She definitely should have had one. Hollyleaf deserved better

No question. She was replaced by Dovewing of all cats to add insult to injury…

I think she's more interesting without a power

Yes. but honestly she’s more interesting as she is.

Giving her a power robs her of some of her most interesting character moment, so I'd say it's a net negative. Also, I'd argue at least from a character perspective, she absolutely doesn't deserve a power. If she's not worth anything without a power, then her problems are all self-made rather than because of her lack of a power.

Yes but actually no (lol).
Because while I do think it would have been great for Hollyleaf to have a power (my idea for her power would be her being able to persuade/influence others easily), I'm also in agreement with Vicky Holmes that Hollyleaf not actually having a power in canon made things more interesting in terms of her character journey later on.

I feel like her developing her power at a later point, after doing everything she did, would have been interesting. So Dovewing would replace her but be a cop-out. She gets replaced by an uninteresting character that only thinks about Tigerkin and then dies when she could have ascended the ranks. (I feel like she would have been appointed deputy instead of Lionblaze.)

I think it would have been an intriguing addition to the story, but overall she's an interesting character without one and had a unique character development compared to others in PoT and OOTS which would not have been the case if she had a power.

No, but I still think she should have been one of the three. Being a hero and doing the right thing despite being ordinary is a good message for a kid's book. It would have also been interesting to see her bring the clans together based on words alone. Jayfeather and Lionblaze have important powers, but neither of them are very charismatic.

It would have also been interesting to see her bring the clans together based on words alone. Jayfeather and Lionblaze have important powers, but neither of them are very charismatic. I’d argue that IS the message. She never needed a power, and she could have done great things. But she was arrogant and threw everything away in a fit of bruised ego. That’s why she’s tragic, because the audience knows she could have done more if she hadn’t made such awful choices.

It bothers me that the Three include 2/3 cats from one litter and 1/2 from another, but Hollyleaf’s character is better off without her having a power.

It would have been cool, and although I haven’t read PoT in ages, I feel like she was more interesting without one. Hollyleaf’s Story would have no existed if she had a power, and I’m rather fond of that novella. Why wouldn't it have existed?

I think that Hollyleaf should have had a power. But like others say, it probably would have taken away some of her charming personality. I don't think it was fair to let her litter mates have powers, while she doesn't. The fact that she had an early death didn't help either.

Just probably wouldn’t be as interesting.

No, I don't think so. I think the story potential and her power itself could have been very interesting and I would have liked to have seen it. However, I like her story just as much, if not more, with her not having a power.
