Image/Description: Image
Name: Lillypaw
Gender: She-cat
Clan: SeaClan
Rank: Med cat Apprentice
Personality/Skills: She used to be calm and gentle but because of the prophecy (See below) she is mean and hates every cat she knows, especially her sister, Rosepaw. She is talented with herbs.
Important Notes: She is in a prophecy (When everything seems peaceful, Disaster will strike, Wash you away from the stars and the sea, but only the Lilly and the Rose can save you.) but she doesn't believe she is really in it and will try to attack any cat that speaks of it, and is starting to hate StarClan.

Name Rating: 3/10
Name Type: Creative
Name Reasoning: There's two things wrong with this name: one, there is a difference between Lily and Lilly. Lilly is a human name, Lily is a plant and an acceptable prefix. Secondly, Lily- is for a white cat, not a grey one.
Alternative Name: Fogpaw/Mistpaw. Both describe a grey cat.

Character Rating: 6/10
Character Reasoning: A cat shouldn't just become a 180 of themselves because of some prophecy, even if they don't think they're in it. If you want to keep her dislike of the prophecy, here's my suggestion:
Have her know the prophecy, and let it affect her. But not "turning her into a spiteful cat" or something. Make her fear for her Clan; make her afraid for her own life; make her desperate to prove the ancestors wrong. Make her lose sleep trying to figure out what it means, and have the Clan wonder what's wrong with her when she jumps at every little noise and refuses to answer questions about anything. Make her avoid telling anyone, and when her mentor (or someone else) finds out, let her beg them not to tell, to not believe StarClan, to see her as normal, because she is normal, she promises, and not all prophecies come true; of course they don't. StarClan can't be right all the time!
Make her avoid her sister, and dance around any questions and confrontations. Make her lose weight over her own fretting of what will happen to her Clan; make her wary and obsessed, combing the territory day after day to find what could possibly be wrong, and exterminate it at all costs.
If you want to destroy that kind and gentle wall, do it well and do it carefully, while still making it believable. It's not easy, I know, but you can do it with some work.

Personality/Skills: Razorclaw is kind and loyal to his friends, but vicious and mean to everyone else. He is a skilled fighter, born with long claws.
Important Notes: None


Name Rating: 4/10
Name Type: Lyrical
Name Reasoning: I have no problem with his suffix whatsoever. He fits it just fine. However, we have got to talk about his prefix here, so set on down whilst I rant.
Now, I know, I know, Razor- indicates sharp claws, like "razor-sharp". But here's the thing - cats don't know what a gorram razor is. That's a human invention, just like cars, missiles, and Judge Judy. You wouldn't name a cat Boatclaw, would you?
No matter how sharp or long his claws may be, it doesn't really matter enough to deserve a prefix, and besides, how are they supposed to know his claws are gunna be so sharp in the future? (All cats have sharp claws, btw. They sharpen them regularly. Kind of a basic survival requirement.)
Alternative Name: Cedarclaw/Otterclaw. Both prefixes describe a dark brown cat.

Character Rating: 6/10
Character Reasoning: I've never really held the "mean to everyone but really sweet with his friends" character trope. Rarely is it done well and in a non-obnoxious manner. I think that you could have a big gruff cat, sure, but he should still show kindness in small, subtle ways.
Maybe he's surprisingly protective of apprentices and kits, and will shout down a bad mentor or a mean, older apprentice bullying the younger ones. Perhaps his way of communication is through rough-and-tumble, and he trains with the smaller members of the Clan, showing them the best ways to take down a larger cat. Maybe he doesn't talk much, but when he does, it's either a blunt but helpful criticism or a small compliment. Maybe the kits idolize him for being big and strong, and try to sneak attack him all the time (which he plays along with - rolling over and not fighting back too hard). You could take him in another direction, of course.

Image/Description: A really pretty blue-grey cat with only one eye
Name: Unknown ( Please help. Need name )
Gender: Female
Clan: Thunder
Rank: Warrior
Personality/Skills: She is a calm cat, but always has energy to play. She is quite quiet and relaxed as well.
Important Notes: This is based off of a real cat named Angel. She only has one eye, because she was found on the streets with a bulging eye, so the vet had to remove it.

Her warrior was just created, so she doesn't really have a story yet.

So I see! I sized it down for us all, don't worry.

Name Rating: None
Name Type: None
Name Reasoning: Though losing an eye is always something that deserves naming, I think I'll offer you a normal name as well as a rename name, so you can pick which one you'd like. Remember that a cat will only be renamed if they consent to be.
Alternative Name: Losteye/Bluecloud. Losteye for her missing eye, and Bluecloud for her fur color and calm personality.

Character Rating: None
Character Reasoning: As this was based off of a real cat, I don't think I should be judging her until she's a little more her own cat, if you get what I mean. I think her personality is fine for now.

There's a few prefixes specifying blue-grey cats, but overall I thought that Blue- had a nice simplicity to it while still being pretty sounding. The funny thing is that a lot of people assume that traditional naming can't be pretty, but even though that's not its purpose, it has its shining moments.

These two are for what I think they're for, correct?

Icestorm
Name Rating: 6/10
Name Type: Traditional
Name Reasoning: Ice- fits him just fine, but his suffix doesn't. He doesn't exactly have the temper of a -storm cat, and he has a talent at fighting. The hierarchy of suffix names, in traditionalism at least, goes Skill, Personality, Appearance, in that order, with the exception of renames.
Alternative Name: Iceclaw. He's a talented fighter, so he gets the -claw suffix.

Character Rating: 8/10
Character Reasoning: If I'm correct, these cats are going to be played possibly by other people. I think that you left some space for an outsider to be able to play them, if a little specifically (then again, that's probably what you want, so I doubt it's too big of a deal).
Oh, before I forget - there's enough ambiguity with his eye color to have green eyes or blue eyes. My suggestion is to remember the Blue Eyes White Warrior Rule, and make him have green eyes instead. (For those who are wondering: the rule states that white cats born with blue eyes are incredibly likely to be deaf, so it's better to avoid giving your cat those traits.)

Firetail
Name Rating: 7/10
Name Type: Traditional
Name Reasoning: Fire- is just fine on this cat. Her suffix denotes an agile, climbing cat, however, and that doesn't fit with her hunting skill. Alternatively, you could make her a very agile cat instead of a hunter, but that's up to you (or whoever will play her).
Alternative Name: Firewhisker. -whisker indicates a hunting-based cat.

Character Rating: 8/10
Character Reasoning: Like Icestorm/claw, she's got enough ambiguity to be played fluidly, which I hope is what you're aiming for.
