Honeyleaf

Honeyleaf is a ginger tabby she-cat with green eyes.

SkyClan's Destiny

 * Honeyleaf is the last deputy of ancient SkyClan.


 * In the prologue, when Swallowflight challenges the decision to fight with the rats, she glares at him and claims that they have to fight, because SkyClan still has its pride. Frostclaw shakily asks what they could have pride in, as they cannot feed themselves, and there have been no kits born in moons. Honeyleaf bursts out that SkyClan can't be coming to an end, and that she's worked her paws off to be the best deputy she can be, and has never been afraid to fight. Spiderstar says that she would be the best deputy a cat could wish for, and that she would have led her Clan with the same honor and courage. She angrily asks what he means by would have, showing her ambition and pride in her position, but Nightfur cuts her off again. Honeyleaf wanted to lead her Clan like every deputy.


 * Honeyleaf is alarmed when Frostclaw admits she's been taking food from Twolegs. She stalks among the cats, and it is noted that there is an icy glare in her green eyes. She demands to know why they would want to be kittypets, and insists that SkyClan warriors would never do that. Swallowflight agrees with her by saying he'd rather die than go crawling to Twolegs for food.


 * When cats start leaving to become kittypets, Honeyleaf is horrified, and she says she'd never thought she'd hear a SkyClan warrior reject the warrior code by saying it's just words that can't feed or shelter them. She slides out her claws and it almost seems as though she would attack the gray she-cat who had spoken; instead, she turns her back. She insists that she would never turn into a mewling kittypet, and decides that she will go up the gorge where there might be better hunting, and Swallowflight goes with her. She is shown to be extremely angry and does not wish Spiderstar or any of her former clanmates good luck as she leaves. Brackenheart gives her some traveling herbs, and she leaves without saying a word with Swallowflight. Spiderstar watches their dark outlines slip up the trail and vanish into the oncoming darkness as they leave.
