Why is Leafpool still around?

Nah let's keep Brightheart and Cloudpelt and Brackenfur because most of the original characters are gone and we should enjoy them before they fall into StarClan, but I do agree with you Leafpool should go.

but wouldn't you want to have at least some of the original characters rather than the new ones?

Thornclaw, Brackenfur and Brightheart are all either 5 or 6 moons younger than Graystripe. So they needed to he joining the Elders den soon. Cloudtail is about 3 or 4 moons younger than them so he should be joining them soon too.

Ummm... You do realize that Graystripe is 8 moons older than Brackenfur. Right?


Cloudtail 118 Moons,

Brackenfur/Brightheart are 122 Moons,

And Graystripe is 30 Moons.

Though yeah, they should really retire.

It's because Leafpool is going to be the true villain of AVOS after it's revealed she is stealing the life forces of Alderpaw and Jayfeather to stay alive forever, which is why ThunderClan has so many medicine cats

if being kin to firestar makes you stay longer then what is hollyleaf and her cousins Dandelionkit and Juniperkit doing in the ground?

speaking of new heroes we have needlepaw and possibly violetkit who are both not members of ThunderClan nor related to firestar. and the latter goes to twigkit as well.

alderheart and firestar have quite the disparity when it comes to personality. alderheart is a nervous wreck compared to his grandfather.

Agreed. Briarlight, as great of a cat that she is, can't realistically live for so long and miraculously avoid greencough every leafbare.... Ivypool is still a senior warrior though, and she's one of my more favored characters so I think she should stay around.

I notice that you have both Bumblestripe and Briarlight on that list but not Blossomfall.....?

Really? because in into the Wild it implied Graystripe hadn't been an apprentice for long. I think he even told Firepaw when he first joined that he had only trained for a quarter of a moon, which is roughly a week, which implies he is 6 moons old. Sandpaw, Dustpaw and Ravenpaw were mentioned to have been training for longer than him. Also in the same book Graypaw says that Frostfur's kits are 3 moons old when they are stolen by Brokenstar.


From the time Firepaw first joins the Clans to the time the kits are stolen there are 4 gatherings. There is a gathering the day after Firepaw joins. 2 gatherings that take place during a time break and Firepaw's first gathering. Not long after that gathering the kits are stolen. 

Graystripe is only 6 moons older than Frostfur's kits. He isn't the same age as Sandstorm, Ravenpaw or Dustpaw all of them were mentioned to he older and have trained for longer than he had. 

Cloudtail was born in the middle of Fire and Ice. 2 moons after Ashfur and Ferncloud who were born not too long before Frostfur's kits were stolen. Cimderpelt and Brackenfur were apprenticed early they were 4 moons old when they were apprenticed. Since in Fire and Ice a gathering takes place not too long after Fireheart and Graystripe's warrior ceremony and In Into the Wild the Last gathering to take place was Firepaw's first gathering that means Frostfur's kits are 4 moons old. The day after the gathering Graystripe and Fireheart are sent to find WindClan. They are only gone a few days before they returned and Bluestar gives Graystripe and Fireheart, Brackenfur and Cinderpelt as apprentices. Graystripe even says that neither of them were old enough to be apprenticed yet. 

Brackenfur, Cinderpe!t, Brightheart and Thornclaw were all born in the same litter. This is referenced in Forest of Secrets as well as supported by the statements made in Fire and Ice and Into the Wild. Because in Into the Wild it is mentioned that Frostfur had 4 kits stolen by Clawface.

jayfeather and alderpaw are young cats.
leafpool however is not; shes quite old. to prevent death from aging she will absorb that youngness from jay and alder. now she won't die from aging. 
ripple was just joking anyways. you can't really take the youth out of cats in warriors... as of now.

There are lots of cats who have been hanging around for too long.

I'd like to see Brackenfur as a sweet, wise elder, but Cloudtail and Brightheart could go.... Briarlight has also survived for an unrealistically long time (along with pretty much all of the elders, now that I think about it?) Purdy is awesome, but... He's really old ;-;
I could go on.

Let's just have Leafpool stay in ShadowClan permanently, or at least die there, and be done with it.

:0

I meant 130 Moons not 30! Oops.

She's one of my favorite characters, but yes, she needs to go

As much as I like Leafpool, I do have to agree I think her story's over too. And three medicine cats is one too many. I personally think she should just retire to the elders, in addition to most of the older/senior warriors you guys mentioned too, they've earned it.
