naming system
Clan cats have a specific naming system. There is always a first half and a last half. The first half is something simple; usually something natural, such as a color, an animal or a plant. For example, "blue-", "spider-", "flower-" or "dove-". The first part never changes throughout the cat's life.
The last portion will change throughout the cat's life. While they are kits, they use the suffix "-kit". While they are apprentices (regular or medicine cat), they use the suffix "-paw". Warriors and medicine cats have various suffixes. They tend to be something that relates the first half to the cat, or something that fits the cat, such as "-claw", "-heart", "-flight" and "-nose". Deputies, elders and queens keep their warrior or medicine cat name. Leaders have names that end in "-star".
