I can understand people not liking her for being very bland, but as a character herself? I really don't understand why people still hold a grudge against her. I've been rereading OotS and there was a time when Leafpool took the full blame and said to Brambleclaw not to be angry at her sister for the lies she told. Leafpool knew she messed up and she's earned her rank back. I think people are harsh on her. She trained Puddleshine well, stood up to Rowanstar once for being prideful and she has a good relationship with Jayfeather. Imo Leafpool has redeemed herself in my view and I dont understand why people still hate her for running off with Crowfeather. She's never gonna crawl back to him. She's proven her loyalty to ThunderClan and her kits even forgave her.

I will always love Leafpool and feel more sorry for her compared to Squirrelflight.

She's a horrible medicine cat in all categories. Even her connection with StarClan is kinda sub-par.

I would have been happier if she had gotten kicked form med cat after jayfeather was trained She feels more like she got a slap on the wrist compared to other cats

Considering she's practically the only one who actually wanted to be a medicine cat, she's not very good.
Also, she's kinda boring, but of course that's comparing her to Jayfeather.

I'm a fan of both sisters, but there were some moments where I wanted Leafpool to grow a spine.

A lot of people seem to think you can only like one of the sisters.
Personally, I love Leafpool. I think she's a kindhearted cat, who made some dumb decisions when she was young (though she was also HEAVILY misguided by Starclan, who she turned to for advice). But she loves her family and is loyal to her clan. I don't think she deserves the hate she gets.

I've grown to like her again, but I absolutely disliked her back in TNP, POT, and OotS. Now that she's no where involved with Crow anymore, her character is improving for the better.

Pretty much this. ^^ I couldn't stand her as a character in the second half of TNP and during the 3rd and 4th arcs either. But now that the Crowfeather BS is pretty much done, dead, and gone she's became much more tolerable for me.

Some people really hate that Leafpool seemed to get everything back so easily (like regaining her position, forgiveness from her kits, a presence in Hollyleaf's death scene instead of Squirrelflight) while Squirrelflight had to work to get everything back. That's not my opinion, as I thought both sisters had to go through a lot to get to anywhere close to where they started before the secret was revealed.
A few other factors of it may be that fans are annoyed at author favoritism for her or that they see her as a Mary Sue. For example, her being such a good mentor that she can teach a cat in a moon with almost no consequences (Puddleshine didn't know how to cure yellowcough, but that couldn't be attributed to Leafpool since no medicine cat knew or could teach him the cure).

That's the second time I'm seeing this rumor but without any proof.. could we like, not spread false rumors please? Or is this the new "omg honeyfern wuz preganenate when she dieded!11!"? I'd like to see the source of this (if there even is one in the first place which I doubt) because I find it very unlikely for Sandstorm to be doing something like that
As for Leafpool: it's like cheetahstar said - she basically only got a slap on the wrist for her actions but always acted like she didn't step down on her own free will. I just utterly despise her "woe me" attitude

Sounds like a false rumor to me, because I there is nothing in canon, not even side-books, stating she was forced by her mother at all (Which sounds rather OOC for Sandstorm of all characters to do as is), Leafpool took up being a Medicine Cat on her own free-will from kithood as mentioned in one of the Field Guides and in Midnight. That rumor is as true as Honeyfern being pregnant when she died, as in not confirmed anywhere at all and sounds entirely like a fanmade one. So I'm gonna easily say without a doubt you're wrong.

I'll see if I can find any actual proof online. What proof is there? Unless it's from the actual Erins' mouths, which is super unlikely in this case. She wasn't pressured to be a Med. Cat.

Unless proof that Sandstorm pressured Leafpool is there, just very well hidden, I think that my friend was either misinformed or lied to me. It's not well hidden, it's not there period. Your friend either fell for a false rumor or made one up, that's just how rumors are made/spread. There's no proof, I certainly haven't seen any, and I google constantly for these things. Not trying to rail on you, but just... plz don't try to spread rumors around.

sandstorm chose the name leafkit because of spottedleaf, a medicine cat. therefore, without a shred of doubt, it is clear that Leafpool has suffered immense pressure to be a med cat since kithood.
