┏━━━━━━━━━━༻❁༺━━━━━━━━━━┓ Never read warrior cats? Well here's a quick guide I made that should explain the basics! Let me know if I forgot anything! ┗━━━━━━━━━━༻❁༺━━━━━━━━━━┛ ┌❀*̥˚ Ranks ➥ Leader: The Leader is the person who is in charge of the clan. They have their own den and they are the cat who calls all the meetings in the clans. They have the suffix of 'star' and all leaders are given 9 lives when they start being a leader. ➥ Deputy: The deputy is the second in command who will take over when the leader loses all their lives or has retired. The deputy is chosen by the leader and they are generally in charge of sending out patrols and such. ➥ Medicine Cat: The medicine cat is the cat who is the healer of clans. These cats also have the strongest connection with Starclan, and can often receive omens and prophecies. ➥ Medicine Cat Apprentice: These cats are like normal apprentices, but are training to become a medicine cat. ➥ Warrior: Warriors make up the majority of the clan. They have completed their apprentice training and were appointed as warriors by their leader. Their suffix is chosen by the leader. ➥ Apprentice: Apprentices are warriors in training. They have the suffix of 'paw'. These cats are over 6 moons of age and train under the supervision of a cat that has been assigned to train them (their mentor). They generally pass a test to become warriors. ➥ Queens: Queens are she-cats who are expecting kits, or have recently had kits. They generally stay in the nursery and take cake of their kits until they reach 6 moons of age. Some she-cats also stay in the nursery as 'queens' after their kits have been apprenticed to help with the other queen's kits. ➥ Kits: Kits are kits under 6 moons. Their suffix of their names is 'kit'. The prefix of their name is decided by their parents, and they pretty much keep this prefix for the rest of their life. These kits become apprentices at 6 moons. ➥ Elders: Elders are warriors that have served the clan for a very long time and are now retired. They are well respected and are seen as wise. ❀*̥˚┘ ══ ❀•°❀°•❀ ══ ┌❀*̥˚ Cats Outside the Clans ➥ Loners: Loners are cats that live outside of the clans. They generally live alone and are not hostile towards clan cats. ➥ Kittypets: Kittypets are cats that live with twolegs (humans). ➥ Rogues: Rogues are cats that live outside of the clans, and sometimes live in groups. They are often hostile towards the clan cats. ❀*̥˚┘ ══ ❀•°❀°•❀ ══ ┌❀*̥˚ Religion ➥ Starclan: In Warrior Cats, when a cat dies (if the cat is not evil or something) the cat goes to Starclan. It's sort of the equivalent of cat heaven. Cats in Starclan sometimes communicate with the living cats of the clans, they generally do this by visiting the dreams of living cats and giving out vague, cryptic and confusing omens and prophecies. Cats generally fade away once they have been forgotten. ➥ Dark forest: In warrior cats if your cat dies and HAS been particularly evil, they go to the dark forest, which is a miserable place also known as 'The Place of No Stars'. These cats can also visit living cats in their dreams, though rarely with good intent. ➥ Medicine Cats: Medicine cats are the clans' main way of communicating with Starclan! Medicine cats can talk to Starclan cats when Starclan cats visit them in their dreams, but specifically Medicine cats communicate with Starclan cats at half-moon meetings ❀*̥˚┘ ══ ❀•°❀°•❀ ══ ┌❀*̥˚ Other Vocabulary ➥ Twoleg: A human ➥ Kittypet: A pet cat (cat that is owned by humans) ➥ Mouse-brain: Not very smart ➥ Crow-food: Rotting Food ➥ Newleaf: Spring ➥ Greenleaf: Summer ➥ Leaf-fall: Autumn ➥ Leaf-bare: Winter ➥ Monster: Cars ➥ Thunderpath: Road ❀*̥˚┘ ══ ❀•°❀°•❀ ══ ┌❀*̥˚ Meetings ➥ Gatherings: Every full moon, all the clans meet together for a meeting, under a truce, meaning none of the cats may fight during the gathering. ➥ Half-moon meetings: Every half-moon, medicine cats will eat at the 'moonpool', 'moonstone' or wherever the cats go to communicate with the dead, typically Starclan. ❀*̥˚┘ ══ ❀•°❀°•❀ ══ ┌❀*̥˚ Questions? ➥ Ask them in the comments! ❀*̥˚┘
