Spottedleaf

Spottedleaf is a dark tortoiseshell-and-white she-cat with amber eyes.
Spottedleaf was a medicine cat under Bluestar's leadership in the forest territories. She was born as Spottedkit to Adderfang and Swiftbreeze alongside her littermates, Redkit and Willowkit. Initially, Spottedpaw was apprenticed to Thrushpelt; however, she decided to become a medicine cat with Featherwhisker as her new mentor. After earning her medicine cat name, Spottedleaf received a prophecy from StarClan that referred to the newcomer, Firepaw. The two felt something for each other, but they never revealed their true feelings as Spottedleaf was killed by Clawface, a ShadowClan warrior. She ascended to StarClan and particularly appeared in Fireheart's dreams. She then gave Fireheart a life for love and helped him while he rebuilt SkyClan, while also giving Leafstar one of her nine lives. During the Great Battle, Spottedleaf was killed by Mapleshade while protecting Sandstorm, fading away forever, which devastated Firestar.
==History==
===The Prophecies Begin===
:Spottedleaf is the sole ThunderClan medicine cat, who, after a failed battle with RiverClan, receives a prophecy, "Fire alone can save our Clan." When the subject of this prophecy, Firepaw, first joins ThunderClan, Spottedleaf is friendly with him. The young tom develops feelings for her and visits her whenever he can. However, when Clawface raids ThunderClan's camp to steal Frostfur's kits, Spottedleaf attempts to stop him, but is tragically killed, breaking Firepaw's heart. Despite her death, Spottedleaf appears often in Firepaw, now Fireheart's dreams, delivering warnings and prophecies. When Fireheart journeys to the Moonstone to become Firestar, Spottedleaf appears among the cats who give him a life, granting Firestar a life for love. Firestar realizes that he can have no future with Spottedleaf and then decides to have Sandstorm as his mate.
===The New Prophecy===
:Spottedleaf continues to visit ThunderClan cats in their dreams, particularly Firestar's daughter, Leafpaw. When Leafpaw and other Clan cats are trapped by worker Twolegs, Spottedleaf appears in the dreams of Firestar's other daughter, Squirrelpaw to lead her to them. When the Clans complete the Great Journey, Spottedleaf leads Leafpaw to the Moonpool, earning the young medicine cat apprentice's full name, Leafpool. When Leafpool feels conflicted over her feelings for the WindClan warrior, Crowfeather, she seeks Spottedleaf's advice. Spottedleaf insists that she must follow her heart, and Leafpool decides to leave the Clans with Crowfeather.
===Power of Three===
:Spottedleaf begins speaking with Firestar's grandson, Jaypaw. When Jaypaw wanders into the Dark Forest, Spottedleaf defends him from Tigerstar and Hawkfrost, but insists to Jaypaw's dismay that he must become a medicine cat. In StarClan, she deliberates, along with Bluestar and Yellowfang, about the nature of the Kin of your Kin prophecy and what StarClan's role in it should be, if they should meddle at all. When the truth is revealed about Jayfeather and his littermates' parents, Jayfeather seeks out Spottedleaf accusingly, but the dead medicine cat affirms that StarClan cats do not know everything.
===Omen of the Stars===
:Spottedleaf grows increasingly concerned about the prophecy after Hollyleaf is revealed to have not been the Third cat. She accompanies Jayfeather and Yellowfang into the Dark Forest after it is suspected that the Dark Forest cats are training Clan cats. During the battle against the Dark Forest, Spottedleaf saves Sandstorm from being killed by Mapleshade, but her own spirit is killed, and Firestar is grief-stricken yet again before dying.
===Super Editions===
:In Bluestar's Prophecy, Spottedkit is born to Adderfang and Swiftbreeze. She initially becomes Thrushpelt's apprentice despite wanting to be a medicine cat. However, once Goosefeather retires, she is apprenticed to Featherwhisker. When Bluefur gives birth, Spottedpaw assists Featherwhisker with the kitting. She becomes the sole medicine cat of ThunderClan after Featherwhisker dies of greencough.
:In Firestar's Quest, Spottedleaf teaches Firestar all she knows about SkyClan. She later appears to give burdock root to Firestar and Sandstorm after a battle with rats. Spottedleaf appears when Firestar accidentally reveals to Sandstorm about his previous visit by Spottedleaf, which makes Sandstorm uncomfortable and hurt. She comforts Sandstorm, saying that she and Firestar could never have been mates, and before she leaves, she whispers to Firestar's ear, wishing things could have been different. At Leafstar's leadership ceremony, Spottedleaf gives her a life for healing wounds caused by words and rivalry.
===Novellas===
:In Spottedleaf's Heart, Spottedkit wants to become a warrior along with her littermates. As an apprentice, Thistleclaw takes advantage of her trust, and the two become close. Spottedpaw thinks that they can become mates once she becomes a warrior. However, she finds out that Thistleclaw was manipulating her to join him in training in the Dark Forest. Spottedpaw is horrified and decides to become a medicine cat so that Thistleclaw can no longer pursue her.
