Moth Flight - Leafpool - Mapleshade

im feral about them. rambling under cut bc i have so many thoughts

i always see moth flight + leafpool and leafpool + mapleshade, but im shocked to not see moth flight + mapleshade more, and of course all 3 together

they have similar situations, and particularly mapleshade and moth flight have. eerily similar traits? prideful, easily jealous, and have strong faith in starclan.

all three lost their kits, whether willingly or not, they were not their to mother their kits. and i imagine neither moth flight nor mapleshade would like that leafpool got it “easy”, both would definitely be in the “leafpool didnt suffer enough actually” camp.

for moth flight she doesnt like seeing others happy when she couldnt, leafpool barely gave up her children, why is she allowed to be content when moth flight didnt even get to see her children constantly?

while mapleshade didnt even get to take care of her children since their lives were taken from her. leafpool basically had it perfect in maples eyes bc at least leafpool lived with her children. (unrelated but my ideal scenario in the last hope, that instead of attacking sandstorm and killing spottedleaf, itd be with leafpool and hollyleaf. i think itd be much more impactful to 1) see maple and leaf interact, and 2) have hollyleaf die for leafpool since she tried to kill her, itd come full circle)

theyre both envious and prideful, both take that anger and jealousy out on others in death (and life for mapleshade), with moth flight attempting to send anyone who breaks her rule to hell and mapleshade attempting to kill or at the very least physically harm those who got what she wanted but didnt get. but leafpool, whos children openly expressed their disdain for her (albeit not for too long), doesnt take out those negative emotions out on others, she doesnt blame squirrelflight for saying that her and bramble werent their real parents, she doesnt blame her children for being mad at her, and i cant imagine that moth flight or mapleshade would do the same. shes still kind regardless

idk. this isnt nearly as coherent as it is in my head but Oh Well
