Zirali

Zirali is a ball of energy, and wants to be friends with everyone! Her favorite thing to do is cuddle up with her pride sisters for a good gossip sesh, or find a pretty feather to play with.

Sometimes Zirali seems like a bit of an airhead, but she’s really just an eternal optimist. If the world doesn’t live up to her expectations, maybe she can help it along by being kind!

(Yes, she’s named after Zira, the main antagonist from TLK 2: Simba’s Pride. Between her white dorsal stripe and cuddly personality, I decided to make her a kind of anti-Zira. She’s 100% nice, with no murderous ambitions, and she will NOT raise her cubs to be soldiers. If she has babies, those kids will be spoiled rotten!)

Note: Zirali wasn’t ready to be a mother when her first heat came. She might never be, she’s very content being a carefree huntress.

Follow-up: By the time her second heat rolled around she’d been struck by baby fever and enthusiastically sought out Brond. Her girls were raised with love, and sent to an allied pride as adults.
