学徒(英Apprentices)是年满六个月或更大龄的族群猫,在导师的指导下接受武士训练(或在一些情况下接受巫医训练)。所有的学徒的名号后缀都是“爪”(如狮爪、风爪、叶爪等),这象征着他们的爪子已经踏上了成为武士(或巫医)的征程,直到他们获得完整的名号。多数学徒晋升时仅仅把名号中的“小”或“崽”替换成了“爪”,但在一些极罕见的情况中,他们的名字被完全更改(如小蹦)。当族群的族长认为学徒已经习得了足够的知识和技能时,学徒就可以晋升为武士。
在族群营地中,学徒们拥有他们自己住宿的巢穴。当一名学徒获得他或她的武士名号时,他们就成为了正式武士,有能力履行他或她的武士职责,并将搬入武士巢穴。有时候学徒会被称作“爪字辈”(《战声渐近》)。只要获得许可,武士学徒可以转职为巫医学徒,反之亦然。如果武士学徒经历了某些重伤,如炭爪,他们也可以转职为巫医学徒。
学徒的职责包括接受他们导师给予的训练、外出捕猎、随族里其他猫一同参与边界巡逻队以及照料长老(通常是为长老们捉虱子)。他们依旧好动而喜欢取乐,有一个古老的学徒恶作剧就是哄骗幼崽相信兔子屎其实是某种好吃的莓果。
没有导师或其他武士的允许,学徒不得擅自离开营地。在没有特殊许可的情况下,他们必须等长老和猫后优先进食之后才能吃饭。如果学徒违背了守则,他们一般会受到惩罚,比如说为长老捉虱子。当发现虱子时,他们会用沾有老鼠胆汁的苔藓拍打虱子使其掉落。另一种惩罚是清理陈旧的垫铺并换上新鲜的苔藓。其他的一些惩罚措施通常与他们犯的错误相关。一些情况下,族长会禁止犯错的学徒参加下一次森林大会。学徒一旦开始训练就会变得十分辛苦,连好好睡上一觉都成为了梦寐以求的奖励。
幼崽通常会在年满六个月时接受导师的训练。在学徒仪式上,族长将会依据资历及与学徒的配合度任命一名武士为学徒的导师。这名导师将负责训练学徒。接受训练之后,当族群依旧生活在旧森林中时,学徒将会跟随导师前往月亮石接受星族的祝福,但在四族迁徙至湖区时,这个习俗就消失了。
武士学徒跟着他们的导师接受训练。在旧森林中,雷族学徒会在沙坑接受战斗训练;到了湖区之后,战斗训练的地点是苔藓坑。作为学徒,族群猫将会学习格斗技巧和捕猎技能,并逐步熟悉与理解武士守则。学徒通常不会接受他们直系血亲的训练,因为武士可能会对血亲不够严格。(但一个著名的特例便是火心成为了外甥云爪的导师。)
在学徒通过了最后的测评、导师也对他们已掌握的技能感到满意之后,他们就会在武士仪式上晋升为真正的武士。新武士必须整晚静默守夜。
测评是导师对学徒的考验。当一名导师让学徒参加测评时,他们会暗中观察学徒的捕猎情况,并评判他们的表现优劣。在最后的测评中,只要学徒的导师对他们的表现表示认可,学徒就将晋升为武士。
巫医学徒与正式巫医一起住在巫医巢穴里,他们会在月亮石或是月池取得全名。与武士学徒不同的是,无论获得全名与否,只要他们的导师还在履行巫医职责,他们的身份就依旧是学徒。
多数巫医学徒一离开育婴室就表现出了对治疗的偏好。如果有需要,幼崽和其他学徒也会给巫医帮忙。
巫医学徒会学习治疗族猫的技能与知识,比如如何照顾病猫,以及各种药草的功用。他们通常在巫医巢穴中受训,当收集草药时也会离开营地。他们还要学习如何解读星族传达下来的征兆。
当巫医对他们的学徒所掌握的能力感到满意时,他们就会通过一场与常规学徒晋升稍有不同的仪式赐予学徒全名。巫医学徒取得全名后仍保持学徒的身份,直到上一任巫医退休或加入星族。

超龄学徒
迅爪、亮爪和刺爪——由于蓝星的精神失常症,他们都当了过久的学徒。
其他特殊情况
雪毛和蓝毛——她们没有拜访月亮石就成为了武士,而那本来是所有学徒必须经历的传统。
蛾翅——她的导师泥毛在她完成她的受训之前就去世了。

見習生(英Apprentices)是年滿六個月或更大齡的部族貓,在導師的指導下接受戰士訓練(或在一些情況下接受巫醫訓練)。所有的見習生的名號後綴都是「-掌」(如獅掌、風掌、葉掌等),這象徵著他們的爪掌已經成長,直到他們獲得完整的名號。多數見習生晉升時僅僅把名號中的「小」替換成了「掌」,但在一些極罕見的情況中,他們的名字被完全更改(如小跳)。當部族的族長認為見習生已經習得了足夠的知識和技能時,見習生就可以晉升為戰士。
簡介
在部族營地中,見習生們擁有他們自己住宿的巢穴。當一名見習生獲得他或她的戰士名號時,他們就成為了正式戰士,有能力履行他或她的戰士職責,並將搬入戰士窩。有時候見習生會被稱作「掌字輩」(《戰聲漸近》)。只要獲得許可,戰士見習生可以轉職為巫醫見習生,反之亦然。如果戰士見習生經歷了某些重傷,如煤掌,他們也可以轉職為巫醫見習生。
職責
見習生的職責包括接受他們導師給予的訓練、外出狩獵、隨族裡其他貓一同參與邊界巡邏隊以及照料長老(通常是為長老們捉虱子)。他們依舊好動而喜歡取樂,有一個古老的見習生惡作劇就是哄騙小貓相信兔子屎其實是某種好吃的莓果。
任務與守則
沒有導師或其他戰士的允許,見習生不得擅自離開營地。在沒有特殊許可的情況下,他們必須等長老和貓后優先進食之後才能吃飯。如果見習生違背了守則,他們一般會受到懲罰,比如說為長老捉虱子。當發現虱子時,他們會用沾有老鼠膽汁的苔蘚拍打虱子使其掉落。另一種懲罰是清理陳舊的墊鋪並換上新鮮的苔蘚。其他的一些懲罰措施通常與他們犯的錯誤相關。一些情況下,族長會禁止犯錯的見習生參加下一次大集會。見習生一旦開始訓練就會變得十分辛苦,連好好睡上一覺都成為了夢寐以求的獎勵。
教育
小貓通常會在年滿六個月時接受導師的訓練。在見習生儀式上,族長將會依據資歷及與見習生的配合度任命一名戰士為見習生的導師。這名導師將負責訓練見習生。接受訓練之後,當部族依舊生活在舊森林中時,見習生將會跟隨導師前往月亮石接受星族的祝福,但在四族遷徙至湖區時,這個習俗就消失了。
戰士見習生跟著他們的導師接受訓練。在舊森林中,雷族見習生會在沙坑接受戰鬥訓練;到了湖區之後,戰鬥訓練的地點是苔蘚坑。作為見習生,部族貓將會學習格鬥技巧和狩獵技能,並逐步熟悉與理解戰士守則。見習生通常不會接受他們直系血親的訓練,因為戰士可能會對血親不夠嚴格。(但一個著名的特例便是火心成為了外甥雲掌的導師。)
在見習生通過了最後的測評、導師也對他們已掌握的技能感到滿意之後,他們就會在戰士儀式上晉升為真正的戰士。新戰士必須整晚靜默守夜。
測評
測評是導師對見習生的考驗。當一名導師讓見習生參加測評時,他們會暗中觀察見習生的狩獵情況,並評判他們的表現優劣。在最後的測評中,只要見習生的導師對他們的表現表示認可,見習生就將晉升為戰士。
巫醫見習生
巫醫見習生與正式巫醫一起住在巫醫窩裡,他們會在月亮石或是月池取得全名。與戰士見習生不同的是,無論獲得全名與否,只要他們的導師還在履行巫醫職責,他們的身份就依舊是見習生。
多數巫醫見習生一離開育兒室就表現出了對治療的偏好。如果有需要,小貓和其他見習生也會給巫醫幫忙。
巫醫見習生會學習治療族貓的技能與知識,比如如何照顧病貓,以及各種藥草的功用。他們通常在巫醫窩中受訓,當收集草藥時也會離開營地。他們還要學習如何解讀星族傳達下來的徵兆。
當巫醫對他們的見習生所掌握的能力感到滿意時,他們就會通過一場與常規見習生晉升稍有不同的儀式賜予見習生全名。巫醫見習生取得全名後仍保持見習生的身份,直到上一任巫醫退休或加入星族。
特殊情況
超齡小貓
小曲——他比其他貓當了更久的小貓,因為他的下巴受了傷,而且這也是對他擅自逃離部族的行為的懲罰。
超齡見習生
疾掌、亮掌和刺掌——由於藍星的精神失常症,他們都當了過久的見習生。
其他
雪毛和藍毛——她們沒有拜訪月亮石就成為了戰士,而那本來是所有見習生必須經歷的傳統。
蛾翅——她的導師泥毛在她完成她的受訓之前就去世了。

An apprentice is a cat of six months or older who is trained as a warrior (or, in some cases, as a medice cat) under a mentor. The suffix for all apprentice names is "paw" (likeLionpaw, Breezepaw, Leafpaw, etc.), symbolizing that their paw has embarked on the journey to become a warrior (or medice cat) until they acquire the full title. Most apprentices only change the name "kit" to "paw" when they are promoted, but in some very rare cases, their names are changed completely (such as Hopkit). Apprentices become warriors when the clan's patriarch believes they have acquired enough knowledge and skills.
In the clans, apprentices have their own den. When an apprentice acquires his or her warrior title, they become real warrior, capable of performing his or her samurduties and moving into the warrior den. Sometimes apprentices are referred to as "paw-children" (Fading Echoes). With permission, a warrior apprentice can become a medice cat apprentice, and vice versa. If a warrior apprentice experiences some serious injury, such as Cinderpaw, they can also become a medice cat apprentice.
The apprentice's duties include receiving training from their mentor, going out hunting, joining the border patrol with other cats in the family, and caring for the elders (usually to catch lice for them). They are still active and playful, and there is an old apprentice trick is to trick the kits into believing that rabbit shit is actually some kind of delicious berry.
Apprentices are not allowed to leave the clan without the permission of a mentor or other warrior. Without special permission, they must wait for the elder and the cat to have priority before eating. If apprentices break the rules, they are usually punished, for example by catching lice for the elders. When lice are found, they beat them to the ground with moss stained with rat bile. Another punishment is to remove old bedding and replace it with fresh moss. Other punishments are often related to their mistakes. In some cases, the patriarch will prohibit errant apprentices from attending the next forest congress. Apprenticeships become so demanding once they start training that even a good night's sleep becomes a coveted reward.
Kits are usually trained by their trainers when they are six months old. At the apprenticeship ceremony, the patriarch appoints a warrior as the apprentice's mentor based on seniority and compatibility with the apprentice. The mentor will train the apprentices. After training, the apprentice will follow the master to the moonstone to receive the blessings of the star race while the tribe is still living in the old forest, but this custom disappears when the four clans migrate to the Lake Area.
Warrior apprentices are trained with their masters. In the old forest, ray apprentices receive combat training in bunkers; Once in the Lake Area, the site of combat training is a moss pit. As an apprentice, the cats will learn fighting skills and hunting skills, and gradually become familiar with and understand the warrior code. Apprentices are not usually trained by their immediate family, as the samurai may not be strict enough. (with one notable exception, Fireheart became his nephew Cloudpaw’s mentor.)
After the apprentice passes the final assessment and the mentor is satisfied with the skills they have mastered, they are promoted to the real warrior in the warrior ceremony. The new warrior must keep silent all night.
The test is the mentor's test of the apprentice. When a mentor asks apprentices to take a test, they observe the apprentices' hunting and judge their performance. In the final assessment, apprentices are promoted to warrior as long as their mentor approves of their performance.
Medice cat apprentices live in a medice cat's den with the official healer, and they take their full names from the Moonstone or Moonpool. Unlike warrior apprentices, they remain apprentices regardless of their full name, as long as their mentor is performing his or her role as a medice cat.
Most sorcerer apprentices show a preference for treatment as soon as they leave the nursery. Kits and other apprentices will also help the medicine cat if needed.
Medicine cat apprentices learn the skills and knowledge of healing the family cat, such as caring for sick cats and the use of various herbs. They are usually trained in a medice cat's den and leave the camp when collecting herbs. They also learn how to interpret the signs of the astros.
When the medicine cat are satisfied with their apprentices' abilities, they give them their full names in a ceremony slightly different from the traditional promotion of an apprentice. A medice cat apprentice who takes his full name will remain an apprentice until the previous witch doctor retires or joins Starclan.
