Mapleface
She/Her

Well... She'd tried the best she could. And yet still Mapleface felt unimaginable guilt. At the same time, she couldn't help but be immensely glad that none of her four kits had been born with disabilities. Even if two of them had disappeared. Call her selfish for thinking that way, but Mapleface couldn't help her own feelings, no matter how brutal they were. She would not be able to sit back at all if it were her kit getting exiled. That... made her wonder where Blazepaw's parents were. Surely they'd be heartbroken to see him leaving? Unless the lad didn't have parents? She didn't know.

"Okay." She said finally to Bumblestar, feeling properly chastesized. Then again, she'd do it all over again if she had to. She turned to Sharpclaw and Blazepaw, setting her jaw. "Ready whenever you are." She told the young warrior. Mapleface wasn't going to try and take command of the patrol, she didn't care to be in a position of power or to get her pay-back for how rudely he'd talked to her earlier. In fact, Mapleface had barely taken offense. Youngsters would be youngsters, she knew how to deal with them, especially since she had to deal with Cracklepaw on a daily basis.

She did stiffen, however, when Sharpclaw called Blazepaw a brat. "Don't you go talking about your Clanmates like that, whether they're leaving or not." Mapleface scolded sternly. not caring if her words fell on deaf ear (no pun intended).
