(Ceremony time, finally got to it ;-; )
Willowstar's remaining eye blinked open slowly as she woke up with a small yawn, she delicately uncurled from around the kits and nodded to Greyfur who moved to take her spot. Willowstar walked to the entrance of the Nursery and looked out to the waking clan, it seemed Hawkclaw hadn't had the chance to send out any patrols quite yet as there was still a good deal of cats waking up and moving through the camp's clearing. She shook sleep from her pelt before she moved elegantly out of the Nursery, making strides to the Highledge to speak. She waited on her perch until she felt sure that pretty much the whole clan had woke up. "All cats old enough to swim and catch fish, gather below me to hear my words." Willowstar called out strongly, making sure everyone knew her time in the Nursery haven't make her soft. Waterfallclan gathered below her, they knew there was to be a ceremony judging by the flowers that decorated Willowstar's scarred face. The she-cat watched with her icy blue eye as cats yawned and looked to her in interest. "Three apprentices have trained hard for moons and are ready to receive their warrior names! We will hunt at the camp's waterfall today but other then that let's honor this occasion, as always there will be no required patrols and duties as we welcome the new warriors before they do their vigil tomorrow night. Starclan has guided Gingerpaw, Brokenpaw, and Rabbitpaw well and before the dawn light of this day I name you under Starclan's will." She paused, taking a breath as Gingerpaw, Brokenpaw, and Rabbitpaw sat in a clear circle in the clearing below her. "Gingerpaw, you will be known as Gingersplash from now on for your elite swimming abilities that has aided and fed your clan well for these past moons! Brokenpaw, you will be known as Brokenwing from now on for even birds with broken wings will always have something important to give us! Rabbitpaw, you will be known as Rabbitleap from now on for your energy and the way you leap and bound around your clanmates, bringing good spirit to us all!" She paused between names to let them all get welcoming chants before she finished off the ceremony, dismissing everyone and allowing the new warriors to get welcomed by their clan mates.
Rabbitleap blinked, for a moment completely loosing all of her loquacious energy, until Gingersplash and Brokenwing bounded over to her, purring and meowing excitedly.
"I cannot believe we made it!" Brokenwing gasped, her dark eyes glittering. "We're warriors!"
"I'm going to go and find Dustypaw!" Gingersplash declared, trotting into the crowd.
"Oh, of course you are!" Rabbitleap snickered after the she-cat, earning a glare. "I think I should go find Nettlepaw," she murmured to Brokenwing. She trotted through the crowd to where her sister sat, a lone medicine cat apprentice. For once, Rabbitleap paused. Her sister's tan pelt clung to her body, ribs noticeable. She blinked. How blind had she been to her sister?
Slowly, she padded up to her. "N-Nettlepaw?"
Nettlepaw swung her head around, looking startled. "Rabbitleap." She dipped her head. "Congratulations."
"I'm your sister." Rabbitleap meowed, looking slightly hurt at her sisters coldness.
"And? What do you want me to do, call StarClan down so they can bow at your paws?"
Rabbitleap took a step back. "Sorry I even came over. I'm going to go and find Brokenwing and Sagepaw."

"Hi, Dustypaw!" Gingersplash trotted over, her head held high and her tail curled over her back.
