I've stated many many times that I hated her and why. I REALLY don't wanna rant again.

Neutral, I have nothing against her, she's a good cat at heart who wants the best for those she cares about. However she was handled poorly with her romance with Thistleclaw and Firestar. I understand where Vicky was coming from because she wanted a reason for Thistleclaw to be evil, and I think she also wanted to explain why Spottedleaf fell for Firestar first. But it's not an excuse for how poorly handled it was made into. She could have been so much more. Spottedleaf is a good cat at heart, she's very kind and does help support others. I also like the fact that she respects Fire x Sand and accepts them together. But she needed more of a personality. I don't understand why the younger readers love her more than Sandstorm. Spottedleaf is bland. She should have had a Novella during the greencough incident; that would have given her more of a personality since she was quite feisty and sharp-tongued before she met Firestar. But the Erins handled her character poorly, developing her upon romance from both her past and present life. I'm glad they gave her flaws in the Novella, but I still think she was very poorly handled. Sandstorm is so much better.

She's one of my favorite characters, no joke. I genuinely like her and always have. Pleeeeassseee do not try to debate me on this because I don't read Warriors anymore so I don't want to argue over it.

I hate her, but why in the world is the hate option so subjectively worded compared to the other, more neutrally-toned options?

The only version of her I like is my friend's AU where she's a crazy religious fanatic who has the hots for an apprentice and is trying to seduce Firepaw with religion

I want to say hate but the hate option is so unnecessarily intense I have to go with dislike.

I actually like her as a character. She's caught in so much controversy, but tbh she's actually a sweet and innocent cat. A bit of a mary-sue, considering she's young, pretty, smart, and wise but tbh I'm not mad about it considering her lifespan. A lot of people say she's pointless to the plot, but books are not all about the plot. If it's totally plot focused, it goes by way too fast and seems hurried. It's important to add detail in stories. Spottedleaf was a good way to spice up the usually mundane parts of the story. Like filler, basically. Knowing this definitely softens my view of her and makes me like her a lot more. I wish she'd lived a little longer so that her character really could've shone through at the beginning of the series, but her death also added side drama that could be extended between books, so it was actually smarter than keeping her around. Bah, I rambled. Sorry! Anyways, In conclusion, trust the writers and remember that all characters have a purpose.

I like her. However I wish she'd been handled different. Why couldn't she have loved Firepaw as if he'd been her own kit? She was certainly old enough to be his mother, or grandmother wasn't she? Or even loved him just as a dear friend without it being a romantic thing?
The Erin's also ruined her with the Thistleclaw thing and contradicted her story but they seem to do that with several characters don't they?

Im probably neutral I've also haven't read her book thing yet so there's that. Idk I never had a real problem with her so...but I did hear that she wanted to be a warrior before medicine cat in her book so I'm like but whyd they have to do that (guess that's not really against her more that I'm like why can't we have cats that want to be a medicine cat in the first place)

I've stated my opinion on her several times, and it's negative.

I don't like her. She just gets in the way too much.
