Leafshade

Leafshade is a small, lithe, light brown tabby tom with bright green eyes.

The Choice
In the prologue of The Choice, a dying RiverClan she-cat tells a ThunderClan tom to take her kits, whom he is the father of. He reluctantly agrees, because he loves his dying mate so much. The ThunderClan tom knows his Clan will not accept these three kits, knowing ThunderClan is stubborn when it comes to anything from outside of ThunderClan. An idea pops into his mind, which is later revealed in the story. He tells his mate farewell, whilst taking the kits to their new home. It is later revealed that the SkyClan tom was Redstar, the dying she-cat Briarfeather, and the three kits were Sparkfur, Hawktalon and Leafshade.

Redstar's idea was giving the kits to his brother, Eaglestar, leader of SkyClan, to raise the kits, since Eaglestar had a mate within SkyClan, Whitefeather.

Trivia
In the rough drafts of The Choice, he was not a medicine cat.

In the very first rough draft of The Choice, he was going to run away onto the moors with a rogue cat he loved, which is against the warrior code, and run away from his Clan.

He and his siblings were going to be part of RiverClan.
