Firestar first encounters Leafstar, then named Leaf, when he is getting familiar with the gorge territory. He accidentally jumps on her, and she snaps at him and leaves.Later, Scratch introduces Leaf to Firestar. The two both recall their encounter, and Leaf apologizes for snapping at him. Firestar accepts her apology and asks her to join SkyClan, to which she agrees. Once she joins, she is given her warrior name, Leafdapple, and her apprentice is Sparrowpaw. She shows the best understanding of the Warrior Code and the meaning of Clan life. She is shown to be gentle, understanding and compassionate.After the SkyClan patrol is attacked by rats, Leafdapple stays at the camp and is put in charge by Firestar, who is leading a patrol to see the rats.At one point, Firestar and Sandstorm debate whether to nominate Leafdapple as medicine cat, for her qualities, but this idea is turned down upon the arrival of EchoAt the Gathering, she reports that Sparrowpaw, her apprentice, is doing very well.During the first attack on the rats, she is seen rolling ont he ground with two rats clinging to her, and Firestar tries to go help her, but she kills one by herself and the other one flees.Later, before the next battle with the rats, she tells Firestar that this isn't his battle, since he is a ThunderClan cat, so he doesn't have to fight, but he says that he will fight with them until their Clan is safe.After the SkyClan cats lose the battle, Leafdapple says that they shouldn't give up, and eventually, convinces her Clan to continue to fight.When Firestar kills the rat leader, Sharpclaw begins to attack the remaining rats, but Leafdapple says to let them go, because they were now defenseless and harmless. She thanks Firestar for saving SkyClan. Then she goes to the rock with the rats' claw marks and replaces them with her own scratches to show that SkyClan had defeated the rats and that the gorge was now officially theirs.The medicine cat, Echosong, soon gets a message from their ancestors that Leafdapple is to be the leader of SkyClan. She is shown a vision of leaves dappling the ground. Leafdapple is extremely surprised, and objects, saying that Sharpclaw should be made leader, but Firestar points out her sensitivity to the important aspects of Clan life. When she finally agrees, she asks Firestar if she has nine lives and a leader name now, but he tells her that she needs to go through the leader ceremony first. He tells her to trust her warrior ancestors, to which she replies that she rather trust Firestar, but she accepts her position, receiving her nine lives and her leader name not long after.Leafstar decides to make Sharpclaw her deputy. She holds warrior ceremonies for Cherrypaw and Sparrowpaw, and apprentice ceremonies for Bouncekit, Rock-kit, and Tinystar, choosing the new warriors as mentors. She thanks Firestar and Sandstorm, and promises them that their names will be remembered in SkyClan forever. She also confirms Echosong as her official medicine cat.As Firestar and Sandstorm leave, they see her leading a patrol, with Patchfoot, Bouncepaw, and Clovertail.Firestar and Sandstorm name one of their kits, Leafkit, partly in honor of Leafstar, and partially in honor of Spottedleaf.
