Ashfur did some epic shit as a villain, I'll give him that, but him using the code to tear down the clans... honestly the plotline feels wasted on him.
Mapleshade though... she's one of the biggest victims of the Warrior Code apart from her own children. Yes, she should've known better & she was stupid, but no code breaker suffered for a half-Clan affair as much as she did, in fact, the rest of them pretty much got away with it.
Bluestar -> Became Leader
Oakheart -> Became Deputy
Graystripe -> Became Deputy
Leafpool -> Got to keep her job as Medicine Cat & had prophecy kits
Crowfeather -> Became Deputy
Tigerheartstar -> Became Leader
Dovewing -> Moved to SC with no consequence
It would make her going out of her way to make codebreakers suffer more impactful than Ashfur, because in her head she'd be thinking "If I had to suffer for breaking the code, so will they"
Now why would she possess Bramblestar?
Bramblestar is the descendant of Oakstar
Bramblestar is TC's leader & she hates TC most of all
Shadowsight is also a descendant of Oakstar. Sending him "Omens" that get others killed would be something she wants. He can be the little scapegoat, he can be another Ravenwing, but one that she has control over.
I think in a world where this happened instead of Ashfur though, Riverclan would also obviously be more involved. Mistystar & Reedwhisker are Appledusk's descendants and Mothwing is another descendant of Oakstar.
