Biography:
Daughter of tzเקק๏гคђ, кєl๏ยรค was born during the reign of єикι∂υ, a usurper of the throne and destroyer of the pride's traditions. She was raised by her mother to assist in her duty as the Protected Whim, hoping to enhance the ability of her mother to protect everyone who feared the new dynasty. кєl๏ยรค became the messenger and cub deliverer between her mother and the new king to the south of the valley, known as ק๏รєเ๔๏ภ, the True Sea King. кєl๏ยรค fell in love with the king but kept her feelings to herself for if anyone knew about it, the providence queen would destroy her and the seaside pride.
When she was nearly an adult, кєl๏ยรค tried climbing down the terrifying cliff that led into the seaside pride's territory in an attempt to not only see the rest of the pride but to make it easier on the king. (After all, a regular lioness would be able to slink down easier than a large primal right?) She did well for the first half before losing her footing. She nearly fell to her death when ק๏รєเ๔๏ภ saved her with an easy grasp of her scruff. The primal king brought her down all the way without a word. кєl๏ยรค felt bad of course, giving an apology and her gratitude for saving her life. The primal king only glared at her before bringing her to the pride's camp to have someone make sure she wasn't injured. The entire pride was delighted to meet her and welcomed her with open paws. кєl๏ยรค didn't want to leave but knew she had to, but she was shocked when on the way back to the cliff that ק๏รєเ๔๏ภ offered her a place in the pride.
кєl๏ยรค declined of course, knowing she could not leave her mother and the scared pridemates to the claws of the providence king and queen. It was during the difficult climb back up that ק๏รєเ๔๏ภ steered her to a different path that ran along the cliff, which ended up taking her to a beautiful cave behind a waterfall. кєl๏ยรค beamed at the large cavern, finding it a perfect location for her to meet with him in a better spot for the messages. After all, the open side of the clifftop always made her afraid of someone seeing them despite the fact that no providence member would dare venture to the dangerous south mountaintop of the valley. It came as a surprise to her later on when ק๏รєเ๔๏ภ admitted he loved her. ("Why did you glare at me all the time then?" "Because you put yourself in dangerous situations
all the time." "I do not." "Do we want to start at the number of times I saved your life coming down this cliff? Or maybe we can talk about how you are always nearly caught back home because you cannot leave things alone." She was able to shut him up fairly easily from continuing his lecture about her... misadventures.)
Though she always refused to accept joining his pride, the two didn't mind their relationship. They knew the task of keeping the providence rulers at bay were important and mattered ("just slightly") more than themselves. It was easy for кєl๏ยรค to put her queen at ease when she started getting suspicious. She was expecting cubs and was able to pick a king her rulers accepted without any trouble. The king himself was more than happy to cover for her. She gave birth to two gorgeous cubs, both took after their father, but they pleased кєl๏ยรค's leaders and no one- not even her mother- knew their true heritage. She missed their father terribly but her mother's other messenger had assured her that everything was fine.
In a horrifying surprise, кєl๏ยรค was told by the queen of providence that she was a goddess of creation. Despite her new positions in the pride, she vowed to remain loyal to her mate and to the Leos. кєl๏ยรค couldn't keep to the shadows of the dynasty, as the queen told her she was instrumental to the king. The lioness became the favorite of the dynasty, but she destroyed that position after an interrogation revealed that her cubs were from the king of Atlantis. In a twist of fate, her king and queen did not decide to kill her for her disloyalty, as she was important to their plans. Instead, they kept her as a goddess prisoner, complete with chains, a blindfold, and a guard. Despite all of this, she never broke her promise. When the king and queen were overthrown by Ellil and her cubs, the Leos thanked her for her unbroken oath and blessed her eyes with a golden glow.
кєl๏ยรค debated for many moons about leaving her pride now that her mother is dead and her son, Neptune, left to join his father's pride. It was thanks to a wanderer named Savvy that she realized that she could be both the queen to Atlantis without being disloyal to her own pride and gods. кєl๏ยรค now divides her time between the two, finding herself more inclined to stay with her son to help him become king once his father dies.
