It’s godawfully annoying how much hate she gets. Sorry she didn’t get destroyed with punishment?? It’s not her fault that Firestar didn’t exile her. She stepped down herself, her kits hated her, her former mate openly bashed her, she made a dumb choice but turned around in a heartbeat when the badgers attacked. She was the only medicine cat in Thunderclan now, and she was there when they needed her and never looked back.
Yeah. She had the kits. But are you kidding me? Leafpool loved her kits enough to want to spare them from the clear discrimination that code broken/half clan cats get. She gave Squirrelflight kits to raise, something Squirrelflight believed at the time that she could never have. Rather than having them live in shame alongside her, she gave them away to be raised by a loving pair, who were clearly fantastic parents to them. Leafpool did NOT ever force Squirrelflight to do anything. Squirrelflight made her choice without hesitation because she loves her sister, and Leafpool loves her just as much.
Unlike literally 99 percent of these forbidden relationship characters, Leafpool took way more responsability for her actions than anyone else, honestly. She suffered enough, I can’t fathom the “she got a slap on the wrist” mindset. I’d be emotionally destroyed if my children hated my guts, if my sister’s relationship was broken because of me, if my own child tried to KILL me with poison backing me into a corner. What was she going to do besides step down? Wait for the other clans to force her down? Expect Firestar to exile his daughter and Thunderclan’s fully trained medicine cat after all the crap that went down in PoT?
So what if she got her rank back? At least she’s showing she’s dedicating herself to her clan. She never complained either! She never got mad that her kits hated her. She never whined and tried to defend herself. She took her scorn without question and stepped down, she tried to become a warrior, which takes moons and moons of training, of course she’d suck at it at first!
Not to mention Starclan was really manipulative and awful when it came to Leafpool. She’s told to follow her heart, and go after Crowfeather, then the camp is attacked by badgers and her mentor is slaughtered! Then the kits come and she really had no options in the matter. Honestly, what Leafpool did for the kits’ sake was far more selfless than anything.

The thing is, you can't count the consequences of her actions coming out against her. She was also shown to come into the camp with her tail drooping and acting sad. If she really wanted to take her punishment seriously, she would never have taken her rank back. Her only real punishment was the one she took upon herself and she shouldn't have even done that. She should have waited for her father to punish her.

The way she acted in that fight at the river with Crowfeather was one of the worst character moments I have ever seen. She throws herself in front of them while shrieking "THEY'RE YOUR CHILDREN!" as if Crowfeather should get involved. Crowfeather may be an obstinate and pigheaded cat who deserves no respect, but he absolutely has a point that Leafpool has no right pulling that card when she never even told him about the three. It absolutely looks bad to drop the responsibility on him when she didn't feel like sharing that before. Not to mention going on about how she loved him right in front of his son and new mate, that also really stinks up her character.

I really don't get why people bash on her for being sad. She basically lost her whole family and you expect her to act differently? I feel like people are too hard on her when it comes to her reaction about this whole thing honestly. It's natural for her to feel sad. Her children hated her. What more do you expect? Would you rather she pulled a Mapleshade and killed everyone?

I'd rather people not say that she took it like a champ when she didn't. I hate her more than just the whole secret. Yeah, she took some responsibility, but she didn't really do that great with it. She did get a slap on the wrist, because in the end, she got everything back pretty much. Plus she's a poor medicine cat in general and people build her up to be some god.

Brindlefern - If someone’s post bothers you too much, I suggest that you take a step back & calm down. Also, please reread my announcement from yesterday. It will always apply here. Fair warning to everyone: I’m not going to tolerate this behavior anymore, so I will be around WG and making posts like this if necessary.
