Not so long ago, I saw a theory saying that Leafpool's lineage might be seen as illegitimate by ThunderClan and possibly even the other Clans due to her kits with Crowfeather being half-Clan cats. This would then mainly relate further to her grandkits, great-grandkits and so on via Lionblaze's offspring seeing as he is the only LeafCrow kit who went on to have kits of his own.
Which then might kind of explain as to why characters such as Fernsong, Sorrelstripe, Hollytuft, Spotfur, Snaptooth, Flywhisker, Bristlefrost, Thriftear, Flipclaw, Bayshine and Myrtlebloom don't ever express feeling pressured about being related to Firestar or even ever having any pressure put on them like the cats from Squirrelflight's so called legitimate kits and grandkits she has with Bramblestar, with both her and him getting regarded as almost Clan royalty at this point. With Sparkpelt, she was frequently compared to Firestar due to literally looking just like him while her brother Alderheart was more focused on wanting to impress and live up to both of their parent's legacy for a while.
I'm bringing this up now because of how Myrtlebloom specifically was fawning over Nightheart's relation to Firestar in the Sky preview despite literally being related to him as well. Seeing as Firestar is Myrtlebloom's great-great-grandfather after all (while also being Nightheart's great-grandfather).
Of course, this is simply a theory and it could very well just be that the writers and editors have either outright forgotten that Leafpool's descendants are related to Firestar too for obvious reasons and at least some of them should by that logic also have similar moments like Nightheart. Or they don't care/bother with showcasing it on that side of the Firekin family.
