Warrior Cat World[edit]
Welcome to the world of Warrior Cats. In this world, animals are as intelligent as humans. Only a language barrier and misunderstanding has prevented the two from knowing each other's true intelligence.
Sister[edit]
"Our ancestors were kittypets, as you call them. All the Sisters are descended from den-bound cats. Our first Mothers were one family."
— Moonlight to Squirrelflight
Physical Description[edit]
The Sisters are descended from a single kittypet (domesticated house cat) family, and as such, retain much of the physical appearances as their ancestors; notably having long, thick, and sleek fur, as well as being large and well-muscled. The Sisters are much larger and stronger than the average Clan cat (wild house cat). It is assumed that sisters are Maine Coon cats, the tenth largest house cat in the world.

History[edit]
Past of sisters in the warrior cat's book are not well known. When the Skyclan arrived at the lake, they need a space for themselves. Sisters were in the ideal location of the new Skyclan territory. Sisters did not want to move due to a new kit (kitten) has been born and they are too young to be moved. While Skyclan are willing to wait, the other clans grow impatient.
Before and after this event, sisters have helped out the clan cats. It is fragile peace and cooperation between the two.
Society[edit]
The Sisters appeal more to the she-cats of the group. The leader of the Sisters is always a she-cat, as none of the toms (male) stay past kittenhood (childhood). The cats of the group tend to call the older she-cats "Mother" even if not biologically related; cats of similar age often call each other "Sister", or "Sisters", while the toms are simply referred to by name only. While there is a leader, some she-cats, tend to also take on a leadership role but are never outright called a leader, acting as a second in command of sorts.
The Sisters have a dislike of toms, and more specifically ones not related to them. When the toms of the Sisters are around six moons, they are cast out from the group to "find their own path", as they believe the toms have a deep connection to the land and must wander and protect it, not tied to the Sisters. They decide specifically when a tom is ready by "The Claw Stars". A ceremony is held for the leaving toms at night. Toms that are cast out become loners (wild), rogues (wild), or kittypets (domesticated). Members are also taught basic herb knowledge, according, though are not as particularly skilled as a Clan's medicine cat (healer).
Given that the toms are cast out, the Sisters likely take a local loner, rogue, or kittypet as a mate when they temporarily settle down, or possibly when they are journeying. It is not mandatory for a she-cat to stay with the Sisters when pregnant, or has kits. The Sisters also help raise the kits alongside the mother.
Belief[edit]
All members of the Sisters and cats descended from them, can communicate with ghost cats. The exact reason for this is unknown. The Sisters believe their ancestors will guide them, similar to the Clans' beliefs of StarClan. The ancestors will follow the cats, regardless if they are a she-cat that stayed with the group or a tom that was cast out. When a member of the Sisters die, they go to the ghost residence (afterlife, ethereal plane), where they can communicate with their living kin and guide them.
Sister Names[edit]
Sister's names tend to be named after an animal or something part of nature.
Male: Grass, Stream, Spider, Mud, and Snail
Female: Snow, Flurry, Cloud, Hawk, and Moon
