Leafstar

Leafstar is a brown-and-cream tabby she-cat with amber eyes.

Firestar's Quest

 * Firestar first met Leafstar, who was still Leaf at that time, when he was trying to get familiar with the gorge territory and accidentally bumped into her. Leaf was startled and infuriated by this encounter, and snapped at Firestar to keep away from her.


 * However, she was confronted by Firestar and Scratch (Sharpclaw) to attend the meeting to rebuild SkyClan, and she agrees to join. Almost immediately she was given her warrior name, Leafdapple, and was also given Sparrowpaw (Boris) to mentor. Throughout the story, she showed the best understanding of the warrior code and the meaning of Clan life.


 * The medicine cat, Echosong, soon got a message from the ancestors that Leafdapple was to be the leader of SkyClan. She was shown a vision of leaves dappling the ground. Leafdapple objected that Sharpclaw should be made leader, but Firestar pointed out her sensitivity to the important aspects of Clan life. He told her to trust her warrior ancestors, to which she replied, "No, I trust you," and she accepted her position. She received her nine lives not long after that, and became Leafstar.


 * As a leader, she made Sharpclaw her deputy, held the warrior ceremonies of Cherrypaw and Sparrowpaw, and apprentice ceremonies of Bouncekit, Rockkit, and Tinykit, choosing the new warriors Cherrytail and Sparrowpelt as mentors. She thanked Firestar and Sandstorm, and promised them that their names will be remembered in SkyClan forever. She also confirmed Echosong as her medicine cat. As Firestar and Sandstorm leave, they see her leading a patrol.


 * Sandstorm names one of her kits Leafkit in honor of Leafstar (and perhaps of Spottedleaf too).

Cats of the Clans

 * Rock says that Leafdapple was a rogue with the SkyClan trait of having strong back legs for jumping into trees, which was why Firestar chose her to be one of the cats in the new SkyClan. She also was wise enough to know that cats without her bloodline would need to be welcomed into the Clan to swell their ranks, and she had to be strong enough to win their respect.
