so i noticed in the allegiances one of Leopardstar's siblings was saved. Will she be like Leopardstar?
Yes! Waterfern is Leopardstar's sister who I saved because Riverclan has a SHOCKINGLY shallow genetic pool. So many cats just appear and disappear, and though I will occasionally have characters with No Discernable Heritage, Riverclan has it ticked up to a degree that is painful.
Waterfern is a major character in Leopardstar's Strength, a shy trans molly who only starts finding her feet when she stops trying to emulate her sister. Leopardstar will tell you that she is weak, but as we know, Leopardstar is wrong, and though her Super Edition is guided by her arrogant thoughts, you physically see that Waterfern is happy. She is loved. She really likes being "outdoorsy" (as much as a Clan Cat can be) and has some friends, namely Reedtail and Lilystem.
She builds connections where Leopardstar burns them down.
She is extremely uncomfortable with Tigerclan, and is terrified of what will happen to everyone around her, opposing her sister. She is probably the only cat who got a genuine good thing out of Tigerclan. She meets Tangleburr, daughter of Lizardstripe who enjoys being posted in Riverclan's camp. The 2 hate what is going on and decide to help the imprisoned cats, freeing Mistyfoot, Perchcloud, Silverstream, Featherpaw and Stormpaw with an elaborate little trick.
Tangleburr stays in Riverclan after everything falls apart, and is Waterfern's mate! They have 2 litters of their own, the first being only child Mintwhisker (Mintfur RC), and the second, much later litter being Flykit, Blackwater, and Whistlekit. Flykit and Whistlekit were stillborn, but Blackwater makes it! Whereas Leopardstar fell in love with Sunfish, and never got over the love she had for her, despite Sunfish never being interested in her that way.
Waterfern is very much not like her bigger, meaner sister, and that makes her a very happy cat.
