Character[]
Darkleaf has been known to be a vain, jealous, and brutal she-cat, despite her role in HollyClan serving as the newest medicine cat apprentice.
History[]
HollyClan's Shadow[]
Darkleaf was born sometime near the end of the book. She was the daughter of Vibranteye and Silverclaws. Her half-kin cousins were Rosestep, Rosepetal, and Styxpelt. She was a vicious she-kit when she was born, and always troubled Vibranteye because the queen never paid any attention to her unless Darkleaf had made some sort of distraction, causing their relationship to be negative in the future.
Flora and Fury[]
Darkleaf, (Darkkit back then) had grown close to the former medicine cat apprentice Almondpaw, and enjoyed spending her spare time with him. When she was an apprentice, she and Almondpaw would play cruel pranks and leave the camp to focus more on eachother. One day, as the clan had begun to settle in their new camps, Almondpaw was taken by his mentor, Pricklegallow to receive his medicine cat name, but when he returned, he was different, and was known as Almondfur. Darkpaw spent her last days as an apprentice with him, and after one more prank, Tinselstar grew to become a rage filled leader, forcing the role of medicine cat apprentice onto her after Pricklegallow had died. This had only made Darkpaw and Almondfur become even closer. Their old, bullyish romance turned into a different kind of love.
One day, Darkpaw had noticed that her half-siblings were playing games, and she herded them out of camp. Tigerbracken had spotted her do so, but said nothing. Almondfur returned to camp with fresh herb supplies, and Darkpaw realized that he was trying on focusing more of his actual medicine cat duties. She felt rejected and ignored, and was afraid of loosing him again, as she had lost his cheerful, happy self when they were apprentices. She talks to Rosepetal later on, hinting that something bad was going to happen to Almondfur, but if Rosepetal had heard it, she took no notice of it.
Later in the night, Darkpaw tells Tigerbracken that she and Almondfur would be going out for a while and wouldn't return soon. He nods and looks away.
Once it is dawn, Vibranteye awakens and realizes instantly that something is wrong. When she walks out of camp to take a fresh breath of air, she smells her daughter, and looks around frantically, but gives up and leaves. When she returned to camp, however, she spots Darkpaw standing over Almondfur's slumped, wet body. Tinselstar demands to her what happened, and she explains that a BrookClan patrol attacked them both and used Almondfur as a hostage to drown him if they didn't get any herbs. Vibranteye spots an odd glint in her daughter's green eyes as she has a wicked amount of herbs in her paws.
