Her name means "The first" in Japanese.
The little pons gathered around the small carcass;
Their small bodies shivering under the cold of the night.
A meager rat was what they had to eat.
“Come on Saisho, take a bite!” The smallest pon cried out her sickly figure barely alive, nudging the remains over to her. Saisho shook her dusted brown coat and pushed it back. Her stomach protested her choice, but she was adminant.
“I don’t need it Ponyo. I ate yesterday; the rest of the carcass belongs to you.” The younger pon looked up eagerly at Saisho, grateful for the extra food. Saisho knew that winter would come soon; and when it would; the nights would kill them both if she didn’t find a place for them to stay.
Morning
“Come on Ponyo, wake up! Time to find a pride.” The pon didn’t stir.
“Ponyo?”
Her heart raced, she pushed the limp figure. Her heart dropped as she turned the cub over. She shivered; although it wasn’t from the cold.
The little cub lay there silent; almost sleeping if her face had not betrayed her state. Ponyo’s eyes glazed open, yet unseeing, already milking from the effects of death. No breath came from her nose and mouth.
This was no longer Ponyo. It was just a carcass; not unlike the rat they had eaten before. The silent heaves of Saisho’s cries were muted by the swirling wind as she mourned her cub mate.
She did not move.
She did not see.
She did not hear.
All she knew was that her longest friend was gone.
And she was alone again.

Saisho is constructed stockily, with a widespread front and muscular legs. She is an earth-eyed lion who possesses a skin tone of soft, sunset orange hues, with undertones of light wheat intensity. There are touches of silky white scattered through her coat, like water flowing through a river. Her forepaws are marginally lighter than her hindlimbs. There is a large scar expanding from her left hock to her left stifle. Saisho has a tail which is longer than usual, and she can often be found curled with her tail wrapped completely around her. Her fur is cleaned and tidy, but somewhat curly down her back, giving her a slightly disheveled appearance. Her nose is a cloudy gray, in stark contrast with her pale, dainty mouth. Saisho has vast paws, and short, stout legs, giving her the appearance of a young cub.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
You walk past your pride, heading to your den to sink into the calm realm of sleep. You place one paw in front of the other, your eyelids drooping. You settle into your bed, and fall asleep instantaneously. Quickly after falling into the dreamworld, you see a small cub, situated on a field of grass, staring to the horizon. The presence is non-threatening. Instead, you feel a wave of relief, as if you’ve been waiting for this moment. You step forward, your footfall feeling lighter than air.
You sit next to the cub, noticing a faint white aura around them. “Who are you?” You ask softly, tentatively. They glance at you, and you can see the pair of glowing orbs. “I am Saisho, messenger of dawn.” They say. You blink your eyes slowly, taking this in. You look down at the cub sitting at your side, strands of wheat swaying in the warm wind. At your lack of response, the cub locks eyes with you, meeting your gaze. “I bring life. I bring the light. I bring the morning. I bring the sunrise. I am the lion of rebirth.” Saisho whispers softly.
The dream fades out, the last thing you see before descend into darkness is the honey colored pelt of the cub. You open your eyes, and the sun is beginning to rise. You blink gently to allow your eyes to adjust, and you sit up slowly, stretching your back. You sit upright, facing the east. The sky is colored with various hues of soft oranges and yellows. As it had been in your dream, you glance to your side, and see the peculiar lion sitting by you. Just as the sun rises, a fresh start begins. You have a choice. Will you make the best of it?
Saisho is a soft spoken lion, but she always knows what to say when a pride member is in distress. She will sit and listen to all of your problems, should you have them. She always knows what to say, as she possesses a deeper understanding of life. Saisho is one of the most balanced lions you’ll ever meet. She values loyalty and order. While Saisho appreciates the meaningful things, she can still be lighthearted. She has a good sense of humor, and is not disliked by anyone.
While she is typically very optimistic, she can sometimes seem aimless or as if she daydreams. Usually, she is thinking about something beyond a conversation you wish to have with her. She can also be impish at times, wanting to play at the most inconvenient of times and places.
