A WARRIOR LIFE CYCLE

   First you are a kit waiting to be 6 months old. You have to stay in the nursery with your mother until you become an apprentice. Your name has the word 'kit' at the end of it. (Poppykit, Hollykit, Birchkit, etc.,)

   Now you are 6 months old. Your leader gives you your new apprentice name and a mentor. Your new name has the word 'paw' at the end of it. (Dustpaw, Sandpaw, Firepaw, etc.)

   When your mentor thinks that you have learned the ways of a warrior, he or she tells the leader, and if he/she agrees, you get a warrior ceremony. The leader gives you a warrior name and you have to sit vigil and guard the camp for one night. Your new name has a random word attached to the end of it. (Honeyfern, Lionblaze, Sorreltail, etc)

   When you feel like your too old to do any more warrior stuff, you can join the elders. You keep your warrior name, but you eat before any one else. Only elders bury the cats who have died.

SPECIALITIES

   If your lucky enough while your a warrior, your leader may to become the deputy of the clan. Now you have to take care of patrols and stuff. Other cats have to obey you except the leader.

   When your leader dies, you become leader. You go to the Moonstone or Moonpool to receive your 9 lives and your new name. Your new name has 'star' attached to the end of it. (Bluestar, Tallstar, Firestar, etc,)

   If you want you can take the path of a medicine cat. You treat for the sick, but you cant have kits. You don't focus on fighting or hunting, but you memorize herbs and their uses. Every half a month, you go to the Moonstone or Moonpool with the other med. cats to share dreams with StarClan.
