Softness of Desert Sands

Affectionately known as Softie, this sweet little lioness isn't one of Choso's cubs. Instead, she was sired by the leader of a different pride, Okeanus.

From a very young age, she's had an affinity for birds. A sweet little Hoopoe Starling followed her mother back from a hunting trip, and immediately latched onto her. This bird will do pretty much anything for Softie, and the lioness is sure to protect it from any predators that may try to harm it.

Calm Seas at Dusk learned this the hard way, because after she tried to take a bite of the little bird, she found herself with a nasty little scar on her face. Who knew cubs had such sharp claws, huh?

Other than that little incident, she's one of the sweetest lionesses you'll ever meet! Unless, of course, you try to eat one of her beloved birds. In that case, you'll quickly realize that the "Softness" aspect of her name definitely doesn't apply to her claws and teeth.

When her sister, Red Sky Above Desert, decided that she wanted to go away to the preserve, Softie had no choice but to accept it. She hopes that her kin and cubs will have a better life there, but... There's a certain sadness that comes with losing your littermate.
