uh mousethorn is ok

spin this wheel for a prefix, and then spin this wheel for a suffix

as a bonus you can spin this wheel to find ur role in the clan (note: spin twice if you get apprentice)

Honor Name AU

This is the fleshed out version of the "Cats are named based on cats they adored or their achievements" I had in my AUs part two post.

Basics

In this AU cats name themselves based on the above. More broadly it can be anything in their life, but it's mainly those two, and more often cats who were close to them. So, at warrior ceremonies they get to choose their suffix. They'll only change their prefix if the name doesn't make sense (like, Robinrunning would sound odd), and will probably keep their old prefix as the suffix.

If a cat dies young, they will be renamed out of sorrow and respect for their death. Since they can't choose their name, the suffix will most often be what they died to (badger, claw, cough, etc). Don't want to name them after someone they hate by accident. If not that, it's a very obvious achievement, though dying young they probably don't have one

These chosen suffixes/prefixes are called honor words

Some cats might use cats they absolutely hate for their honor word, in a sort of spiteful or reminding way. Like, "I'ma make this part of my name to make sure I don't fuck up."

This could totally get confusing or repetitive and that's kinda rad

Ceremonies

Normal, after the apprentice says "I do"

"Then by the power of StarClan I give you your warrior name. (Apprentice) has chosen (new name), with (honor word) for (reason). StarClan honors your (virtues) and we welcome you as a full warrior of (clan)"

Young cat has died

"This (kit/apprentice) has gone through trial that took their life to soon. In honor of them, I give them the name of (new name) with (honor word) for (reason). We honor (new name)'s (vitures) and we welcome them as a warrior in StarClan."

Clan Answers:

🗣️ Which cat is the biggest gossip in the clan?

Absolutely Mousethorn and Beechbriar! I mean, just look at this picture of them from when they were apprentices. They're definitely talking smack about some cat :b

The catch is, Beechbriar takes her position as a mediator very seriously and would never spread around rumors or sensitive information, so she only talks gossip with Mousethorn, who is sworn to secrecy. Now.. if the gossip originates from Mousethorn and not Beechbriar... her other siblings and a few of her close friends will also hear about it!

👑 Your leader and deputy disappear into thin air, who takes over?

If both Fawnstar and Alderfur go poof, Sanddapple would step in to lead the Clan. He's one of the senior warriors and as Fawnstar's mate he already kinda has a position of power, and the rest of the Clan would support him wholeheartedly. Sandstar would then choose Haybrook as his deputy, another cat that is a well respected senior warrior with plenty of experience and a cool head.

For me: 💘 Any cats you ship? Any non-canon / crackship / oddball pairs?

I ship Stinkbutt and Stumpy! They only have platonic feelings for each other in game, but I think they would make a really cute couple :3 I also ship a bunch of future couples.. but I will not spoil any :3c

❤️ Which character does the audience seem to love that you weren’t expecting?

This one I already answered previously, but I'll also say I am surprised Stumpy has been getting a lot more love as well. I can understand it though with what he's been through lately!

Thank you so much for all the questions @boughclan-clangen you’re so cool <33 Answered from the ask game found here

[ask-shadowclan]

Interesting to note, all current kits and apprentices are either adopted or not "pure" Shadowclan and are the first generation to be born post interclan relationship law, and now their old enough to meet the other clans at the Gatherings, Kits what do you feel about your heritages and how you are perceived by others.
