Fun fact: The kits wailing in Mapleshade's head that were silenced by her murders were not actually the kits in her head, instead they were hallucinations created by Mapleshade's mind, and was a "reason" for her killing spree.
That’s right! Vicky once said so on her Facebook page. Mapleshade’s a good example of an unreliable narrator, where the things she percieves isn’t necessarily how it actually happened.
In other words she basically went sort of almost kinda insane
@Anonymity He cheated. That’s it. It’s jerk move and he deserved to get humiliated. But it DOES NOT justify his murder. Are you insane?!
@@alphaareus I agree, although AppleDusk did something wrong and should be punished but murder isn’t the way to go for this situation. Two wrongs doesn’t make a right.
How do u know that?
Just imagine the au where she didn't fall in love with Appledusk and actually went on the path to be a future deputy if Thunderclan 👀
OR, if her kits actually WERE Birchface's kits
Omg yes. I would LOVE to see that
From what I know, some TC cats said that she could be an amazing deputy and a strong leader, before everything happened. I actually like that idea
or if both Mapleshade and Appledusk were exiled and they became a villain duo!
Maplestar jndeed
Maybe Bloomheart was Flowerpaws father and in his mind Appledusk was his daughters murderer too
Ooh, that’s an interesting theory, I like it!
In The Broken Code it was forgotten that Mapleshade was fading away, and because of the whole Frecklewish in the Dark Forest drama, I've heard speculations that Mapleshade might take a major part as a villain in A Starless Clan (newest, just started arc)
And honestly, that would be interesting to see, and might once and for all end the whole thing with Mapleshade that started
Thank you for explaining things outside of just Mapleshade Vengeance tho
I wonder if she had involvement in possibly trapping Frecklewish in the Dark Forest and- I know it’s a stretch- what was described in the site was hinting on what Mapleshade says later in the series to manipulate someone, maybe Flamepaw, if she reappears as a main antagonist. Again, I’m just guessing
@@mysryuza I think probably Frostpaw, because it's hard for her to know if she's actually talking to StarClan or not. (Go watch Bright Guardian Akira's video about how Mapleshade might return)
She’s remembered from the battle in the last hope
Applesusk was a coward, acting like the victim and cheating on reedshine and mapleshade at the same time, and turning against mapleshade and blaming her. For the kits deaths, in my opinion he deserved what happened to him.
The thing about Appledusk is that we don't know why he decided to cheat instead of doing anything else he cheated, he didn't have any malicious intent. My headcanon is that he was scared what Mapleshade would do or act like if he told her he didn't wanna be mates anymore. (He also had every right to blame Mapleshade for the deaths of her kits and to turn against her)
It's not confirmed that Appledusk cheated. It's only confirmed that he was close with Reedshine.
He had every right to break up with Mapleshade and blame her for what happened to their kits, as she *is* at fault.
Now, if Appledusk cheated, it was because Mapleshade was so possessive that she was toxic. He most likely felt trapped.
Well, it WAS Maplshade who sent her kits into a river during a flood.
I feel so bad about how little sympathy Maple got after her kits died. Everyone in Riverclan coddled Appledusk, but sent away the grieving mother asking them for refuge. And it’s not as if Mapleshade wanted to drown her kits, she loved those little shits. She was fantasising about the warriors they’d grow up to be and was clearly very proud of them. (Even though her whole Birchface plan was stupid.)
Im sorry to the mapleshade fans but this is truth MAPLESHADE IS NOT BROKEN she is both pure evil and kinda broken
Appledusk cared about the kits he Was doing what was right he saved patchkit when mapleshade took her kits for a trip to afew rivers and puddles and he also saved mapleshade and he was completely honest that he was the father of those kits instead of mapleshade who started the forbidden he was the victim Mapleshade was being controling and said once " . . . YOU better stay away from appledusk reenshine hes mine. AND these kits will make sure of that" and also frecklewish couldnt save her she was shocked and couldnt risk her own life to drown in the river shes not a riverclan cat Ravenwing was doing his job he was also young since his mentor died and also he did his job by spilling mapleshades secret he was doing his job as a med cat he couldnt lie for the sakes of the clan and since leaders could possibly learn and he could get in trouble and being honest to his clan was a good thing And why? Didnt mapleshade just say they werent birchfaces kits and mapleshade always shakes off what they would do if the secret was revealed and they got in trouble mapleshade had faith in her clan but she never had a plan if that faith was broken in half.
I remebre seeing an add for these books when I was much younger. They looked interesting but I never got around to reading them. Now I stumble on a random you tube video over a decade later only to find out that this story reads like a Greek tragedy.
and this is only ONE of them!! basically every single cat in the seres has a story nearly as complex as this one and there have been at LEAST 100 cats so far lol
@@fallingasleepaswespeak not 100 there has been way more characters than that
@@fallingasleepaswespeakMore like 500
@@skullcollecter2979actually it’s over 2k
One thing I noticed people do is think Mapleshades story is a story of a tragic hero's downfall. And while I agree some characters no matter how you slice it make bad horrible decisions (ravenwing and oakstar banishing a new mother, and Appledusk for chasing her out after her kids deaths.) But just because people are cruddy to someone *DOESNT* make someone a tragic hero.
Most of the dialogue is told through Mapleshades pov. Because there is no other cat to pov in this timeline, we don't know full context. Best example is Frecklewish and her whole dark forest fiasco. Mapleshade is screaming that Frecklewish knew her kids where dying and didn't help, when Frecklewish didn't know what happened and thought they where going to be okay.
Tbh, i would love to have a novella about Shellheart and the relationship he has with his mother/grandmother Reedshine. And possibly as a final answer to Mapleshades story and hear it from someone who has *been* in the time of Mapleshade. We only know how MAPLESHADE was thinking, we never understood how OTHERS reacted to certain things,only what mapleshade thought they felt
Thank you for making these videos!! I’ve been binge watching these; really helpful reference material for map hosts and participants
Thank you soooooo much for doing a video on Mapleshade.
Thank you for making this shes the best
I’m glad you talked about Mapleshade besides the novella.
I know the art is not the best around, but they do have a charm to it that I like. Keep doing the good work in the art and keep studying and practicing, and you’ll be able to look back and feel proud about how far you’ve gotten, even if the improvements are small. I don’t intend to sound rude and I wanna be honest, but try to be encouraging. Your style has a lot of potential.
Mapleshade is my fav warrior cat ever
Hey just popping in to say that YOU ARE AMAZINGGG! 🤗🌸 And Thank you so much for this TOP TIER CONTENT and I hope you have an amazing week ahead! Keep it up!
You have a super nice, calming voice! ^_^
Time for the mapleshade debates
Dispite the controversy she causes around the fandom, everyone can agree, she's a highly driven cat and one you definitely don't want to fight
Why is it that this is much more entertaining to me even though I’m on book 3 and this has major spoilers!
Thank youuuuuuuu
I don't quite understand the whole fading thing since many living cats were aware of her and probably still remember her quite vividly from training in the dark forest
Yeah, it’s not something they’re very clear or consistent on, unfortunately.
Hi! I love your channel and this videos! Could you please do Squirrelflight, Leafpool or Barley? They’re some of my favorite characters. (Especially Squirrelflight)
I love these! Do you think you could do ravenpaw next?
just to say, she *accidentally* killed appledusk, trying to kill reedshine, but appledusk went infront of her
Thanks for mentioning me!
Can you please do a freckle wish life story please I love your videos
Plot twist: blueheart is bluefurs(stars) Long lost sister 😀👍
4:01 that image is from book 3, "Tigerstar and Sasha"
Yep, it’s a good illustration of the stepping-stones, which is what I was talking about at that moment :)
I think oakstar was the villain here. HE banished mapleshade from the clan. And that caused her anger. If oakstar would have forgave her she wouldnt have gone on a killing spree.
Shaplemaid!
MapleShade was my childhood crush ngl
i forgot - but who was the cat that almost saved mapleshade at the barn? (Dont wanna rewatch the video)
Myler
SKULL CHECK
DO YOU HAVE YOURS?
No
No, never.
Can u do half moon from the ancient trib and sky star from sky clan
Can you do goose feather next 😳
Make the story of daisy, pls!
I never got why starckan interfered they didn't interfere with any of half clan kits
I feel so bad for Maple Shade. She was treated so wrongly just for falling in love. Just because they are from a different clan and against warrior code, it's not betraying. Just let Maple Shade feel happiness :(
She betrayed her clanmates by using Birchface's death to her advantage.
@@_The_Lizard_King I know, I still feel bad for her. It's not like she could tell the truth anyways or the same thing would happen.
She was toxic and manipulative
@@piretiris8223not toxic. Just misguided. She genuinely thought that having Appledusk's kits were a good idea. She didn't outwardly deny their parentage, which was her mistake. She genuinely wanted to give her clan warriors they can be proud of.
Scourge please
Her life is like a horror story!
nice video! ;3
Could you do Firestar's life? Thx :3
@MagentaWolfy what? :/
@MagentaWolfy sorry, I dont understand your question
@MagentaWolfy (Probably Quitting) what?-
@MagentaWolfy are you okay-?
@MagentaWolfy This is warrior cats lol- I’m assuming maybe there’s another fictional character called fire star and you mistook them for the orange cat called fire star is warrior cats
to be honest when her kits wailing stoped it (was prob in her head ) but it prob wasn't her kits geting arevenged ot was her kits loseing hope for her
Can you do ashfur and ferncloud?
Idea: the life of bristle frost
(I’m sorry I had to)
Pls do a tigerstar one
You know, I feel bad for maple shade. I would feel betrayed by my mentor if they literally just left their dust on me. Like seriously bro if maple shade snuck out with a riverclan, then it is oak stars or blooms fault because they didn’t teach her properly😡😡
Exactly, no one talks about how she got there in the first place before exiling her. Maybe Oakstar should’ve looked at himself 😂
Frr
can you do Spottedleaf,she is my favorite
can u please
make sandstorms story please
Could you do Firestar's life? pretty please!
I’ve actually started writing his already :) It’s going to take a while though because he’s such a major character.
@@DawnwingWC You got that right! He is one of the main characters in the series after all so I can see it taking some time to write out :)
Can you do crow Feather pls??
AshFur pls
Have you done spotted’leaf ?
Bruh that tail at the start
Yee
Do flame tail or blue star or rave paw
Imagine if Maple shade would be Maple star?! Like that would be the end for the clans
honestly i think she’d more be like another leopardstar. she’d think she was always right but try to do the best for her clan (assuming appledusk didn’t do… all of that)
Life of Jake?
She no tortes shell..she a calico
Can someone tell me if the books in the caption are theise books were mapelshade is inside
Mapleshades whole story is in the novella mapleshades vengeance
@@Cromazone I know but are there any ohter books that mapelshade is in
@@pinkpoIey the last hope, goose feathers curse, crooked stars promise, the ultimate guide, a light in the mist!
@@Cromazone omg I thank you so much :") have a great day/night
Can u do ivypool pls?
Please do Bluestar!

How does eliminating a spirit work in warrior cats.
Basically, spirits can be wounded as well - not within StarClan’s realm itself as far as we know (e.g. when a character is concerned about her StarClan kits jumping around in tree branches they explain that they don’t fall but can basically fly), but if they’re in the Dark Forest or manifesting in the real world (as in the Great Battle) then they can sustain wounds as if alive. If they receive a wound that would have been fatal in life, then their spirit just straight-up vanishes from existence altogether. Another method is that if they’re forgotten by living cats then their spirit just sort of fades away until it’s gone, but the books are pretty inconsistent on how the fading part of it works.
If she got another mate. She wouldn’t be in the Dark Forest.
Also, can you make Tigerstar 1’s life?
Tigerstar 1 is currently second on my list! Firestar will be first.
Can you do Ashfur
what is the app that is used for 'my oc's and their last words' videos can you please tell me asap (i'm new)
Those aren’t mine, but I saw one the other day where they’d recorded their characters in the “Warrior Cats: Ultimate Edition” game inside Roblox.
I should try make my own clan? With my best friend start big fan with this
I did change my name to mapdeshade I thought better name for me and with chosson to take an name
Or her
When I was younger I thought wiith chossen to read I I remember this story I was litte
And try fully shape-shifting
I don't understand this fully lol
How is Frecklewish in the dark forest?
Well according to the warriors Wiki she's in the dark forest, I don't think it was even confirmed by the authors
He has broken the code "always help a kit in danger, even if it's from a different clan"
maple shade:if i were a killer my claws would shine a shiney RED RED RED RED RED RED RED RED RED RED
the song actually fits her-
I never found out if Ashfur came from SC or TC since there was 1 Ashfur in SC and 1 Ashfur in TC but I think it was the Ashfur from TC since I herd she/he killed leafpool/Squirrelflights kits
Thunderclan, he was born in into the wild, the one is sc is old and not related to arson ashfur
How about the life of Ravenpaw
Tbh I haven't read the book so I might be wrong she should just told them that oak star and frecklewish wanted to believed that it was frecklewish brother kits or mapleshade should of just say the father said he doesn't want to be a dad.
I haven't either but listened to an audio book,
Before mapleshade had her kits frecklewish asked if Birchface was the father. Mapleshade didn't answer her and frecklewish takes this as a yes and settles down next to mapleshade. Mapleshade does seemed to feel a little guilty for this but thinks to herself that it was fine because she didn't lie out loud and goes on to use frecklewish for a good whole because her friendship would go a long way and something like that. She failed to correct frecklewish and let the whole clan believe birchface was their father when he was not and believed that her kits will be accepted whenever she decided to reveal her kits father.
I have no clue how she thought thst was gonna work for her.
@@orchidoxs126 ah I see
Do you think we'll see Mapleshade in A Starless Clan?
I wouldn’t be surprised if we do, after her appearance in The Broken Code where she was noted as being one of the Dark Forest survivors!
Do squirrelflight
Honestly, when OakStar said to ask who the kit's father was, why did she tell the truth, and not say AppleDusk? She could of said BirchFace! Also, why did OakStar ask? She said her kit's father was BirchFace. The deputy must have told him the father!
Mapleshade is not a killer kit
Bluehearts name is not blueheart it is bluefur
The cat I mentioned toward the start there is Bloomheart, Mapleshade’s mentor. ;)
i dont like reading books and this is great
People literally make her grumpy and tired as Yellowfang 🙄 I imagine her a slender she cat, tortoiseshell one ofc,I don't know why people draw her like that mostly-
But thanks for explaining her life,it was interesting!
Because shes a dead cat in heck
i mean she is a pretty huge kitty? she's described as being pretty big and it's used 2 justify how she took down her victims (i think I'm rusty on her book), yellowfang is the more slender one as she was described as pretty skinny and kind of boney
but ehhhh that's just canon rlly every headcanon is valid ! she's def not grumpy tho. vengeful and awful sure but she's thriving at some point 😭
The reason fans tend to draw her as a large cat is because one of the authors, Vicky, once described her as “big, tending to fat”. Her descriptions in the books - thick fur (especially around her neck), broad muzzle and face, scarred, matted fur - also put to mind a large cat physically similar to Yellowfang. They do certainly have different personalities, though!
Poor maple shade she just wanted to be loved how did she get in the dark forest ofc she killed her mate but still he blamed her for her kits deaths why should she kill her own kits she loved them and that why he is dead now she is layble as a villain because she loved her kits and killed her mate who else agree with me team maple shade
She didn't seem to love anyone. She saw everyone around her as objects, including her kits and mate. She killed three innocent cats, attempted to kill a pregnant she-cat, and nearly killed an apprentice. That's why she's in the df.
She didn’t kill them, but she’s the reason her kits are dead.
I don't feel bad about appledusks death
He literally did nothing wrong, but okay.
@@_The_Lizard_Kinghe was a coward he is basically crowfeather copy
@@Blackstarrawz A 'coward' who died, saving his mate.
He also risked his life, getting Mapleshade out of a flash flood. But yea, he's a coward.
Also, he's nothing like Crowfeather, lmao. Crowfeather was distant towards his mate and kits. Appledusk loved his kits, and he loved his mate.
@@_The_Lizard_King Appledusk was a bitch towards Mapleshade, he could have least defended her while she literally had nowhere else to go, her kits died atheist have some syntony for a grieving queen? and yes cheating on the mate from a different can without telling her or breaking up, def a great idea, right? basally using Reedshine to use so he can get his loyalty back in the clan?
@@Blackstarrawz Mapleshade got their kits killed. She knew it wasn't safe to cross the river with kits. She knew it was storming when she crossed. And one of the kits literally said they were too tired to swim.
Why would you defend someone who literally got your children killed?
Appledusk got with Reedshine after breaking up with Mapleshade, lol. If he cheated, why were there no romantic interactions between him and Reedshine until *after* he left Mapleshade? Reedshine would have been way further along with the pregnancy, as well. But at the end of the book, she wasn't even showing.
He moved on too quickly, sure. But that could have been a coping mechanism. Lots of people actually use things like that as coping mechanisms, by the way.
He didn't use Reedshine. He genuinely loved her. He loved her enough to literally die protecting her.
I recommend you read the book. :)
Mapleshade deserves better.
So does Ravenwing and Appledusk.
@@_The_Lizard_King agreed.
@@_The_Lizard_King tottaly agree! but at the same time i feel frecklewish didnt deserve death, but still punishment
I don't think any of Mapleshade's victims deserved any punishment tbh
I agree with mapleshade deserves better
Scourge please
