Leafstar/Main article

Leafstar is a mottled pale cream-and-brown tabby she-cat with amber eyes, cream patches, and a long, brown tail. She has a scar on her chest between her forelegs.

Leafstar is the current leader of SkyClan. Leaf was first seen as a rogue who joined the newly revived Clan. She was given her warrior name Leafdapple, and an apprentice, Sparrowpaw. After defeating the rats, she became SkyClan's new leader with some reluctance, receiving the new name Leafstar, and made Sharpclaw her deputy.

Leafstar lost her first life helping Stick, Cora, Coal, and Shorty defeat Dodge. She became mates with a daylight warrior named Billystorm, and had three kits named Firekit, Stormkit, and Harrykit. She and her kits were captured by a Twoleg and met a kittypet named Harry, who joined SkyClan, but Leafstar later exiled him after his true intentions were discovered. Darktail and his group drove SkyClan out and Leafstar led them to the lake territories, where, after some conflict, SkyClan settled and now reside with the other four Clans.
