Warrior Cat Names and Characters Reviewer [CLOSED]

[Pokechu12]

Building on a previously sent cat and a new one~


Name: Owlpaw [Suffix suggestions would be helpful. ^^]
She is named this for various reasons. Her floppy ears and alert eyes, as well as her habit of being awake during the night/her restless sleeping patterns.
Gender: She-cat
Clan: -Varies-
Rank: Apprentice
Personality/Skills: Owlpaw is very stubborn and arrogant, often rushing head first into situations. While she is considered forgetful and slightly dense by some, she is quite intelligent. Yes, she has her moments, but overall is a great friend and sticks by her loved ones no matter what. She is also quite childish, something she will grow out of, and she has a habit of chasing things like lasers and leaves. Some of her skills include climbing, jumping and stalking.
Important Notes: Her mother happened to be a kittypet scottish fold, explaining her floppy ears.


Name: Leopardtail or Tigertail.
His name is undecided, these two are just some ideas.
Gender: Tom
Clan: -Varies-
Rank: Warrior
Personality/Skills: Leopardtail is very sleek and lean, and happens to be quite well-liked within his clan due to his calm and collected nature. Like any tom, he'd die for his clan, but he tends to spend his free time brushing up on his climbing skills with some of the apprentices and a warrior or two. His notable skills include climbing, fighting and hunting.
Important Notes: None.

Owlpaw
Name Rating: 7/10
Name Type: Semi-traditional
Name Reasoning: Owl- is a traditional prefix, but it's for a brown cat (like Leopardtail), and it appears yours is a little grey to fit into that. If she was indeed named for her big eyes and floppy ears, the mother would have had to wait three weeks to name her (which no mother actually would, and if she tried, the Clan leader would interfere and let the father name them). Kittens are blind and deaf for three weeks, and their ears flop a little.
I don't think that Owl- is a bad idea, but if you want to keep it and have it make sense, you'll have to make her this color.
Meanwhile, on to her suffix. She sounds a lot like a -tail cat (climbing and jumping), so I think that's an appropriate suffix.
Alternative Name: Thistletail/Nettletail. Nettle- and Thistle- indicate a grey tabby, and -tail is for her climbing and jumping skills.

Character Rating: 9/10
Character Reasoning: She certainly sounds like an apprentice, all right. I don't think that I have anything to critique here; all I can offer is for you to decide how she'll change as she matures.


Leopardtail/Tigertail
Name Ratings: 9/10 and 9/10
Name Type: Traditional, both.
Name Reasoning: I can't really say for sure what kind of tabby this is. I'm willing to bet it has either stripes like these (which is what we call "spotted"), and that's the basic requirement to be a Leopard- cat. Or, he could have these stripes (a regular tabby), which is a requirement for Tiger-. Either way, it's a good name fit, so I have no problems!
His suffix could work for him if he's most notable in climbing, but he appears to be pretty good at fighting and hunting. My suggestion is to focus on the hunting and fighting bit, and drop the climbing (which I will explain below).
Alternative Name: Leopardfang/Tigerfang. Leopard- is for a spotted tabby, and Tiger- is for a regular one. -fang is an indicator of both fighting skills and hunting skills.

Character Rating: 7/10
Character Reasoning: He's not too bad, but there are two things I want to cover: he doesn't really have much personality to him other than being calm and collected (loyalty is a basic requirement, much like being a decent human being), and his build vs. his skills. His personality can be easily remedied by going into deeper territory and figuring out what he likes, dislikes, fears, adores, etc. His build, though, can be a little more difficult.
There are some characteristics that are naturally associated with skills - fighters tend to be bulky and big, hunters tend to be sleeker and quieter, and climbers tend to be agile and wiry. With -fang cats, who aren't particularly excelling at either but very good at both, they stay somewhere in-between on the scale; being an average (or a little bigger) sized cat with that sort of quiet strength that isn't really shown until they get into a fight with you.
Basically, what I think you should do is bulk him up just a little bit to make him a fighting cat, and leave the climbing out of it.

Name Rating: 4/10
Name Type: Creative
Name Reasoning: Sage-, while traditional, is actually for a grey cat. This one is black and white - and I'm afraid that, no, black and white don't cancel each other out here.
The suffix -wind isn't a very good suffix to pick. It could be saying that he's a fast cat (he's not), but that's already covered by -foot. Besides, not all winds are fast or strong; "wind" is the general term for breezes as well as squalls and gales. It could actually represent anything; the worst being that the cat is continuously gassy - which, really, would you name a cat for that?
Alternative Name: Badgerstorm/Badgerfur. Badger- indicates a black and white cat, and -storm is for his turbulent personality, while -fur is for if you decide that he's really not all that aggressive.

Character Rating: 7/10
Character Reasoning: You have something going with the grumpy bit, but it's negated by the politeness and calmness. I would remove those traits almost entirely, letting them be used only in tiny doses in particular situations. Emphasize his temper and quick-to-fight attitude.

Thanks a bunch! I like the names you suggested far better, and I might actually use one of those in a roleplay that I'm in. <3 Thank you!

Sending in another one just because. xD

Name: Birchkit (haven't decided on a warrior name yet, but I'm leaning towards Birchclaw, Birchtail, or Birchfur)
Gender: Male
Clan: MossClan
Rank: Kit
Personality/Skills: Birchkit is arrogant, hotheaded, and quite the little daredevil as well. He is very ambitious and would like to become leader of the clan one day. He often thinks of himself as better than other kits or apprentices and doesn't show much respect towards them. In fact, he doesn't really feel much respect flowing out of him for anybody, although he would never let this show in front of the senior warriors or leader. The only cat that he admires and is somewhat kind to is Mistfrost, a pretty she-cat who he might have a teeny, tiny bit of a crush on.
Important Notes: Due to the fact that he's only a kit, Birchkit's skills haven't developed very much just yet. He once climbed pretty high up a tree in the camp when nobody was watching, so perhaps he'd be good at climbing? His fiery attitude might also make him a good fighter one day, but so far he hasn't had any battle experiences. As far as hunting goes, Mistfrost once took him to the lake to try and catch fish. He missed on the first try and fell in, but on the second try, he managed to catch a smaller, slower fish, although hunting probably wouldn't be his best point if he was a warrior.

I would also like it if you could suggest a warrior name for him please! ^w^ Thanks in advance~

Image/Description: White Shecat with black stripes and A blue eye. (the other one is like Brightheart's)
Name: Halfpaw (Halfgaze)
Gender: Shecat
Clan: SunClan
Rank: Apprentice
Personality/Skills: She is hot-headed, Brave, Careless, and She loves Swiftpaw. She is a really good fighter and knows a lot of moves.
Important Notes: The way she lost her eye was when Swiftpaw almost died, and she felt it was her fault.

I'll do my best. That is an adorable cat.

Name Rating: 9/10
Name Type: Traditional
Name Reasoning: He may be just a little darkly-dappled, but he fits near-perfectly for Birch-, so there's no problems there.
Taking a careful look at his personality, he sounds a lot like a -storm. A firey personality doesn't necessarily make a good fighter (not all -claw cats are ferocious, after all), and while he could be a good climber, but I have a feeling that he could be rather impatient when learning something. Not being immediately perfect at it = trying was stupid anyways, at least in his mind.
Alternative Name: Birchstorm. Arrogant, hotheaded, and (I'd think) impatient is right up a -storm's alley.

Character Rating: 10/10
Character Reasoning: He's got a nice set of characteristics that don't contradict each other, and they're pretty well thought-out. Good job!

Name: Halfpaw (Halfgaze)
Gender: Shecat
Clan: SunClan
Rank: Apprentice
Personality/Skills: She is hot-headed, Brave, Careless, and She loves Swiftpaw. She is a really good fighter and knows a lot of moves.
Important Notes: The way she lost her eye was when Swiftpaw almost died, and she felt it was her fault.

Name Rating: 8/10
Name Type: Semi-traditional
Name Reasoning: Naming her for an injury like that isn't necessarily a bad thing, but I will pick on -gaze a little.
For sure, -gaze sounds prettier and more poetic, but I doubt its practicality. Anyone could interpret that as something different, because it's an action, rather than an object. For example, take -claw vs. -strike. Everyone knows that when you meet a cat named Gannetclaw, they're talented at fighting. But what does -strike mean? Does it mean that they have a particular way of fighting? Do they kill a cat or prey with one blow (not possible, spoilers)? Do they strike the ground for intimidation (a little silly)?
Alternative Name: Half-face. While -face usually denotes a pretty cat (and the rest of her could be), here it's used to describe that a part of her face was completely torn off, and she survived it.

Character Rating: 4/10
Character Reasoning: This cat sounds awful familiar, if you get me. A cat losing part of their face? Sure. But losing someone named Swiftpaw that they really cared for and their face at the same time? I really hope that it wasn't a dog that got them.
My point is, this character is a rehash of Brightheart, and I think you could do a little better. Leave Swiftpaw out of this accident, and focus on the hot-headedness and carelessness. How does this change after she loses part of her face? Does she get even more brash, trying to convince herself that nothing's different and she's still a great fighter (despite the fact that anyone could easily sneak up on her)? Does she live in a constant state of denial, and outright attack anyone who dares to insinuate that things are changed now? Is she resentful of every time a cat flinches looking at her face?

[Cradily]

Thanks once again!

I'm glad that helped you, haha.
