Warrior Ranks

Leader - The leader is the leader of their clan. They are given 9 lives by Starclan. They choose a their deputy. The leader is the highest rank. They report at gatherings and they decide whether to go into battle. Also if they should take in outsiders. (In the actual warrior books Firestar takes in Daisy a cat from a human stable.) When making the hardest decisions the leader meets with the deputy, the senior warrior, the medicine cat and if the warrior is lucky some of the leader's most trusted cats. (for Firestar he might meet with Brambleclaw, Jayfeather, and sometimes Dustpelt, Brackenfur, Sandstorm and Graystripe)

Deputy - To have the rank of deputy is an honor because the deputy might one day be the leader of their clan. The deputy organizes the patrols. He or she also helps the leader on the toughest decisions. 

(In my version of warriors) Senior Warrior - In the true warrior books their is no senior warrior. In my version there is. If the deputy retires or is killed the senior warriors takes the deputy position. If the deputy is just ill or helping another clan the senior warrior fills in for the deputy. (then he or she returns to the senior warrior position when the deputy gets better or returns) The senior warrior makes sure every cat is doing what they are supposed to be doing or they are were they are supposed to be. The senior warrior makes sure all the patrols go out on time and that the kits stay in the camp and don't go wandering off. 

Medicine Cat - The medicine cat is in charge of sharing dreams with Starclan, interoperating omens from Starclan and healing their clan. The medicine cat gathers herbs and takes care of the clan is some cat is ill.

Warrior - Warriors hunt and fight for their clan. They patrol boundaries and fight other clans when it is necessary. Warriors are in charge of hunting and feeding their clan.  

Apprentice - The apprentices are the cats training to be warriors or sometimes a medicine cat. They learn from their mentor. (mentors are the warriors or the medicine cat given the honor of training the young cats of the clan). It is the apprentices' responsibility to look after and care for the elders. 

Queen - Queens are the she-cat warriors who choose to have kits. They return to their warrior duties after their kits become apprentices. 

Kit - Kits are the youngest member of the clan and the most protected. Kits play in the camp and aren't allowed to leave the camp until the are apprentices. Kits must be 6 moons (Months) before they can become apprentices.

Elder - Elders are the oldest members in the clan. (Sometimes the clan leader is older.) They retired after long services as a warrior or medicine. Then they stay in the elders' den and the apprentices look after them.
