I felt bad for her, after seeing how badly she lost to Squirrelflight in the poll, so I decided to make an appreciation post for her. What are some things you like about Leafpool? I like the fact, that she's the only super in your face cat from TNP to finally die. She was also really great before she met Crowfeather, and I like how she was always willing to lend a helping hand, except for that one time, when she didn't tell Mothwing about the catmint that Heavystep needed, but it all turned out okay, because Heavystep came back from the dead. Anyway, what are your positive thoughts about Leafpool?

Leafpool definately gets too much hate.
leafpool is kind, gentle, and soft spoken. yes, she is passive, but in all fairness, it is what makes her interesting. instead of going out of her way to do or get something, she prefes to wait in the background as to not hurt or disturb anyone. that's just who she is. like how she didn't want to hurt anyone and preferred squirrelflight help her. or how she didn't push her way into her kid's lives, instead she just waited in the background to have small moments with them on the side.
leafpool punishing herself is also interesting and makes me like her. she'd rather suffer alone than drag anymore people into it, hence why she stepped down without letting firestar say anything first. in my mind, this shows me that she doesn't want any more shame put on anyone else but herself. i guess she is both selfish and selfless at the same time? or rather she had her selfish moment in TNP and spent the rest of her life being selfless to make up for it, even if it meant suffering alone.
leafpool deserves way more love and appreciation.

I love Leafpool
She's kind, gentle, and mothers everyone. Moth Flight sucks, because obviously Leafpool could have handled having her kits AND being medicine cat.
I love that she always takes full responsibility for the "mistake" she made, and always stands up for Squirrelflight. I love that she's obviously a talented teacher, and I love that she seems to be able to forgive easily. I also love her relationship with Jayfeather, who she kind of balances out. Her son is grumpy and difficult, but she seems to know just how to deal with him.

She's my favorite character. A deep thinker. She came back to the clans not because of obedience, but realizing she loved her clan and medicine cat role more than anything.

I like her well enough (just not as much as Squirrelflight), and the only reason I love her relationship with Crowfeather was because how of the drama. Leafpool as a cat is generally sweet and kind, but she's not perfect, and I like that about her.
And I say this as someone who didn't grow up with her birth parents, but I also hate it whenever someone says she didn't deserve to be forgiven or have a relationship with her children. Because of the circumstances at the time, I really don't blame Leafpool for wanting to keep the truth about her kits a secret.

Agreed, people are WAY too harsh on Leafpool, I know I complain about half-clan relationships more than anyone on here, but Leafpool proved time and again, that she is dedicated to ThunderClan, and she actually took responsibility for herself. It's not her fault that the dumb medicine cat rule is still in place. It's not fair that her duty to ThunderClan, ruined her chances to have a relationship with her kits, but now she has that chance (at least with Hollyleaf in StarClan) and that's fantastic

She's one of my favorite characters. I honestly feel like she is one of the few characters whose personality stayed consistent throughout the entire series (unlike some characters who started with a defined personality and then kinda lost it). She's very realistic and all around just a great character who went through some difficult stuff, but still managed to pull through. Plus she is an incredible medicine cat

My GIRL
She's kind. She's gentle. She doesn't have a violent bone in her body, but she'll still do anything for her loved ones, especially her children. She was utterly manipulated by people she should have been able to trust and coerced into giving up the children she loved, she was rejected by her children and everyone she had known, she was unable to pursue her calling, but she still went forward every day and tried her best. She's amazing and StarClan doesn't deserve her, dammit

I feel like everything good about her has been covered already here, lol
Anyway, I really like her, but it's kind of hard to get to love because my first impression of her wasn't too great. But now, after everything else, I like her, and she's a great mother and medicine cat. I know that she could have balanced her mom and medicine cat duties responsibly, she shouldn't have had to give her kits up. I hope she's resting peacefully in StarClan <3

Also I forgot to mention that she gave her kits to Squirrelflight not because of obedience to the code, but to make sure they lived the best life. She loved/cared for them.

When I 1st read TNP I thought that Leafpool was a great contrast in comparison with Sqirrelflight and the TPB characters. She is extremely calm which makes me like her as a character

One of my favourite scenes in warriors is the lost stars bonus scene. Leafpools and Jayfeathers interaction was so heartwarming
