Aquila

𝒜𝓆𝓊𝒾𝓁𝒶
So much for stardust; we thought we had it all.
Aquila is a troublemaker if you ever saw one; confident, articulate and suave, she has a quip for every situation. She is a master of wits, and excellent in a verbal battle. Among the younger lionesses, she's exceptionally popular, and knows how to make a crowd laugh.

She doesn't always use this ability for good, though. Not everyone in the Metropolis is Lady Haiku's biggest fan. When the young queen parades through her territory, Aquila can be found on the edge of the crowd, her eyes glittering with distrust. Although Aquila is only a young huntress, she is one of the Metropolis' best hunters, and she knows how a hunting party should and shouldn't work. Haiku's disorganised leadership style has meant the lionesses largely have to organise themselves, and Aquila worries what will happen if Haiku ever has to rule without her sisters' aid.

Every time Haiku makes a small mistake - a diplomatic slip-up, a prey loss, a fruitless territory expansion - Aquila can be found in the Metropolis, loudly voicing her concerns. Some wonder if one day she will challenge Haiku for her throne, and what implications that would bring. Most of her pridemates see her as a loudmouth and a troublemaker for this - but some, like Chiaroscuro, have privately begun pricking their ears to her words.
