Leafstar is a mottled pale cream-and-brown tabby she-cat with amber eyes, cream patches, and a long, brown tail. She has a scar on her chest between her forelegs. Leafstar is the current leader of SkyClan in the gorge and in the lake territories. She was originally a rogue named Leaf who joined the newly revived Clan in gorge under Firestar's guidance. She was given her warrior name, Leafdapple, and an apprentice, Sparrowpaw. After defeating the rats, she became SkyClan's new leader with some reluctance, receiving the new name Leafstar, and made Sharpclaw her deputy. Though she was originally discourged from taking a mate, Leafstar decided to forge her own rules by becoming mates with the daylight warrior named Billystorm. With support from Billystorm, Sharpclaw, and Echosong, Leafstar raised three kits named Firekit, Stormkit, and Harrykit. However, she and her kits were captured by a Twoleg and Leafstar was dubbed Miss Mama Cat. Leafstar also met the Twoleg's kittypet named Harry, who joined SkyClan after they were rescued, but Leafstar later exiled him after his true intentions were discovered. Darktail and the Kin drove SkyClan out of their home, and despite the loss of Billystorm, Firefern, and Stormheart, Leafstar remained resilient, and she led her Clan to the lake territories. After some conflict with ShadowClan, SkyClan settled with the other four Clans. Leafstar was doubtful at first about Bramblestar's impostor, but eventually aligned herself with Tigerstar to defeat him.
