Her powers could had a lot of potential, too bad it was ruined.

I actually like Yellowfang's Secret, including both its plot and character elements. It's a good story and I've never quite understood the criticism of something existing "for drama".

I thought Yellowfang's powers were great to drive the plot forward in Yellowfang's Secret, and it made things interesting to read. I think Yellowfang's Secret was one of the books I got the most invested in because of this, with a lot of characters, it seems like they live mostly in their heads and think things, but with Yellowfang's POV, she actually described what she felt, so you could like feel it you know? That probably sounds really weird XD But one problem I do have, is that just like Leafpool and Squirrelflight's power, it's only just a one time thing, like you said. However, this makes sense, because I don't think the Erins intended for her to have powers in the first arc. Though, I guess they could have a scene or two of her showcasing her power after death, but maybe it doesn't work that way in StarClan.

They're dumb but they're inoffensive and don't detract much from the story.

Her powers had a lot of potentials but were ultimately just wasted. Also it should have come up more beyond her SE.

As others have already said, it was a complete waste of an ability but with at least some potential.

I don't have a problem with her power itself, I just hate how it was handled.

They could have written a scene, like Firestar talking to her in the medicine cat den, and he notices a grimace on her face like she's in pain, and moments later, an injured cat is carried into the medicine cat den or something.

I liked Yellowfang's Secret as a kid and I still enjoy going back to reread it, but I personally view it as "alternate canon". I don't see it connecting to the main series mainly because of the powers they gave Yellowfang. It feels like an excuse to force Yellowfang to become a medicine cat in a sad way rather than her discovering she has a passion for healing. Why does becoming a medicine cat have to be painful and some sort of sacrifice?
