Hollyleaf — Description

EDIT 12/17/23: Hollyleaf's power as well as a few additional headcanons and physical design tweaks are being edited. While I am using this reference as of now, a new one is being made and once it is finished, this will be outdated. Hollyleaf's new power is mind control, so replace wherever it says she has persuasion powers with mind control until I get the motivation to do that myself

so i was eating my leafverse au and decided to do a hollychild redesign so here you go

spoilers for all books up to a starless clan

Some headcanons + trivia
- Cinderheart married her, not Lionblaze
- She met Fallen Leaves in the tunnels, and because of their extraordinary bond he became a ghost only visible to her even outside the tunnels. He becomes her "spirit guardian" and guides her to StarClan after her death. She sometimes chats to him at random times in the camp, receiving plenty of odd looks from her Clanmates
- She doesn't die in The Last Hope. Don't get me wrong, she does definitely save Ivypool and has a near-death experience, but Jayfeather out of desperation does the impossible and saves her. She still gets Hollytuft named after her with Ivypool and Cinderheart's extreme pressure. Instead, she dies alongside her son-in-law Stemleaf fighting Bramblestar in The Broken Code
- She is the third cat. She was always unsure about her place in the prophecy, and out of this lack of self-esteem she never knew she was using her power (persuading anyone except the other prophecy kin into complete belief of what she forces them to, unbeknownt to her, which she later used at the Gathering where she exposed her parents) when she was. She gave up on the prophecy and fleed to the tunnels. Meanwhile, Dovewing took her place as the third cat and was gifted powers by StarClan - however she was not the true third cat. When Hollyleaf returned, she expected this, but Fallen Leaves explained that Dovewing was the false third cat and told Hollyleaf about her powers. Hollyleaf told Jayfeather, Lionblaze, and Dovewing this, and they accepted it quickly and easily. Note that Dovewing's powers are not false in any way, only her role in the prophecy is.
- She's a tortie now because brown and black parents????? I mean why the heck not?

so yeah thats my hollyleaf thingamabobs
she and dovewing have some strife at first, but they end up becoming good friends
also hollyleaf and willowshine were besties
