Daughter of a queen from the Kingdom of the Sun, Hua-Ling (meaning "magnificent dawn"). Her name, Eliara, means "daughter of the sun." Her father was the king of the Kingdom of the Moon, Badar (meaning "full moon").
Hua-Ling and Badar's choice of mate in each other was highly frowned upon at first, however, after proving themselves to their mate's kingdom, both had earned the respect of each other's kingdom, and those outside of their kingdoms. The kingdoms merged, and after the king and queen had passed, Eliara became ruler.
Hua-Ling was a kind, fair ruler, with her compassion and idealism being her strongest and most prominent point. Badar was a courageous, brash, somewhat harsh, yet dedicated and skilled (and sometimes a bit conceited) lion. Though they sometimes clashed, they were a fearsome duo and ruled their kingdom with an iron fist, while maintaining a good relationship with their people.
Eliara was understandably nervous about the responsibility of ruling the Kingdom of Suns and Moons, and worried she could not live up to their legacy. However, her reign was equally as splendid, if not more, successful, peaceful, and meaningful and her parents'.
Eliara showed foresight and fortitude, ruling her people even in times of personal hardship. She is said to have prophetic dreams, and that those dreams are the cause of her ability to make good decisions for the future. Her kindness, compassion, idealism, dedication, and courageous personality make her both a good ruler and lion.
Her husband, Jericho's (from the Hebrew word, "yareach," meaning moon) father was from the Sun Kingdom (Ra, who was named after the god of the sun in Ancient Egypt) and his mother was from the Moon Kingdom (Selene, one of the Greek goddesses of the moon). Both Eliara and Jericho's parents from both kingdoms, their marriage is balanced and happy, and they can represent both kingdoms without any bias. They both went down as two of the greatest, if not the greatest, leaders of the kingdoms in history.
At her death and until her funeral, the sky was cloudy and gloomy, and every lion, even her enemies mourned. Her kingdom held a funeral for her, and she was buried and laid to rest. After she was laid to rest, it was said to have rained sheets, as if the sky was mourning her loss. It rained for three days and three nights, and at the dawn of the fourth day, the sun came up again.
The kingdoms' heavy loss is felt in the kingdoms each day, yet their presence still lingers on. The two rulers' presence continues to watch over the kingdoms from the stars, watching over their kingdom together.
