The Fall of Mapleclaw. [Plot]

So I was thinking that Mapleclaw starts to act a little unsure of her Clan, feeling like Froststar isn't doing her best as leader of RiverClan. She starts to think that she would be a better leader, and after running into Eaglepaw* which they talk about power or something like that, she starts to believe that she should be leader. Mapleclaw starts to act a little out of place, snapping at cats more easily and being far more commanding as she starts to come up with a plan to gain the name Maplestar.

At some point she attacks a cat (most likely one of her Clan mates) that she feels is threatening her plans to become leader. Of course, the cat is most likely going to be older than her so she gets beaten into the ground. But if somehow she isn't exiled by this, she starts to grow more and more threatening to cats on the border and may even get into a fight with one or two with them.

Finally, at some point I see her getting exiled or something (if she hadn't gotten exiled by fighting one of her Clanmates and attempting to kill them, which I wonder how she wouldn't be) and thus leaves RiverClan territory. She grows resentful of her Clanmates, still thinking that she should be the leader of RiverClan and will attack either the current deputy or leader and will most likely die in this fight. Due to her greed and causing pain only to get herself farther in the Clan ranking system, she finds herself in the Dark Forest.

And...yea, that is my plot for Mapleclaw. I tried to find a way that doesn't involve her doing something that is unlike her and she has some clear things that push her; her thoughts of the Clan not being as strong as it could and whatever Eaglepaw* says to her. Of course, I have a feeling it may be a little shaky so I am open for suggestions and ideas. 

Oh, and I also have no idea when this may start. The basic idea of it may start fairly soon, but the whole attacking others most likely won't start until after her currently apprentice; Icepaw, has gotten her warrior name so I don't want to worry about leaving somebody untrained.

(* Up to Sarrow if she wants this to happen)

Her influence to do all this may also come from the Dark Forest or some other cat(s) at a gathering talking about how they think Froststar is getting weaker or something along those lines. Just a suggestion.

I really like this, though I'm wary about the inclusion of the Dark Forest.

I also volunteer to beat Mapleclaw up when she gets all aggressive. *shot*

Typing this from my phone, btw, so sorry for any typos.

I do like your idea, Ice, but just not the Dark Forest part. I dislike when people have their cats get training and such in the Dark Forest, mostly because I think the Dark Forest would only get cats that they know will be able to help them and won't stray, instead of training any old cat who could become evil. But, I do like the hearing other cats calling Froststar weak which she starts to believe that it might be true.

And thank you for volunteering to beat me into a pulp when the time calls for it, Sleepy. And Mapleclaw getting power...Hm, I have no idea how far I let her go, because while it would be fun to make her leader, it would take forever and I want to move onto my next life Badgerpelt as soon as I am able. Also, I have no idea when the next slot of power will open up in RiverClan...But, eh, we will see.

You're welcome? I only said the Dark Forest part because I was trying to give multiple suggestions x)

@Ice Oh...Well, that was just mainly me ranting...Anywho~

Now that my apprentice has been banned, I guess I am free to start this plot whenever. While I am still not sure how far this plot is going to go, I can worry about that when it starts. Of course, I still need to know if Sarrow is up for Eaglepaw being the one who kinda convinces her to start her 'quest' to become leader of RiverClan...

I really do like this plot. And, I'm fine with Eaglepaw starting her "quest" to power. It helps both our plots move along, plus I need to do some more roleplaying around here.

I was thinking that we could tie some of these plots together, if the other people running their plots would agree.

SagexFrost, Mapleface's Finnick Odair business, Eaglepaw's/Mapleclaw's quest for power, Lightpaw's exile, Icestream's/Crowclaw's training, and also some other idea I had that I'm still working on. ;-;

I mean, all of these plots are working perfectly fine on their own, it's just that they could easily be tied together, and it'd make the stakes seem a lot higher and get more people from more Clans invested in all of it. x3 I don't know, my brain isn't working ;A;

That's actually a pretty good idea, Sleepy. I like it~

Umm so Lightpaw is getting exiled by supporting Maple, right? I got confused.

If you and Badge agree to that. I didn't know anything was cemented, I was just going off of Sunny's suggestion in your topic. cx

so, is it ok Badge?

How about Mapleclaw and Eaglepaw find out about the whole SagexFrost thing somehow and that's what causes them to begin doubting their leader since she broke the code? You could tie those two together.

I'm also thinking that maybe it's possible to tie Mapleface and Crowclaw's plots together. I just haven't really put much thought into it. There, I gave two suggestions. I am a supporter of America.

My rogue is happy to help Mapleclaw gain power if she gets something out of it. And FrostxSage would have to be found out eventually, I suppose...
