"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."
Warrior cats fandom, is Leafstar supposed to be a torbie? Her description sounds like it, but the only official design depicting her as one is her icon on the website family tree. It's also worth noting that silver tabbies are usually described as "silver-and-black tabbies" (which would mean she's cream with brown stripes if we apply the same logic), and she wasn't described with cream patches until Ravenpaw's Farewell (published ~6 years after SkyClan's Destiny)
overall I am enjoying it!! It’s giving me broken code vibes (which it itself admits to) and I’m here for it because I liked that arc.
Spoilers for changing skies book one the elder’s quest below.
So not much of an Elder’s Quest in this book called elder’s quest. As in, the two elder POVs take a quick walk together once. They actually don’t get the quest until the very end, when it is given to Tawneypelt by Bluestar (someone she really doesn’t have a connection to, it would have been better if it was Goldenflower). But it’s heavily implying that the clans will have to find a new home a la New Prophecy. And this is pretty heavy handed by the way Tawney and Crow keep referring to the great journey.
Speaking of Tawney and Crow. I guess they’re a thing now? Or at least a ship? One sided right now. But I have a bad feeling it may end up being the thing. Because as we all know every warriors arc needs to have some contrived romance plot for one of the main characters at least. Give us LeafxTawney you cowards!! They have good chemistry!!!
Speaking of Leafstar, or I guess I should say Leafdapple. They are finally using the test the leader policy. Sad that most of it was due to her eye sight going bad, but she was also making some not great decisions. I’m curious to see if they do go through with it, because we tactfully didn’t go back to her POV for the rest of the book. I also like how they handled Hawking this book, he was very respectful and supportive of Leafstar. Again, Leafstar is going to have as much if not more POV than Firestar. Also she’s the first main series leader POV we’ve had since the ginger lad himself. Again, give me LeafxTawney you cowards.
Finally Moonpaw. She’s just as weird as I hoped you silly little thing you. Yep, evil sister. Although not the sister she was combined with (like not her chimera half) but just a sister who died very young. But not in starclan or the dark forest. So maybe a ghost? Interested to see if Rootspring or Tree can see her. I’ve seen people call her Sunpaw or Daypaw which is cute. And with Bluestar’s warning….I’m wondering if this will be our first main series villain POV. Well ok Clearsky is a villain to me, so second main series villain POV. Or maybe an accidental villain. Anyway I love her and can’t wait. Oh also all the scenes with her and Jayfeather when he praised her were very cute.
I want to draw my original design for Moonpaw when her name was announce (White cat with a black half moon marking across her face), the one after her description was announced (orange and black with long orange fur and short black), and then after ready the book (same as above but looking slightly stressed and a bit more silly)
