Welcome to Desire!
First, let me explain Downytuft. He's not like the direction down. It's a type of feather that some birds have to keep them warm. [This reminds me of Dipperflight from Crows, lol.] It may look like this.

Now that's cleared up, time to explain ranks!

Kings>> Their the most powerful cats in the kingdom. There can only be two at time and are only toms. If one dies, an advisor will become king.

If they pass, the head advisor gives them a new suffix -pool or anything water related like -creek or -river.

They have  strong herb knowledge and speak to the Sky Kingdom every full moon unless there's a emergency. Healer apprentices train longer than regular apprentices. They have varying suffixes.

Strikers>> Strikers are usually the broad-shouldered and muscular cats. They can be tom or she-cats and their main duty is to defend the camp. Their the ones that do border patrols and may train trainees. Their required to learn basic hunting skills. They may have a mate or kits and have varying suffixes.
