Sandy and Cloudy are the oldest daughters of Anza and Silky. Since the day they were born, they were loved by the whole pride. Everyone was more than ready to spoil the little princesses... Even though all the others cubs always wanted to play with them Cloudy and Sandy preferred their own company.
It changed when Anza brought Winter to the pride...
Winter quickly befriended Cloudy. They became best friends and were playing together all the time which made Sandy jealous. This led to a small argument between Sandy and Winter. It wasn't anything big, just two cubs calling each other childish insults, but it started a rivarly between them.
They competed with each other on everything! One of these little competitions was about crossing a road full of cars... All the adults were busy at the time, so no one noticed that the cubs were gone.
As expected, the competition didn't end well. Nothing happened to Winter, but Sandy got hit by a car.
When she woke up in Peach's den a few days later the first lion she saw was Winter. Did she only imagine the worried spark in her rival's eye? Yeah, probably...
Their rivarly started all over again when Sandy got better, but this time they were more careful when coming up with new challenges.

When Cloudy was old enough, she decided to leave the pride and search for a lion that could be the father of her cubs. Sandy wasn't really thinking about starting a family like her sister, but she decided to do the same thing. It's always an adventure, and having cubs didn't really sound like a bad idea.
They went in two different directions, Winter came with Sandy, and Silver with Cloudy. Anza was the one who chose Winter to be Sandy's companion. He believed that sensible and calm Winter will ensure safety of his impulsive and spontaneous daughter.
Sandy was a little afraid that Winter's presence will make the journey worse. She would probably just annoy her all the time and start pointless fights.
But to Sandy's surprise, Winter wasn't in the mood for arguing... She looked stressed, and maybe even... Sad? Sandy tried to cheer her up, but she failed. Winter still was awfully grumpy.
After a few days of wandering, the lionesses found the pride of king Solaris.
At first the king looked like a normal lion, maybe a little purple, but still a lion. However when Sandy came closer she realised that Solaris wasn't a lion - He was a hellhound. Sandy was curious how his cubs would look like... I mean, he had a pride full of lionesses, and some of them had cubs, so he had to be able to breed with lions, right?
Winter tried to stop her. They had no idea how hellhounds work, maybe she won't survive giving birth to half-blood cubs? What if they'll be deformed? It was too dangerous, too risky... Buuut Sandy wasn't listening.
She spent a few days with king Solaris, and when she was sure that she's pregnant, she and Winter came back to Anza's pride.
During Sandy's pregnancy Winter looked worried all the time... She checked if her rival was alright at least ten times a day! During one of her visits, Sandy decided to finally ask her what is going on with her?! "I don't know, I just care about you, you stupid fur-brain!" Winter yelled in response. She seemed to be as surprised as Sandy when the words left her mouth. After that, they talked for hours. About their feelings, their relationship, all their stupid competitions... And they ended up realising that they both felt something different lately. Something warm and fuzzy... And they felt it everytime they saw each other. Sandy thought that it's just hatred and anger, in a weird, fluffy form. But Winter knew that it's something else.
They weren't sure how to act... They decided to maybe, just for a while, try to be mates..? Like Iris and Anza, or Clover and Snake. Usually, the pair consisted of two lions of opposite sexes, but they already had Cherrystripe
in the pride, who openly said that she was interested in lionesses, not male lions.
When they announced their decision to the pride, everyone was happy for them! Cloudy seemed unsure of their relationship, but congratulated them anyway.
When Sandy finally gave birth to her little furball of a cub, she was exhausted... Winter was right, giving birth to hellhound's cub was much harder than a regular one. Sandy spent a few days in the Medicine Den, and when she finally got better, she decided to name her daughter Blizzard. Of course she refused to admit that she named the cub after Winter...
Sandy and Winter raised Blizzard together, and they managed to protect her from the still unknown cause of cubs' deaths.

Sandy lived through Hawk's reign as a border guard. During the uprising against the king, Sandy sided with Heather, but due to her advanced age, she did not take a direct part in the overthrow of Hawk.
When Oleander became the new king she finally decided to retire.
