MOSSCLAN
Location-THE MOUNTAINS
Clan Personality-MossClan tends to be a very peaceful and kind Clan. They like to solve problems the "right way" without fighting, and they are very brave cats as well. They are kind to outsiders, but can be hesitant in case the outsider is dangerous. They are slightly hostile towards rogues, but they are welcoming to kittypets and loners, if loners are friendly when MossClanners meet them.
First Leader-Mossstar
First Deputy-Foxstar
Accept forbidden love?-Yes
Breeds-The general breeds found in MossClan are Abyssinians, Persians, Maine Coons, Siamese cats, and Norwegian Forest Cats.
Quirks-MossClan cats are usually great mountain climbers, and they are able to stand the elevation and temperature.
TRADITIONS AND CEREMONIES
Initiation Ceremony-The Initiation Ceremony is a ceremony that only involves outsiders becoming full-ranked members of MossClan. The outsider must first climb one of the highest mountains, retrieve an egg from a bird nest(this is usually difficult), and return it to Foxstar. Foxstar will then decide if they are to become members or not. If the outsider is accepted, they will be given a warrior ceremony as usual.
Monthly Hunts-During each month, usually a hunt will be held, located at the Mountains. Foxstar will lead the hunt, with queens and kits being exceptions. For the hunt, the main goal is to catch a large animal like an elk or deer. Once the hunt is successful, prey will be brought back to camp, and a feast will happen, with leftover meat scraps being placed in the fresh-kill pile. During this special meal time, anyone can eat no matter the rank.
Honoring of New Age-Once a kit reaches the age of 4 moons, a special ceremony will be held as the kit gets closer to becoming an apprentice. The kit(s) will be given lots of prey and be treated as special. Even the leader may delay eating for themselves just to honor the kits.
Rocks-When a kit reaches 6 moons, before they can become an apprentice, they choose a special rock or pebble found among the Mountains. Once they have found one, they keep that rock or pebble until they become a warrior, and then they place the pebble or rock into a lake nearby. There is a rare chance the rocks or pebbles may wash up again.
Deputy Oath-When a warrior becomes a deputy, they have a very special ceremony after their deputy ceremony. The leader gives them an oath they repeat word-by-word, and then have to get their paw pad pricked by the leader. If the deputy handles the pain, they are forever recognized as the deputy of MossClan in the meantime.
Mourning Vigil-When a Clanmate dies, MossClan goes into a quiet vigil that usually lasts for 2 or 3 hours. During this time, warriors, apprentices, and deputies are relieved of their duties and they mourn, usually staying quiet. This is a peaceful time, and during the vigil's conclusion, the leader will say a prayer to StarClan aloud. The deceased cat will then be buried, and flowers, pebbles, and rocks are usually placed on or by the grave in honor of the cat.
CREEKCLAN
Location-BACKBRIDGE CREEK
Clan Personality-CreekClan is known for being very "by the book" and strict. They hold a strong belief in the warrior code and will not tolerate any rule-breaking, especially their leader Creekstar.
First Leader-Creekstar
First Deputy-n/a
Accept forbidden love?-No
Breeds-The general breeds found in CreekClan are Siamese cats, bengals, Khao Manees, and Oriental Shorthairs.
Quirks-CreekClan cats are expert fishers and they love going for a swim in the creek under the bridge.
TRADITIONS AND CEREMONIES
The Great Swim-Whenever an outsider is about to be accepted into CreekClan, they must undergo something known as "The Great Swim". The outsider is tasked with swimming from the front of the creek to the back, and then swimming back front. Outsiders may have trouble if they are a "drypaw", and if they aren't good at swimming and never learned it.
Salmon Fishing-During newleaf or greenleaf, members of CreekClan, excluding kits and queens, will go to Backbridge Creek to fish for salmon. They try to catch as many salmon as they can, and then say a prayer to StarClan and proceed to have a feast. Leftovers are put in the fresh-kill pile.
Tail Docking-CreekClan is known for their tail docking. When a member betrays CreekClan, the medicine cat will be tasked with "docking" the tail of the betrayer without wrapping it, and then all of CreekClan chase off the new outsider. Apprentices are also sometimes tasked with undergoing a tail dock by the medicine cat to prove bravery, and then their docked, or bobbed tail is wrapped up.
Monthly Fishes-Every month a large hunt takes place in CreekClan. When this happens, CreekClan cats try to catch as many fish as they can, no matter the fish species. Monthly Fishes are very similar to Salmon Fishing. They share a "monthly hunt" similarity with MossClan, probably because the two Clans are allies.
