Siku

Created in the Oasis - 11/23
Siku [Ice - Inuit]
As a three-day-late gift for King Chitraka's tenth birthday and a way to show his pride in how far the younger king had come, King Caelestinus gave Chitraka a small bundle of Gold Beetles from his personal stash. Like an excited adolescent on her first hunt, Chitraka took a trip to the Oasis to see what he could get himself. However, he felt that none of the items there were fitting enough. Chitraka knew that Marvela was knocking on Death's door, and he would lose his lead huntress any day. The hunting party needed a new member. He offered his Gold Beetles to the Oasis, and from out of the mist strutted a young lioness, sporting the newly discovered Silver fur. She introduced herself as Siku, and- in sharp contrast to Cael's Chione -kindly requested to join King Chitraka's pride. The lion accepted her request, and on that day, Siku joined the Mbingu hunting party.
Unfortunately, when the day of Marvela's passing came, Siku was far too young and inexperienced to lead a hunt herself. Instead, Tusara took up the open spot of lead huntress.
[As an added bonus, King Caelestinus also used his personal piety to apply White Cobweb to Siku. {It was supposed to be 100%, but 94% at application is close enough!}]
"Tired from a long day of exploring, you flop next to Siku. She starts telling you an embarrassing story from a pride mate's cubhood. You're soon laughing too hard to be tired."
"Siku pushes away another lioness trying to greet you, demanding you greet her first. Right now. After all, the fun does not start until she's around."
"You go up to take a nap with Siku. She jokes that if you start snoring, you may find some maggots in your nose. You lie awake next to her and wonder if she really meant that."
