Xeleris the rebellious, trouble maker of the Placid Pond Pride
Under the rule of King Mercutial


Rebellious, aggressive and always ready to start a fight, some consider it a miracle that Mercutial allows her to stay in the pride. Most of the lionesses hate her being in their hunting party, since she challenges the hunting leader, squabbles with the others and always breaks the plan to try and get a kill all by herself. She bullies Dathryn, and is constantly trying to fight with Mercutial. Some of the other lionesses have started a rumour that she's only allowed to stay because she's pretty, but Mercutial always says that there's more to her than they know.


Xeleris left her last pride due to their judgement of her piebald mutation. She won't say much more than that, other than she slapped every lioness on the way out. No one is sure whether or not to believe her, as she would have been an adolescent when she left. Being the most aggressive lioness in the pride though, some of them do feel inclined to believe her.


Intro under Mercutial
You suddenly find yourself being shoved aside as a rather strangely coloured lioness enters the cave. Her fur seems to be a strange mix of yellow, purple and blue, with large splotches of unnaturally white fur. She sneers at you, shaking her head. "Free loaders." With a huff, she tosses her head, walking further into the cave. You try to explain that you're a guest of the king, and all you wanted was something to drink. The lioness turns to stare at you, but more so through you before she turns her head. "Merc!" She calls out, before charging off towards the king, who holds a paw up to catch the incoming swipe. You can barely believe a lioness would charge her king like that, and sit down to take in the show for a bit.

"Yeah, warthogs. I can take those suckers down on my own, but they put up a good fight! And they're pretty filling, and pretty good... and I can eat a whole one myself."

Special Notes: This was my first piebald! I bought her, and changed her base.
