Backstory:
[ One fateful day Ekolu would hear the painful groans of his mistress as she had gone into labour. Blonie, after several hours of painful labor, gave birth to a beautiful, healthy, and elegant baby girl, known by Ammit. Amongst her several other siblings, she stood out with the red which made her paws look blood-soaked. Luckily for Ammit, her parents were the rulers of the border between Aaru and the Duat, the places where lost souls went to rest. Her parents mostly strayed with the Duat, given their past actions.
[ As Ammit grew, she was proven to be of kind nature. She refused to spar with her siblings and would always back down from fights. The royalty picked up on this and were disappointed in her. Her parents wanted her to be the next queen, and take Ekolu's place when he passed, but the qualities she was showing were not that of a Queen, especially for one who roamed the edges of the Duat.
[ Ammit's father tried to force her into her first hunt, nudging her with his snout, and pushing her towards the target, a small black rabbit. Ammit slowly snuck up on the rabbit, all of her senses were screaming at her, telling her not to harm the innocent creature. The rabbit spotted Ammit in the black grass that was meant to hide her and froze in fear. Ammit pounced, trapping the rabbit between her paws. The rabbit squeaked in terror, it writhed and tried to escape from her paws. Ammit, seeing the distress in the creature's eyes, let the rabbit go. The rabbit quickly darted away, escaping her view quickly. Ekolu growled in anger, scolding Ammit, who was frozen in fear
[ Once Ammit was an adult, she still refused to hunt. Nobody in the pride would associate her, not her siblings, not even her own parents. Her father would still try to force her to hunt, bringing her the perfect prey, and screaming at her, but to no avail. Ekolu had grown so angry that he swiped at Ammit, barely missing her face. In his anger, he called Ammit a "Waste of life" and "A useless daughter". Something snapped in Ammit, rage flashed over her eyes. Ekolu saw the changes in her mannerisms and prepared to fight her. Ammit snarled, and unsheathing her claws, lunged at her father. Her claws latched onto his face, she was going to get revenge for all the years of neglect.
[ Their battle was tense, adrenaline helped Ammit keep going. She would kick her father off when he had her pinned. Ammit tackled him, her claws ripping open the skin over his stomach. Without thinking, Ammit pulled her claws back, ripping the flesh. A gory scene, one that the entire pride witnessed. As she watched Eklou bleed to death, guilt began to seep through her mind. She stepped back, her ears flattening against her head. She turned to see the entire pride, standing there, watching her. The pride turned on her, running after her. She fled from her homeland, they would never see her again.
