How does the three find out that there mother was leafpool?

Answer 1

jayfeather and hollyleaf both find out in their own separate ways.

jayfeather found out by searching through his earliest memories, and distinguishing each individual scent he found his own, hollykits, lionkits, squirrelflights and one more female cat. not wanting to get caught asking questions, he goes and talks to mousefur claiming that she is the one cat that doesn't gossip. she gave him the information that the snow was thick and everyone in the camp was stunned when squirrelflight came back with kits and she had leafpool with her. another key piece of information was that longtail mentioned that leafpool had given mousefur a strange, not unpleasant herb in her tansy, it tasted cold like frost on fur and fresh grass even though it was dry and dusty. jayfeather had been clearing up the herb store when he was called to go treat purdys paws, mouse fur told him he had some of the funny herb on his pelt. at the moonpool he asked littlecloud what it was. he told him that it was parsley and was mainly used for stopping nursing mothers milk. this was the last bit of information that he needed to conclude that his mother was leafpool.

hollyleaf followed leafpool out of camp, thinking that she knew about what happened with ashfur and the storm, reasoning that squirrelflight would have confided in her sister. then straight out asked leafpool who her mother was, and got the answer "i am your mother, squirrelflight was tiring to protect me.

Answer 2

The three, Hollyleaf, Lionblaze, and Jayfeather, discover that Leafpool is their mother when Hollyleaf overhears a conversation between Leafpool and Squirrelflight about their true parentage. This revelation leads to a series of events that tests their loyalty to their clan and challenges their sense of identity.
