| Leader |
- the cat who leads the Clan; their names always end with -star; new leaders take a trip to the
Moonstone or Moonpool. There, they receive their nine lives and name, always ending with -star from StarClan. Tigerstar, Firestar, Tallstar,
Leopardstar, Bluestar, and Onestar are a few examples. |
| Deputy |
- the cat who is second-in-command to the Clan leader; the deputy is in charge of organizing patrols and
hunting parties, and succeeds the leader after he/she loses all nine lives from battle, age, or sickness; in the case that the deputy dies, the leader
must appoint a new deputy before moonhigh, or midnight. Graystripe, Brambleclaw, Russetfur, Ashfoot and Mistyfoot are examples of
deputies.
|
| Medicine cat |
- a cat who is trained specifically in the ways of healing (but that does not mean they can't fight);
receives messages from StarClan and interprets them; medicine cats stand outside of the rivalries between the Clans. A medicine
cat will heal an injured cat and can order even the leader what to do. Each Clan has either one or two medicine cats; they are
not allowed to take a mate or have kits (however Yellowfang was the mother of Brokenstar a.k.a. Brokentail); sometimes, fully
trained warriors can become an apprentice to a medicine cat. Barkface, Littlecloud, Mothwing, Leafpool, Runningnose, Cinderpelt,
Yellowfang, and Spottedleaf are examples of medicine cats . |
| Warrior |
- a cat (tom or she-cat without kits) trained in the ways of combat; warriors defend, hunt, and fight for their
Clan; they also are in charge of training apprentices to become warriors; a warrior may only have one apprentice at a time, although they may
supervise the training of apprentices lacking mentors. Crowfeather, Webfoot, Blackclaw, Rowanclaw, and Squirrelflight are examples of warriors.
|
| Queen |
- a she-cat expecting or nursing kits; they stay in the nursery until their kits become
apprentices(Squirellflight left to assume warrior duties when the kits were weaned), then return to their warrior duties. In the first books in
theOriginal Series, however, it was used to describe all she-cats.Tallpoppy, Brindleface, Goldenflower, Sorreltail, and Frostfur are examples of
queens.
|
| Apprentice |
- a cat who, at six moons old, begins training to become a warrior or medicine cat; they train daily to
practice battle and hunting skills, and also care for the elders; one task they usually do is fetch bedding; their names end with -paw; they become
warriors when their mentor and leader feel that they are ready. Berrypaw,Willowpaw,Hazelpaw,and Jaypaw are examples of apprentices.
|
| Kit |
- a kitten, not yet old enough to be an apprentice (six moons old); they are not allowed to hunt or leave the
camp alone; very young kits do not normally leave the nursery, however, older kits are allowed to do so; their names always end with -kit. Icekit
and Foxkit are examples of kits.
|
| Elder |
- a retired warrior, queen, medicine cat, or deputy; elders are usually cared for by apprentices. Patchpelt,
Smallear, Dappletail, Halftail, Heavystep, Mousefur, Longtail, and One-eye are examples of elders.
