Hollyleaf's Mate(s) - Sunny's Spiel | Warriors Analysis

- Yes I am doing a shipping video. I know exactly what I’m doing...
So Hollyleaf is wonderful, right? Who wouldn’t want to be her mate?
I should add as a clarification that I personally headcanon Hollyleaf as both asexual and aromantic, and I do know the difference between the terms. I used asexual in the video as shorthand for being asexual and aromantic on account of the former term being more popularly known.

Warriors really need more characters like Hollyleaf. Just have a relationship dynamic with a whole bunch of the cast because it helps both that character and the cast itself stand out. Double advantages.
Ivypool shouldn's have gotten a mate. If it was super necessary then give her a mate and no kits. Once ivypool became a queen she lost all her personality from omen of the stars and became like every other queen and it frustrates me cuz she my fav character. They should hv made fernsong so we can hv a first nursery dad in the series like they said they should do in the book and ivypool should hv kept being a warrior with her personality. Now im rambliing
Mousefur too^^
Oh god. No. We don’ need more cats like her.
Agreed!
I also kinda like that Holly didn't get a proper mate (at least in her mortal lifetime), as she together with very few characters (like Leopardstar and Mousefur) kinda breaks the "every she-cat must become a mum or die after just getting into a relationship" wall
Nah instead she died THEN she probably entered a relationship
They are fucking animals
@@Amanecer458 What...? What are you on about...?
@@Amanecer458 they're heavily anthropomorphised
I like mousefur she’s underrated
I always imagine Hollyleaf being asexual. She just seems prefer having friends than mates, also focus on her ambitions.
@SunBeetle being asexual means you don't feel romantic attraction but you can in fact go into a relationship. Atleast the aromantic part of it does. Asexual can also be ace meaning you don't feel sexual attraction
@SunBeetle Ace means lack of sexual attraction-
@SunBeetle people don't need to have sex to be in a relationship??
I am heavily confused by what happened in this comment thread but am here to support my ace bretheren, as an asexual in a romantic relationship.
I like to think that Holly is in a poly relationship with Willowshine and Fallenleaves who is a he/him lesbian.
But aro/ace Hollyleaf is amazing and valid as well💜💜
Hollyleaf was probably asexual BUT that does not mean she was aromatic so she still could of been with someone just romantically instead of sexually meaning she wouldn't have to have kits
There was actually a part of a book when HollyLeaf saw CinderHeart with LionBlaze her heart sank, so it’s very possible that she was bisexual, but I do like to think at She is aromantic
Some people just don’t want to get married. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not against the idea of her being ace or aro, but I just don’t think that’s the case myself.
I love the ace Hollyleaf headcanon! But it could also be that she wasn’t asexual, just didn’t want to have kits. Though really, it’s up to self interpretation, and whatever you headcanon her as it’s valid (:
@@humanbeeing4780 First off, that's my headcanon and second off, there are no cats in warriors that are not straight, this is because of publishing reasons.
As an aro/ace person I could definitely see Holly as being aromantic asexual. It would be nice to have some representation.
That’s my canon right there. None of this “dating Fallen leaves” shenanigans.
I see her as Asexual and see her romantic attraction as lesbain (Since I ship her with Willowshine and Cinderheart) but if I probably didn’t have that emotional attachment to those ships, she’d definitely be aro in my eyes. (Also I’m aware that aros can be in relationships, I just think that it’s kinda more stereotypical to just say aro when I mean no relationships)
It’s actually canon for now.
@@jayraffer3213 where does it say that it’s canon? I’m acc curious cuz if it is that’s awesome
Isn’t here- like a whole prophecy about how Holly and Ivy are related? 👁👄👁
Ikr
Not really. The prophecy is about Jayfeather and Lionblaze, who's sister is Hollyleaf, being grandchildren of Firestar and Dovewing, who's sister is Dovewing, being a great grand-niece of Firestar. That particular relationship would be weird in the human world but Warriors has to deal with some level of familial relation pretty much all the time since they have such small and enclosed populations. It really only stands out because the prophecy primes readers to remember they're related, more than they are really.
@Smol Gal yeah, but that was a mistake on the writer’s part
@@Sunnyfall that’s true, but there are so many choices to ship anyone else with Hollyleaf other than her second cousin, lol. But I totally agree, Aro/Ace Hollyleaf for life
even so there was a period of time where the ship was reasonable popular, it'd be remiss to not include it in a video about how shipped hollyleaf
As interesting as a ship like Hollyleaf x Sol is, it really feels like to me that Sol was trying to use her for his own benefit. He baits her with answers to her personal issues, and even says this line (which is part of the reason I think people ship them):
“I left ShadowClan, but I cannot leave the lake yet...The Clans need me, they just haven't realized it yet. You need me, Hollyleaf.”
It’s just so chilling to me, and it reeks of manipulation.
Oh heck yes. I was never and will never suggest that they would be a healthy relationship. But in some shipping circles it could be interesting to add a bit of attraction to an already manipulative relationship to make the situation even more complicated.
@@Sunnyfall yeah, it’s Sol being Sol, he is built on manipulation
i always loved the thought of them having a sibling/father and daughter dynamic. they never felt like they were in a romantic relationship but what relationship they DO and COULD have is so interesting to me. like they can be partners in crime (of course with sol manipulating hollyleaf into most if the ''evil'' things she does such as killing ashfur and attempting to kill leafpool)
i would die before shipping hollysol, but the dynamic if they were to wind up in a relationship is so very interesting to me. but only if it has a happy ending and she leaves him and realizes how horrible he was. part of why i like hollyleaf/fallen leaves is in a post-hollysol sort of context - hollyleaf is rattled by her trauma from sol’s manipulation, and has fallen leaves to vent to and to realize what a good mate actually looks like… sometimes the straights are alright
I def do not ship them, but him being predatory to someone desperate to be special and idk, maybe being a bit of a push towards her murder phase would have at least made him a wee more interesting of a villain, rather than the more common "Lets just ignore the social gap between this adult coded character and this minor coded character!" And then she also maybe could have killed his ass when she realized he was a manipulative creep, then killed ashfur, tries to kill leafpool, bombs her family unit as a whole and runs off screaming into the night. Like, Sol being only effective so far as creating a much more serious "Villain" that became his own downfall would have been more interesting for him and would have set her up for an interesting redemption for her. (She could also have died and been forced into the dark forest buuuuut ya know)
Why does every she-cat think they have to have kits?😝😑 This is why I love characters like Mousefur and Hollyleaf. They are both great hunters, fighters, and can show up the toms any day! Warriors needs more strong, independent, and tough she-cat's like them! I'm not saying a she-cat can't be all those things if they do have kits, but it's nice when they don't in my opinion.
Well the reason for that is most likely due to how society tends to say, even to this day, that every female should have children in their life. So when others hear girls say they don't want to have children they often react like Squirrelflight, or just ignore their statements. Though that's a whole other topic to explain fully about so I've just written an extremely short explanation on the topic.
@@dogsandcatsrule3856 Thank you for the explanation, but i am definitely one of those girls that don't want kids and I tend to be on the tomboy side, so i relate to characters like Mousefur and Hollyleaf. To your point, society (for some stupid reason) thinks that every female on the planet should have kids, but why does everyone have to follow society? I understand that the writers are trying to make it relatable and have the story some what resemble the real world but when it comes to creating characters, they should have different thoughts and opinions. In the world of warriors (especially when Bramblestar is leader) she-cats are almost expected to have kits for the good of the clan. (Which is kind of dumb from how many cats Thunderclan takes in) And if some she-cat's wanna do that, fine! Have at it! But, characters should have different thoughts and opinions which is why I don't understand why the majority of she-cats feel responsible for the role of a queen? All I'm saying is that it would be refreshing to have a few she-cats (that arn't med-cats) that could have a different point of view on the subject and maybe even rebel against society's stereotypes instead of following everybody else. Again, thank you for explaining. Your explanation made perfect sense, and I hope you have a great day.
Basic biology tells us that most females desire to have children of their own, in warriors even tough she cats like sandstorm and tawnypelt gave way to instinct, there's nothing wrong with that.
@@TheAshfurApologist Which is why I made a point to say, "Warriors needs more strong, independent, and tough she-cat's like them! I'm not saying a she-cat can't be all those things if they do have kits, but it's nice when they don't in my opinion." Why I think it's nice when she-cats don't have kits is because when they do it shows a lack of individuality, and the writers tend to weaken the she-cats the minute they get a mate or have kits. (Examples: Squirrelflight it Ivypool) I'm not saying all she-cats shouldn't have kits. They can if they want to. The point i was trying to make was that almost every she-cat in the books goes through the exact same story line of starting out strong, becoming softer once they get a mate, then have kitty's which changes their personality entirely. It would be nice if there was more she-cats that just wanted to be a warrior and not a queen, or a queen who's personality doesn't change even when they have kits. I get that when someone does have kids they do become softer, but from a writing and character perspective it starts to get old fast.
Edit: Even if no one agrees with me on the she-cat subject, y'all at least have to agree that it was completely out of character or IVYPOOL to have kits!
@@Phonenix_6543 sleekwisker might be your type, she was pretty tough and childless, agree about ivy, definitely didn't think she was mom material.
Am I the only one weirded out that people shipped Needletail with Violetshine? Their relationship is more like sisters or mother and daughter. Maybe it’s just me.
They ship them?! Oh God but their platonic relationship is so sweet and Needle took care of Violet like a mom. It's so weird to know that people just can't see two girls or two boys interacting, no matter what they're doing or who they mean to each other (like Tigerstar x Scourge WTF?!!) and say "OMG they're definitely gay/lesbian!"
@@starkittyangelBoth VioletNeedle and TigerScourge are very gross considering both Violet and Scourge were kittens when Needle and Tiger were probably older apprentices by time they were born.
This has nothing to do with them lol
I headcanon Hollyleaf as asexual as well, being ace myself, but sexual attraction is different from romantic attraction. I'm gonna be honest, I ship/have shipped her with nearly every cat you brought up in this video except Breezepelt and Ashfur XD.
Why would anyone actually ship her with Breezepelt? Ivypool is fine, they're related so distantly by Warriors standards, but why would anyone want to ship her with her HALF-BROTHER?! I don't think Ashfur works either.
@@yzmathehufflepuff6631 I think that the crack-ships are just meant to be that: crack ships. They are probably not meant to be taken seriously
@@yzmathehufflepuff6631 i shipped her with breezepelt before i learned they were related lmao. but then ive always stuck to a headcanon/au that her and breezepelt were best friends (or at least friends) and they actually bonded alot. their personalities were similar imo even before holly found out shes not squilf's kid. i think in the battle against the dark forest breezepelt would see hollyleaf's death and would finally fully realize what he's done and tahts why he so quickly changed personalities after omen of the stars and why everyone forgave him and he had heathertail's kits
Hollyleaf, the main character than turns evil, gets an actual character redemption, and truthfully just had a great character arc. It truthfully makes sense that she has so many options for ships lol. Love this video cause I know I had no clue how many different ships she has!
As an asexual aromantic person, I can relate to this sentiment of "who says you need a partner anyways."
Aromantic would be a more accurate description, since asexuals can have romantic feelings, date and get married. Aro/ace is also fine but just being asexual doesn't mean one wouldn't get a romantic partner.
Oh my God, I am so with you on this. As someone who is aromantic, I really love seeing some representation and warriors, even if that wasn’t necessarily what they were going for.
I completely agree. I am an aroace Hollyleaf headcanoner. I love Holly x Fallen Leaves, but only as a platonic soulmates kind of thing.
Even as a kid I always personally saw Hollyleaf as asexual, but I thought that it was possible for her to have romantic attraction. I've never been sure on that last part (of the first sentence in my comment, that is). Being Homoromantic and Asexual myself Hollyleaf was the first fictional character I really could connect to (especially with her being a relentless perfectionist on herself, having a strong moral code, and always wanting to help the others she cared about as well). Personally I either ship her with Fallen Leaves or Cinderheart, but if any of you disagree that's perfectly fine! After all each one of us is unique in our own ways so of course its only natural to have different opinions.
I ship her with willowshine, hazeltail, or cinderheart and I respect your opinion too :)
Cult of Ace Holly 🤟
AROACE HOLLYLEAF AROACE HOLLYLEAF AROACE HOLLYLEAF!!!!!
That said, I really do enjoy a lot of her ships with other girls too. But whether it's ace Hollyleaf or lesbian Hollyleaf, I'm always happy to see a character that goes against the default of "everyone will likely have a heterosexual marriage and children"!
This is a great video, a good analysis, I love your voice and the art!
I personally really like *Hollyleaf x Fallenleaves* when she was at her lowest and needed someone to talk to he was their and listened and when she wanted to go back he let her go even though he knew he would be alone again and maybe it would work since I am sure ghost can’t have kits
I disagree, but I respect your opinion :)
there needs to be more aspec-like characters and friendship focused relationships in warriors. Almost every protagonist has a romance plot at some point in the books :/
I also like the idea of her not having a mate at all. I think we need more cats like that....
I don’t ship Hollyleaf with anyone. Hollyleaf doesn’t really feel like that type or gal. I also just want at least one cat in ThunderClan to not want a mate or kits. If you think about it, Hollyleaf is the only protagonist besides Shadowsight who never wanted a mate. Even medicine cat characters like Jayfeather and Alderheart fall in love with Half Moon and Velvet respectively. And then in Dawn of the Clans, Grey Wing gets 2 mates, Clear Sky gets 3, and Thunder still gets Violet Dawn. In total, they had 16 kits, which includes adopted kits. I’m not saying that I don’t like love interests in Warrior Cats, it’s just so often they are butchered beyond belief and the fact that Hollyleaf never went through this stupid arc, just makes me happy. Okay bye.
I’m reading your rewrite and I gotta say I’m really rooting for Hazeltail x Hollyleaf so far.
(I’m only on chapter 9 I think)
Edit: Ahhhhh darn! Jokes aside I’m loving your rewrite it’s AMAIZNG
Same
I'm interested if you could do a topic about this in the future: why did the three have to stay in Thunderclan? Yes they're Firestar's kin but by why did they need to be in Thunderclan?
We could hv had this whole story where leafpool left thunderclan to eaise her kits in windclan with crowfeather then lionblaze and jayfeather hv to sneak away at night to see dovewing. Like that lionblaze wont treat dovewing specialy in front of ivypool and she would never hv joined the dark forest and that would be intresting
I have this au where Crowfeather is told about the situation, brings the kits to WindClan, and lies that they were abadoned by their mother and he brought them to WindClan territory because he started to smell fox, and WindClan accepted the kits when no cat in the other clans reported any missing kits
because forbid any clan get more than one book of screentime, let alone a prophesied cat or prophecy. And if they do, *it probably has something to do with ThunderClan*
@@rowanheart8122 ooh yes, but like that they hv to find out about the prophecey and that they are kin with firestar somehow. Also the rivalry with breezepelt would either get softer or stronger since they might be raised as adoptive siblings, or crowfeather might spend more time with jay, lion and holly
@@honeybumblebee9274 Youve read avos and tbc correct?
HOLLYLEAF IS MY FAVOURITE CHARACTER TOO! I personally ship her with Fallen Leaves (although acearo Hollyleaf makes a lot of sense!) And I really like that she has a lot of ship options. I really think that the background apprentices in PO3 were really well written and probably the best written group of ThunderClan apprentices since the original arc - and the majority of them did seem to get along pretty well with Hollyleaf!
I agree, the Power of Three was probably the best arc
Hollyleafs my fav but I think she’s better off without a mate
I love that other people see hollyleaf as aroace!!
I never thought of her as someone who was interested in romance, even before I knew what being aroace was (or that I was aroace). she's been my favorite since fifth grade, I loved her relationship with fallen leaves just as friends and it never even occurred to me to read it romantically...
Also, while answering questions on her facebook, vicky holmes kinda refused to confirm whether or not hollyleaf & fallen leaves were mates, only noting that they had "a special bond." so it's really, really weird that the warriors website just... went and Did that with the family tree....
lol I love how in the list of Warriors ships you put "The Stick" for Jayfeather.
Ace HollyLeaf for life I agree~!
I think the story wouldve been much better uf sol successfully brainwashed hollyleaf because then the story has to focus on sol for more than just 2 books. Then also hollyleaf wouldnt kill ashfur so the next ark ashfur is able to make a group that is on his side for when he rebels it will be more than just ashfur.
Have you watched Tennelleflowers's rewriting the Power of Three video? He does a really good job changing the story to be better
@@yzmathehufflepuff6631 thank you for suggesting it. It was amazing
I am totally on the boat of Cult Of Asexual Hollyleaf. How did more people not see that in her?
I always liked imagining that Mousefur was ace too.
You should do a vid about "what if this character never existed" me and my friend always did that on school trips where we just say what would happen if that character was taken out of warriors existance and no one replaced them
Also this would probably need less planning or time to make
when this happens, my mind tends to make the story end up really dark. Or in any AU. My evil Graystripe AU kills off most of the main characters. In fact, the only main character that lives is Ivypool. Also I made Icewing eventually become leader of RiverClam because SHE'S ONE OF THE BEST CHARACTERS AND SHE'S SO UNDERRATED!
...ahem. Sorry about that xD
@@yzmathehufflepuff6631 i forgot what icewing did, i know she is the sister of foxleap but the erims make the background characters so forgetable
@@Candy-8448 That's Icecloud.
@@Candy-8448 No that's IceCLOUD. IceWING is a RiverClan warrior. She trained in the dark forest, was part of the prisoners of the Kin, and was just recently exiled from RiverClan because she disobeyed Mistystar in fighting the impostor. She's actually really interesting and one of the few background characters I've really hung onto
@@yzmathehufflepuff6631 my mistake.
First of all I love cult of asexual Hollyleaf. Her being my fav wrriors character, her feelings on having a family and a partner heavily resonated with young ace me.
However as a lot of asexuals, myself included still often form romantic relationships I do like to engage with shipping. My personal headcanon for Hollyleaf is asexual homoromantic, and I ship her Willowshine because I just think their dynamic is cute, though Cinder x Holly is a close second.
Also on the "friends to lovers"- best friends to lovers is the best trope, tested out in real life 100% recommend (that way you can see if they are good cuddle buddies early on).
iirc the warriors website family tree lists Fallen Leaves as her mate (which is... idk i just don't like that idea lol)
i like your aroace headcanon :)
I see Holly as a asexual lesbian in a romantic relationship with Willowshine in Starclan. Fight me lol
I won’t fight you I agree!
I adore your content- it would be cool if you had a discord where people could talk about this stuff!
While I also headcanon hollyleaf as ace, that doesn't mean she couldn't have a mate
Just means they wouldn't be having kittens if they could
Really liked your analysis of her though!
Me: she could be aromantic/asexual
Warriors shippers: no she obviously is just being difficult
Edit: I myself am ace so it would be great to get some representation
I'm demi, not ace, and I was always sad her not wanting kids/ a mate could have been a much bigger part of her storyline (And also part of my gripe that the biggest fix thee series "needs" is condensing, but I digress) It could have been her base urge for becoming a medicine cat- everyone else sees relationships and kids as natural and I don't, ergo I must be a medicine cat because that's the only role not having those are normal in. It could have been a growing source of isolation from her clan- being the only person not "Getting it" can be lonely in a way that's very unique, especially since its a hidden issue. and if if she becomes a warrior, she could have had a lingering doubt around the first point, and thinking her being "forced" into a warrior role was why she felt out of place- only to find out a medicine cat is her mom and no, being a medicine cat doesn't mean you are ace by default- And that she's not special like her siblings, and might in fact just have something wrong with her? (because their society doesn't have a concept of ace identities) Ooof. Thats 100% enough to send someone over the edge. I think that would have been a way more messy (In a good way) and interesting lead up to her killing ashfur than just "I want to be powerful and special," which is all her motivations really felt like to me.
The lingering idea that you don't belong, or something is wrong with you; juxtaposed with the idea that you are unique and special, can lead to some very dark and desperate places. It can lead to hypocrisy, it can leave you wide open for manipulation, it can make you do stupid shit entirely out of character to prove something to yourself.
Comparing her to someone like Ivypool- who straight up went to the dark side for cookies because she wanted to be as special as her sister and be a useful part of her community- I just feel like holly leaf got done dirty just because the characters didn't know what to do with her. If I could do anything with these books, It would probably have her fall from grace be about rejecting that part of her identity to her detriment, and her redemption also be centered on accepting that part of herself and returning to her clan knowing that her value isn't from some prophecy, or her ability to have kids- it's from her skills and her loyalty, and her friendship. Thats shes enough without being born with super powers or a mate and kids.
Cinderheart has more chemistry with Holly than Lion
she should have gotten together with Holly
while i am strongly on board the lesbian hollyleaf headcanon (mostly because i am a lesbian), aro hollyleaf is also valid as fuck and i will defend it to hell and back
(others have mentioned this but aromantic is the proper term for someone who doesn’t experience romantic attraction, not asexual)
I like how, even if none of them is your cup of tea, there was no hate spilled here either
hollyleaf is the asexual anime harem protagonist
I agree with you, aro/ace Holy!!! But I feel like she would have a life partner at some point
I'm glad HollyLeaf has friends
even tho I kinda hate her lol
Hollyleaf x Fallen Leaves in the afterlife.
But while alive, no one, as in my under-construction warriors fic verse she doesn't die in the DF battle, and actually ends up becoming Thunderclan leader. Plus she's already a mom, as I'm one of those people who thought it was too precious not to have her keep the fox cub from her novella
The fact that people ship Hollyleaf x Ivypool is just mind-blowing, I mean there is a literal entire arc around Dovewing and Ivypool being related to Hollyleaf-
You know...I don't think there's a single she-cat in Warriors that had a mate and then died without ever having had kits. There are only she-cats who died never having had either.
I guess Hollyleaf is both of our favourite characters. I like Fallen Leaves and Hollyleaf, but I see them as very close friends {Like Firestar and Graystripe}.
I agree, Sunnyfall. Though romances make for interesting dynamics, not every relationship, opposite genders or same, has to be a romance or mateship.
I . . . oh my gosh, I love this aro ace Holly headcanon!
Omg my fav is Hollyleaf- Lol! Also, new sub! ❤🎉
I like to think that cinderheart liked Hollyleaf more than a friend but holly didn’t really love her like that back. Pretty much the same thing but with fallen leaves aswell. I think that most of these ships with her were one sided crushes much like bluefur and thrushpelt
aroace hollyleaf supremacy
Shipping Fallen Leaves and Hollyleaf is cute. I don't think they were mates in their lives, but could be if Fallen Leaves finally leaves the tunnels...
I've also seen people shipping Squirrelflight with Tawnypelt, Stormfur, and Jessy, so Squirrelflight is tied with Hollyleaf I guess
There are quite a bit of ships I've seen that didn't get onto the list. Bramblestar has been shipped with Stormfur and Ashfur, Leafpool has been shipped with Nightcloud, Jayfeather has been shipped with Cinderheart, Puddleshine, Flametail, Fallen Leaves, and Kestrelflight, and Dovewing has been shipped with Briarlight.
so Squirrelflight has 7, Jayfeather has 9, Leafpool has 3, Dovewing has 2, and Bramblestar has 3
I am aroace, and I headcannon she is aroace (Asexual and aromatic), as she talks to Squirrelfight about how she does not want a mate
i like how on the list of names, the other characters just have up to 5 and then hollyleaf is just like *haha losers I have 7 >:)*
00:23 Jayfeather: Half Moon, Briarlight, Poppyfrost, THE STICK
For a moment whe you were talking about the ships, for some reason I thought you were talking about Dovewing. So uhh when it got to Ivypool-
I definitely agree that Ace Hollyleaf is the most *likely* scenario, but personally, I really like the HollyIvy ship. Just because the dynamic could have been so damn *good*. Though I can settle with Ace Hollyleaf absolutely.
I realized now that I know what Aromantic Asexuals are and realized I am myself, It makes sense why Hollyleaf was my favorite character and that she probably is too. I always saw her relationship with Ivypool as more of a mentor or role model relationship. That and they are related. Ew. She also hates Sol after she realizes he was using her.
Saying the stick isn't considered Jayfeathers mate in the list is a BOLD statement.
YOU PUT THE STICK IN THE LIST. RESPECT.
HELL YEAHH as a hugeass hollyleaf fan I also think she's aroace and dayumn she's so real for it
I shipped her with Fallen Leaves because a. I remember their dynamic better and b. There wouldn't have been any pressure about kits since they're on different planes of existence. Because even if she ended up with one of the she cats there could've been that kind of pressure or the subject being tackled very gracelessly and just annoying readers. Also I just like romances involving ghosts.
Me, who also headcanons Hollyleaf as ace watching this video :D
Don’t get me wrong I love Hollyleaf, I love her so much as to call her my #1 favourite character- well- why else would I have clicked on this I’m searching for Hollyleaf stuff heh, But I do like that she didn’t get a mate, honestly if anybody I’d ship her with willowshine- haha (Cinderholly is also good lol) - Like why else would she go all the way to riverclan to check up on them? Anyways, I do like it. She sounded petrified at the fact that all she cats are ‘meant’ to have kits, why, yes, she could have a mate and not have kits, but if the writers did, while she was alive, they most likely would’ve forgotten all about that talk, and proceed to give her kits, kinda ruining the thought she had as an apprentice/kit (I think)
I think her mate is FallenlEaves, but in the ofical warriors family tree, we can see one conection of mates! So yes they are mates, and you can serch this in the Warriors Family Tree
I like your video. My favourite ship is Sol x Hollyleaf because I love shipping protagonists with villians.
Hollyleaf gets all the women-
I love HollyLeaf so much! :3 thanks for making this video! :D
Jayfeather actually had a love intrest- Half Moon
i mean technically yea
I, too, fully support aromantic holly leaf. Btw, where do the cult meetings take place? I am heavily interested.
I mean, lionblaze was shipped with Berrynose, Ivypool with Breezeplet and Antpt, Dovewing with Briarlight, Alderheart with Puddleshine, Bramblestar with Ashfur and Stormfur and Jayfeather with Flametail and Kestrelflight. Just saying! This is if you wanted more examples
Definitely sol, but not sure they could have kits together considering he's a tortie, but his mother was also a tortie, so who knows.
Considering how many male Torties have kits in the books... its plausible.
@@olfersisapotato8970 uh? Other than sol and redtail, iam not remembering any other tortie toms.
@@TheAshfurApologist Sc leader after Blackstar whose name I can't remember
@@gliscorpropagandaaccount1764 um the SC leader after blackstar was rowanclaw. Who was a red tabby
@@TheAshfurApologist could've sworn he was a tortie
This is
A M A Z I N G
I personally headcannon Holly as lesbian/ace and in a poly relationship with Cinder and Willow. Where Lionblaze still loves Cinderheart, but she doesn’t return his feelings, however allows him to act as a surrogate father.
I'm asexual myself and hollyleaf is my favorite character so the thought of hollyleaf being asexual is just really nice👍🙂
NO WAIT TWIGBRANCH WITH 0 MATES IS NO ONE GONNA TALK ABOUT THAT...
Wouldn't it be aroace? Cause, asexual on its own is just the lack of sexual attraction, while adding aromantic into the mix would make the last of romantic attraction. The two aren't the same, and I really hope you don't think sexual and romantic attraction is the same thing. (-from a heteroromantic asexual)
Hazeltail, briarlight, honeytail (though still being in the nursery), firefern (not stormheart because I believe she is the cat most likely to be mistfeather's missing mate), ebonyclaw, icecloud, leafshade, hollytuft, honeyfur, random super edition background she cats, and probably more are some she cats that never take a mate or kits that we know of, and ones we don't think of. If hollytuft, honeyfur or leafshade had kits then I'm sorry I'm only on book 4 of avos.
“The stick.” DEAD
Aroace Hollyleaf my heart
Holly leaf is my fav too! my fav ship with her is fallen leaves.
I get Ace vibes from Mothwing, Leopardstar and mousefur but honestly? I don't imagine her aromantic just asexual. I think especially after the tunnels and lack of family I just saw Fallen Leaves become everything she needed. If nothing else I would see those two teetering on a Bluesyar and Thrushpelt level. Best friends that are extremely close. People can even assume closer than close. But not quite stepping over that last line. Almost Like Spottedleaf and Firestar
i know this was posted two years ago but the proper term would be aroace, since asexual is just the disinterest in intimate attraction. me and my boyfriend are both asexual but we still love each other! since holly isn't interested in romance or kits she would be aroace and not just asexual or aromantic
She added a notice about that in the description 😊
Hollyleaf Is Also My Favorite Character! But Then Again I’ve Only Read One Book Of Warrior Cats With Her In It..
Aromantic Asexual Hollyleaf is the only acceptable answer
I also headcanon Hollyleaf as aroace
I really like the Ace Hollyleaf idea. I think she'd be aroace and have a queerplatonic relationship with Fallen Leaves.
Oooooo I am absolutely adopting this headcanon :D
loooove her with willowshine
In my warriors au there is only one thing that I did to holly leaf, she went to the dark forest instead, escaped and annoys any clan (mostly the leader of said clan) by asking for death berries and why the dark forest isn’t so bad by saying it has hugs and cotton candy, jay feather is still my fave cat tho in the whole series
I absolutely LOOOOOVE Hollyleaf as an Asexual cat. But I still ship her with Fallen Leaves. Just because one is asecual doesn't mean that they automatically can not fall in love. Asexuality is quite a big umbrella of different catagories
Im a huge cinder x holly shipper, and I have a few fanfics where hollyleaf survived, but I do respect all of her other ships and understand she most likely wouldn’t have gotten a mate of the same gender even if she did live
I agree Holly shouldn't have a mate! I used to ship her a ton with Cinder, and then Ivy when she came "back to life" but honestly I really liked how she didn't have a mate, and I liked Ivypool a lot for the same reason until... yeah
Jayfeather also is aro/ace and no one can tell me otherwise. Hollyleaf I still could see being more lesbian, but I'm happy there's at least 1 she-cat who doesn't prioritize mates and kits and stuff
I head canon HollyLeaf and TwigBranch as ace
I didn't even know about some of these ships especially like the one with sol I don't ship hollyleaf with ivypool cinderheart sol hazel tail or icecloud there's no reason to ship her with these cats
I have an Aro/ace OC whose personality is heavily inspired on HollyLeaf
ivy/holly would be fine if there werent an entire prophecy about them being related
