[/u]Underlined names need to be changed for occasion[/center][/size][/color][/font][/b]
-Meeting-
"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey join together for a clan meeting."
-Apprentice-
"This moonhigh, we gather together to name a new apprentice. From this day forward, until they have earned their warrior name, this kit will be known as Missingpaw. Secrethaven, you are ready to have an apprentice. You will be Missingpaw's mentor. Frostbite was your mentor, I hope that their skills and wisdom will pass through you to your new apprentice."
-Warrior-
"I, Secretstar, leader of ThunderClan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on this apprentice. They have trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend them to you as a warrior in their turn. Missingpaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code, and to protect and defend this clan, even at the cost of your life? [apprentices reply, if yes, continue] Then, by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name. Missingpaw, from this moment on, you will be known as Missingclover. StarClan honors you, and we welcome you as a full warrior of ThunderClan."
-Name-
"Spirits of StarClan, you know every cat by name. I ask you to take away the name from the cat you see before you, for it no longer stands for what they are. By my authority as Clan leader, and with the approval of our warrior ancestors, I give this cat a new name. From this moment on they will be known as Pridepelt. [add reason here if desired]."
-Deputy-
"I, Secretstar, say these words before StarClan, that the spirits of our ancestors, and Frostbite's spirit, may hear and approve of my choice. Pridepelt will be the new deputy of ThunderClan."
