We've got the world, now we just need to fill it with cats. Each Clan will need a leader, deputy, and medicine cat. The main Clan (obviously) should have the most attention when making these. Generally, the allegiances should be like this:
General Allegiances:
- Each Clan has a leader, deputy, and medicine cat slot at the top, in that order
- Apprentices' names go under their mentors, being written as "Apprentice, Examplepaw"
- Extra groups are mentioned after the Clans, same with Cats Outside the Clans
- Apprentices do not have to be properly listed in minor Clans
Main Clan
- Around 8-10 warriors
- 1-5 apprentices
- 1-3 queens
- 1-5 elders
Secondary Clan (such as an attacking/rivaling Clan)
- Around 5-7 warriors
- 0-3 apprentices
- 0-2 queens
- 0-3 elders
Third Clan (A Clan that is a little more known, but don't really contribute)
- Around 4-6 warriors
- 0-3 apprentices
- 0-1 queens
- 0-1 elders
Last Clan (Fourth and onward; a Clan that doesn't contribute at all and aren't really mentioned)
- Around 3-5 warriors
- 0-2 apprentices
- 0-1 queens
Cats Outside the Clans (*You don't absolutely need to make rouge or loner characters, but just in case.)
- 1-5 cats that live in one place
- 1 cat traveling
- 1 cat as a loner (obviously)
In order to make up the names and appearances, try to go back to the sources listed in Character Design > Aesthetic Design. You don't need to put too much thought into all the warriors, just some basic character archetypes that are easily recognizable.
The planning process has finally been done! You made it! It's time to move on to the actual content of your fanfiction.
