December's Child found her under the Giving Tree, and felt sorry for her. Though she pursued The Sentinel to take her into the pride, she lives on the edges, a bit of an outcast from the others. Her place in the pride is always threatened by new arrivals....

Ice Cover stumbled into the center of the pridelands, her coat covered in dirt and castoffs. She shivered and rushed to the nearest lioness. "I was lost." She gasped.
The Outcast drew her closer. "We will take care of you, little one."
When Ice Covered recovered enough to talk, she told The Outcast how she had followed a group of cubs and adolescents being let by a large brown male lion with tattoos and face markings. "He had a crow and another bird with him. I think he was a shaman."
The Outcast lifted her chin. "Oh yes, he is Crown of Honor. One of our shamans." Though she did not like the king, Crown of Honor was always nice to her. She had no idea why she lived out with these others on the edges of the lands. This was the way it was. That did not mean she was cold hearted. For here was a cub that needed help.
For her part, as The Outcast spoke, Ice Cover leaned against her and waited. It was good to be among lions again, so for now she was content.
"You shall stay here." The Outcast pulled the cub closer to her. "You can live with us and we will teach you to hunt. If you remember, in time how to get to your former pride, you may go of course..."
Ice Cover accepted this generous gesture. It could have been much worse. She had heard stories of lions who killed strangers in their lands.
