOU DON’T LIKE READING ABOUT MAPLESHADE’S OR HAVEN’T YET, I SUGGEST YOU LEAVE THE ROOM)
So, in the beginning of Mapleshade’s vengeance, you can see that Mapleshade is having kits with a Riverclan tom, Appledusk. This is against the warrior code, so obviously Mapleshade can’t just waltz into Thunderclan camp and yell, “I’m having kits with a Riverclan tom!” Naturally, Mapleshade just doesn’t say who the father was. Now, if we look at the beginning, we can see that Birchface, Frecklewish’s brother, was indeed killed- by Appledusk.
Anywho, Frecklewish basically told Mapleshade that the kits were her brothers. The whole of Thunderclan believes this now. When Mapleshade kits, Oakstar appears. When Mapleshade introduces the kits to Oakstar, he informs her that he is their grandfather. Then they started talking about Birchface and blah blah blah, now let’s get to the drama.
Mapleshade’s kits, Larchkit, Patchkit, and Petalkit were caught by the Riverclan patrol and Ravenwing immediately realized who their real father was and told Thunderclan. Though Mapleshade denied it, she was exiled from Thunderclan. She is now going to Riverclan, and that is when some stuff happened. Mapleshade’s kits drowned in the river as they were trying to escape to Riverclan. Later, it is revealed that Frecklewish literally just watched her kits drown, so Mapleshade killed her. Oof. She also killed Appledusk accidently when she attempted to murder his mate, Reedshine, for vengeance. That’s besides the point. Let’s talk about Frecklewish now. While Mapleshade’s kits were DROWNING, Frecklewish just stood there and watched, not even THINKING of helping. (Ok, she probably was thinking about helping, BUT SHE DIDN’T.) Now, obviously, Mapleshade got mad and killed Frecklewish with an adder, and then Mapleshade died from her wounds, even though Myler tried to help her. Seriously, Mapleshade?
Now let’s talk about if Frecklewish should go to the dark forest, AKA the place of no stars. To do that, let’s see if she did anything bad in her lifetime. I don’t believe she did anything. She promised to help raise her “brothers” kits, and that is nice.
In conclusion, I don’t think Frecklewish deserves to go to the place of no stars. I don’t like her, partly because I am in love with Mapleshade. But, I do not think FRecklewish should go to the Dark Forest. Tell me what you think!
Thank you for reading!
Great Article!!
I think it was partly Frecklewishes fault that Mapleshades kits drowned. I guess it was fair that she went to the dark forest and it is possible that Starclan thought it was her fault because there’s a chance she was probably thinking of helping and decided not to which is wrong because they were just kits.
(Analyzing text) Hmmm… says here Maple’s kits drowned in a FLASH FLOOD, Freckle isn’t a RiverClan warrior and thus can’t swim, there’s so much rain that it’s hard to see/hear cats right next to you, and it’s implied Freckle didn’t even know if the kits were even dead until Maple came to kill her? HMMMMMMMM…
I like your article, but there’s some stuff that needs to be checked.
I do believe Frecklewish should go to the dark Forest for many reasons, but the two mains are 1.She watched Mapleshades kits drown, and although she saw the Riverclan cats, she could have helped them and maybe even saved them, and 2.She voted to kick out Mapleshade, attacked her, and completely agreed to send 3 helpless kits and their mom into the wild, alone.I feel that Freckle wish was an extremely cruel character.
