Flårê

(Every story is tied together but they're all very much different)
Flare, runaway Princess from a other pride.
Flare was an adolescent when she ran off, aging up into a beautiful lioness as she searched for a new life, surviving on her own wit and hunting skill.
At about the age of 3, Flare met Ember. He was charming enough, and sweet, she didn't know much other than he was a runnaway too.
The two began their own pride together, her becoming a huntress and him keeping them safe at night. As they grew more fond of one another, they had a single daughter, though Flare was convinced after the fourth try she would never get pregnant, Magma was born. As the first born, Flare, now a brood mother to keep her cub safe, taught Magma to hunt and protect herself, turning her daughter into a strong independent lioness.
One day as the little pride of three were out adventuring, they saw two little male cubs crying for their mother under a big shade tree. Of course out of motherly instinct, Flare rushed to their sides and comforted them, telling Ember they were coming with them whether he liked it or not. Thus now gaining two adoptive sons and a daughter, their pride seemed complete. The three cubs played and adored one another, the first male was named Onyx, for his slate blue coloring, the other Prism, because he reminded Flare of the colors glass would create when reflected into.
As the time went on, Flare began wishing she had more of a sister. Someone to help with not only the hunting to feed her family but also keep watch on her children, with this, a lioness found her way to their family, introducing herself as Sunset. Giving Flare two nieces and help feeding all of her family.
As time went on, the pride grew more and more, new cubs in and out, new adolescents in and out, and even Ember growing. Of course Flare was happy to see her family grow, even having a second daughter as the time went on, but for some reason, her life felt as if it were missing something... But what? She had it all. A loving king.. a family.. children.. what else could be missing? Purpose.
When their pride first began she was a huntress.. as she became the oldest lioness and first mother, she took responsibility to watch over all the cubs. Of course she loved the babies.. but she missed feeling more important to the entire pride instead of just the little ones.
