"We're on our own, just as we've always been."
— Bellaleaf about the hostility towards SkyClan in The Raging Storm, chapter 9


Bellaleaf is a pale orange she-cat with green eyes.[13] She has long legs[10] and a chin that tapers to a point.[6]

Bellaleaf is a SkyClan warrior under Leafstar's leadership in the gorge and lake territories. She was born a kittypet as Bella to Violet alongside her littermates, Riley, Patch, and Lulu. After hearing stories from Smudge about the Clans, she and Riley went to Barley's barn wanting to become warriors. Upon arriving at SkyClan's territory with Ravenpaw, Riley, and Barley, she helped fight off kittypets before being apprenticed as Bellapaw to Tinycloud. When SkyClan was driven from the gorge by Darktail, she was made a warrior as Bellaleaf, and she and Rileypool led the Clan to Barley's farm before travelling to the lake. After mourning Rileypool's death and arriving at the lake, Bellaleaf mentored Reedclaw and temporarily Finleap. She became mates with Rabbitleap and had three kits, but only Wrenflight survived.

A Vision of Shadows[]

Bellaleaf: "We should have fought harder to make one."
—Bellaleaf arguing with Leafstar The Raging Storm, chapter 15

Bellaleaf temporarily takes over the training of Finpaw while his mentor, Blossomheart, is on a patrol searching for the missing SkyClan warriors, and her apprentice, Reedpaw, becomes a warrior. She is determined that SkyClan stays at the lake rather than retreating to the gorge.

"We're not going unless you make us! We're warriors, so we know how to fight!"
―Bella after a rogue demands that they leave Ravenpaw's Farewell, chapter 7
In Ravenpaw's Farewell, Ravenpaw and Barley are walking in the abandoned Clan territories when they run into Violet, who reveals that she's had a litter of kits. Ravenpaw and Barley go to visit the kits and meet Riley and Bella, the most talkative ones. Seasons later, Violet takes Bella and Riley to the barn to visit Ravenpaw and Barley. Patch and Lulu, Bella's littermates, have already found new homes, and Riley and Bella are growing big and strong. The kits have been obsessed with the Clans ever since Smudge told them about ThunderClan, and they beg Ravenpaw to let them become warriors.
Ravenpaw and Barley eventually agree to journey with the two kits to SkyClan, but when they get there, Leafstar rejects Bella and Riley. The kits, Ravenpaw, and Barley are dejected and are about to return home. However, when they discover that SkyClan is being harassed by a group of kittypets, they help the Clan defeat the intruders. After this, Leafstar allows Bella and Riley to become SkyClan apprentices, and Bellapaw is apprenticed to Tinycloud. During Rileypaw and Bellapaw's apprentice ceremony, Ravenpaw passes away in Echosong's den.

Quotes[]

Bella: "When I'm a warrior, I'm going to hunt just like Ravenpaw."
Violet: "Not this again, Bella. There aren't any warriors now, remember. (to Ravenpaw) I know you used to be one, of course, but you aren't anymore, right?"
Ravenpaw: "No, no, I'm not a warrior."
Riley: "But that doesn't mean we can't be! You could train us, Ravenpaw! We'd work really hard, I promise."
Bella: "We'd do everything you said, practice all the battle tactics and the hunting moves. I wouldn't even mind doing dawn patrols!"
—Bella about being a warrior Ravenpaw's Farewell, chapter 3


Violet: "Oh, my precious kits. you're right. I chose to be a kittypet having known the alternative. How can I deny the same choice to my kits?"
Bella: "You mean we can go?"
Violet: "I will think of you every day, my loves. Be the best warriors you can be. And if you ever come by this way again, please remember me."
Bella: "We'll never forget you! You're the best mother a cat could ever have! I... I don't want to go if I'll never see you again."
Violet: "Courage, little one! Partings are always hard, but endings are just the start of something else!"

Ravenpaw: "Come on, Bella! It's safe now!"
Bella: "What if the dog comes back?"
Ravenpaw: "It won't."
Bella: "You don't know that!"
Ravenpaw: "Well, not for sure, but I can't see it along the riverbank, and I can't hear it anymore. We're going in the opposite direction, so we have time to get away."
Bella: "I'm scared. I want my mother."
Riley: "Maybe this wasn't such a good idea."
Ravenpaw: "All warriors get scared sometimes. It's the only way to tell if you're being brave. You kept yourself safe from that dog, didn't you? You did well, both of you. Violet would be very proud of you. But we need to keep going, before the dog comes back. [...] You can't stay up there forever, Bella! A hedge is no place for a cat, kittypet or warrior!"
Bella: "Do you promise the dog won't get me?"
Ravenpaw: "I promise. [...] Well done. You're doing great."
