Birdstar
SkyClan, truly, was thriving. Despite the circumstances of the forest, despite only returning to camp within the moon, SkyClan persisted. Cats were missing, and acknowledging their absent faces felt like a physical blow, but the sun rose and fell regardless– and with the sun turning, kits became apprentices, apprentices became warriors. Birdstar was pleased at the number of ceremonies conducted lately– and with her sister's recent litter, there would be more soon! Her nieces and nephews starting their warrior training forced a trill of excitement out of her, but she had to focus on the ceremony at paw for now. Leaping atop the Tallbranch, Birdstar swept her gaze across the clearing and yowled, "All cats old enough to climb the trees, gather beneath the Tallbranch for a Clan meeting!"

Smokepaw was relaxing near the fresh kill pile, a skinny finch between her paws. She pulled a mouthful of feathers from the breast, spitting them aside and running her tongue across her teeth to dislodge a stray. She took a bite from the defeathered bird, and that's when Birdstar's call rang out. Mouth full, she glanced up, swallowed, and then sat the bird aside to come back for later as she dutifully rose to her paws and padded closer to the Tallbranch to sit and await what the leader had to say.

Hearing Birdstar call out across the camp, Foxpaw dropped the moss ball he had been tossing about and lifted his head. He hoped it was a good meeting - maybe an apprentice ceremony, a warrior ceremony perhaps. Nothing bad. Please.

Birdstar watched the crowd gather, spotting Smokepaw as she set aside her bird and joined the growing crowd. "Smokepaw, step forward, please," she called once the Clan had gathered, waiting another few moments for the apprentice to do so. Once she had, the leader went on, "StarClan, I call upon you to look down on this apprentice. She's trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend her to you as a warrior in turn. Smokepaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code, to protect and defend your Clan, even at the cost of your life?"
It took only a moment for Birdstar to continue, and when she did, Smokepaw's eyes widened slightly. She stepped forward as asked, looking up at the leader. This couldn't be her warrior ceremony? But she was sure she had so much to learn. Her gaze swept the crowd briefly, searching for Wolfblossom before returning to Birdstar at the question of her dedications. "I do!" She said, without hesitation.

Smokepaw, despite whatever hesitation she might have held, answered quickly and clearly. Birdstar bowed her head in a nod, pausing a moment before continuing. "Then I grant you your name as a warrior. From this day on, you will be known to all as Smokestep. SkyClan honors your empathy and kindness." Leaping off the Tallbranch, Birdstar crossed the distance between them to touch her nose lightly to the newly-named warrior's head. "Congratulations, Smokestep. I hope your vigil is quiet."
Wolfblossom knew what this meeting was for, and sat quietly near the edge of the crowd. It wasn't long before Smokepaw was called forward, and Wolfblossom could tell her apprentice was surprised by it. As the young she-cat looked around, their eyes met and Wolfblossomed offered her a warm smile. She could guess at what was going through her mind, but the apprentice had learned plenty. She understood the duties of a warrior, that was never in question. The oath came without hesitation, and pride swelled in Wolfblossom's chest to see another apprentice earn their name.
As the ceremony concluded, Wolfblossom approached her former apprentice with a smile. "Congratulations, Smokestep." She mewed, "I'm proud of you. You've learned well - being hesitant to raise claws is not a terrible thing." More cats ought to be hesitant about such, unless it was necessary.
