Hello! This is a training guide for Topsy-Turvy. This idea has been stolen from like half of TFCRP, and I used more than ten projects as references to create this. Uhhh so credit goes to all of you. :) Though we may not actually rp all of this, I would like for it to be canon :) Moon one --- Overall summary -> Learn about Topsy-turvy and territory tour --- - Get to know Topsy-turvypaw Dusky will learn about Tospy-turvypaw. They'll learn how she likes to learn, her boundaries, what shelikes and dislikes, etc so he can do a better job training her. - Territory tour Dusky will take Topsy-turvypaw on a tour of the WindClan territory and teach her about the dangers of the desert. He will point out landmarks and other tips and tricks to keep your bearings. - Get to know other apprentices and move into den Dusky will expect Topsy-turvypaw to get settled in the apprentice den, and won't assign much work in hopes that Topsy-turvy will spend time meeting and becoming friends with the other apprentices. Moon two --- Overall summary -> hunting basics and manners --- - Basic hunting skills Dusky will teach Topsy-turvy the basics of hunting, and he'll figure out ways to adapt basic hunting techniques so Topsy-turvy can use them. They will possibly do group training sessions. - Warrior code + manners Dusky will teach Topsy-turvy about the importance of upholding the warrior code, respecting elders, listening to the leader, being polite, etc. - Apprentice tasks Topsy-turvy will have to complete basic chores, such as caring for the elders. Dusky will make sure that she understands that the clan is a unit, and they all must work together to help the clan members that can no longer help themselves. - Other life skills Dusky will teach Topsy-turvy about the importance of being fair and making good decisions. They will also teach Topsy-turvy about the values of certain things, along with how to bargain for valuable items. Moon three --- Overall summary -> Fighting and other clans --- - Fighting basics Dusky will adapt fighting moves for Topsy-turvy, and likely have joint training sessions so she can learn multiple possible ways of fighting without using her front legs. - Desert training Topsy-turvy will take a class from the medicine cats on desert safety while Dusky sits in on it. - Knowledge on the other clans Topsy-turvy will start going on border patrols. Dusky will use this as an opportunity to educate her on the topic of the other clans. - Check-in Dusky will ask Topsy-turvy what she thinks of her apprenticeship and what Dusky can do to be a better mentor. He will also figure out what she needs to work on. He will adjust further lessons to fit her needs. Moon four --- Overall summary -> Advanced hunting + fighting, self-sufficiency, and tracking --- - Advanced hunting and fighting Dusky will work his way up to the harder fighting moves and catching larger prey. He will also revisit the easier moves to make sure that Topsy-turvy can keep up. - Independence + self care Dusky will teach Topsy-turvy how to be self-sufficient and able to take care of herself. At the same time, Dusky will also teach her that it's okay to rely on others. - Flower lesson Dusky will likely have Bluebonnettwist teach Topsy-turvy about flowers and weaving. - Tracking Dusky will teach Topsy-turvy how to track prey and cats. He will do this by leaving scent trails for her to follow. He'll hope for her to be able to track scents at least decently by the end of moon four. Moon five --- Overall summary -> Swimming + going over skills --- - pre-assesment Dusky will have Topsy-turvy take a mock assessment so they know what topics she needs to put more practice into. - Swimming Though Dusky has aquaphobia from their kithood, he'll teach Topsy-turvy the basics of swimming. He'll make sure that she's good enough to not drown, but they won't be teaching her to be an olympic swimmer or anything like that. - Check-in Dusky will make sure that Topsy-turvy is doing alright, both emotionally and physically. He'll also want to make sure that his lessons are enjoyable Moon six --- --- - Games and fun Dusky will want to make Topsy-turvy's final moon as an apprentice enjoyable, so he'll spend only a small amount of time actually making her work. He'll encourage her to spend time with other apprentices and not devote her time to studying. - Assessment! Dusky will have a multi-part assessment for Topsy-turvy. Part a) Decision making - Topsy-turvy will be faced with multiple scenarios and have to choose how she would deal with each situation. Part b) Tracking - Topsy-turvy will have to follow scent trails throughout the territory. This will also be a test of how well she can navigate the territory. Part c) Hunting - Topsy-turvy will be given a time limit and judged by how much prey she can catch during that window Part d) Fighting - Topsy-turvy will have to show her skill in combat to pass this test
