Warrior Guide

Leaders

A leader is a warrior who is highest in the Clan Hierarchy. The leader is responsible for everything that goes on in a Clan.

Leaders are the head of their Clan. Their personality is the same as their Clan's and describes how their Clanmates treat others. The word of the Clan leader is law, proclamined by the warrior code, and all other Clan cats must obey them. They have their own den, and are assisted by a deputy in their tasks. They are responsible for the whole Clan, calling Clan meetings, appointing cats to new ranks, and making the toughest decisions.Each Clan has one leader, and their names end with the suffix -star. (Examples: Bluestar, Tallstar, Raggedstar) At some times, they can have their warrior suffix, but are still recognized as leader. However, this cat must be waiting to receive nine lives, and cannot properly lead without them.

In order to become leader, a cat must meet these qualifications:

Mentored at least one apprentice

Selected by the previous leader to become deputy

Must have been deputy at the time of the leader's death, retirement, or banishment (unless both the deputy and the leader die, as in the case of Flowerstar and Tigerstar)

In order for a cat to become leader, the previous leader must also be deceased, have retired, have left, or been banished.
