'''LeafClan belongs to THIS feathery child. Please do not make a LeafClan cat without her permission. The RP has not been created yet, but will be soon. '''

Rules

 * 1) Do not insert half-clan cats into the allegiances as LeafClan is extremely strict about the purity of their clan. Half-clan cats are EXTREMELY rare, and therefore must be extremely well-thought out, with good reason for being in LeafClan. However, LeafClan does allow sensible, deserving kittypets.
 * 2) Ask another user if you want their act to be mates with yours, unless you own both.
 * 3) Do not add a cat to the allegiances if you're not going to be active with him/her, please.
 * 4) I allow people to play both an apprentice and their mentor-but if you can, find another mentor/apprentice for your OC, because it's so much more fun!

Territory
LeafClan cats live in the deepest, most secluded area of the Silver Forest- where many kinds of trees grow and the shadows of leaves dance on the forest floor. Pine needles sparkle against overgrown earth, leaves are smashed against the ground from playful kits running across them. It is a peaceful place... but eerie, as well. Perhaps it is the eyes that watch from the trees, or the dead silence that echoes in certain parts of the forest... most clan cats dislike visiting LeafClan territory because of the utter creepiness that sometimes ebbs from it. In the trees, great claw marks trail down, and up higher, hollows stuffed with feathers and willow leaves are sometimes visible- you can see the sharp clawmarks etched into the branches, and though every cat knows LeafClan has many members, it seems as if you are completely alone... except for the sharp stares that prick at your pelt, like a million tiny fleas biting into your flesh... LeafClan cats rarely venture out of Silver Forest, except for a rare meeting with the other clans.

Description
LeafClan cats are lithe, a bit on the spindly side- some clan cats jokingly say that LeafClan cats are as breakable and delicate as the twigs that scatter their forest floor, but LeafClan cats themselves think that they are nimbler and quicker than some other clans *coughcoughThunderClanandRiverClancoughcough*. LeafClan cats come in many pelt colors and lengths, but most commonly seen are short-furred tortoiseshells, or brown or ginger tabbies. LeafClan cats have quite long limbs that are well muscled, but it does give them an odd look of a very small cat perched atop comically long legs, another reason other clans joke about "StickClan" or "TwigClan".

Hunting Techniques & Diet
These ninjas of the forest eat mostly birds, eggs, and the occasional squirrel or chipmunk. They are disgusted by the idea of hunting on the forest floor- it's a fine place for kits to play and elders to rest, but what self-respecting cat would catch their prey on the ground for StarClan's sake? That is the hunting way of a fox-heart, according to LeafClan. Jumping from branch to branch, searching for eggs in the highest tree tops- that is the way of a LeafClan warrior. However, prey can be sparse in Silver Forest, so this one of the reasons LeafClan cats are so lean and scrawny.

Battle Techniques
LeafClan cats are the ninjas of the clans- quick, silent, a bit sneaky. LeafClan cats are often judged as being "mouse-hearts", "dishonorable", or "sly little cowards". LeafClan cats do not think this of themselves- in fact, they believe they are simply the smartest cats in all the clans- and when you see a petite LeafClan cat next to any other warrior, you'd probably think the same. They swoop from the trees like graceful eagles, pouncing on their confused opponents- they are known for spying on their opponents moons before attacking, watching their techniques and sleep patterns.
