Warrior Cats (First)

Defend your clan, even with your life. You can make friends in other clans, but remember that your loyalty belongs to your clan, as you could face them in battle any day. Do not hunt or trespass into the territory of other clans without their consent. Veterans, queens, and cubs must be fed before apprentices and warriors unless they have permission. Apprentices may not eat until the veterans have been fed. If a warrior or apprentice is sick or injured, they may eat while the veterans, queens, and cubs are eating. The prey are hunted to be eaten. Thank StarClan for their lives. A hatchling must be at least six moons old to become an apprentice. When an apprentice becomes a warrior, he must spend a night of vigil without speaking, the night after he is named a warrior. A warrior cannot be a lieutenant without having had at least one apprentice. The lieutenant will become leader when his predecessor retires or dies. When the lieutenant dies or retires, the new one must be chosen before midnight. Clan Assemblies are held on full moons under a truce that lasts that night. There must be no clashes between clans. Scent markings and boundaries should be patrolled daily. Challenge any cats that cross them. No cat should ignore a kitten when it is suffering or in danger, whether it belongs to another clan or your own. The word of the clan leader is the warrior code. An honorable warrior does not need to kill another cat to win his own battles, unless he is outside the warrior code or in self-defense. A warrior rejects the comfortable life of a domestic cat

STAR CLAN

Ancient sages StarClan is the home of all the ancestral spirits of all warriors. When a cat dies, a member of StarClan visits them, usually a cat the warrior had known before. This cat guides the warrior to StarClan.

StarClan is represented by the Silver Cloak (a cluster of stars shining in the sky). It has members from all Clans; however, the spirits remain loyal to their Clans and watch over the cats belonging to their Clan.

Cats from all clans look to the sky and ask StarClan for help, protection, and guidance

This cat leads the clan. They are granted nine lives by StarClan, which they undertake by traveling to the Moonstone or the Moonpool with one of their apprentices. They also often go to share dreams with StarClan. They have the duty of organizing their clan according to the warrior code. They choose the clan names, and the clan gathers at the Four Trees every full moon. All leaders have the prefix "Star." Their word is law, and they are above all others, so they always try to do what is best for their clan.

LIEUTENANT: He is second in command. He assists the leader and is in charge of organizing hunting and surveillance patrols. He will become leader when the current leader dies.

This cat assists the leader in organizing the clan, chooses patrols, and maintains good communication with them. They represent the leader and, if the leader loses all nine lives, become the new leader. They are the most respected cat in the clan after the leader, along with the medicine cat.

VETERANS: Elder warriors and queens who have retired from active duty. They are cared for and respected by the entire clan for their wisdom and experience.

Former warriors and queens now retired, the apprentices take care of them and the clan holds them in great respect for the time of service they rendered to the clan.

QUEENS: Warriors who are expecting cubs or who have already given birth and are breastfeeding them.

Pregnant cats or cats caring for kittens. They live in the nursery. This also includes cats that cannot or do not want to hunt and dedicate themselves to caring for the kittens so that other queens can hunt. This is the case of Dalia.

Kittens: The youngest cats in the clan. They live in the nursery and have not yet begun their training.

The cubs are the smallest. They are very mischievous, which sometimes annoys the warriors and veterans. They are less than six moons old. They live in the nursery until they reach six moons. Their prefix is ​​usually "Small," and they cannot hunt or perform similar tasks.

Apprentices: Cats older than six moons who are trained by a warrior or medicine man to learn hunting techniques and the warrior code.

They are over six moons old and train to become warriors. The leader chooses their mentors, with whom they will train for several moons until they are worthy of becoming warriors. Their prefix is ​​usually "Claw."

WARRIORS: The adult members of the clan. Their role is to hunt, defend the territory, and protect the most vulnerable.

They are kitten-free cats. They have proven their worth to the clan by following the warrior code to the letter and pledge to serve their clan even at the cost of their lives. Their warrior name is chosen by the leader based on their characteristics, though they typically include prefixes such as Cloud, Heart, Mantle, Claw, Fur, Wing, or Stream.

They don't belong to any clan but they are part of history; we can find solitary ones, outlaws, and house cats.

In Warriors, when an apprentice disobeys the warrior code or fails to fulfill their duties, the leaders or mentors apply disciplinary punishments. The most common punishments for an apprentice are: Unpleasant tasks: Assigning heavy or disgusting chores, such as thoroughly cleaning the beds of veterans, changing the dry moss, or removing ticks. Verbal reprimands: A serious reprimand from their mentor or the Clan leader in front of their peers. Temporary suspension: They are prohibited from participating in patrols or training, which delays their evaluation to become warriors.

How is an apprentice actually punished? When an apprentice seriously breaks a rule, the leader or mentor doesn't permanently forbid them from eating, but they do impose physical and humiliating punishments within the camp. The most common punishments include: Dirty chores: Cleaning ticks off veterans, changing the moss on their beds, or cleaning the elders' quarters. Vigil: Staying awake all night watching the camp alone or next to the veterans' moss. No-go: They are not allowed to participate in patrols or leave camp for training until they have served their punishment.

If a cat disobeys the warrior code, it may be stripped of its duties, whether leader, warrior, healer, or lieutenant.

General They can be scolded, given apprentice tasks, or given unpleasant tasks. Exile In severe cases, the cat may be expelled from the clan. This has happened several times, and some examples are: Leopardstar exiled Graystripe from RiverClan because he refused to attack his former ThunderClan mates. Firestar exiled Zebrado for poisoning Sorrel. Blue Star exiled Tiger Claw for treason and murder.

Advertisement Exceptions Leaders accompanied by cats heading to the Moonstone or Moonpool are allowed to cross the territory of other clans to reach their destination. At the lake, cats can travel into the territory of other clans as long as they are two tails away from the lake. Cats may travel to other territories if they have something to report or need to ask for help. The code is flexible regarding challenging leadership. Cats may challenge a weak or cruel leader if their clan is in danger, and if the leadership threatens the clan.[1] Additional rules Healers cannot have partners or puppies. The pups must stay at the camp until they are apprentices, and they are not allowed to hunt. The safety of the clan is more important than the safety of a cat.[2] Clans should not unite to expel another clan.[3] Clans should not force another clan to share territory.[4] Enemy patrols should not attack the cats if they are on a mission where all four clans have agreed.[5] Cats cannot eat when they go to the Moonstone or the Moonpool to talk to StarClan. When a cat hunts prey, it cannot eat until it brings the food back to the clan. Mating with cats from another clan is prohibited.
