It occurred to me to specify something I didn't point out when I originally uploaded this chapter. I've included a bit of real-life Warriors lore, back from when the series was just beginning. Originally, according to Victoria Holmes, one of the Erins, Tigerclaw's name was going to be Hammerclaw. It was changed because clan cats would have no idea what a hammer was.


Dear Fanfiction,

What in the name of StarClan is a hammer? Hammerclaw? Why do twolegs see fit to give their warriors such odd names? We have names from Appledusk, to Brindleface, to Tigerclaw, but, to my knowledge, there's never been an apprentice named Coyotepaw. What is a coyote? And don't even get me started on Starstar. I don't even want to talk about how mouse-brained that name is.

Sincerely, Yellowfang


Some people give their OCs weird names. Bubblepaw, Coyotepaw, and Racewind come to mind. I think most of us know about Starstar.
