*You lie out under the stars, paws in the air. Marulaheart II came by to join you. You both have fun watching the lights and chatting about nothing in particular.
*Grandpaw Scarabstar has pulled Marulaheart II away from their siblings to teach them to be unafraid. Marulaheart II is brave enough to leap onto a locust - and when Grandpaw Scarabstar hollers and hoots about their bravery, the excited smile on Marulaheart II's face is enough to make you smile a little, too.
*Marulaheart II and Grandpaw Scarabstar are playing on the outskirts of your pride's home. Grandpaw Scarabstar is playing the bad guy, and when Marulaheart II manages to get their teeth and claws snagged in Grandpaw Scarabstar's mane, the old lion "dies" very dramatically, flopping onto his grandcub, who squeals in delight and declares that they are the king now.
*Marulaheart II approaches you during a nap and starts kneading your shoulders. Aahhhh. Awesome day.
*Marulaheart II is relaxing near the back of the den, lazily pawing at you in greeting as you pass. She offers you to join her for a while and chill.

The very last surviving daughter of the beautiful lioness, Marulaheart (a wild lioness taken in by Scarabstar, the founder of the Pride), Marulaheart II is the beginning of a long line of legendary Marulaheart's that even the future generations will never forget.
Marulaheart II was born in the final years of Scarabstar's rule, growing up in the terrifying and crude reign of Zebastain, Scarabstar's successor. Her mother warned her of the new king and the little one was pestered with visions of death upon the lands if Zebastain were to remain king, and the nightmares of armageddon only got worse as an adolescent. However, the more she wandered away from her mother and watched the king. . . the more a strange feeling came over her for the older lion.
One beautiful night, the lioness gained the courage to go up to the Dwarf king and request a few moments of stargazing. Surprisingly, Zebastain accepted the invitation. Ever since then, her fate has been sealed as Zebastain's official mate and Queen of the new Scarab Pride, much to the horror of her mother.
While Zebastain may be ruthless and cruel to his Pride, he does show affection towards Marulaheart II, causing resentment among the Pride towards her, with many lionesses disliking her and thinking that she used voodoo to enchant the evil king into loving her.
