Lyra

Former Queen of the Pride, Lyra is a lioness of quiet strength and fierce loyalty. Known for her beauty and grace, she ruled alongside Seraphim for many seasons, helping him expand and protect their vast territory. Born to a distant pride that fell to ruin, Lyra grew up in hardship, which shaped her into the resilient and tactical lioness she is today. Her survival instincts and sharp mind earned her the title of Queen, not just by virtue of her mate, but through her ability to outwit rivals and lead her pride through droughts, battles, and challenges.

Though she no longer holds the title of Queen in an official capacity, Lyra remains the backbone of the pride, her wisdom sought by the young and old alike. She is protective of her family, especially her daughter Kewari, whom she trains to one day take her place as Seraphim’s legacy grows uncertain. Behind her calm demeanor, Lyra harbors a fierce warrior spirit, willing to defend her pride until her final breath.

Lyra is also known for her complex relationship with Seraphim’s brother, Matirhhim. Though they never saw eye to eye, Lyra was once courted by him in her youth, a bond shattered by his growing cruelty. She now views him as a dangerous threat to her family, always watching for signs of his encroaching power.
