When a Catfolk is born, his or her parents usually bring the newborn to the clan's matriarch or patriarch to be named. The elder considers the circumstances surrounding the young one's birth and attempts to glean something from the child's future before assigning a name. Catfolk names are almost universally gender-neutral and usually relate to one of the circumstances of his or her birth, fur pattern, or something the elder saw in his or her future. Examples of Catfolk names include Forest, Teardrop, Snake, and Jade. For surnames, each Catfolk goes by the name of his clan, of which there are many due to their practice of splitting into new clans when one gets too big. Examples of clan names include Dark Forest, Long Claws, and Distant Star.Catfolk Personality
