Image/description: Lithe brown tabby with white paws and muzzle with black and tan markings on his pelt. Long legged with amber eyes. I'm currently using this picture as a reference; sorry for linking to the entire form, but I can't exactly use image links due to this iPad.
Name: Fleetpaw. Was named 'fleet' by his mother as a kit due to his long legs and lithe build; his mother was certain that he would become a great runner when he matured. His warrior name will be Fleetfoot due to his swiftness and agility.
Gender: Tom
Clan: He's a roleplayed character, so it varies, I suppose. ;P if he were to be put into a canon Clan, then perhaps WindClan would work for him.
Rank: Apprentice/warrior
Personality/Skills: He's an outgoing little chap that is friendly to others and loves company. He is also a devout trainee, and is very determined and eager to learn, always jumping upon his mentor first thing in the morning, demanding an early training session. When one prods at his ire, however, he can get irritated and impatient easily, and tends to snap if he really gets fired up, though he almost always regrets it afterwards.
As for skills, he is of course fast and agile with a surprising knack for sneakiness and stealth, which makes him a great hunter and ambusher. He is also especially skilled at climbing.
Important Notes: Not too sure if this will be remarkable, but Fleetpaw is what you may call a 'drypaw'; he is not a particular fan of water. He is also pretty bad at brute fighting.


Name Rating: 6/10
Name Type: Canonical
Name Reasoning: While I do understand that Fleet- or Swift- (actually a traditional name, but not correlating to the adjective) is a temptation because it's a clearer picture of what kind of cat they are, cats don't really grow into their own person until they're out of the nursery. Even if he was a skinny little thing, who can say that he will stay that way - this is why size prefixes, for example, are such a risk, because a small cat can turn into a big strong one. Fleet's mother can't be sure that he'll be the running type when he gets older - he might be more observant and prefer to track, or climb (you even said that he's a very good hunter as well as a runner).
Besides that, a kitten can't really look like fleet. The point of a prefix, as least in my book, is to describe the physical appearance of a cat. That way, you'll know what you get when you hear the name Wrentail or Magpienose (a small brown tabby and a black and white cat, respectively). He's got a plethora of names to pick from which could work really well on him.
Alternative Name: Harefoot/Rushfoot. These prefixes both suggest a brown cat, but I picked them specifically to still (hopefully) convey speed - Hare- can be interchangeable with Rabbit-, both of which have been shown in canon to give a slow cat a hard time, and Rush- is named after a plant, but can still be seen as "fast".

Character Rating: 9/10
Character Reasoning: I think his temper and personality fit a bolder -foot cat very well: impatient, quick tempered when provoked, a little impulsive, and very outgoing. Usually -foot cats can be more neurotic or quick to flee, but one born more assertive like him would do just fine.
My only issue is that I'm not sure exactly where his skills lie, since he appears to be equally good at all of the ones you listed. I would specify that he is the best at running; he can be pretty good at hunting and climbing, but I wouldn't say especially skilled at either of them. That makes a suffix a little harder to place.
Other than that, though, I like this cat a lot!

I'm back!
Image/Description: Image
Name: Paleclaw
Gender: Female
Clan: (still thinking)
Rank: Deputy
Personality/Skills: Paleclaw is judgemental of other cats, though this may appear rude she is only trying to make them stronger. This can cause her to be harsh when training. She has above average fighting skills. Though she is slim, she is not fast.
Important Notes: As a kit, she was teased for being skinny and small. She would sneak away from camp and do personal battle training. She did this for moons, and when there was a battle with another clan, she outmatched any cat who tried to defeat her. She led her clan, side by side with her leader.

No worries, with the amount of forms you get here. ;P I believe you do an amazing job, rating all these names daily. :3

Oh yes, I see now. I contemplated the Rush- prefix but now it makes a lot more sense. He shall be Rushpaw/foot from now on. ;)
I understand what you say about his character's skills, as well; I'll make his skills more centered on speed, then.

Thank you! This was very helpful. :)

I love reading this thread! You're always so honest and that's really nice.
Please note I've not had any sleep in over, I think 21+ hours, so sorry if any of this sounds odd ;-;

Image/Description: a long-furred white she-cat with blue-eyes the colour of the rivers. She is deaf, and has two scars over her right ear, not that it bothers her at all.
Name: Willowkit - Willowpaw - Willowtail.
Gender: She-cat.
Clan: BrookClan (it's likely she'll be used for a fanfiction I'm writing in my free time not that I have any of that)
Rank: Warrior (also not sure about this rank for her yet <2)
Personality/Skills: a quick, but shy and quiet she-cat with a passion for climbing. It isn't often you'll find her swimming in the mucky rivers around her home, but more so in the trees around (AshClan)'s forests. Because of her deafness, she often doesn't hear the sound of something, but can feel it through the pads of her paws almost all the time.
She can be stubborn and doesn't take well to having other cats (even her Clan-mates) staring at her because she often believes they're making fun of her deafness.
She is also a dreamer and believes in far greater things then her 'pitiful' life.
Important Notes: She's very skilled in the art of climbing (her mother Bushfur was an AshClan trained warrior) and enjoys peaceful hunting in her own free time. She's very bad at fighting. The two scars came from her brother (Oaktooth) who didn't understand her deafness and thought she hated him. They were apprentices at the time.
I will also add that Willow's dream is to have three kits and has names picked out for them, but she believes this won't happen. However she does, in the end, have to care for four small kittens the Clan finds, so in a way, does get her wish.
To put a quick note in, none of these Clans know, or believe in StarClan.

Name: Batfang
Description: A small short-furred, dark brown (almost black) tom-cat with an almost grey muzzle, eyes a muddy brown. His left back paw is twisted.
Important Notes: He is the deputy of (CaveClan), and is a bit cold hearted, but gets the job done. His skill in hunting is amazing in the evening, not so in the daylight. His skill in fighting is outstanding, but easily trips up. He's had three apprentices, six kits, and his back paw was bitten badly in a battle with a fox.
He's still in planning right now <2 If you have an idea for him, please share! He's one of my new little babies and I want him to be just right, haha!

My father passed away at the end of September after a long period of intense illness. I apologise if you are waiting on a trade or PM reply; please be patient while I come to terms and deal with the legal consequences.

Occasionally I do miss people on here on complete accident; my friend who follows the thread is very helpful in pointing them out. I don't know how I missed you, though!

I'm glad I could help! Come by again if you need any more assistance.

Hello again!

Name Rating: 7/10
Name Type: Traditional
Name Reasoning: Pale- would be fine on her if she wasn't black and white. Usually, on a multicolored cat, one can slip by with a solid-implying prefix if the cat has a large majority of the color (like if she had been born almost completely white, but with a few black markings on her head and tail or something). You could find an alternate picture if you wish to keep the name (here's my suggestion if so), or you could take an alternate.
Her suffix is just fine for her, though.
Alternative Name: Brightclaw/Magpieclaw. Both indicate a black and white patched cat (Bright- is for a majority of white with large patches of starker colors).

Character Rating: 9/10
Character Reasoning: The rest of her story is fine, but I think that if you want to make her so determined to be the best fighter she can be, she should probably get training from one or two adults who actually know how to fight. I can imagine an adult, being sympathetic to her plight, agreeing to train her a little bit (not thinking that she'd take it so seriously).
Her personality is good, too. I can see where her harshness would come from - she'd probably understand more than anyone how it feels to be the scrawny, weak kitten in the litter, and she would probably assist the weaker members of the Clan a lot more than the stronger ones.

I'm always relieved to hear someone appreciating my honesty (I know I can come off as harsh due to my own personal reasons; it rarely has anything to do with you guys). I'll review these cats, and you should probably get some sleep if you can in the meantime, haha. I'll let you know if anything's wonky to the point where I can't understand it.

I'll use the more thorough reviews for both.


Willowtail
Name Rating: 8/10
Name Type: Traditional
Name Reasoning: I was very disappointed to learn that Willow- doesn't work for white cats, because I really like this name. It's for a grey or grey-brown cat. Her suffix fits her perfectly, otherwise.
Alternative Name: Whitetail/Clovertail. Clover- specifically refers to the plant's flowers, not the leaves.

Character Rating: 9/10
Character Reasoning: BLUE EYED WHITE CAT THAT'S ALREADY DEAF AND DOESN'T NEED A REMINDER ABOUT IT AAAAAAAAAA I have only two things to pick on, and one has to do with her. That is that a deaf cat is completely capable of having kittens and functioning normally in a Clan (would it surprise you to know that cats mostly use body language over verbal?). The Clan would most likely accommodate her and figure out a way to speak with her. This is covered over here! (In fact, I was the one who asked this - anonymously, of course.) I can see her definitely being self-conscious and certain that no one will ever want a deaf queen, but it wouldn't be impossible.
The other thing I'll nitpick is about her Clan - a large part of Clan life is believing in StarClan. So my question is, how and why did they become a Clan with no belief system? Maybe they wouldn't have it involved as a large part of their lives, but it still should be present - that's what the code is all about: be a good cat and you'll make it to StarClan.


Batfang
Name Rating: 9/10
Name Type: Traditional
Name Reasoning: His name does fit him, but I'm more interested in that disability of his than his skills (which would probably be tampered some by this disability). A twisted foot is nothing to sneeze at. It'd be like if your leg just shriveled up one day into a stump. It'd be hard to get around, but this cat's doing really well, apparently, and I think that's worthy of a rename.
Alternative Name: Twistedfoot/Brokenfoot, for the reasons above.

Character Rating: 8/10
Character Reasoning: My only problem is his skills. A cat who's good at hunting can have preferences, but they should be able to hunt at any time in any place. Likewise, a fighting cat shouldn't have any issues that could severely affect his skill.
But the thing is, he does have something that could seriously cut him down in both regards - a bad foot. I think that you should say that he knows a lot about hunting and fighting and spends time teaching what he knows to the apprentices, but he's unable to do it much himself anymore thanks to this disability. I mean, he's the deputy for crying out loud. He's more than earned that spot, even with an injury like this.
