Attalya, titled "The Loving" due to her kind nature and love for those she considers her friends.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As one of the very first pride members, joining under Incubus' first vessel, Attalya is one of the most respected lionesses in the pride. She had always been a great friend to the first queen, Deliah, a powerful fighter and hunter. Taking joy in being a cubsitter, she often helped out the mothers to watch their cubs and let them relax for a while.
She joined the pride due to unknown reasons. Maybe it was due to her loving behavior or her hunting skills that might have posed a threat to her earlier queen, but Attalya settled in easily and didn't want to talk about her past.
After the death of the first king, Incubus' vessel, she was already one of the older lionesses. Thinking her new king wouldn't appreciate her kind nature, she planned to leave the pride but was quickly stopped. "Where are you going, my dear?", Incubus appeared in front of her out of nowhere. Quiet literally. "M-My apologies, your highness. I-", she was interrupted by a kind smile, given to her by her usually intimidating king. She hesitated for a moment, before explaining her actions to him. "I see. You needn't worry, my dear. I'm glad to have such a kind soul in my pride.", he said before rubbing his head against her cheek, then whispered. "Such a pretty one at that.". Attalya knew he wouldn't let her leave and she knew she had no reason to do so. Incubus assured her that she could stay in his pride. He spend a long time with her, explaining his intentions and reasons. And Attalya gladly listened.
She followed her king back to the pride and spent the rest of her life leading hunts, defending her comrades and protecting his cubs.
