Hi! Thanks for clicking in. I'm no expert story writer, but the idea I had was good enough that I was thoroughly persuaded to write it. With any luck, I'll be able to finish it.
As this is traditional, the prefixes fit the pelt and the suffixes shine some light on what they're skilled at or what notable traits they have. I generally mean what I type in terms of name here - for example, Brambling- is different than Bramble-, since brambing- represents the type of bird.
Information on Traditional Naming can be found on Ailuronymy's blog on Tumblr; and no, I don't take character requests! I appreciate the thought, though.
BirchClan
/ This Clan is nestled on a slope, interwoven with three small brooks (one in the east and two in the west that intertwine near the northernmost slopes) among birch trees; oak trees are also somewhat uncommon. The camp is hidden in a small ditch/ravine. Common skills are hunting and climbing. Though not usually sturdily built, these cats tend to have muscular legs and long, agile bodies, perfect for hiding in dips-in-the-earth. The common pelt colors are usually darker pelts, typically torties and tabbies, and rarely patched cats.
GlenClan
/ This Clan lives in a small, narrow 'valley' below the first one, though trees litter the slopes to either side. The creeks (at this point, just the two, since two connect near the mouth) create a 'gutter' on either side of it, serving as a sort of visual border. Common skills are agility (speed) and tracking. Their bodies are usually lean and long-legged, and their pelts are lighter in coloration, typically with a large amount of white spotting or dilute variations of darker colors ('fawn' and grey, for example). Tabby is rare, while dilute torties aren't too uncommon.
The two Clans meet up monthly near the edge of the woods at a rocky outcropping. Two larger stones (slanted, pushed deep in the ground) allow leaders to step up and speak. Cats may sit around the outcrop haphazardly, and after so many seasons, a dip has been created in the earth around the rocks that makes the leaders appear to be higher up than they really are.
