[edit] History

[edit] In the Original Series

[edit] Into the Wild

Spottedleaf was the medicine cat of ThunderClan, and at the beginning of the book, she received a prophecy that stated, "Fire alone can save our Clan." She tells Bluestar, the Clan leader, about the prophecy, though neither cat understands the prophecy, and Bluestar states that "Fire is an enemy to all Clans!" She is described by Graypaw as a young and attractive cat. Spottedleaf helps Firepaw a lot with Yellowfang, and starts to show affection for him, while he showed affection back. She later told Firepaw of this prophecy. She was killed by Clawface during a ShadowClan raid, after she tried to stop him from stealing Frostfur's kits. Yellowfang was the main suspect in her murder, until they found  Clawface's brown fur under Spottedleaf's claws. Firepaw was devastated, realizing that he loved Spottedleaf.  

[edit] Fire and Ice

In this book, Spottedleaf gave Fireheart the prophecy to, "Beware a warrior you cannot trust". He thought she was talking about Graystripe, who was in love with the RiverClan she-cat Silverstream, but it turned out to be her cousin, Tigerclaw that he could not trust. When Brokenstar and his rogues were attacking Clawface attacked Fireheart, but Spottedleaf had been there to "guide" Fireheart to victory. Clawface died in battle with Graystripe.

[edit] Forest of Secrets

After Tigerclaw was exiled, she told Fireheart in a dream, "StarClan is calling you...do not be afraid," meaning that Fireheart was being called by StarClan to be ThunderClan's new deputy, and that he should not be afraid of his new position.

[edit] Rising Storm

In Rising Storm, Spottedleaf came to Fireheart, giving him the prophecy, "Beware an enemy who seems to sleep," warning him that even though Tigerclaw seems to have disappeared, he is still a major threat.

[edit] A Dangerous Path

She appears in one of Fireheart's dreams, along with the medicine cat after her, Yellowfang, and tells Fireheart "This is a place where a battle will not be fought, and blood will not be spilled," convincing Fireheart to travel to WindClan, arranging a peace meeting between ThunderClan and WindClan.

She later appears in another of Fireheart's dreams, with a variation of the prophecy she gave him in Rising Storm. This time, the prophecy is, "Beware an enemy who never sleeps."

[edit] The Darkest Hour

She gave Firestar his eighth out of his nine lives with the gift of love. She also tells him that he is free to love Sandstorm. Later, when Firestar is pondering his decision for deputy, he seeks help from Spottedleaf, so he takes a nap. Spottedleaf laughingly tells him that it was his decision, not StarClan's. Firestar eventually chose Whitestorm.

[edit] In the Super Edition Series

[edit] Firestar's Quest

She appears in a dream, giving Firestar some information about SkyClan, telling him they did exist. Near the midsection of the book, she appeared to both Sandstorm and Firestar to give them the right herbs for rat bites, and showing she approved of their love, but right before leaving, she whispers to Firestar, "Sometimes, I wish things could have been different," as though wishing that she had not been a medicine cat, but instead, have been Firestar's mate. She then appeared near the end of the book, and gave Leafstar one of her nine lives - "for healing wounds caused by words and rivalry. Use it well for all cats troubled in spirit." Soon after, it was revealed that she was related to Cloudstar, Birdflight, and Tigerstar. In the epilogue, it was said that Firestar and Sandstorm's kit, Leafkit, was named after Spottedleaf and Leafstar.

[edit] Bluestar's Prophecy

She is the daughter of Swiftbreeze and Adderfang, and the littermate of Redkit and Willowkit. She is the younger sibling of Patchkit and Leopardkit. When Spottedleaf became an apprentice, she trained as a warrior. Her first mentor, was Thrushpelt ^[3], but her mentor was later changed to Featherwhisker, as she wanted to become a medicine cat. She helps Featherwhisker deliver Bluefur's kits Mistykit, Stonekit and Mosskit. At the end of the book, Featherwhisker dies and Spottedleaf becomes the medicine cat of Thunderclan

[edit] In the New Prophecy Series

[edit] Moonrise

When Leafpaw was at the Moonstone she saw Spottedleaf. When Leafpaw asked about her sister, Squirrelpaw, Spottedleaf was the one who said Squirrelpaw was in the paws of different warrior ancestors, meaning the Tribe of Endless Hunting.

Spottedleaf came to Squirrelpaw in a dream and led her to where Leafpaw and the other cats are, captured by Twolegs and in cages.

[edit] Starlight

She tells Leafpaw that they have found the right place for the Clans to settle. Spottedleaf also leads Leafpaw (along with Sorreltail) to the Moonpool, a place where medicine cats and leaders can come to share tongues with StarClan.

[edit] Twilight

When Leafpool is trying to figure out whether to run away with Crowfeather or not, Spottedleaf tells her to follow her heart. Leafpool, thinking her heart was with Crowfeather, ran away, only to come back following the news of the badger attack.

[edit] Sunset

Leafpool is mad at Spottedleaf for telling her to follow her heart, believing that if she had not run away, Cinderpelt would not be dead. Spottedleaf comforts her, saying that her heart lies in being a medicine cat. When Leafpool asked her why she didn't tell her this, Spottedleaf says because how would she convince her, if she didn't show her the wrong path. Later, Leafpool spots Daisy's kits chasing a butterfly. They told Leafpool that the tortoiseshell cat showed it to them saying they could chase it. Leafpool thought they meant Sorreltail, yet she was with her kits in the nursery. Later it is revealed that the tortoiseshell cat was Spottedleaf and she was trying to tell Leafpool the truth about how Mothwing became medicine cat. Spottedleaf also shows Leafpool that Cinderkit is really a reincarnation of Cinderpelt.

[edit] In the Power of Three

[edit] The Sight

When Jaykit is injured and is asleep in Leafpool's den, she appears in his dream, comforting him and telling him that Hollykit and Lionkit are all right. When Jaypaw visits the Moonpool she guides him out of the Place Of No Stars, where Tigerstar and Hawkfrost were persuading him to join them. She then tells Jaypaw it is his destiny to become a medicine cat.
