-The tribe Windrunner gets their name changed to Windrunner when they are accepted into that rank. The only ones who may call the Windrunner by their former name is their mate; and as a sign of respect not in public. Any cat asking a favor or trying to gain the Windrunner’s favor could even say “Windrunner FormerName”, to show that they’ve known each other a long time - more often or not though, this is the Caller or Commander to do this.

- The Windrunner is chosen through several means. When the Windrunner dies, the Caller shares their visions of whom they believe would make the best canidates (they choose anywhere from 3-5), the Commander fights against them (as a group) and whoever doesn’t yield and defeats the Commander is chosen through vote by the Tribe. If there is only one cat left there is no vote; and if the Commander wins, they become the next Windrunner.

- The Commander is chosen through different means as well. If the Commander dies, the Windrunner chooses who will take their place. A Commander can be challenged by an Out-Runner; and if defeated they step down to the new Commander - the winner. If a Commander is seen as acting unjustly, the Windrunner will challenge them; if the Commander wins, they become Windrunner; if the Commander loses, they are Forsaken, and the Windrunner chooses a new Commander. Other than that, the same Commander lives on in their rank until they wish to retire - in which case they choose their own replacement. 

- Great Commanders are given the name change involving “Sun” as they blind threats to the tribe and brighten the path the Windrunner walks.

- The Caller is given to the tribe through spiritual guidance. Some Callers have apprentices they teach when it comes to herbs, but usually one will shine the brightest. Like Commanders, Callers can remain in rank their entire life, and are usually only replaced in death or retirement.

- Many names are short and simple; some have an almost warrior feel, and others are more tribe-like. Names like Hawk, Black Moore, and Redleaf are not uncommon while all being mixed. However, name changes are very rare, and a name is for life for most. However it is taboo to use the name “Sun” as it shows a very confident Sister to name her kit something that only Commanders earn; and most attempts are challenged to be changed unless the Caller says otherwise. No cat may have the name Windrunner, but Wind and Runner are not taboo. However no cat would dare be bold enough to attempt aiming a kit “Wind Runner”.

- Cats claim a young Brood to train as their Watcher; taking pride in wanting to teach young minds. 

- The tribe does have a wedding ceremony, but more on this later.

- The Windrunner ceremony is done when the Windrunner accepts their role; they are circled by their tribe with their eyes closed, their old name chanted quietly and as the cats get louder it becomes “Windrunner”. It is normally during this time the coming leader has a vision and receives nine lives. When the Windrunners eyes open and they scream “Windrunner” back, the ceremony has ended. They are not supposed to do this until their dream vision is over. Past Windrunners have lost out on receiving all nine lives by doing this out of instinct from the painful experience of getting a few lives.
