Hollyleaf helps Ivypool and Blossomfall find their way out of the tunnels and reveals her identity. She is persuaded by Lionblaze to return to ThunderClan. While Leafpool and Squirrelflight are overjoyed that she's alive, her brothers feel hurt that they were led to believe that she was dead for so long. Many cats doubt her loyalty, and while she tries to reveal that she is Ashfur's killer, Brambleclaw instead lies to the Clan about his death. Hollyleaf prepares ThunderClan for WindClan's surprise attack by teaching them how to fight underground. During the battle, she confronts Sol and nearly kills him, but lets him go. In the battle against the Dark Forest, Hollyleaf saves Ivypool from Hawkfrost.

She is horrified when Ashfur threatens to tell the truth and murders him to keep him quiet. Wracked with guilt, Hollyleaf reveals the secret at a Gathering. She then threatens to kill Leafpool with deathberries, but is convinced not to. Pursued by her brothers, she runs into the tunnels, which collapse behind her.

Hollykit is the daughter of Squirrelflight and Brambleclaw, along with her brothers Lionkit and Jaykit. She is shown to be curious and logical as a kit, and she initially becomes a medicine cat apprentice under Leafpool, taking the name of Hollypaw. During her apprenticeship, she befriends Willowpaw, the RiverClan medicine cat apprentice, but realizes she is not cut out to be a medicine cat. Hollypaw is then apprenticed to Brackenfur and becomes close friends with Cinderpaw. Hollypaw believes strongly in the warrior code and follows it very closely, disapproving of Lionpaw meeting the WindClan apprentice, Heatherpaw, in secret. Hollypaw and her siblings travel to the mountains to help the Tribe of Rushing Water fight off intruding rogues, and Jaypaw tells Lionpaw and Hollypaw of a prophecy involving them. Hollypaw stresses about the prophecy, wondering what her powers are and how they can be used to preserve the warrior code. She is the first to see Sol, who she and her brother believe can help them with the prophecy. She is later made a warrior alongside Lionpaw and Cinderpaw, receiving the name Hollyleaf. After Sol convinces ShadowClan to stop believing in StarClan, Hollyleaf helps to create a fake sign from StarClan, but later becoming a real sign when StarClan cats appear. After a fire starts near ThunderClan's camp, Squirrelflight, Hollyleaf, Lionblaze, and Jayfeather are trapped; however, Ashfur blocks the way out and threatens to kill the siblings as revenge for Squirrelflight loving Brambleclaw instead of him. Squirrelflight reveals that Hollyleaf, Lionblaze, and Jayfeather are not her kits, and Hollyleaf resents Squirrelflight for having lied. When it is discovered that her biological parents are Leafpool and Crowfeather, Hollyleaf is devastated.

Hollyleaf is a slender, long-legged, black she-cat with soft and long fur. She has green eyes, and a bushy tail.

Hollyleaf was a ThunderClan warrior that served under Firestar's leadership in the lake territories. Hollykit was raised by Squirrelstar and Brambleclaw alongside her brothers, Lionkit and Jaykit. Initially, Hollypaw trained as a medicine cat apprentice with Leafpool as her mentor; however, after realizing that she wasn't quite cut out to be a medicine cat, she chose to become a warrior apprentice, with Brackenfur becoming her new mentor. Hollypaw soon learned of a prophecy that concerned her, Jaypaw, and Lionpaw.

After becoming a warrior, Hollyleaf and her siblings were cornered in a fire by Ashfur, and in order to save them, Squirrelflight revealed that they were not her kits. In the wake of discovering that Leafpool and Crowfeather were her true parents, Hollyleaf killed Ashfur to keep him from telling the Clans, but frustrated that nothing had changed, she ultimately revealed the secret herself at a Gathering. Thereafter, Hollyleaf disappeared into the tunnels and became close with Fallen Leaves; however, after being believed to be dead, she returned to her Clan.
