General Description
Spruceleaf is a tortoiseshell she-cat with pale green eyes.

History
Spruceleaf was Tigerleap's loyal mate, and she gave birth to his kits for TacoClan. She didn't know that he only wanted more warriors for the Clan, and that he didn't love her in return.

When Tigerleap saw that they were weak, sickly-looking kits, he was angry, and wanted to have the kits killed. He bartered with a pack of wolves led by Soul to have them killed, and when the dogs invaded, they were slaughtered. Spruceleaf became pregnant right away with another litter of his kits afterward, but the pregnancy was equally bad, and she gave birth to another litter of kits that did not please Tigerleap.

He had the camp burned down to a crisp, and Spruceleaf, unwilling to abandon her dead kits who were trapped in the middle of the blaze, leaped back in to die with them. She suffocated from the smoke, leaving her son Flamepaw on his own.

Not known to her, Sootkit was taken by the wolf pack, and taught the language of a wolf instead of cat. Only two of her kits survived to adulthood.
