Another piece from my Warriors nostalgia.

I'm mostly inspired by the imagery that comes to mind with their names. Leafpool's name; the peace and simplicity of a leaf gently falling into clear water, you know, that kinda stuff. Cinderpelt's name is interesting for multiple reasons. "Cinder", the dark coal left after a fire, also has super soft gray powder left behind, so I always imagine she has really light, soft fluffy fur in some places. Also, because I think of the "new growth", little sprouts that grow out of the cinders after a fire had destroyed something. How symbolic! Spottedleaf; I think of a forest floor in autumn, spotted with different colored leaves! And that's her pelt pattern!

I also wanted to see how these characters would look from my head, but Spottedleaf still looks a little different from how I imagine her? Hmm... Not to mention, a lot of these are favorite characters of mine. Leafpool, Yellowfang, and Cinderpelt. Aww~

Before anyone asks why I didn't include newer ones, 1; Noooo, you don't get any love from me, Jayfeather, you jerk. : | And 2; I stopped reading after the 3rd series so I don't know enough about the newer ones.
