I know in a lot of real societies that treat women as property, the most respected members of the community (usually the oldest) get more women than the less respected members (the youngest), who have to wait their turn. Does ThunderClan work like that in your AU, or is attaining a she-cat at 6 moons considered as a coming-of-age thing?
It varies by leader, since they assign owners. But most favor themselves and their friends, since mollys are a status symbol. Then the senior warriors/ elders and other high ranks. Its rare for a 6 moon old Tom to actually get a molly when they are apprenticed.
When it does happen, the toms are seen as blessed and mature. Surely the leader saw potential to give them a molly so young.
So short answer, yes.
