[a side profile design of Mapleshade walking with a grin]
Hello everyone its ya girlie Mushroompaw/light and today I will be defending my #1 favorite villain you guessed it Mapleshade!!! By the way pls don’t hate on me/ leave nasty comments this is my opinion so with that said lets get into it. So Mapleshade… Some might say she deserved the DF and some might say she doesn’t… But when I read MV ( Mapleshade’s Vengeance) I distinctly remember her thinking Starclan was helping her get revenge for her dead kits. But I’m getting ahead of myself so let’s start from the beginning…. Mapleshade was born too (unknown parents) in Thunderclan under (unknown leaders) Leadership. She was a loyal warrior except for one flaw… She was dating a riverclan warrior famously known as Appledusk… Btw he was a jerk so in honor of that…. The Jerkiest Jerk of the year goes too…. APPLEDUSK!!! Now then after Ravenwing snitched on her she had too bolt out. Now some people are like Why didn’t she use a bridge or a log or something? Well my answer too that is… SHE HAD LIKE 30 SECONDS TOO LEAVE THUNDERCLAN TERRITORY!!!! Ahem… Anyways…. Now let’s talk about the cats she…. Um … Oofed … Appledusk who cheated on her, Frecklewish ( not skyclan obvi) who watched her kits drown, and Ravenwing who got her into this mess. Honestly think about it.. If YOU got kicked out, cheated on, and found out your former clanmate didn’t help you wouldn’t YOU go crazy and mad? I would. She had solid reasons too kill everyone and if Flowerpaw I think that’s her name didn’t kill her if I were her if I’d kill Oakstar too. Also even while she was oofing everyone, she still never thought Starclan would abandon her. Also Thunderclan and Riverclan broke the Warrior code because kits were in danger and Riverclan only leaped too help when it was too late, and Oak, Freckle, and the rest of Thunderclan didn’t twitch a whisker too help the kits. Also Frecklewish thought they were birchsomethings kits but Mapleshade obviously couldn’t confirm it so she had too go along with it.
Anyways I hope that explains everything um yeah Mushroompaw OUTπ

I totally agree with you, Mushroompaw. Great article!
I think Mapleshade should go to the Dark Forest, but you did a great job on this article!
Whoa!Such a great article,Mushoompaw! I agree that Mapleshade was just saving her kits,
and Medicine Cats should understand about it instead of just kicking her out.And Appledusk just betrayed her by taking a mate from his own clan,and then rejecting the cat he had sworned to only love and his own kits!THAT IS SOOO OUTRAGING!!!!!!
So I agree!(But Ashfur is my favourite villain,but Mapleshade did what she believed to be right,which does mean she isn’t a coward like Appledusk).
Nice article! I still don’t defend Mapleshade, and I don’t think Ravenwing was that bad he was doing what was right for his Clan π
Amazing, I totally agree! (not read MV but many people say she didn’t deserve the DF). The only thing is when she was in the DF she was really mean and *cough* actually evil. Amazing article, though!
I feel like you’re getting to your points too fast, jumping from topic to topic as quickly as you can without giving breathing room or evidence to your claims. If you took the time to give us a chance to examine what you gave us before jumping to the next thing you might convince more people. Anyway fun but really fast and dizzying article.
I really agree with all this! Mapleshade is my favorite villain, too. Cool article!
Awsome article! And totaly agree!
Mapleshade Supporters unite!
I hate Mapleshade, but I see why you think this.
Great article! But I think it was Perchpaw not Flowerpaw? Flowerpaw is the apprentice who drowned while trying to save her mentor after Appledusk pushed him of a cliff or something .
Another mushroompaw oooooo
Great article!
I disagree. Ravenwing and Frecklewish shouldnβt have been killed; they didnβt deserve it at all. Ravenwing had no obligation to help Mapleshade and her delusional fantasies of everyone perfectly accepting her kits despite their parentage. He probably told Oakstar about her because he was trying to prove himself as a trustworthy medicine cat (his experienced mentor had just died, leaving him the sole medicine cat) and because he realized just how delusional Mapleshade was being. And he received an omen from StarClan about Mapleshadeβs lie; why would they send him an omen if not to tell his leader?
Frecklewish shouldnβt have been killed either. I wouldnβt jump into a raging river, seriously risking my life, to have a sliver of a chance to save someone. Her kits were being rushed along, Frecklewish probably wouldnβt have been able to save the kits, and would likely have died along the way. She was likely thinking of Flowerpaw, who tried to save Birchface in the rushing river but failed and drowned. She didnβt want to repeat that.
StarClan wasnβt helping Mapleshade, and if she thought they were, then surely she couldβve at least had the decency to tell that killing three cats wasnβt a very good solution to her problems? She didnβt, and thatβs why sheβs in the Dark Forest.
I see your point and you’re entitled to your own opinon but Frecklewish was tied down by the warrior code which says a true warrior shall not neglet a kit in danger or pain. Mapeshade wasn’t the only one who broke the code.
The warrior code kinda sucks tbh. It is almost never a correct moral guideline when it needs to be. Frecklewish, if she did try to save the kits, would be pointlessly risking her own life for something that was very likely a lost cause. She had already seen someone drown trying to save someone else; understandably, she didnβt want to die for no reason.
Yes, they both broke the code. But I think that Frecklewish shouldnβt have been killed. She for one doesnβt know how to swim, and the river was really dangerous for any cat to swim in it. She COULD have jumped in the river to attempt to save the kits, but she would probably have just drowned with them. It would have been pointless either way
I agee soooooooo much! Mapleshade had perfict reasons for everything she did. OMG I hate Appledusk!!!!!! He was such a senfish and mean cat! Mapleshade loved him and he pushed her away. In the end she wase’nt even trying to kill him. Mapleshade is one of my fav. warriors and she did nothing worse then what Leafpool did and Leafpool went to Starclan so Mapleshade deserves a place there to! Plus if Frecklewish, Okestar, Ravenwing, and Appledusk haden’t done the horrible things they did then Mapleshede never would have done the things she did. Also Frecklewish’s brother(the one Frecklewish asumed had fathered Mapleshad’s kits) is named Birchfase.
