Name changing ceremony

A name changing ceremony takes place when a Clan leader decides to give a Clan cat a new name. This is usually done when the cat's old name does not suit them anymore, or due to an injury.
==Process==
When a cat's name no longer portrays who they are, a Clan leader can perform a ceremony to change it to a new name. Normally, the name is changed from the result of an injury. However, it can also be changed if a cat has been named incorrectly and the leader wants to rectify the mistake.
==Ceremony==
The leader calls a Clan meeting, and performs the change with the following words:
Leader: Spirits of StarClan, you know every cat by name. I ask you now to take away the name from the cat you see before you, for it no longer stands for what he/she is. By my authority as Clan leader, and with the approval of our warrior ancestors, I give this cat a new name. From this moment on he/she will be known as (new name), for (description of the reason).
