Loving and Defending Silverstream by Silverdusk

Silverdusk shares their opinion on Silverstream.

Hi! My name is Silverdusk and today I’m going to be explaining why I love Silverstream!
Remember this is just my opinion and I definitely understand if you disagree.

Okay, so first I’m going to be listing a few reasons why people might hate Silverstream.

1. She’s a Mary Sue
2. They hate GrayXSilver
3. She’s spoilt
4. She’s selfish

I don’t think any of these are really true and here’s why!

Firstly, Silverstream is not a Mary-Sue! For those who don’t know, a Mary Sue (or Gary Stu for a male character) is an all perfect character. Like, with no flaws whatsoever.
Silverstream is not like this.
Firstly, Silverstream wouldn’t have broken the code to be with Graystripe if she was a Mary-Sue. Instead, Graystripe probably would’ve been in love with her, while Silverstream refused to be with him.
A Mary Sue never would’ve considered leaving her Clan. Also, Silverstream can quite easily be seen as selfish. Even me, a massive Silverstream lover, can understand how people could think she was selfish. So she can’t be a Mary Sue and be selfish and spoilt at the same time, right?
That’s why Silverstream is NOT a Mary-Sue.
She is definitely a quite flawed character, but that’s ok. I still love her:)

Next, many people dislike GrayXSilver. It could be because they think it is rushed or just because they love GrayXMillie more.
Personally, I love GrayXSilver (it’s one of my favourite ships!)
But I don’t hate GrayXMillie or Millie.
Anyway, it’s completely understandable if you hate GrayXSilver. But just because you hate this ship, doesn’t mean you have to hate the cats involved.
But this is a Silverstream defense article, not a GrayXSilver defense article, so I’ll leave this for now.
(Please don’t turn this into a GrayXMillie Vs GrayXSilver or a Silverstream. Vs. Millie argument. Feel free to say who you like more though, but just remember this article is not about who Graystripe loved more!)

Some people also think Silverstream is spoilt. And yeah, she kind of is.
But that’s not her fault! Crookedstar had every right to spoil his only surviving daughter. But because of the,
