Spottedleaf's plot
is a short Warrior Cats fanfic written by Northflower. It's based on the Fandom-Specific Plot of rewriting Spottedleaf as a villain.
Spottedleaf can't get over Fireheart, even in death. She wants his mate, Sandstorm, dead, so she blackmails Mapleshade into killing for her. Unfortunately for the Clan cats, this isn't a quick process. Many tragedies lead back to Spottedleaf.
This fanfic provides examples of:
- Adaptational Villainy: Kind and generous Spottedleaf is turned into a coldhearted villain who doesn't care who she hurts.
- Alternate Universe Fic: Spottedleaf is evil and numerous events in ThunderClan relate back to her. The events are also slightly different than in canon.
- And I Must Scream: Cinderpelt's reincarnation isn't true reincarnation. Instead, Cinderpelt becomes trapped in Cinderkit's body. She has no control over the body and instead acts as a sort-of subconscious instead.
- Bittersweet Ending: Mapleshade gets her revenge on Spottedleaf, but Mapleshade also dies as a result.
- Dead Guy Junior: Sandstorm named Leafkit after Spottedleaf. Ironically, Spottedleaf hates Sandstorm.
- Death of a Child: To show she means business, Spottedleaf kills one of Mapleshade's kits. As he was already dead, he truly died this time.
- Hostage Situation: By threatening her kits, Spottedleaf blackmails Mapleshade into killing her niece Sandstorm for her.
- Mature Animal Story: Spottedleaf's plot is a bloody fanfic where the medicine cat Spottedleaf orchestrates various wrongdoings.
- Tongue Trauma: Spottedleaf tears out Ashfur's tongue.
- Would Hurt a Child: Spottedleaf gets Mapleshade to do what she wants by threatening her kits. When Mapleshade doesn't act fast enough for her, Spottedleaf kills one of her sons.
- Yandere: Spottedleaf wishes she was Firestar's mate, so she attempts to kill his mate Sandstorm. If she has to kill others along the way, so be it.
