I don’t get why so many people hate Holly leaf. All because she brutally killed a traitor that was sent to starclan for ‘loving too much’? To find out that her real mother had lied to her whole life?
I think she’s a great character, but everything went down, but in a good way. She’s a strong but broken female character. She was born as part of the supposed three, thought she like her brothers but they got powers, and she didn’t. She was going through a whole lot with the Sol incident, and the clans breaking apart ,and going against the warrior code.
And she was loyal to the warrior code, being Starclan’s , only to find out that her own mother broke it with some dude in another clan for having her and her brothers. Now she’s distressed. She doesn’t want to break the warrior code, but now she’s the moral personification of it! Imagine ,that you were born into an important family, and you thought you were perfect, meant for something, then you find out your entire existence was a lie.
And soon, the traitor that had killed many cats for her “mother’s” love then tries to BURN her and her brothers in a fire.
Then her “mother” then says ‘They’re not my kits’.
Wouldn’t you react badly? How would you feel, if your auntie’s ex, tried to kill you by cornering you in a burning building, then your mom reveals she wasn’t really your mom, and you nearly die?
All of that is just . And sure, she’s described as a calm and collected and intelligent cat, and I’d get that she was being too, I dunno freaky . Oh, she did try to kill her real mother, but at that point, she was already in denial in whether life had a meaning .
Then, she kills him. Boy could’ve done worse things when he was alive, so she did the right thing. He was already a bad cat anyways. And then she reveals Squirrel’s and Leaf’s secret, but that’s totally okay with me. It was coming to that whether they liked it or not. It was going to find it’s way out .
So, she then save Ivypool , a brave but forgotten act. It think she should be remembered more than the weird powerless third cat. If it weren’t for the toxicity of the place she was living in , well, that’s just it for her sanity.

Amazing article! I love Hollyleaf she’s one of my fav characters
Great Article!!
Great article! I really like Hollyleaf
poor Hollyleaf. This just shows how being in a toxic environment hurts, and causes doubt and destruction. This is not just for cats, but for humans, and all other kinds of animals too. No one, and I mean NO ONE should have to go through what Hollyleaf went through. Hollyleaf is a brave cat to have to go through this.
ashfur anyone?
Mentor: Supposed to be Dustpelt
Actual mentor: Darkstripe
was encouraged by all the supposedly more responsible older cats to be bait for dogs.
had dead parents and dead littermates.
was used as jealousy tool against brambleclaw by squilf
has entire life ruined because squilf had very quickly become his life
all “friends” had millions of kits while he had none
still managed to stay calm for moons
only attacked lionpaw a few times
then he finally snapped and the fire scene happened
got passage into starclan for wrong reason he didn’t love too much, it was that everyone he loved either died or rejected him
thanks for reading my rant
article on this pending
