Haidee

“Hello!” you nearly leap out of your fur upon hearing that voice, and you whip around. nothing could be seen even at distance, which confused the hell out of you. until - “Hello! Hi!” you whip around again, only to find yourself looking down at a dwarf lioness, a sparkle in her eye and her paws thumping eagerly on the ground. “Atreus told me you were coming! You must be the visitor. Want to sit and talk for a bit?” unable to deny such a kind request, you agree.

Haidee came to the pride in the middle of her life, the middle-aged lioness having been looking for a new pride to settle down in. She came with her friend, Lexine, and the they are like two peas in a pod. Haidee is one of the friendliest lionesses within the pride, and she’ll be the first to greet the newcomers.

Haidee’s size was a bit of an issue with her when she was younger. She found that she could not do everything that a normal sized lioness could. It took a lot of energy and personality from her, and her mother, who had the same mutation as she, was devastated. After many discussions and days of convincing, Haidee agreed to work on her self-image. She soon grew to not be ashamed of who she was.

You notice another pride mate was feeling down. Before you could think of what to say, Haidee came in to comfort them with a pretty little flower gift. You wish you were that thoughtful.

After a morning cuddle, Haidee gives you a good luck snack, a dead mouse. Awww, how kind of her.

You saw Haidee leap up to grab a bird yesterday - cool! You ask her how she did it, and she is quite happy to show you and help you practice!
