~Personality~
Ebony is one of the more mischevious, prankster-like lionesses in the Kazuki Pride. She's not evil (no? not? ok, maybe a little), she just loves a good laugh. She's also stubborn, sometimes to the point of idiocy. If she wants to sunbathe instead of hunting no one in the world can force her to hunt, except Ken'ichi and perhaps Lahja. If you splash water on her to get her up and moving she simply explodes in fury, and everyone runs far, far away from a furious Ebony. But in the end she's not the kind that's angry for ages, she's as quick to fogive as she is to anger.
~Role in the Pride~
On Lahja's hunting team.
~Relationships~
Ebony gets along quite well with her fellow pride members. She, Lahja and Akane is very good friends. She has some trouble accepting Kriss as she's a "goodie goodie", but who knows, Kriss, on the other end is doing all she can to work it out. Oddly enough she has a soft spot for shy, little Bumble, whoom she usually torture with her most evil pranks. Instead she protects her and defends her when others are picking on her.
~Den~
Dens with Bumble, Lahja and Akane.
~Bio~
Much like Sienna, when Ebony was told she would go to a new pride she made a big scene.
"What? No way, I'm not going to live in some stranger's pride!" she shouted.
"Ebony, you have seen him, talked with him! He was here the other day, he joked with you, you two had some good fun together!" Shyama sighed, "I knew this would happen, Portgas,"
"I don't care, I'm not leaving!"
But Ebony's parents was used to her stubbornness and hot fury, so they did not mention it anymore. That day, anyways. The day after they took a walk with their daughter. Soon they came to the meadow, where a bunch of cubs played around, watched closely by two lionesses.
"This is a beautiful place!" Ebony squealed excitedly, "Can I play with those cubs, mom?"
"Wait a little bit, sweetie," her mother answered, "Excuse me, is King Ken'ichi here?"
"Yes, ma'am," an auburn lioness with a white face answered, "Bean, would you go get him, please?"
A paler lioness stood up and ran into a cave. A few minutes later she came back out, followed by a dark lion.
"King Ken'ichi, Your Majesty?" Portgas said, "We're here with our daughter, Ebony,"
Ebony looked into his friendly face, and recognized him.
"Nooo, mom, dad, you said I didn't have to think about it anymore yesterday!"
"Exactly, honey, yesterday. You'll have to move on, and we believe this is the best place for you,"
"Take me back home now!" Ebony roared.
"No, that won't happen," Her father said.
"Then I'll just walk home alone while you stay here," Ebony snarled.
"Young lady, you will not. You're welcome to visit but you do not belong there anymore, and I won't have you following us after we've gone,"
Ebony cried and raged, bit and swiped, clawed and kicked to no avail.
"Stop it, honey, please! We will miss you and I'll always love you. Goodbye, honey," Her mother cried as they went into the jungle again.
"You know, this reminds me about something," Ken'ichi said, eying Ebony who roared after her parents. Every single pride member had heard the roars and came running out onto the meadow, "Wouldn't you agree, Sienna?"
"Yeah, but my former king was more ruthless," Sienna said. She walked infront of Ebony and grabbed her paws so she couldn't use them against her, and tried to get the adolescent's attention.
"Listen, Ebony. No, come on, I can bite too, you know, no, LISTEN!!!!!" Sienna roared up in Ebony's face. The poor ball of fury gasped for air, looking at Sienna with her eyes full of tears, "Ok, are you calm?"
"What does it matter?" Ebony snarled.
"You'll see. But listen, Ebony, I know it hurts to get thrown out of a pride, so to speak -,"
"How would you know,"
"Because I went through the same thing, you idiot. But when I threw a fit like you just did my former king told me that I had two choises, either I went to Ken'ichi's pride or I'd get killed," Sienna said coldly, while Ebony's eyes got bigger and bigger, "So I would know. I had to leave my former pride in the middle of the night, because I wouldn't give them the satisfaction of seeing me leave or leting them chase me, and I didn't want to get killed. But I'm way better off staying here than with that pack of devils," Sienna said, a satisfied smile around her mouth.
"Look who's talking," Ken'ichi said, grinning.
"Shut up, Ken'ichi, I'm trying to do what you couldn't, I am trying to calm this dang girl down, and make her see reason. Did you have any friends at your former pride?" Sienna asked.
"I guess, I had my parents and my sister," Ebony sobbed.
"Well that's something. I had one at my former pride. One. That's it. Here I have at least five. And I get to do what I want, what I'm great at and what I love. I got to be Head Huntress. Now if I had stayed at my former pride I would not sit here and talk about this with you, I'd be dead. And if you go back you'll be chased away or followed back here again. So you have a choice to make. Go back to your former pride where there are no friends anymore, no food or warmth, or stay here where you have fresh food and water, the possibillity of getting many friends and a job you like. Take your pick,"
It was quiet for a long time after Sienna's fiery speech.
"Sienna, you're way to harsh on her, she just got her world turned upside down!" an albino lion with feline stripes said.
"I know that, Felicity, don't you think I know that? And I'm not too harsh, the girl needed a reality check, and that's what I gave her," Sienna snarled, glaring at Felicity.
"I get it," Ebony said silently, still crying, "I'd like to stay if it's ok, sorry about everything,"
"Yay, you made the right choice! Oh come here, you goofy girl! It's gonna be ok, don't worry!" Sienna said, rubbing Ebony's back with a paw, "You're gonna be so busy being happy and playing with those crazy furballs over there that you won't have any time left to miss anything!"
Ebony finally smiled. It sounded like it was gonna be ok. Sienna allowed her to come with her on a hunt, and then they all had a great meal.
Sienna was right. Ebony soon got many friends and didn't miss her old pride in the least. Sienna and the other huntresses brought home fresh Food, and there was always water in the river.
