Warrior Cat Names and Characters Reviewer [CLOSED]

[Keriae]

Arcaii, would you do a general character review for a character outside of the warriors verse?

[trees |-/]

Image/Description:
Name: IvyWing
Gender: female
Clan: Riverclan
Rank: Deputy
Personality/Skills: IvyWing isn't afraid to stand up for whats right. She will fight for justice if needed. IvyWing really likes to help as well.
Important Notes:

Oh, the face-only pictures...how hard my life you doth make.

Name Type: Canonical
Name Reasoning: Ivy- is better suited on a much darker cat than this, and I really have no idea what -wing could refer to. That's covered on the front page, whatever the case may be.
Alternate Name: Nettleheart/Thistleheart. Both prefixes describe a grey cat, and -heart will be further explained below.

Character Assessment: I mean, honestly, I don't think there's much I can say here. From what I can gather, she puts a lot into her Clan and its way of life (given that she helps out a lot and has a fierce sense of justice), but that's about it.
Character Suggestions: Give her some more traits (such as impatience, or bossiness, or daring, etc), and perhaps have her sense of justice and morality be a huge factor in her life. A -heart cat is one who lives so by their morals that they'll do anything to uphold them, and I think she'd be great for that.

Thank you! Does she make a good deputy?

Expect more cats from me for now on, since I opened a thread where you adopt character concepts.

Image/Description: Slightly small silver tabby she-cat with pale green eyes
Name: Minnowheart
Gender: She-cat
Clan: None currently (Depends on adopter)
Rank: Warrior or Deputy
Personality/Skills: Minnowheart is not one to let her opinion go unheard. She'll challenge the leader in the middle of a meeting if she feels what they are doing is wrong. She believes that is is best not to start a fight, but if the clan is attacked, she believes that the clan should launch an attack of their own. She also challenges the warrior code and believes that cats do sometimes deserve to die, and that death should be a punishment for murder or attempted murder.
Important Notes: Her personality partially developed from one time, when a warrior tried to kill the deputy. The traitor was only exiled, and didn't even seem to mind that much, which infuriated Minnowheart, who was Minnowpaw at the time.

Image/Description: Tall, fluffy, pure white cat with amber colored eyes
Name: Iceclaw
Gender: Tom
Clan: None currently (Depends on adopter)
Rank: Warrior
Personality/Skills: Iceclaw is scared of battles, making his excellent skill in fighting lacking use. He is at ease during battle training and shows his talent there, but when it comes to a real fight, he runs away quickly, unless he is cornered and has no choice. He is friendly and enjoys chatting with his clanmates.
Important Notes: Iceclaw's fear of battles comes from his parents' deaths. There was a rouge to be driven out of clan borders, and his parents went with the patrol to help, being talented at fighting themselves. However, it turned out to be an ambush, and his father died in the battle and his mother died of injuries later.

Okay, Evningstorm is solid dark grey, with short plush fur [I'm thinking part British Shorthair, their father could as well be a housecat] and Breamtail is a slightly silverish classic grey tabby.

Thank you very much! Now onto the review.

Eveningstorm (You're right, that's a pretty cool name...)
Name Type: Traditional
Name Reasoning: I don't have much to say! She's got a very fitting name.
Alternate Name: None!

Character Assessment: Like you said, she's less developed than her sister, but I do like the empathy towards the environment. I think you really have an interesting idea here.
Character Suggestions: As she stands, she's fine, but I highly suggest working more with her reactions to the weather, maybe extend it to flora and fauna as well.



Breamtail
Name Type: Traditional
Name Reasoning: As above, I think her name is excellent for her.
Alternate Name: None!

Character Assessment: I am now picturing cats skittering across the ice. That is the cutest idea. I love it.
Anyway, she's an awesome character so far, so I have nothing to complain about.
Character Suggestions: None!

Arcaii, would you do a general character review for a character outside of the warriors verse?

Sure! It'd probably be best if you sent them to me over PM, though. Also, if you think it's required, be sure to add in some context of the character's world (like, if they have telekinesis, the addition of "this is a pretty common power, but one that takes time to master" would be useful).

[Arcaii]

Thank you! Does she make a good deputy?

I feel like she needs to have some more character before I can really say. She sounds like a good Clan member so far, but whether or not she'd be leader material would be an entirely different thing. Some Clan leaders are very strict and serious, or use tough love so that if anything happens to them, the Clan can still survive.

Name: Windypaw (Windycloud)
Gender: Female
Clan: SkyClan
Rank: Apprentice
Personality/Skills: Windypaw is a shy and sweet cat. She loves her Clanmates and will defend it for her life. Windypaw is polite to older cats and she is sarcastic. Windypaw likes other toms, but won't specify which one.
Important Notes: none

Ohh boy. I'll have to be prepared, then.

Minnowheart
Name Type: Traditional
Name Reasoning: Her name fits her just fine!
Alternate Name: None!

Character Assessment: There isn't a whole lot to say here. Her personality is fine, and I can see an instance like that affecting her, especially compiled by the life she lives as a feral cat.
Character Suggestions: None!



Iceclaw
Name Type: Traditional
Name Reasoning: Nothing to say! His name's fine.
Alternate Name: None!

Character Assessment: If he's uncomfortable fighting, that's fine, but a cat cannot be named for their skill if they don't use it regularly to help their Clan. A cat would not be given the -claw suffix if they never use their fighting abilities.
Character Suggestions: I would remove the fear of fighting. Also, I think that having his parents' death affect his feelings towards battle could be removed. Cats tend to die. That's a regular part of Clan life. He could just be pretty uncomfortable with the sight and (what's more important to a cat) smell of the blood of his kin, or just plain doesn't like having to hurt other cats.

Image/Description:
A large golden tabby with brown-green eyes.
Name:
Waspheart
Gender:
Tom
Clan:
Firclan (potentially a lame fic-clan idk yet)
Rank:
Deputy
Personality/Skills:
Waspheart is a cat who believes wholeheartedly in honour. He is an idealist and always looks for the best in others, and is determined to never give up on anyone. His honest belief inspires his clanmates to do better, and he seems to have a natural leadership about him, capable of rallying even the most apathetic of clancats with speeches and words. His ideals often coincide with the Warrior Code, and as such he has somehow become the old stereotypical rule-follower. In fact, many older clanmates remember the days when young Wasp-paw constantly picked fights with rival clancats three times his size for disagreeing with his views or coming just that little bit too close to the border. Thankfully he has mellowed with age, though that spark of fire still is present and shows itself form time to time. He is stubborn beyond all belief, especially when his morals are called into question, and he sees the world very much in black and white; he struggles with the concept of grey morality, and would let the world burn so to speak before lowering himself to what he deems unforgivable. He is a good though not exceptional fighter, average in hunting and tracking, but slightly on the slow side.
Important Notes:
[shrrugs] im not very good with righteous characters tbh im much better with more ambiguous and sleezy sorts

Image/Description:
An unusually tall and long-limbed black cat with green eyes, a long, pronounced snout and large ears. His somewhat abnormal appearance is considered appealing and a pleasant curiosity.
Name:
Starlingface
Gender:
Tom
Clan:
Firclan
Rank:
Warrior
Personality/Skills:
Starlingface is an interesting bundle of contradictions. Born in Leafbare, his mother died from a bought of greencough spreading through camp, which never bothered him too much as he hardly remembered her. His father, though never unkind, was distant and took little interest in his only son's progress. Starlingface himself always strove to try and impress his father, which through a combination of his own mediocrity and his father's disinterest never worked out too well. Eventually Stalingface gave up and moved on to better things, though apparently the episode led him to believe that he had little value as a fighter or hunter. He has pretty much always been aware of his attractiveness and he is very smart, capable of thinking up battle plans and ideas on the spot, and in this he is very confident, to the point of arrogance. He is very charming and has a silvertongue, tending to talk and flirt his way out of situations rather than to fight. He often works with Waspheart to formulate strategies, acting as his balance. Starlingface is every bit as stubborn as the deputy, but sees the importance of compromise and having to bloody paws occasionally, though the warrior perhaps too easily resorts to these measures. He is the cynic to Waspheart's idealist, grounding him when he begins to float. Though there is obviously a lot of bickering and differing viewpoints, the two are close friends, and work well together. Though he flirts thoughtlessly with most cats, it has become evident to most of the clan (apart from the deputy himself) that Starlingface's interest in Waspheart may not be purely platonic.

Important Notes: ech the name fits but it seems really clunky to me idk. firclan is in a rather secluded area where kittypets are pretty much non-existent. Starling has asian-cat heritage, which i dont quite know how to explain in words but i see a lot irl. im a sucker for the cynic loving the idealist trope im sorry i am trash


Image/Description:
A small reddish-brown tabby with yellow eyes and white muzzle and throat.
Name:
Grousefang
Gender:
Molly
Clan:
Firclan
Rank:
Warrior
Personality/Skills:
Grousefang is a tough cat. She is by far one of the most ruthless and fierce fighters in the clan, and a level-headed and talented hunter. When out of camp she takes no nonsense and is entirely goal-focused, a contrast with the loud and boisterous cat she is when not on patrol. She loves to laugh and makes jokes, and is most certainly not your prim and proper blushing queen. She is frequently somewhat vulgar in her jokes, but her clanmates have learnt to just let her be for fear of incurring her wrath. Despite her apparent disregard, Grousefang is extremely religious. As an apprentice she was involved in an accident that was feared would cost her life, or at least leave her seriously crippled. When she made a miraculous recovery with almost no side-effects, she became convinced it was the will of Starclan. She takes nothing more seriously than her ancestors and is highly superstitious, believing any 'omens' that may be presented to her, even if interpreted by a kit.
Important Notes: idk more boring

Name: Windypaw (Windycloud)
Gender: Female
Clan: SkyClan
Rank: Apprentice
Personality/Skills: Windypaw is a shy and sweet cat. She loves her Clanmates and will defend it for her life. Windypaw is polite to older cats and she is sarcastic. Windypaw likes other toms, but won't specify which one.
Important Notes: none

Name Type: Lyrical
Name Reasoning: There's a couple of issues with her prefix specifically.
The first is that wind doesn't have a color. We may associate it with a color, but cats wouldn't. So this prefix could be saying anything about her. The point of a prefix, in my mind, is to describe a cat's physical appearance for identification purposes. If you asked me to pick a cat in a lineup named Windy-, I would have no idea what to look for, but if you asked for a cat named Sand- or Acorn-, I would know that the cat named will be a light brown or a golden brown, respectively, and the search is much easier.
Secondly, I never recommend names that are adjectives. Windy-, Misty-, Hollow-... at best, it implies the cat themselves is windy, or misty, or hollow. What does that even mean?
Finally, I assume that she's from the canonical SkyClan. If that's the case, then I reeaally wouldn't give her any name that's part of a Clan's name. Wind-, River-, Thunder-, Shadow-, Sky-, or Star- are considered off limits due to their connection to entities much larger than a single cat. Any cat named after the Clan itself is named blasphemously.
As for her suffix, -cloud around here denotes a very calm and relaxed cat, and she doesn't really seem like that, so I don't suggest keeping it.
Alternate Name: Knotpelt/Ternfur (suffixes interchangeable). Both prefixes describe a grey and white patched cat, and as she has no nameable skills, she receives the defaults.

Character Assessment: This cat's a little all over the place. She's shy and sweet, but sarcastic, but also respectful, but also brave enough to die for the Clan. Shy and sweet is covered on the front page (under "Shrinking Violet"), as is the loyal to the death thing, so I won't go over it here. Bottom line is, she needs some work.
Character Suggestions: Pick a few of those traits to work with, and then build up from there. Perhaps start with sarcastic but sweet, for example - the result could be a cat who puts up a front of snark and stand-offishness, but regularly checks in on her Clanmates to make sure they're doing okay, often telling a cat who's having a bad day to just relax and do whatever, and she'll take care of their responsibilities (always, of course, saying it like she had been ordered to, instead of just doing it out of kindness). Or take respectful and loyal, with the result being a stickler for the rules who always takes everything with a matter-of-fact and businesslike approach. Or even use some new traits with the old ones!
