Name: Hawk, actually.. Isn't traditional! Since Warriors is set in England for the first arc, there's a certain type of hawk. However, if you want to go to a North American setting, there's different types. Complicated, really. In canon, Hawk- would work. If you want to go traditional, Hawk would not work.
Physical Description: I see why you picked foot, due to her agileness and good climbing abilities. Not really enough for a -foot suffix, though. The pelt color and eye color is alright with me... If you want to be advanced, try maybe adding some things- a white underbelly, scars, etc.
Skills/Traits/Personality: With her being stubborn, a bit rude, wanting to 'shred cats to pieces' if they come over the border, and being fiercely loyal? Seems like a -storm cat to me! You'll see more in other. A bit short overall, so more would help.
Other: Bitternstorm would be a suggested name. Bittern is a distinctive brown tabby, so mottled would work. -storm, on the other hand, comes from her being stubborn and rudeness, shredding any cat to pieces. Think of it like an "explosive personality", sort of. Being loyal also contributes to -storm cats, overreacting when something goes wrong.
Falcon, if you sign this siggy I might bake you cupcakes! [ I want those cupcakes. -Falcon_star ]
Name* Murkfur Gender tom Physical Description dark gray tabby with long fur Skills/Traits/Personality Murkfur is good at hunting in the trees and doesn't believe in StarClan. he's not great at fighting and likes to collect shiny objects and hoard them in his den. he doesn't have a lot going for him in terms of skills, but he always tries his best. Other* he's a member of a new Clan that just formed, and most of the members of this Clan were former loners/rogues/kittypets. might post the Clan for rating later.
(Yo, just as a note: concerning Tiger-, it could possibly be valid if you consider tigers and other 'big cats' to be a part of the Clans' mythology, as in the books! Traditionalists have different views on this; in the end it really comes down to if they live in an area with tigers or if tigers are central in their myths.)

No problem, AlpacaCat. And thank you, ♜ rook ! Always cool to have advice from other traditionalists. railfur , here you go! I would love to rate the Clan soon.
Name: Murkfur seems nice, will rate suffix. Murk- is a dark gray cat, so I see no problems there! -fur? It is for average skills on both ends (hunting and fighting) and I saw that he's better at hunting.
Physical Description: Very good. Maybe, would you want to make it longer? I want an eye color, that would really help. White marks? Scars? The eye color is probably most important, so never forget to add that!
Skills/Personality: Good at hunting, and not great at fighting? -fur and -pelt are normally for cats with"average" skills of both. Now, if he likes to collect shiny objects and tries his best? Being wonderlust and being good at hunting is a sign of a -nose cat, so maybe Murknose could be his name!
Other:
History seems cool. I like how different types of cats banded together to make a Clan. Murknose might be an alternate name. I hope I helped! Feel free to submit the Clan for a rating.

Name*Oatclaw GenderShe cat Physical DescriptionA tan, thick, ragged pelt and golden eyes with large fore paws and a big, lean build Skills/Traits/Personality Amazing in battle and very strict and doesn't take pranks or harsh words (Do NOT call her mouse brain!) And kind of a neat freak History* She grew up normally Other* Her clan lives in the country by oat fields
^ Heh, Oat is actually already a traditional prefix.
Name: Nameless/Needs Name Kitty Gender: She-cat Physical description: Nameless is a she-cat with black tortie cat with orange/amberish eyes. She has no prominent whitespotting, and has a slightly ripped ear. She's about average for her age. Skills/traits/personality: Nameless excells in hunting and tracking, is on-par with the standards for a warrior in hunting, and is hopeless when it comes to swimming and climbing. She's pretty laid-back and calm, rarely getting aggravated. Nameless will think before she does anything, and even then thinks that she rushed into something. History: Other: *Gasping noise* I was on a Kindle so I got to type all of the form along with the character
thanks for the advice on murk! :3 i didn't of -nose, but yeah, he could fit that. murknose is pretty cute ouo
Name* Sycamore- [needs a suffix]
Gender Female Physical Description: gray tabby pelt with distinctive markings and yellow eyes image
Skills/Traits/Personality Sycamore- is uncertain about having faith in Starclan. As the medicine cat of recently formed NamelessClan, she knows that having faith is important (or at least that's what the other medicine cats said), but Sycamore- isn't sure if these cats are really out there. So far, she hasn't received any signs that they may exist, hence her skeptical nature. Sycamore- is the only cat in her den right now, and can get lonely. She tends to get clingy and can come off as seeming desperate for companionship; she wouldn't mind taking an apprentice, but she wants to learn more about being a medicine cat before she takes on another cat to help her out. She's good at tracking and is unafraid of twolegs. She's devoted to the role, mostly because she feels that if she were to step down, the Clan would suffer from not having a medicine cat. History*
before she joined the Clan, she went by the name of Silk and lived with her Twolegs. They ended up abandoning her on the side of the road, for reasons unbeknownst to the molly. She wandered for a bit, and came across a group of cats that had recently formed NamelessClan. She learned of the medicine cat role and decided to step forward and take it, as no one else wanted to.
Other* often talks to inanimate objects when she's feeling particularly bored shortly after being named, she gave birth to three kits - she tried to name them Grubkit (brown and white tabby) Mackerelkit (mackerel silver tabby) and Maggotkit (light brown tabby), but was gently rebuffed by one of the cats and gave them more... appropriate names. They ended up being named Chubkit, Breamkit and Birchkit.
also, the clan isn't really called NamelessClan. ^w^ i just don't have a name for it right now. >>

AlpacaCat, Here you go!
Name: Oat- is for a golden-brown cat, and Oatclaw is tan. I am assuming a yellow-ish tan, so Oat couldwork. I would suggest Dandelion-, just because that's for a lighter pelt. Also, cats with the Dandelion- prefix tend to have thicker, heavier coats and you mentioned that Oatclaw did. For -claw, I see that they are amazing in battle. But that's it? I would suggest -fang, because -fang cats don't have time for idiots and can be very strict. In conclusion, Dandelionfang would be a better name.
Physical Description Okay. Tan. Golden tan, I believe? Eyes look good, don't mind anything else. Cool! The thicker pelt contributes to the Dandelion prefix, so that's one of the reason I chose that.
Skills/Personality Since they are amazing in battle, that's really the only coincidental trait for the -claw cat. Doesn't have time for "idiots"? Seems like a -fang cat,not really a -claw cat. I would prefer her skills and personaity to be a bit longer, it doesn't really give me anything else other than one skill and part of her personality. What about her hunting skills? It would be much more helpful to have more.
Other The suggested, alternate name would be Dandelionfang. Next time, just try to give more with skills and personality. Hope I helped!
Name: This is a bit hard! Just to see no white spotting and just black (no other colors), it was a bit frustrating. I like Copper-, since that's just a tortie. -heart seems like the best bet, just because the she-cat thinks before they do something, and is laid-back and calm. I was leaning toward a hunting/traking suffix, but it really didn't match for me. Copperheart!
Physical Description: I like the physical description of your cat! The eye color, pelt color, and the fact that you used an 'advanced' term (white spotting) shows you did your research, haha. Anyway, I like most of it.
Skills/Personality Hunting and Tracking, seems like a nose or whisker suffix. Although, with her other qualities, I was thinking about a different suffix, when I finally chose -heart. Very good, don't really see anything wrong about it.
Other
Very good, I loved helping to pick a name. Thank you!
railfur , I do agree, Murknose sounds quite cute. I'll be excited to rate Sycamore!
Name: Sycamore is pretty spot-on, nice job with that! With white-markings, what do you mean by that, and where? The image is very helpful, thanks with that. I think -cloud would just be the best suffix, based off of her talking to inanimate objects .Often, -cloud cats can become good Medicine Cats! Although they are more open towards StarClan, the fact she hasn't received any signs sorta explains why she is skeptical.
Physical Description: The image is particular helpful! I see no problem with anything else, so nice job with this.
Skills/Personality: I like how there is a lot of explanation! I see why she is skeptical of StarClan. Her being very devoted, and being desperate for a companion and wanting an apprentice shows signs toward a -cloud cat. Although, her being devoted towards being a Medicine Cat; maybe would she be more open to StarClan not needing to send a message just at that moment? Just a thought.
Other: Nice backstory! I love the kits, those are adorable. Good job with this character, I hope I helped!
thanks for the rate! c: sycamorecloud does sound nice, and yeah, i could see her being a -cloud cat. she's pretty patient and doesn't get riled up easily. she's still in development, of course, so i might send her again once she's more fleshed out if that's okay.
this time, i bring three new characters. they're a bit more developed than sycamorecloud, but still, i like getting an opinion on them. c:
Sandpaw/fang is good at hunting and fighting, though she doesn’t excel at either; her skills are just above average. She’s lax around outsiders (some would say even extremely so) because she’s so confident in her abilities and has been known to run her mouth because of it. She doesn’t mind criticism at all, and almost always shrugs it off. She’s arrogant, especially as an apprentice, though she does start to lose /some/ of it as she grows older. Kits and younger apprentices adore her because of her skills and general coolness (the older apprentices, not so much). She likes to boast about her catches and how she beat a warrior almost twice her size (she had help, of course, but she always seems to conveniently leave out that part…)
Her words can hurt people’s feelings, and she’ll apologize when she realizes she’s truly upset someone. This can come off as a bit insensitive however, but when she genuinely cares about the person, the response can be anyway from a scolding, a cold dismissal or a weary ‘it’s fine.’
History*
Was brought into the Clan as kit because her mother left the place she’d been staying with after the twolegs started to capture cats around the area. (it was TNR program and her mother was an indoor-outdoor cat). Her mother just so happened to be one of the cats that was TNR’d and after that, she returned to her kits and left for another place to stay (preferably away from humans). She came across the Clan, heard they needed cats, and settled in. Sandkit grew up in the camp, and became fast friends with Mudkit/whisker and eventually Heatherkit/heart.
Other*
good at tricking others and loves to play pranks
brags often
good at ambushing enemies
Name*
Heatherpaw/heart
Gender
Molly
Physical Description:
Light gray molly with blue eyes and white tail tip image
Skills/Traits/Personality
As the eldest kit of a litter of three and the first litter for her parents (her, a brother cinderkit and a sister falconkit), she set high expectations for herself. She has a willingness to prove herself as well as her morals. She’s gotten in trouble for vehemently disagreeing with the leader’s (unjust) decision and has tried to get cats to see it her way. She can come across as rash and has been known to disregard the opinions of others in her push to make other cats see her point of view. Is disliked by some cats, especially older ones when she was an apprentice; but she will be given a calm and open-minded mentor. Average in all skills. She has a very black and white view of the world and struggles with graying morality.
History*
One of the first litters born into the Clan and her parents being former rogues, she gave herself high expectations. Her parents were former rogues who joined the Clan because safety in numbers and all that. Her father was distant and didn’t spend much time with his kits (he was old and wanted to focus on his duties to the Clan). Her mother encouraged her kits to be strong warriors and Heatherkit would always listen intently and took her words to heart. (i.e. ‘a warrior must be x, y, and z.’) She threw herself into training, trying to gain her father’s attention. He finally complimented her one day when he joined her and her mentor on a patrol. Heatherpaw was ecstatic and made a promise to herself to work ever harder. Her father died before her warrior ceremony. She grieved for awhile, but threw herself into training and overworked herself to become the best – her skills still ended up being average. She earned the suffix –heart for her strong moral code and her sense of right and wrong.
Other*
i like heatherheart bc of the alliteration, but i also looked at some other prefixes that I liked for her too. Namely, ash-, willow-, orchid-, teasel-, comfrey-, or dove-. :v it’s hard to pick. any suggestions? or should i just pick the one i like best?
she doesn't see the point in keeping around weaker cats because well, that's just another mouth to feed, and the Clan has enough of those already.
became good friends with mudpaw/whisker, but sandfang and her started out disliking each other and now, they (begrudgingly) are able to stand next to each other without arguing.
heather- can’t track to save her life owo
Name*
Mudwhisker
Gender
Physical Description:
dark brown molly with yellow eyes and a very angular face (she's a chocolate smoke oriental with very obvious kittypet lineage) image
Skills/Traits/Personality
mudwhisker is a quiet cat, and can easily be overlooked by others. this leads her to struggling with feelings like she's contributing to the Clan, and she can (and has) gone further to help the Clan out. She's a good listener to friends - this makes her popular amongst older warriors - though she can easily become overwhelmed by loud cats or crowds and tends to avoid them. She was named Mud- for her dark brown pelt and -whisker for her excellent hunting skills.
History*
her mother came into the clan as a loner, and settled in. she gave birth to mudkit and two others, though they were stillborn. mudkit was doted on by her mother, and became fast friends with sandkit and heatherkit. her apprenticeship was average, though she showed a knack for hunting right off the bat as she would practice 'hunting' dead leaves and small rocks in camp.
Other*
loves listening to historical stories
pathetic at fighting
can't lie to save her life
sorry for not putting this whole thing in a spoiler tag - i tried it, and it kept only putting the headers (name* and stuff) in. :v

"Sometimes I dream about being in the forest, hunting with Brackenpaw, then I wake up and the pain in my leg reminds me that I'll never hunt again. It feels too much to bear. I have to pretend that maybe, one day, I'll be able to hunt again." -Cinderpelt
((I'm not here to ask for advice, just here to say how cool it is that so many people are into traditional naming styles! I'd also like to make a thread but I feel like it'd be pointless -if not, rather annoying- to have another person make one, but I find it very fun to talk about warrior names, especially ones that are traditional and generally make more sense!))
Name*: Honeyheart Gender: She-cat Physical Description: Slender, shorthaired golden-colored cat, with amber eyes and small tufts on her ears Skills/Traits/Personality: Honeyheart is understanding of her clanmates and other cats, and knows when to say the right things.. She will do whatever she thinks is right, and may defy the warrior code directly, or try to convince her leader, even if it seems hopeless. She is friendly to her clanmates, but her curiousity will often get her into trouble. She is prone to sickness, so she will often help the medicine cat or help inside the nursery. She isn't very good at fighting cats she's met previously, which is why she will stay silent or not talk to any cats except for her clanmates at the Gatherings. History*: N/A Other*: She can't stand the taste of squirrel. She likes walking along the borders and collecting feathers.
