Hello again! Thank you so much for the help on Shadeclaw, I really appreciate it!

I'm just popping in for yet another question, lol. Would the prefix Starling- fit for a tuxedo cat, if I may ask? The only description it had on the Ailuronymy blog was that 'white markings' would be okay. Does a tux have too much white on it to fit the Starling- prefix?

I would think so, as long as the markings weren't huge (this would be along Starling- lines, for example). The European Starlings tend to have smaller white markings themselves, so if you're confused on a name you can poke around on google for the animal it's based off of to see what would really work best.

The heavy metal guitar brought me back XD

Name: Emeraldgaze (stay with me, the emerald part will make sense)
Gender: Female
Age: 24
Rank: Warrior
Looks: simply a very fluffy pure white she-cat with glowing emerald green eyes.
Personality: She can be very energetic as she hates boredom. She is very agile and dispite her being easily bored she cope with it and try to help others with their problems. She is not completely trustworthy as she can gossip a bit. Even then she is brave and she can go deep in though a times, her gaze extending far out in the distance.
History: she does not have to much of a history for she joined the clan after being a Kittypet named winter. She joined when she was 14 moons old when she Abbandoned her home. She then was renamed Emeraldpaw then Emeraldgaze after struggling to adjust to the life of a warrior

ALSO he was not desperate to join the clan, it was not a last resort. She was born and put up for adoption and was bought at a young age so she has no 'torn from family feeling' its simply a common thing for cats

Heavy metal guitar brings everyone back. Tried and true method man, I'm tellin' ya.

Name Rating: 5/10
Name Type: Lyrical
Name Reasoning: Thank you for reminding me to put up gem-based names on the names list.
The thing with those names is that a cat in the wild anywhere isn't going to know what a gem is. Gems don't show up on the ground randomly, with perhaps the exception of quartz, and even then that's in very specific areas. They generally have to be mined from deep underground, past where any living thing is going to be, and are polished and cut to look as they do. Unlike, say, Golden-, which is a regular color description, feral cats aren't likely to look at eyes and say, "You know, these really look like topaz or citrine, let's name her for that."
Which brings me to my next point.
Naming a cat for those two little dots is a bad decision. Firstly because about 70% of all cats have green eyes. Line up a group of 10 cats and tell me to find the cat named Emerald-, and I'll have a tough time because most or all of those cats have either green or yellow eyes.
Secondly is due to the fact that eyes can easily be damaged, or faded, or lost entirely. Let's say your cat loses one of her eyes. Now she's only named for a teeny spot on her face that really doesn't stand out now compared to the gnarly scars on the other side of her face, which, frankly, I would name her for instead.
Finally, eye-based names ignore the rest of the cat. Your cat is a pure white, something not entirely common within Clans or feral cats in general, and instead of identifying her by her very notable pelt she's been given a name for something that two-thirds of her Clan have as well, no matter how vibrant they are.
-gaze, I assume, is meant to go with Emerald-, so if the prefix goes, the suffix does as well.
Alternative Name: Snowtail/Lightningtail. Both prefixes are for a white cat (I always get delighted to show off that Lightning- is, indeed, a traditional name), and -tail is for her agility, which implies that she's good at climbing and balance and all of that.

Character Rating: 10/10
Character Reasoning: Overall, the only big issue is her name. She seems just fine to me otherwise!

Okay thanks :3 one last thing what do you think and good suffix is for Silentpaw.

Very brief description- black with few grey freckles and orange/yellow eyes. Kinda small and skinny and silent coming from being born and you could guess. Kinda cowardice and never risk his life for others. Strength being his size because he can go where others can't he can go where others can't and a good climber along with being-wait for it-....*looks at watch* ...silent.

I was thinking maybe Silentstep-Silentbird-Silentshadow but Silentstep is my favorite so far
