[Leafpool touches the surface of the Moonpool, which reflects a crescent moon]
Good morning/day/evening! My name is Wishpaw/river (Wish Gliding In A River), formerly Wishpaw/song (Wish Drifting In A Song). Today, I am going to write about Leafpool and why she deserves some sympathy for all the late Power of Three Hollyleafs out there 😛. What I mean, is those people who hate Leafpool. I hope after reading this article, you will like Leafpool more, or even grow to love her like me. Now, enough chit-chat. Let’s get started!
Why do people hate Leafpool so much? Well, I think it is because she lied. She lied to everyone. To Jayfeather, Hollyleaf and Lionblaze. To Firestar and the Clans. To every CAT in the Clans. One could even say she lied to the prey! 😛 Anyway, so she lied. Big deal. Everyone found out in the end! And she HAD to lie, in order to help her Clan! But what I also find annoying is that people hate Leafpool for lying, but they don’t really hate Squirrelflight for lying. WHAT?!
Why should you like Leafpool? Because with every step she took, she never stopped caring. One could say that she was a Mary-Sue, and I would NOT agree. But that doesn’t stop me for liking her! She deserves some sympathy. I mean, come on, people! She loved Crowfeather, he loved her, and then she lost him. She lost her kits because she couldn’t take care of them and stay as a medicine cat. She lost everything except her sister, who stuck be her side every step. So don’t you see? Leafpool deserves some sympathy! She’s been through so much. And don’t even get me started on the old forest. She was captured by us (er, Twolegs) and she had to face challenges when she was JUST AN APPRENTICE. You all like cats who are cool, right? Well, Leafpool is cool too! She is so brave, and I think she is very underrated. I mean, at least the Erins gave her a super edition, so I can’t thank them enough for that.
After reading through this, I think I should put a little more thought into the Mary-Sue part. I mean, she had a forbidden love, forbidden kits, and she died bravely! Can someone PLEASE explain to me how she can be a Mary-Sue if all THAT happened to her?!
All right, this has gotten really long, so I’ll stop it! I hope I made you Leafpool haters like her a little, you Leafpool lovers proud, and the people neutral on Leafpool understand her more. I hope you all have a wonderful rest of your day, and I’ll see you around BlogClan! May StarClan light your path!

Great article!! I love Leafpool <3
Great article! Leafpool is a bit “flat” and “boring” to me, and {SPOILER ALERT} her death is also kinda boring, but I don’t HATE her. Not really, anyway. But she’s definitely very brave. Hey, remember that time when she was captured by Twolegs? She got captured BECAUSE she was trying to bring Twoleg food to Sorreltail, a pregnant queen. So yeah, you could say she’s dumb for being captured, or you could look at the bigger picture and say she’s absurdly loyal to her Clanmates. Which resulted evidently in her demise. But oh well.
Edit: Good luck on deputy, Flamepaw/spirit! And Wishpaw, is your mentor Willowstripe? She’s looking for you!
Leafpool is awesome!
I like her just fine. She made a mistake that other cats made and lied about (Bluestar, Yellowfang). She gave birth to two of The Three (which was destined). She served her clan well as a medicine cat. She died trying to protect Moonlight’s kits, a selfless act.
Amazing article! I love Leafpool. She is amazing and deserves more attention! I always cry while reading Squirrelflight’s Hope (my favorite SE btw). I usually get worked up and start to cry when Squirrelflight rewatches some of her memories about Leafpool and at Leafpool’s funeral. Leafpool was brave, kind, selfless, and she truly did deserve to be loved.
I LOVE LEAFPOOL
She is literally on my top five
I don’t think she has a super addition, only a novella
yea, leafpool’s wish
Great article! I’m neutral on Leafpool 🙂
about the part where you said leafpool was hated for lying but squiff wasn’t, I agree cause that’s one of the reasons I hate squiff. I might do an article about her
Nice article! (Totally not someone who just wrote a “Why Leafpool is not as cool as you think she is” article 😛 XD) but I’m pretty neutral now >:D
But you made some nice points!!
Great article! I like Leafpool, but only in early TNP when she is an apprentice and when she is Jaypaw’s mentor. Other than that she is just kind of boring.
i agree!! she’s one of my fav charactars!! and she’s really underrated
