WARNING PERSONAL OPINIONS AHEAD
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

Now, I never read Mapleshade vengeance, but can I say, I like her.
What I don't like, is that she needs a reason to be a villain.

Why can't the ONLY female villain in warriors just... want to be bad?
I never saw Brokenstar as a victim, but apparently he is? He was abused by his step mom, but in Yellowfang's secret, it didn't show that? (At least from what I recall)

So why does Mapleshade need a horrid backstory?

I like to think that she killed because that's what she thought was right. Not because of what her Kits thought, but because of what she thought. If anything, hallucinated her Kits telling her to kill them due to her grief, and depression.

If her kits DID come and visit her, it was to try to stop her from killing. And one by one, as she killed more cats, the kits gave up on trying to save their mother. That it was no use. That Mapleshade chose this path of her own free will. Because it's what she believed.

I don't think Maple should be viewed as like, a good or confused character.
She made a conscious decision to murder, and she got what she asked for.
Sure, her backstory is bad, but her whole character doesn't need to revolve around that.

Let her be evil for evil sake. She doesn't NEED a reason.

In my mind, she never did.
She let her hate and need to be equal get the best of her, which lead her to kill.
Not in hopes of redemption, or saving her Kits souls.
For her. A personal hit list.

Don't make it out and seem like she did nothing wrong, or that she had a reason to kill. Let her be a killer for fun. Let her kill because she wants too. She doesn't need a sob story to be a good villain.

Don't get me wrong, I like her.
But I wish she was a villain because she wanted to be, and not because she was hurt I guess.

Idk if this is what you wanted Swift, but that's all I thought about XD
