Felicitas

Felicitas was not born into the pride. She met Zyvren, the first king, in the Dry Savannah. She became charmed by him when she saw him in when of his more benevolent moods, rather than his usual aloof mood. He was playing with a cub whom Felicitas happened to be the aunt of. Felicitas was swept off her feet by the lion, and joined his pride. However, she soon faced quite a disappointment. Zyvren had been claiming new lionesses for his pride because he had heard that some rather beautiful ones were around, and had thought she was one of them. She was not one of those lionesses, though.

Felicitas felt like an outcast, she was the first lioness in many years to have not been born into the pride. At times she wished she could just run away, but she still hoped that maybe she could find a place in this pride. It was doubtful due to the fact that Zyvren didn't even care about her enough to chase her off. She was completely ignored. The first month she lived with the pride, she starved. Despite their permanent abundance of food, she was not allowed a bite. Felicitas was even closer to running away, starvation encouraging her to escape. She was at the end of her rope. And then food was offered to her. Apollo, one of the current sub males, shared the food that the other sub male at the time, the devious Genesis, had given to him. Apollo became her guide to life in the pride, and Felicitas deeply admires him for that.
