I like some pretty controversial characters, so I'm interested to see if anybody has any characters they will defend no matter what anybody else says. For me those characters are Crowfeather, Appledusk, Frecklewish, and Reedshine in particular. Hot takes are encouraged. Here's mine:
I've always been confused for why people hate Reedshine with such a passion when she has always been one of the more innocent characters in Mapleshade's Vengance. Hell, I'd go so far as to say that she didn't do anything wrong at all. For the people saying that Reedshine was "rude" to Mapleshade... I don't really think anybody would take too kindly to finding out the father of your children has been illegally cheating on you with a cat from another clan. Hell, Mapleshade herself took to trying to murder Reedshine and her unborn babies because she was jealous. But Reedshine getting all the shit for being slightly rude to someone who just accidentally drowned their children and dated her husband behind her back is suddenly "bitchy, whiny, and spoiled?" Cats in Warriors are pregnant for two months before they give birth. Considering the fact that Mapleshade's Vengeance only takes place during a ~1 month time period, it is safe to say that Reedshine was very pregnant by the time it was revealed to RiverClan that Appledusk secretly had an affair with Mapleshade (nevermind the fact that Appledusk ALSO cheated on Reedshine. She is a victim of him as well, but she chose to forgive him and be the bigger person whereas Mapleshade took to murder. These two parallel eachother to SHOW that Mapleshade had no excuse to go on a murderous rampage, especially when Reedshine was also used by Appledusk. Reedshine did nothing wrong when you actually stop and look at the whole picture). The idea that Reedshine should have dumped Appledusk, the father of her children, to defend someone from the enemy clan who irresponsibly forced her children to cross a raging river (resulting in their deaths) is just nonsensical. If she HAD turned her back to Appledusk, the clan would've shunned him as well as his and Reedshine's children. We already know that the clans have a tendency to ostracize children for their parents' actions (e.g. Mapleshade's kits, Tawnypelt, Brambleclaw, etc.) so Reedshine coming to his defense not only prevented the father of her children from being exiled, but it also likely prevented her children from being blamed for Appledusk's disloyalty. It baffles me why people demonize Reedshine so much when she took the best, most mature course of action if you actually look at the situation logically. Why people label her as a "whiny bitch" after she was nearly murdered by Mapleshade (someone who blamed Reedshine for things she did not do) and watched her husband die in front of her is just disgusting. Reedshine is now one of my favorite Warriors characters out of spite for how much unjust hate she receives, especially when the men in Mapleshade's Vengeance did so much worse than her.
