Aqualight shares their opinions on Spottedleaf
Hi i’m Aqualight, and this is my first article, so bear with me. And yes, I know I know I know! This article has been done *hundreds* of times. But this time I think maaaaaaybe I don’t like Spottedleaf for a different reason than some other opinions.
OK lets get started
Ahem attention, SPOILERS FOR FIRESTARS QUEST AND POSSIBLEY BOOKS FROM WARRIORS THE FIRST ARC SO MOVE ON IF THAT DOES NOT APPEAL TO YOU (though to be honest i dont hoooow it doesnt appeal to you, spoiler are great! but enough stalling, get ready for some seroius spelling mistakes)
Alright, so you know (if you don’t know, i’m not sure how to get over the level of akwardness that would follow after me saying, you know, and really, you do not know)
you know in Firestars Quest how Firestar and Sandstorm go on a mission to find and maybe bring Skyclan back to the forest or help become a clan become a clan or something, to be honest it’s been way to long since I read the book, so a lot of what I say about the book will proabbaly be incorrect. So Firestar and Sandstorm go to the valley or whatever where a Skyclan ex-member cat dude was and all that. Well theres this part of the book, where i’m pretty sure it goes like, Firestars in what would be the medicine cat cave in the valley, and then a vision or ghost of Spottedleaf comes to him. Now I get it she is a bit of a stalker, but honestly I don’t hold that against her, Firestar’s a very important cat and she was still hung up over him. So in comes the vision or ghost of Spottedleaf and they talk prophecy talk, and they talk helping Skyclan talk, usaul medicine cat to clan leader talk. But, BUt, BUUUUT, then Spottedleaf says the most annoying thing EVER. I’m not sure of the exact words, but it goes something like,
Spottedleaf: “Oh Firestar, I’m so happy you and Sandstorm are good mates, she’s perfect for you really”
And Firestars slightly uncomfy says : “Oh yeah I love Sandstorm she’s great”
Then Spottedleaf: ” Mhm if it had been anyone for you other than me it would be Sandstorm. Really Firestar, I can’t help wonder what would have happened between you and me if I had been alive, We could have been so happy together”
This isnt really exactly how the exchange went but it’s close enough. So then aaaaall throuout the rest of the story Firestar and Sandstorm have romantic tension, and it is honeslty STRESSFUL!!! Because Firestars acting all like oh yeah I love you but i’m having dreams about some dead ex- not really mate but childhood crush that I knew for like 3 weeks and had around 4 conversations with that probably would never have worked out because she was a medicine cat. HONESTLY REALLY FIRESTAR, really???
So to be honest I got that Spottedleaf was slightly annoying beofre, I didnt put much thought into to it, she was a Mary-sue
yesssss
First comment? (Maybe) also, did it get cut off?
Great article! Though, I’m afraid I must speak in Spottedleaf’s defense. First, she isn’t a Mary Sue. During Into the Wild and Spottedleaf’s Heart, she’s shown to have many flaws. During Spottedleaf’s Heart, Spottedpaw fell for Thistleclaw (who had a cold, murderous ambition and abused her), was bossy and controlling of her littermates, had a reckless and rebellious personality, fell off a tree while training, etc. During Into the Wild, Spottedleaf is shown to have feelings of being upset, confused, and distant, shown when she was distracted by the prophecy when Firepaw came in to receive poppy seeds, and shown when she was pacing around her den, her mind confused about the words of the prophecy. These depressed emotions resulted in a huge influence on Bluestar in Rising Storm and A Dangerous Path. If you’ve reread A Dangerous Path, Bluestar admits that she was driven insane by the fact that the prophecy didn’t seem to make sense, due to the fire that destroyed them. If Spottedleaf had discovered the meaning of the prophecy earlier, much of her situation wouldn’t have occurred. ~ Cloudy
Oh, I need to re-read fire stars’ quest…
Nice article! I’m neutral about Spottedleaf, but I think she’s a good character!
Great article!
yeah I don’t like Spottedleaf (first comment)
😛
Amazing article!!
I. Hate. SPOTTEDEAF!!!!! Yes, she does stalk Firestars, and second, SHES DEAD AND DIED AGAIN!!! SERIOUSLY FIRE STAR!!! She stalks you, so says how they could have been happy together, and Because of her, Sandstorm does not feel loved by Firestar. (Yeah I’m looking at you Spottedleaf)
also why do they keep mentioning her smell, like what 😛
Good article 🙂
Nice article! Although, there are some thing a want to argue about. First, spottedleaf is not, by any means, a Mary-sue. A Mary-sue would never fall in love (if they were a medicine cat, like in Spottedleafs’ case) with another tom-cat. And it isn’t her fault sandstorm feels insecure. She just was telling fire star how it would have been if she lived.
Great article! I don’t hate spottedleaf but I don’t like her either. When she spoke to firestar and sandstorm in firestars quest she said “firestar and I could never have been together. He loves you. Me and him together would never work out” then immediately turns to firestar and says “sometimes I’d give anything for things to be different” like excuse me???? Also it’s so creepy how everyone comments on her “sweet scent” it’s just… *Shudders*
I think it got cut off, but great article!
