In the Warriors universe, the feline characters in Clans (ThunderClan, RiverClan, WindClan, ShadowClan, and SkyClan) have names composed of two parts. Each cat's name has a prefix (Dawn, Bramble, Lion, etc.) which generally stays constant throughout their life. The name suffix varies through the character's lifespan and position within the Clan, with the bestowing of the new name being a component of the ceremonies marking these role changes. As a kitten, the character's name ends with "-kit" (Dawnkit, Bramblekit, Lionkit, etc.). Upon becoming an apprentice (a warrior or medicine cat in training), "-paw" replaces "-kit" at the end of the character's name (Dawnpaw, Bramblepaw, Lionpaw, etc.). When the character completes their apprenticeship and is promoted to a warrior or medicine cat, the suffix to their name is then changed to one chosen by the Clan leader (Dawnpelt, Brambleclaw, Lionblaze, etc.). If a cat becomes a Clan leader, they are granted the suffix "-star" at the end of their name (Dawnstar, Bramblestar, Lionstar, etc.). |
||
This naming convention does not hold for non-Clan characters. For example, in The Tribe of Rushing Water, a cat's name is said to be the first memorable thing their mother sees after giving birth (for example, "Brook Where Small Fish Swim" and "Night of No Stars"). These names remain unchanged with one exception: when a Tribe cat becomes Teller of the Pointed Stones (a position akin to the Clan leader and medicine cat combined), their name becomes Teller of the Pointed Stones, or Stoneteller. |

'''BloodClan''' is a group of ex-kittypets, rogues, and loners (cats who are not kittypets or part of a Clan) living in the large section of human [[suburb]]s (Twolegplace) located outside the forest, distinguished by the fact that they wear collars laden with teeth. BloodClan does not have a warrior code, do not believe in StarClan, and do not have the organization structure found in the other Clans. As a result, BloodClan is run in the style of a [[dictatorship]], and cats who either break the rules or desire to leave are maimed or killed.<ref name="darkest" /> |

He also wears a collar around his neck similar to Scourge's.

||
== StarClan == |
|||
After death, most of the spirits of Clan cats join to StarClan. StarClan is said to be represented by Silverpelt (the [[Milky Way]]), and each individual star represents a single dead warrior. Once a cat dies, he or she joins StarClan in a form in which he or she was most comfortable in. For example, blindness and deafness would be cured, unless the cat had been happier being deaf or blind. StarClan's territory is a forest that is perpetually in warm, comfortable, summer-like conditions. There are neither conflicts (usually) nor disease present. StarClan cats do not remain in StarClan eternally. Instead, they are eventually forgotten by the living and their spirits in StarClan fade slowly away, as mentioned in ''Fading Echoes''.<ref name="fading" /> |
|||
StarClan warriors keep watch over the Clans, usually watching their own Clan. They provide guidance to the Clans, often in dreams and other signs and omens. StarClan usually visits leaders and medicine cats. Often, this occurs with medicine cats at either the Moonstone revealed in ''Into the Wild'' or later at the Moonpool revealed in ''Starlight''. StarClan cannot or do not choose to influence events in the real world. However, in ''Firestar's Quest'', Spottedleaf visited both Firestar and Sandstorm, and treated an injured warrior, showing that StarClan indeed has some level of effect on the real world.<ref name="firestar" /> The fact that Cinderpelt was reincarnated as Cinderheart is contradictory to that StarClan cannot influence the real world, although they may have chosen to do so. |
|||
== The Place of No Stars/The Dark Forest == |
|||
The Place of No Stars, also known as the Dark Forest, is where the spirits of cats who have caused great pain and suffering in the lives of others are banished to. In this place, although there is no sun, moon, or stars, the entire forest is bathed in a sickly glow. There is no prey and cats feel no hunger either. Cats known to walk the Dark Forest at some point in time include Thistleclaw, Tigerstar, Hawkfrost, Brokenstar, Darkstripe, Clawface, Mapleshade, Shredtail, and Snowtuft.<ref name="fading" /> Victoria Holmes revealed on the website concerning fantasy authors ''Wands and Worlds'' that StarClan and the Dark Forest exist on different planes; however, there is a clear border between the territories, marked by a wall of mist. |
|||
Many Clan cats visit the Dark Forest for training during ''Omen of the Stars''. However, many of them are oblivious to the fact that the warriors of the Dark Forest are training them to destroy the Clans, including StarClan, in their upcoming battle. Instead, they tell the Clan cats that they are training them to become better warriors. In the Dark Forest, cats who wish to leave are killed. The cats in training are ordered to fight with their claws unsheathed, which causes wounds in the waking world. Some of the Dark Forest warriors demonstrate what they will be training by using other Dark Forest warriors as dummies. During many of the demonstrations the 'dummies' are maimed or killed. In ''Omen of the Stars'', Ivypool trains there, but when she realizes that it is not right, Jayfeather, Lionblaze, and Dovewing ask her to spy on the Dark Forest. |
|||
During the Great Battle, the Dark Forest is defeated, and as of ''The Place of No Stars'', it is an abandoned mess. |
|||
== The Tribe of Rushing Water == |
== The Tribe of Rushing Water == |
||
The Tribe of Rushing Water is a group of smaller cats living in the northern caves of the mountain range that divides the forest territories and the lake territories. Tribe cats do not believe in StarClan; however, they have their own spiritual equivalent, the Tribe of Endless Hunting. In the Tribe, there is no medicine cat or deputy: the leader, always known as Teller of the Pointed Stones, or Healer, serves both duties.<ref name="moonrise" /> Upon birth, Tribe cats are named by their mother for the first significant thing they see after the kit's birth. Eventually, a Tribe cat trains as a to-be, the equivalent of an apprentice. They can be either a cave-guard or a prey-hunter, based on their physical stature. Strong, sturdy cats are chosen to be cave-guards, whose job is to defend the Tribe's camp against intruders as well as provide cover for the prey-hunters while hunting. Prey-hunters, chosen for their slender, agile bodies, are adept at hunting in the rocky mountain terrain and can leap high enough to catch large birds. Cats with kittens are called kit-mothers.<ref name="catsotc" /> Tribe cats often cover themselves in mud in order to better blend in with their surroundings.<ref name="outcast" /> |
|||
The Tribe typically has no enemies, which often leaves them unprepared for attacks.<ref name="moonrise" /><ref name="outcast" /> They have a firmly rooted tradition, and as such do not welcome the beliefs of other cats. It is revealed in ''[[Outcast (Warriors)|Outcast]]'' of the ''Power of Three'' series that the Tribe is among the descendants of the ancient cats who originally lived in the lake territories.<ref name="outcast" /> |
|||
Throughout the series, the Clan cats commonly call the Tribe cats by the first word in their name, rather than the whole name (e.g., Lark, Pine, and Brook). |

The Warriors novel series is written by Erin Hunter. Due to the large number of characters present in the novel series, this list is divided by Clan.
Naming convention
In the Warriors universe, the feline characters in Clans (ThunderClan, RiverClan, WindClan, ShadowClan, and SkyClan) have names composed of two parts. Each cat's name has a prefix (Dawn, Bramble, Lion, etc.) which generally stays constant throughout their life. The name suffix varies through the character's lifespan and position within the Clan, with the bestowing of the new name being a component of the ceremonies marking these role changes. As a kitten, the character's name ends with "-kit" (Dawnkit, Bramblekit, Lionkit, etc.). Upon becoming an apprentice (a warrior or medicine cat in training), "-paw" replaces "-kit" at the end of the character's name (Dawnpaw, Bramblepaw, Lionpaw, etc.). When the character completes their apprenticeship and is promoted to a warrior or medicine cat, the suffix to their name is then changed to one chosen by the Clan leader (Dawnpelt, Brambleclaw, Lionblaze, etc.). If a cat becomes a Clan leader, they are granted the suffix "-star" at the end of their name (Dawnstar, Bramblestar, Lionstar, etc.).
This naming convention does not hold for non-Clan characters. For example, in The Tribe of Rushing Water, a cat's name is said to be the first memorable thing their mother sees after giving birth (for example, "Brook Where Small Fish Swim" and "Night of No Stars"). These names remain unchanged with one exception: when a Tribe cat becomes Teller of the Pointed Stones (a position akin to the Clan leader and medicine cat combined), their name becomes Teller of the Pointed Stones, or Stoneteller.

Ice
Ice (born Jumper) is one of Barley's brothers who joined BloodClan and becomes one of Scourge's followers. He nearly killed his own sister, Violet.
Scourge
Scourge (Tiny at birth), a small black tom with icy blue eyes and a single white paw, rules BloodClan through fear and a survival-of-the-fittest mentality, and refuses to provide for any cat who cannot support themself. He permits the mates of she-cats nursing kits to hunt for their mates purely out of pragmatism, so that the Clan does not cease to exist when all the elder cats die and there are no younger cats to replace them. Despite his small size, he is a very capable and dangerous fighter, and neither any sort of warrior's ethical code nor merciful impulses restrain him in battle; he is brutal and ruthless (Rock says in Cats of the Clans that he lacks "any sense of right or wrong").[3][5] To show his capability to kill, he wears a collar studded with teeth from dogs and cats he has killed, and his claws have been reinforced with dogs' teeth. The color of his collar has not been mentioned in the books, but was colored purple in The Rise of Scourge. His weakness is revealed to be his skepticism towards StarClan, meaning he does not have nine lives.
It has been confirmed by the authors that Firestar is Scourge's half-brother (Scourge and Firestar share the same father),[26] as implied in The Rise of Scourge when Quince wonders about why her litter did not share its father's ginger color, making Firestar also the half-brother of Socks and Ruby, Scourge's littermates. Scourge is then related to Cloudtail, Leafpool, Princess, Squirrelflight, Whitewing, Dovewing, Ivypool, Lionblaze, Hollyleaf, Bramblestar, Alderheart, Sparkpelt, and Jayfeather.
Scourge's evil nature is explained in The Rise of Scourge. It is revealed that he was originally called Tiny, and from a young age, his brother Socks and sister Ruby treated him very badly, bullying him about his size and mocking him. His mother tells them not to pick on him, but never really defends him the way he wants her to. When Ruby tells him that he will be drowned in the river because no humans want to adopt him, Tiny runs away by himself. He wanders into forest territory and is attacked by Tigerpaw, who is patrolling the border of ThunderClan territory with Bluefur and his mentor, Thistleclaw. Tigerpaw wants to kill him, but is stopped at the last moment by Bluefur. Tiny develops a lifelong grudge against Tigerpaw because of this unfair fight. Afraid to go home and terrified to go into the forest and face more abuse from cats like Tigerpaw, Tiny soon moves to the alleys of a nearby city, where he stumbles across an old dog. One of its teeth falls out, and Tiny tries to use it to cut off his collar, though it just ends up stuck in his collar. He finds a group of cats who are eating a small piece of chicken from human garbage. In order to convince them to share their food with him, he makes up a story about killing a dog and ripping the tooth from its skull as a sort of trophy. Though skeptical, the cats let him have a bite.
The next day, however, a group of cats, led by two cats called Bone and Brick, have heard his story. Bone and Brick ask him to kill a dog behind a deli who is keeping them from a dumpster full of food. Afraid of the dog, but realizing that he will be revealed to be a liar and driven out if he refuses to fight the dog, Tiny approaches the dog. By sheer luck, the dog is frightened by Tiny's shadow, which appears about three times as large as Tiny really is, and flees; Tiny is clever enough to convince the other cats he frightened the dog away. The other stray cats are amazed and begin to look up to him. This is the point where he decides to change his name; the other cats have never asked for his name before, so instead of telling them his name is Tiny, he makes up the new, more intimidating name, Scourge. He becomes the leader by default, and cats begin to seek his advice and aid. A group of rogues from the forest wander in and begin bullying and abusing the local cats, who turn to their leader, Scourge, for protection. Scourge cannot bluff these cats as he tricked the dog, and the forest rogues openly mock and threaten him. Unwilling to back away from his position of power, Scourge kills one of them in cold blood, frightening the other forest rogues away and solidifying his hold over the alley cats.
Later, Socks and Ruby wander into his territory; they were adopted as house cats, but are left behind when their owners move. As dependent pets, they never learned to hunt for their own food, so they ask Scourge for help. Scourge questions why he should help them after everything they did to him, and shocks his siblings when he reveals he is the leader of BloodClan. Scourge ultimately allows them eat some of his food, then banishes them from his territory, completing his transformation into a cold-blooded villain.
Scourge forms the alley cats into BloodClan. They copy his ways, even making collars for themselves out of the teeth of the dogs they have slain and cats they have murdered. Scourge appoints Bone, a terrifyingly huge black-and-white cat, as his second-in-command. Tigerstar is led by Boulder, a former follower of Scourge, into Scourge's territory within the maze-like alleys. Tigerstar, who is at this point leader of ShadowClan, is slightly amused by the tiny leader, but after seeing the numbers of his followers and their collars, decides to ask Scourge to join him in battle against ThunderClan and WindClan, promising him a share of their land. He never intends to keep his word, thinking that once he has all the forest clans united under his rule, he will easily be able to get rid of Scourge, whom he severely underestimates because of Scourge's small size and Tigerstar's own arrogance. Tigerstar does not remember the time when he almost murdered the small black cat as a kitten, though Scourge remembers and despises him for it. However, he deliberately says nothing about their past confrontation, in hopes of getting revenge on Tigerstar later. When WindClan and ThunderClan still refuse to submit to Tigerstar, he orders BloodClan to attack, but Scourge's followers refuse to fight without Scourge's orders, enraging Tigerstar. When Scourge refuses to order BloodClan to attack, Tigerstar attacks Scourge, who proves more formidable than Tigerstar ever expected. Scourge takes his revenge by killing Tigerstar, slicing him open from chin to tail with his dog-teeth-claws, and watches him gleefully as he bleeds out. Later, during the battle with LionClan (all the warrior clans allied together), Scourge takes one of Firestar's lives, but is later slain by the ThunderClan leader.[27]

It is hinted in Outcast that these cats have ties to the Tribe of Rushing Water. In Long Shadows (fifth book in the third series Power of Three), Jayfeather convinces the group to journey to the mountains to live there, hinting they are the direct ancestors of the Tribe.[10]

The Sisters
The Sisters are a small group of nomadic she-cats who are descended from a single kittypet family (possibly Maine Coons). As such, they retain much of the physical appearances as their ancestors; notably having long, thick, and sleek fur, as well as being large and well-muscled. They are much larger and stronger than the average Clan cat, even more so than Bramblestar, who has long been regarded as one of the largest and strongest cats in the Clans.
As their name implies, the Sisters are a primarily all-female group; they exile their male kits once they reach their sixth moon, because they believe the toms have a deep connection to the land and must wander and protect it, not tied to the Sisters. However, it is also very heavily implied that the Sisters have a personal dislike for toms (more specifically ones not related to them), as Moonlight states that they prefer to live without toms, and Snow is openly prejudiced against toms. Aside from this questionable and sexist custom, the Sisters are generally peaceful and kind, as they dislike violence (though they are perfectly willing to be aggressive and forceful if necessary), honor nature, sing to honor the dead, and work together to raise kits. All members of the Sisters and cats descended from them, can communicate with ghost cats.
