Leading a clan can be both difficult, and rewarding.
Your job as a clan leader is to hold all of the clan gatherings, ceremonies, report clan news at full moons, appoint new deputies, warriors, elders, apprentices/mentors, choose warrior names, and make all clan decisions. You can be a tough but fair leader, or a strict yet caring leader. It is your choice how you lead your clan, but you must follow the warrior code, and not be too ambitious.

Appointing a Deputy:
Leader: "I say these words before the body of **previous deputy**, so that his/her spirit may hear and approve my choice. **new deputy** will be the new deputy of **Clan name**."
Making Apprentices:
Leader: "By naming apprentices, we show that **Clan name** will survive and remain strong."
Leader: " From this moment on, until he/she has earned his/her Warrior Name, this Apprentice will be known as **kit name+paw**."
Leader: " **Mentor's name**, you are now ready to take on an apprentice. You will be mentor to **Apprentice's name**. ** Mentor's name**, you have shown yourself to be a warrior of ** Virtue #1 ** and ** Virtue #2 **. I'm sure you will pass on all you know to this apprentice."
New Mentor Ceremony
Leader: " I call upon my warrior ancestors to give this apprentice a new mentor. **Apprentice name**, you have lost your first mentor, so your new mentor will be **new mentor's name** "
Making Warriors:
Leader: **Mentors name**, are you satisfied that this apprentice is ready to become a warrior?"
Mentor: "Yes, she/he is ready"
Leader: "I (**Leader name**, leader of **clan name**) call upon my warrior ancestors to look down upon this apprentice. He/she has trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend him/her to you as a warrior in his/her turn."
Leader: " **Apprentice name**, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and defend this clan, even at the cost of your life?"
Apprentice: " I do "
Leader: " Then by the powers of Starclan I give you your warrior name. **Apprentice name**, from now on, you will be known as ** Warrior name**. ** Clan name** welcomes you as a full warrior."
Warriors to Elders:
Leader: " **Warrior name**, is it your wish to give up the name of warrior and go to join the elders?
New elder: 'it is'
Leader: " Your clan honors you and all the service you have given us. I call upon Starclan to give you many seasons of rest."
New Name:
Leader: "I call upon my warrior ancestors to take away the name of this cat. For it now longer stands for who she/he is. **Cat name**, from now on, you shall be known as **new name**.

Medicine Cat:
