When a kit turns into and apprentice, or apprentice turns into a Warrior, the leader need to know what to say, right?
Kit >> Apprentice
Leader: "All cats old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath the (meeting place) for a clan meeting. (Kit's name) this is a proud day for (Clan name), by naming apprentices we show (Clan name) will survive and remain strong. (Kit's name), from now on until you receive your warrior name you will be known as (Apprentice name)."
"(Mentor's name), you are ready for an apprentice, you will be(Apprentice's name) mentor. I know you will pass on your (two special traits) to (Kit's name), and teach (him/her/) the skills that will make (him/her/) a brave warrior of (Clan name)."
The new mentor then touches noses with the new apprentice.
Apprentice >> Warrior
Leader: "Let all cats old enought to catch their own prey gather here under the (name of meeting area) for a Clan meeting! I, (leader's name), leader of (Clan name), call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on (these/this) apprentice(s). (She/he/they) have trained hard to understand the way of your noble code, and I commend (her/him/them) to you as warrior(s) in (her/him/their) turn. (Apprentice's name), do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend this Clan, even at the cost of your life?"
Apprentice: "I do."
Leader: "Then by the power of StarClan I give you your warrior name. (apprentice's name), from this moment you shall be known as (new warrior name). StarClan honors your (two special characteristics that the cat has) and we welcome you as a full member of (Clan name)."
Warrior >> Elder
Leader: "Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey join beneath the (meeting place) for a clan meeting. (Warrior name).
(Warrior's name), is it your wish to give up the name of a warrior and go to join the elders?"
Warrior: "It is."
Leader: "Your Clan honors you and all the service you have given us, I call upon StarClan to give you many seasons of rest."
The leader then rests his or her tail on the new elder's shoulder for a moment, before they go to join the elders.
Name Changing
Leader: "Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey join beneath the (meeting place) for a clan meeting."
Spirits of StarClan, you know every cat by name. I ask you now to take away the name from the cat you see before you, for it no longer stands for what (she/he) is. By my authority as clan leader, and with the approval of our warrior ancestors, I give this cat a new name. From this moment on (she/he) will be known as (new name), for (reason for name change)."
New Medicine Cat Apprentice
Leader: "Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey join beneath the (meeting place) for a clan meeting."
Medicine Cat: "Cats of (Clan name), as you know I will not be around forever. So it's time I took an apprentice. I have chosen a cat (reason for choosing the cat). Your next medicine cat will be (Apprentice's name).
Leader: "(Apprentice's name), do you accept the post of apprentice to (Medicine Cat's name)?"
Apprentice:" Yes, (Leader's name)"
Medicine Cat: "Then at the half-moon you must travel to Mothermouth, to be accepted by StarClan before the other medicine cats."
Leader: "The good wishes of all (Clan name) will go with you."
The Medicine Cat then touches noses with his/her new apprentice.
Med. Cat Apprentice >> Medicine Cat
[takes place at Moonstone]
Medicine Cat: (Apprentice's name). I, (Medicine cat's name), medicine cat of (Clan name), call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on this apprentice. (She/he) has trained hard to understand the way of a medicine cat, and with your help (she/he) will serve (his/her) clan for many moons. (Apprentice's name), do you promise to uphold the ways of a medicine cat, to stand apart from clan rivalry between clan and clan, and to protect all cats equally, even at the cost of your life?"
Apprentice: "I do."
Medicine Cat: "Then by the powers of StarClan I give you your true name as a medicine cat. (Apprentices name), from this moment you will be known as (new name). StarClan honors your (traits here).
The old Medicine cat then rests his/her head on the new one's head. The new Medicine cat then licks his/her mentor's shoulder.
