Yarrowleaf/Main article

Yarrowleaf is a ginger she-cat with yellow eyes.

She is born to Scorchfur and Snowbird of ShadowClan, along with her siblings, Bluebellkit and Beepaw. She later becomes an apprentice called Yarrowpaw and her mentor is Spikefur. Yarrowpaw is briefly introduced to Alderpaw, as a rebellious apprentice, and is later shown not to believe in StarClan.

When her fellow apprentice Needlepaw instigates a rebellion against Rowanstar, she agrees with her friend, but ultimately stays behind with Strikepaw to be with their families, where she completes her warrior training and becomes Yarrowleaf, alongside Strikestone. However, many cats question why two out of the six apprentices ShadowClan had became warriors. When Darktail comes about and forces Rowanstar, Tigerheart and Tawnypelt out of ShadowClan, she joins the Kin and becomes a rogue. After Darktail is killed by Onestar, she chooses to run away with Spikefur and Sleekwhisker with the remains of the Kin, rather than rejoin Rowanstar.

She and Sleekwhisker later return to the Clans, where it is revealed that Yarrowleaf has fallen pregnant with the kits of Nettle, a former Kin member, and wishes to rejoin ShadowClan with Sleekwhisker, claiming to regret following Darktail. However, ShadowClan has been annexed into SkyClan, and Leafstar refuses Sleekwhisker or Yarrowleaf entry on account of their past crimes. Snowbird and Scorchfur openly despise Leafstar for her choice. However, Juniperclaw, Whorlpaw, Scorchfur, Snowbird, and Strikestone harbor Yarrowleaf in ShadowClan's old camp, and upon being discovered, Leafstar reluctantly lets the two she-cats join, where Yarrowleaf gives birth to Flaxkit and Hopkit.

In a twist of events, Sleekwhisker betrays her friends and family and drugs Yarrowleaf with poppy seeds, kidnapping Flaxkit and Hopkit to use them as a bargaining chip against Rowanclaw. Yarrowleaf is frantic and worried for her kits' safety, but is horrified when Nettle, who teamed up with Sleekwhisker alongside Raven, Jacques and Susan to take "revenge" on Rowanclaw, demands their kits be given to him. Yarrowleaf refuses, which instigates a battle, which kills Rowanclaw and Nettle. She, along with the former ShadowClan cats, rejoin ShadowClan when Tigerstar is resurrected, and she is reunited with her older sisters, Berryheart and Cloverfoot.
