over the last several months, i've slowly been rereading dotc. i'll basically pick up a book, finish it, and then not read the next one for months. anyways, i'm currently half way through the first battle, and time and time again i've noticed how gray wing is so hesitant to acknowledge clear sky's behavior. every time he does something bad, gray wing is like, "whaaaat. how can that be?! that doesn't sound like my brother. i'm sure this is just one big misunderstanding. clear sky wouldn't do that. he's my brother. my brother isn't like that. why does everyone think clear sky is such a monster?!"
like i love you gray wing, but come on. this is the third book. by now you should know that clear sky is like this after everything he's done so far (terrorize the forest for more and more territory, exile the weak, murder misty and wanting to murder her kits as well, driving storm to her death with his controlling behavior, and the list goes on).
another example is needletail. violetshine and alderheart completely ignored everything bad needletail ever did just because they like her. i feel like pretty much everyone had forgotten what she did and that makes me angry.
i also think bramblestar did this with hawkfrost back during tnp, but i can't really remember?
but anyways this kind of gets on my nerves. i know it's realistic, and that for some people it can be hard to acknowledge that your loved one isn't who you thought they were, but i just wish that characters would acknowledge when their friends or family act up instead of making up excuses for them or being in complete denial all together.
