How her front leg right leg got amputated is a long story, really. I'll have an entire project on her and all the other members of PowerClan later, but ya know, lazy butt right here.
Rushleaf was drowning. Drowning in her own tears. How could this happen? Why would this happen. Sparkclaw, her one true love, gone. Gone with another warrior. And now, they had birthed three beautiful kits, each with powers of their own. You see, Rushleaf lived in PowerClan, a clan filled with cats who were given gifts from StarClan. It's where Rushleaf and Sparkclaw had met when they were just apprentices, after all. And even then, Rushleaf, then Rushpaw, knew they were meant to be. But if StarClan had told Icerunner, Rushleaf's bestfriend and PowerClan's medicine cat, that it was a leaf and light would join in an embrace of friendship and love, how had Sparkclaw ended up with Wispystone? "Stupid StarClan." Rushleaf muttered to herself. Wispystone wrapped herself around her kits, and Sparkclaw laid his head on her back. The thunder howled, which probably meant Sparkclaw's emotions were acting up, since he had the gift of electricity. Maybe it was jealousy, maybe it was rage, maybe it was that her powers were having a negative affect on her emotions, but Rushleaf was sad, which is something she rarely felt. But you know what? She blamed it the rain. (//shot) Credit to @CoLLoRBLiND for the lineart and the AMAZING contest. I really had fun making this. PIXLR FOR LIIIIFFFEEE.
