RP WIDE CUSTOMS/TRADITIONS
BOWING TO HIGHER RANKS AND ELDERS
For both clans, it's expected that you show respect to the elderly and ones higher than you, like your leader, deputy or medicine cat. There are different levels of bowing depending on the situation. A full bow, as illustrated in the image above, is reserved for any lower ranked cat to a higher rank or elder. High ranks greeting each other usually only bow their heads to one another. High ranks aren't always going to bow back, but if they do, it usually means they trust and/or respect you as well, and typically comes from a good sense of honor.
FACE AND BODY PAINTING
Often a custom for festivals, cats of both clans paint their bodies with pastes/paints made from berries and flowers to show their pride in their clan. The designs of such paintings are found in their original threads, which will be listed below. Facial paints are usually more commonplace, since it's more suited for gatherings, though they are worn during festivals as well. Body paints are exclusive to festivals, but it is acceptable for a leader to make a change. Body paints can also just symbolize a cats rank, but it can also just be a design feature.
** NOTE: This is optional to put on presets, but not mandatory. If you want it on a preset and don't have many slots filled, I'd suggest making a normal and a festival version of your preset.

Other customs and traditions are soon to come, maybe some polls will be conducted?
