"Destiny isn't a path that any cat follows blindly. It is always a matter of choice, and sometimes the heart speaks loudest. Deep down, I always knew what I had to do, and that's why I came back to the Clan. Whatever else happens, I trust you to know the right thing to do as well. Listen to your heart, Lionblaze, because that's where your true destiny lies." |
— Leafpool advising Lionblaze in Sign of the Moon, page 108 |
Leafpool is a small,[29] lithe,[30] pale[29] brown tabby she-cat[11] with amber eyes.[31] She has a white chest and paws.[32]
Leafpool was a ThunderClan medicine cat who served under Firestar's, Bramblestar's, Rowanstar's, and Leafstar's leaderships in the lake territories. She was born as Leafkit to Firestar and Sandstorm alongside her sister, Squirrelkit, and was apprenticed as a medicine cat apprentice to Cinderpelt as Leafpaw. Following the Great Journey, Leafpaw discovered the Moonpool and earned her full medicine cat name, Leafpool. Soon after, she fell in love with Crowfeather, a WindClan warrior, and broke the warrior code to run away with him. However, after meeting Midnight, Leafpool and Crowfeather returned to Clans and assisted in the battle against the badgers that resulted in Cinderpelt's death.
Unbeknownst to the Clan, Leafpool gave birth to Crowfeather's kits, Lionblaze, Jayfeather, and Hollyleaf, who were raised by Brambleclaw and Squirrelflight to protect her, though Squirrelflight was the one who knew the truth. She initially mentored Hollypaw; however, Jaypaw became her apprentice after switching roles. After the secret was revealed by Hollyleaf, Leafpool stepped down from her position and became a warrior. After her kits forgave her, Leafpool returned as a medicine cat to assist during the Great Battle. Eventually, she mentored Puddleshine in ShadowClan and stayed in SkyClan when they had no medicine cat. Following the battle against the Sisters, Leafpool was gravely injured in a rockslide, and after her StarClan trial, she remained in StarClan, reuniting with her kin.

- ―Leafpool to Crowfeather Twilight
- She takes part on the Great Journey and, guided by Spottedleaf, discovers the Moonpool by the lake, earning her full name, Leafpool. Leafpool and Crowfeather fall in love and decide to flee the Clans to be together. After one night, they meet a badger, Midnight, who tells them that her kin is planning to attack ThunderClan. Leafpool realizes that she cannot abandon her Clan and her medicine cat duties, deciding to go back. Crowfeather is heartbroken by her decision to leave him and takes her home. Cinderpelt dies in the attack, and Leafpool pledges her loyalty to being a medicine cat.
Power of Three
- "I know I cannot be ThunderClan's medicine cat any longer. I'm so very sorry to you, Firestar, and to all my Clanmates. Please know that I tried my best, and regretted what I had done with every single breath. But I couldn't regret having my kits. They are fine cats, and I will always be proud of them."
- ―Leafpool's confession at the Gathering Sunrise

- ―Jayfeather to Leafpool The Last Hope

- "I don't regret having my kits. Only that I lied about being their mother. I wish I'd had more courage, but I thought I was doing the best for everyone by choosing to remain a medicine cat. [...] But please don't turn Squirrelflight away. Everything she did was out of loyalty for me. I couldn't wish to have a better sister. [...] If some cat must be punished for what we did, punish me, not her."
- ―Leafpool to the StarClan cats during her trial Squirrelflight's Hope
- In Crowfeather's Trial, Leafpool is asked to go to WindClan to tend to some of their wounded cats. She goes alongside Crowfeather, and she gives advice to Crowfeather about his relationship with Nightcloud, but realizes that that same advice could apply to their relationship. While tending to Crowfeather's wounds, she gets him to open up to her about his relationship with Breezepelt and Nightcloud, including his struggles to love Breezepelt. Leafpool gives him advice about how he should love all of his kits, including Lionblaze and Jayfeather.
- In Squirrelflight's Hope, Leafpool comforts her sister after she argues with Bramblestar. After several of her Clanmates fall ill to a mysterious sickness, Leafpool travels with Squirrelflight to the Sisters who reveal a cure. She and Squirrelflight share a dream of wounded kits and rush to aid Moonlight as she struggles to give birth. Leafpool leads Moonlight and her newborn kits to hide in a cave while the Clans attack the Sisters. Leafpool and Squirrelflight are fatally injured when the cave collapses, and during her trial to be accepted into StarClan, Leafpool reveals she doesn't regret breaking the code to have her kits. Despite Jayfeather and Alderheart's efforts to heal her, Leafpool dies but happily remains in StarClan while Squirrelflight returns to ThunderClan.
