Crown of Fire's cub name came from her mother's name (Treasure of the Four Crowns) and her gorgeous fiery markings. Oneisha told of their legacy being their mother's greatest. For she bore four cubs and as her name was the Treasure of the Four Crowns this was an auspice birth. The king agreed. He named his cubs accordingly and wished them the Lady's safety while they dwelled in his lands.
So the cubs grew in the Storm Pride. They were a close litter and did everything together.
:Early Autumn:
Not long after her siblings and she were weaned, the Sentinel's Sun contracted rabies. He attempted to kill the foursome; however the litter joined together and fought him off. They didn't understand what was happening but were old enough to know to fight. It was only through their combined efforts that the four made it out alive. [Scar: Shoulder]

:One Year, Nine Months:
Crown of Fire helped the Sentinel protect the remains of a lion that humans meant to desecrate. They found Sangoma Tefnut there. She, the protector of the spirits and the living alike came for Crown of Fire to apprentice her.
:One Year, Ten Months:
Sangoma Tefnut gave her two quests. She was to visit an Animal Graveyard and protect a lone lion's skull from gathering hyenas. The spirit of the Great Elephant Killer will be grateful.
"I need to prepare Ubulawu mixture for a spirit trance. Please gather 5 Marula Fruit and 5 Uvuma-Omhlope. The Spirits will reward you for your help."
:One Year, Eleven Months:
Sangoma Tefnut sent her on another question, "Bring me 10 rawhides for my ritual. You can obtain them by using your carcass as a rawhide source."
Crown of Fire went to her sisters and together they gathered the carcasses and turned them into rawhides. She gave these to Sangoma Tefnut.
"Thank you, Crown of Fire. Your piety for the ancestors has risen by 3. The ancestors will grant you boons for this piety."
:Two Years, Three Months:
"Bring me a heart of fire to light the spirits' path. Take this stick, soaked in the special oil, and dip it into a fire. It will start smoking. Bring it back to me. Be brave, as spirits will protect you from burning."
Crown of Fire took the stick in her mouth carefully and went off into the wilderness in search of fire. She was unafraid, for she knew Sangoma spoke the truth. The fire would not hurt her. Her ancestors would keep her safe from its burning claws.
You dive in, setting the stick on fire. You feel flames licking your body but you come out graceful, as if the ancestors were protecting you.
She returned with the blazing stick. Tefnut said: "Thank you, Crown of Fire. Your piety for the ancestors has risen by 2. Your ancestors will reward you for your participation. Now go, please find 5 Imphepho stems. I need them to help a dying lioness. The Ancestors insist she cannot die yet."
:Two Years, Four Months:
Another quest Sangoma had for her, "Gather 4 Dream Roots for a trance ritual. Ancestors are whispering. I need to listen."
When she returned with the dream root, the shamaness nodded. "Thank you, Crown of Fire. Your piety for the ancestors has risen by 2. The ancestors will bless you for your quests. Now go, I need to prepare Ubulawu mixture for a spirit trance. Please gather 5 Marula Fruit and 5 Uvuma-Omhlope. The Spirits will reward you for your help."
A second time Crown of Fire returned with the herbs.
Again Sangoma replied: "Thank you, Crown of Fire. Your piety for the ancestors has risen by 3. The ancestors will bless you for your assistance."
:Mid Autumn (Two Years, Five Months):
-First Heat / Initiation-
The three sisters came into First Heat together. They were sequestered from the rest of the Storm Pride, sent out to the edges of the territory and the wilds to fast and learn. Their brother, now restored to them, went with them. The four siblings saw no one save their masters. Oneisha brought them water.
Please find 5 Imphepho stems. I need them to help a dying lioness. The Ancestors insist she cannot die yet.
