I've seen a lot of Spottedleaf lovers and Spottedleaf haters, so just tell me what you think of her. I'm neutral; she was an okay character, but she wasn't the best.

I've become more neutral on her these days but I'm still moreso leaning towards dislike. I do like Spottedleaf's design, her name and that she apparently smells good though lol.
But what I will defend her from is the fact that some people still call her a groomer and whatnot in regards to Firepaw when she never did any of that. The point of her relationship with him during Into the Wild was the fact that they barely interacted or even knew each other (only twice while on their own on-screen) and that their relationship only got actual romantic undertones after she died and he became a warrior. He had a crush on her (and there is nothing wrong with that since it does happen often that younger characters have crushes on older ones or irl) which she did not reciprocate at the time (she was only stated to become friendlier towards him after seeing how nice he treated Yellowfang while she was still a prisoner). Aside from this, there was no indication of her flirting with him or of their interations being romantic outside of Firepaw's crush and how he himself saw her.
What I still do not like when it comes to Spottedleaf as a character is how she continued to insert herself into Firestar's life after he had become mates with Sandstorm (and I don't even like FireSand as a ship but that scene during FQ where Spottedleaf tells him in front of her that she wishes things had been different was just mad disrespectful towards Sandstorm). Similar to this, later on when Spottedleaf dies a second time, Firestar was also disrespecting his relationship with Sandstorm by yowling about how much he still needed her and whatnot.
The other two things I dislike about her are how she first told Leafpool to follow her heart in regards to Crowfeather in TNP but then threw her under the bus when she did (and I hate the LeafCrow ship btw). And how she spoke to Jaypaw in PoT before he became a medicine cat apprentice.

Because Jaypaw was essentially forced to become a medicine cat even if he was the one who choose to become one in the end. But only after being pressured by StarClan and how frustrating his warrior training with Brightheart was going for him (love Brightheart though, she was doing/trying her best).

I hate her, I guess. But I might be leaning more towards strong dislike.
I think a lot of my dislike for her comes from how she's written. I don't just mean her characters actions or what she says (since those would still be "her" actions and not the writers, technically). What I mean is that the writers just put her into every possible plot and it's something I find incredibly annoying. It feels like a fanfic where the writer inserts themselves into canon scenes (except fanfic is supposed to be fun and unprofessional, and warriors is a published book series lol).
Aside from that, I dislike her actions/words too. Telling Leafpool to follow her heart and then yelling at her for it will always be one of the dumbest things I've seen in the series. Same goes for her disrespect towards Sandstorm in her and Firestorm's relationship. How Sandstorm actually stayed with Firestar when it always felt like she was just the "other woman" I don't know. Maybe in overthinking it, but I also can't help but look at the relationship and go "Yeah that's not something I would ever want to involve myself in".
(And this isn't even to demonize Firestar btw. I love him and think he's great but I feel like his and Sandstorm's relationship was always a bit of a mess here and there).

Dislike her. I hate how she’s added into any plot when it’s completely unrelated to her and unnecessary. is that really her fault though? or just the erins doing that for no reason?

I only liked her in Into the Wild. After that, dislike. I thought it was horrible that she hoped Sandstorm would vanish.

She was fine in TPB. Then she just became seriously annoying. I'm glad she was finally killed off, even if the reason was stupid.
