She is the only cub from Mara's final litter.
:Late Autumn (Eleven Months):
As a generous token of his love for the other members of the pridelands, The Sentinel's Sun set his beautiful daughter to a raffle. He expected her to be well cared for and loved. Instead, the nurturing cub was beaten until she had total amnesia, stripped of her identity and tied to a post where she was left to die. Upon returning from his patrol route, Crown of Fire discovered her in the trading fields. When she told his king of this, The Sentinel's Sun sent Crown of Honor to the trading fields with the proper amount of silver beetles to rescue her.
The Sentinel resolved that day to never raffle off another of his cubs again. Those who he sent to the trading field would go to proper homes. Any other cubs he did not want, he would ensure went to the humans' reserve. Though they would be treated as pets and never be truly wild lions, at least they would survive.
To help her recall her time in the Storm Pride, the lionesses set to work right away training her.
After some consideration, The Sentinel's Sun named her Redemption.

Redemption [1.9 30%] asks if you have invented any new, adorable cub names yet.
:Two Years:
With not enough room in the Pride of Light to support all the lionesses, Redemption ran away into the wilds. She went with five of the younglings from the Pride of Light. They thought to survive on their own, form a pride without a king. Though later the young Prince Three Marks joined them as did others from the Pride of Light, including Miss Blue Coat, by then all six of them were starving and most beyond salvation.
For seven harrowing months they were adrift, with no place to call home. Miss Name [Four] finally succumbed to starvation. Others disappeared, eventually only Redemption and one other remained. When Whoa went out into the wilds with supplies enough for one lioness to last the trip home, Redemption shifted and moved forward, eager to rejoin her pride.
The pale lion put a paw up. "No, you are not to come. Her, she is marked as 'first...'" And he gestured with a sweeping leg toward Miss Name [Eight].
"Yes, of course you are right. She is more ill than I." Redemption replied. She urged the ailing lioness on to her feet and forward. "They'll take care of you. You see, Whoa is here to take you home. Your shaman will make you better."
Redemption watched as the two made their way back toward the Pride of Light. With twilight falling and no one else in site, she realized that she might well die in the wilds. She fell asleep, and when she awoke, she looked once more into the eyes of her savior - Crown of Honor. He had come with food for her, bearing tidings. "The Sentinel's Sun heard that you were forced out of King Frosted Barrage's territory. I have come to bring you home. This will never happen again."
Though memories of her long-ago events in the trading field occurred to her, Redemption was far too grateful to care at the moment. She bumped Crown of Honor's head in a show of gratitude, and then with relish ate the precious beetles that they might sustain her to go home....
