#because very easy rewrite thing to do: her spirit is trapped in the tunnels with fallen leaves. the df-starclan war starts. she comes back

like i think the most interesting part of hollyleaf to me is not her stupid 'redemption' in oots or anything to do with the prophecy or tunnels at all really i just love the drama of her fretting about how she could be rogueborn and how her birth was a mistake and all her weird self-flagellation eventually just culminating in extremely shaky and frantic murder, both with ashfur and leafpool as an attempted one. and then she practically kills herself by running away and refusing to deal with the consequences of anything. its literally perfect i wish she never returned i think tragic stagnation is the only thing she should leave behind
