Warrior Cat Names and Characters Reviewer [CLOSED]

[Arcaii]

Most of the shaman's barely register the bitterness and sarcasm at the point where the story begins, especially the full-named ones. Their conversations go somewhere along the lines of:

"What a lovely night for a Gathering! Wouldn't you agree, Swiftleaf?"
"About as lovely as Moonclan's abysmal leadership."
"I know! The spirits must be pleased with us for such clear weather!"

On another note; I was creating his fledgling, which I was dead set on looking like this chocolate tabby I once saw. But apparently, his marking/coloring is quite unusual. But if I do manage to find a better image of a cat like him (the one on the bottom), could you recommend a prefix?



Edit;; I was wondering if perhaps he was some strange purebred cat, but the cat above him is apparently his mother. I am so curious as to what his father looked like, but it was only the two of them together.

Oh my god, that's great. I love the not noticing his grumpiness.

A cat with a seal pointing such as that would need to be of kittypet blood, since that coloring is specifically bred. But, if I had to go with a plain brownish name, I would recommend Acorn-, Bat-, Beech-, Brown-, Chub-, Dust-, Eagle-, Elm-, Fallow-, Fawn-, Hare-, Hazel-, Linnet-, Marten-, Mink-, Mouse-, Muntjac-, Nightingale-, Oak-, Pebble-, Rabbit-, Rat-, Rock-, Rush-, Sedge-, Spider-, Shrew-, Toad-, Vole-, Weasel-, or Yew-.

Image/Description: xXx
Name: Raventail
Gender: female
Clan: Shadowclan
Rank: Warrior
Personality/Skills: Raventail is a quiet she-cat who seems to like squirrels better than she likes her fellow warriors. She excels in hunting, specifically hunting in trees. Due to her small frame, Raventail struggles when it comes to fighting. Her stamina and agility is revered but if a cat were to pin her, it would all be over. Her demeanor is somewhat off-putting because of her lack of opinion at times; Raventail is an adaptable cat but also an opportunist. It wouldn't be wise to mistake her quiet demeanor for shyness or kindness for the she-cat is neither. Raventail's sarcasm is heavily masked by the false sincerity she presents when speaking. Her clanmates seem to irritate her; she would much rather spend time in trees than she would in camp.
Important Notes: Thank you so much!

No iss! Apologies for the wait.

Name Rating: 10/10
Name Type: Traditional
Name Reasoning: I have no complaints here! You do mentioned she's a skilled hunter, but given that more time is spent discussing her agility and climbing, I think her name fits her perfectly.
Alternative Name: None!

Character Rating: 10/10
Character Reasoning: Again, not much to say! She's a great cat with well balanced abilities and weaknesses, and her personality fits together perfectly. Pity for her Clanmates, of course - living with such a loner can't be easy. Unless they're all idiots. Then they deserve it.

thank you!! i really appreciate it immensely and even more so considering i have a hard time with traditional names. xD

i was wondering if i could have help finding a prefix for this cat? i'm not really sure if his coloring is brown or more of a gold so i'm having a bit of a trouble finding an adequate prefix for him.

Thank you ever so much! this really helped! I've had a look at different tortoisehell variants and decided I like the dilute colour. It's very pretty, but I thought seen as it's not very brown anymore she might need a name change. I like traditional and lyrical best, with traditional in the lead. I think I still want the suffix to be -foot or -tail, but I'd like something the would fit. I've googled prefixes and greyish-blue plants and such. I think Birch- is a greyish tree, yes? Problem is I don't really want to copy from the books. Anyway, thanks for all the help!

If a white kitten was born but later developed points (say he/she became a flame point), and then climate was warm so there was low contrast, would you suggest a name change?
Also, what prefixes would you suggest for a chocolate smoke?

I'd think they would keep the name they were given! As long as they're the vast majority white, there should be no problems. Of course, if their name also refers to a light golden cat, then the parents would probably feel better (although I'd be squinting suspiciously at the mother if she was birthing some pointed cats...).

I would consider that color to be dark brown, or dusky. As such, they should try Alder-, Ant-, Bat-, Beetle-, Brown-, Cedar-, Dark-, Dusk-, Eel-, Ivy-, Lamprey- (only if they have a lighter underbelly), Mink-, Minnow-, Mud-, Otter-, Rat-, Sedge-, Spider-, Swift-, or Vole-. I'm not sure if that's a naturally occurring color, though, or if it's specially bred.

I figured with a flame point that would be the case, as even with low contrast they're still pretty pale. Seal point would definitely be a rename though?
I'd be squinting at mother too xD It is possible for two "normal" cats to carry point though, I believe, and with how inbred Clans tend to be, it wouldn't surprise me if, say, a black tom and a tortie she-cat suddenly birthed a load of point kittens xD
Both chocolate and smoke are specially bred ^^ chocolate is only seen in oriental breeds, but smoke is the same as silver in tabby cats, so can be seen in just about anything xD A Clan cat like that would have to have recent kittypet ancestry.

Hm...I would call him a golden-brown. I think the best prefixes for him would be Acorn-, Barley-, Bee-, Carp-, Dust-, Honey-, Larch-, Lion-, Lizard-, Mink-, Oat-, Pheasant-, Reed-, Rush-, Rye-, Tawny-, or Wren-.

I named Garlickit Garlicnose (this sounds somewhat strange) because he later develops rather good tracking abilities and of course, spends half and hour sniffing the borders each day. I believe I have also developed a brother for him and Brindlekit!

Description: Shortish brown tabby with a paler underbelly and unique dark brown markings on his face and round amber eyes.
Name: Pipitkit/Pipitstripe.
Gender: Tom.
Clan: ThunderClan.
Rank: Kit
Personality/Skills: His brother may be paranoid and so is he - in a completely different way! He darts under a bush at the faintest rustle, his ears are perked up at all times and he looks just about ready to skitter far, far away. He is very jittery, hence his nickname 'jitterbug'. Pipitkit follows all sorts of elder's superstitions and urges other to do the same. 'Remember to circle the nest three times before settling!' he says. He's one scaredy cat and if he ever notices his shadow instead of being too busy nervously looking around, he's be afraid of it. The Clan doesn't what will happen when he's apprenticed but they suspect he'll get over his fears. If not, they reckon he'd be a helpful hunter, as Pipitkit is always stepping lightly and is ready to pounce (or flee, actually) at any time. Too bad he's got a mild phobia a squirrels.
Important Notes: I suppose he eventually gets over his squirrel phobia and indeed serves as a hunter, but not excellent, average

Always happy to assist!

Dilute torties have a more limited list of names than most other colors, unfortunately. I think you could go for Lichen-, Pochard-, Shel-, Sycamore-, or Wigeon-.

I should note that traditionalism does take a lot from the books - at least, the first series, since those are the most sensible names. It doesn't really matter if your cat has the same prefix as some other cat in canon or even the same name! They're just names. A warrior is much more than that.

I've never really heard of a cat turning from white to brown before, but if that does actually happen, then yes, that would definitely be worth a rename.

I just exercise rule of caution and tell people to stick with more common coat colors. Truthfully, I had a cat of indeterminate origin (she was a rather dusty tortoiseshell color - not very attractive, but her face was pretty) who had several litters of kittens, and in the first two, there were white kittens with grey points, despite the father not looking like that. Cat genetics are bizarre.

Ahh, I see. His name fits him just fine, then.

Name Rating: 8/10
Name Type: Traditional
Name Reasoning: The only issue is that Pipit-'s description specifically notes striking markings, and, as a rule, if the prefix describes a notable tabby, then the suffix -stripe can't be used. It's sad, since Pipitstripe sounds great, but there's facts.
Alternative Name: Pipitpelt/Pipitfur. I highly encourage -pelt in particular (triple alliteration!).

Character Rating: 10/10
Character Reasoning: This entire family is endearing, honestly. I really like them all! Poor Pipitpaw will hopefully get his act together enough eventually.

Cat genetics are bizarre.

It's to do with their hairs ^^ that's why they're born white and develop their points later. In the womb, everyone is body temperature, from their core to their extremities. So they're pure white when they're born. But after a few days, the extremities (limbs, tail, ears, muzzle) are notably colder, and the fur reacts to the temperature change, hence the darker colour. In colder climates, the points may extend up to the rest of their body, hence a low contrast feline. If they're in warm climates, only the extremities will be coloured.
It's all very strange, but the very properties of their fur means, hypothetically, you could put a low contrast seal point in a fridge (not recommended!) and it would turn dark, due to the temperature.

Cats are bizarre in general xD
