SpottedFire

SpottedFire is the het ship between Spottedleaf and Firestar from the Warriors fandom.

Canon
When Firepaw joined ThunderClan, Spottedleaf, the current medicine cat, was one of the first cats who was kind to him and welcomed him to the Clan. Firepaw eventually developed a crush on the pretty tortoiseshell, and Spottedleaf returned his feelings. However, as a medicine cat, they couldn't become mates.

When ShadowClan attacked ThunderClan, Spottedleaf was tragically killed. After Spottedleaf's death, she refused to leave Firepaw (now Fireheart) behind, and often came to him in dreams, carrying prophecies.

Eventually, Fireheart began to fall for a she-cat named Sandstorm. Spottedleaf knew that Sandstorm was a good mate for her beloved; as she was a fierce warrior who would be able to challenge Fireheart. Fireheart was guilty about loving Sandstorm, but Spottedleaf came to him in a dream and told him to be with Sandstorm; she would be a good mate and a good mother. Fireheart (now Firestar) and Sandstorm became mates and had two kits, naming one of them Leafkit, after Leafstar (from Skyclan, Firestar's quest) or Spottedleaf or both.

The Ship in Spottedleaf's Purr-spective
"The truth is, I love Firestar now as much as I ever did, and I'll watch over him forever, knowing that he can never be mine. He belongs to Sandstorm and to ThunderClan. But my heart is his, and always will be."

- Spottedleaf Spottedleaf's Honest Answer, page 1

Although Firestar never knew Spottedleaf that well when she was alive, they began to grow affection for each other after Spottedleaf visits him from StarClan. Their relationship would never have worked out, however, as Sandstorm became Firestar’s mate and Spottedleaf was a medicine cat, and so was forbidden to take a mate. However, Spottedleaf watches over Firestar from StarClan until the day she dies in the battle with the Dark Forest.

Fanon
This ship is heavily disliked within the Warriors fandom, a main reason being the fact that Spottedleaf is much older than Firestar when they first meet. They also rarely conversed before Spottedleaf's death, being more or fewer acquaintances. Due to being such a disliked ship, it is not that popular in the fandom. Most prefer FireSand to SpottedFire, however, the ship still has its fans.

On AO3, SpottedFire is only Firestar's 7th most popular ship, and Spottedleaf's most popular ship.
