As you lay by the pond one evening, you can't help but feel as though you are being watched. When you look around, you notice a couple of playful African painted dog pups, stalking you from the bushes. Keeping a weary eye out for their parents, you get up and playfully chase after them. The pups run around behind you, but when you turn, you can't see them anywhere. It was a bit strange, but you feel energized and youthful.
Here lies Cheerul. A whisper of the past.

Cheerul, the warm, try hard of the Placid Pond Pride
Under the rule of King Mercutial
  
Your typical A type personality, Cheerul is warm, but always active. She's a powerful and aggressive hunter, highly protective of the pride and pridelands, and a competitive baoball player. She's constantly working on improving herself, but the pride and enthusiasm she shows can come off as boasting. She's a work hard, play hard type of gal.
Cheerul grew up in the desert, in a small pride that struggled to survive. As a young adult, she attempted to convince the pride leader to move to more forgiving lands, and failed to sway him. A difficult decision, she decided to leave her home, and family behind in search of an easier, better life. She found such a life in the Placid Pond Pride. Mercutial extended an invitation to any lionesses that wanted to leave as well, which caused the king to resent him, and banish Cheerul from returning there. It hurt the lioness at first, but she has come a long way, and in no way regrets her decisions or Merc's invitation.
Intro under Mercutial
As you make the rounds in the cave, meeting everyone you can, a lioness suddenly approaches you. Her fur is tinged red, with light undersides, and piercing blue eyes. She stands tall and proud, giving you a warm smile. "Welcome." She greets you, with a slight nod of her head. "You're not causing any problems, are you?" You expected some questioning from the sub males, but from the lionesses? You try to reassure her that you're just here peacefully visiting. "Alright. I'm keeping an eye on you." The lioness declares, before she heads back out towards the cave opening. Suddenly she stops, her tail flicking and she looks over her shoulder at you. "Do you want to come out and play a game of baoball?" You find the change of tone so odd that you agree, and enjoy a game with some of the lionesses. A strong player, the lioness doesn't take it easy on you, but she doesn't seem to hold any ill will towards you either.

Getting to know Cheerul
What is your favourite food?
"Giraffe! I can take down a giraffe, my hunting party does it all the time. It's quite an accomplishment, and if you're not too rough about it, sometimes you can keep the skin!"
What is your favourite item for amusement?
"I prefer playing baoball than with toys... but I suppose there is a sense of power and accomplishment when pushing around an elephant skull. It's good for building muscle too!"
What's your favourite season?
"The dry season. I know that's strange, but it reminds me of my cub hood..."
What's your favourite time of day?
"The day time. That's when everything is going on, you know? Hunting, playing, socializing. The night is too quiet and boring around here."
Which biome do you enjoy the most?
"The desert. There's just something about the feeling of sand shifting below your paws, and the sun at your back to really make you feel alive."
Which lion are you closest to?
"Merctuial, of course. What kind of a lioness do you take me for?"
Which lioness are you closest to?
"Strangely enough, it has to be Brae. She doesn't exactly share in my interests, but she's a great listener, and I think we compliment each other well. I don't know exactly, it just works."
What are your hobbies?
"Oh, the regular. Baoball, hunting, and sometimes I go off exploring! Mostly on expeditions to gather supplies for the pride, but it's still an adventure every time."

Special Notes: I think this might have been a tree cub, but I don't exactly remember. She has an Unholy base, and I just think she looks awesome.
