Snow Upon Log playfully chases her own tail before greeting you heartily.

When Tragedy Struck
Samese sat, leaning into her half-sister Spick. They had both shared this father, and were thus both saddened to hear that he passed away in the night. This was Mafori, the creator of the pride and their father, who they would miss dearly. She sniffled and picked herself up again. This 'Cloudburst' that he had chosen to be king... would he be as good as Mafori? Better? Likely not. I mean, sure, he was attractive, but... ah well. Nothing to do about it now.
The Change
Cloudburst entered the den where Samese and Spick were laying, grooming each other. He had a contemplative, thoughtful expression, before saying to Samese "You shall now be known as Snow Upon Log." She started to object, saying. "Wait, I don't want t-" He shook his head, letting out a little "tsk..." sound, before looking at Spick. Her eyes were bright and she sat up, showing off her coat for the king eagerly. Why is she doing this?! He can't just... CHANGE what names Mafori, our FATHER, gave us! "I will NOT be cha-" She began, Cloudburst interrupting her. "You will be known as Flaming Spirit." He said, before turning to leave, his tail running under her half-sister's chin. And... that was that. No one would refer to them by their old names. They were now Snow Upon Log and Flaming Spirit. This happened all over the pride, of course - if their names were unsatisfactory for Cloudburst, he changed them.
I'll Follow My Daydreams
Cloudburst died, getting killed in a duel by The Stars Shine Brightly. Many mourned, but not Snow Upon Log. He had been horrible, in her opinion. She smiled to the lion, and he grinned back. "Finally... he's dead. I guess that makes me the new King- wait, uhm... do.. will... you.. be the new King, Ripped Daisy in Wind?" He asked hesitantly. Snow Upon Log had never gotten used to his new name, it was so... uncatchy. She supposed that was the point, however - for Cloudburst to punish the older lion for... well... nothing. "No, no, of course not. I'd do horribly anyway, and you deserve it." He smiled down at the younger male. "Oh... great!" The Stars Shine Brightly purred, before turning to discuss items in the hoard to decorate his pelt, as it currently only had a couple of markings. They nodded, beginning to get out the applicators. "I'll rename myself... Blissful Daydreams. Yes, I do think that fits..." He murmured, glancing back at Snow Upon Log. "What was your old name...?" He asked, curious. "...Samese. My sister was Spick..." She murmured. "Ah. It's beautiful. Would you like to go back to it?" The male offered. "No, no thank you. This is fine." She said, declining, then glancing at her sister. "Will she be a problem?" She asked - Flaming Spirit had always been favored by Cloudburst, and Cloudburst favored by her. "..Hopefully not. Should she, however, can I count on your help?" He asked, looking down at Snow Upon Log. She paused, before leaning into him with a purr. "Of course. She's only my half-sister, anyway. You're the king, I'll follow you anywhere." He smiled, glancing down at her before looking back up to watch the camp.
