I know there were people who won multiple times, but I honestly thought their names were the most creative. So to everyone who entered, congratulations!
This contest, rather than having lots of categories, we're going to make things a bit hard. I'm going to give you a brief description of not a cat, but a Clan. What you are going to do is one, name the Clan, and two, name the leader, based solely on the information I give you.
As always, be creative, but avoid Twoleg references or completely outrageous names.
This clan is an old clan, ancient, in fact, and their numbers are small. They have seen and weathered many seasons, fought many battles, and had many great warriors. However, this once thriving clan is slowly dying because of members lost to battles and disasters alike. All the same, its warriors are steadfast and spirited; they do not back down from the clans around them simply because they are withering.
This clan lives on the scrublands, a semi-arid, dry area with hard, rocky ground, short, thin trees, and springy, scraggily plants. There is a river providing water at their farthest border, closer to the nearby mountain, and it does not rain often. Days are hot and nights cold. Their prey consists mainly of birds and some mice, voles, or rabbits.
The current leader of the clan is not young, but not old, and though somewhat hampered by old wounds, their faith in StarClan and their clanmates shines as brightly as the stars. They lead their clan with fairness and grim determination.
The clan's camp is in a shallow dip in the ground, what may once have been a pond, surrounded by trees and bushes, hiding it. There are no thunderpaths within their territory, nor are there any very tall trees, grass, or dense vegetation. Thus, the cats' advantages lie in their strong legs, tough pads, and thin, usually dusky colored bodies.
These cats are well-aware their clan is dying out; they know they can't have more than a few generations left. But still they carry out their daily duties and protect their territory with inspiring vigor.
Rules:
Only enter one name for the Clan and one for the leader.
Try not to repeat names.
Be creative, but realistic. Do not go over-the-top with the Clan name. Do not name the Clan after the leader or vice versa.
Have fun!
A/N: Never again...*sits with Golem in his corner*
EDIT: It's come to my attention that the description can be interpreted as five different Clans rather than one. Note that they are all about the same Clan; one Clan and their leader are being named here.
