Cleopatra

Cleopatra, a striking grey leopard-like lioness, bore the weight of her mother’s tarnished name as she navigated the complexities of pride life. Stracciatella was once revered for her cunning and grace, but after an incident left a scar on their family’s reputation, everything changed. One fateful evening during a heated argument among the distant factions of their pride, Stracciatella attempted to reveal that another lioness had set fire to their territory out of jealousy—a blaze that posed a severe threat to cubs and elders alike. But gossip is often more potent than truth; whispers turned into roars against Stracciatella when Cleopatra seized that instant under pressure. Eager for acceptance and desperate to prove her own worth vastly overshadowed by lingering shadows cast by her mother's ordeal, Cleopatra vocalized doubt over Stracciatella's words instead, unwillingly betraying at the moment who should have been standing beside them both.

Stracciatella lost not only credibility but also friendship in those moments—her allies turning against her as they rallied behind Cleopatra's cautious retelling cloaked in self-preservation. The fires extinguished swiftly enough outside; yet internally within the heart of mother and daughter alike—and through countless looks exchanged between them—the flames lingered far too long unresolved never truly gone from memory nor filled completely with reconciliation or understanding.
