Lore:
Night wandered into camp and was scooped up by a brood mother; she was mistaken as one of the pride’s cubs. Eventually they realized and Night explained she was a traveler despite her young age, and Valentino let her stay among the other travelers the Pride hosted. She left after gaining a little feathery companion and some bones that she got as a prize after winning a spar during training.

Lore:
Night wandered into a lush oasis, before being spotted by a hunting Leoponess. The leoponess, Pele, brought her into a dark, damp cave with a purple hue and a light at the end. Once they reached the end of the cave, there was a giant interstellar lioness, whose name is Lily Of The Valley. Lily showed the soon-to-be adolescent lioness to the other cubs and pregnant lionesses. Night left after 5 months(ROs) with Lilys worshippers. Before she left, she stopped by Lily Of The Valley and was given a few trinkets as keepsakes.

Night travels throughout new land, trying to find a new place to rest. The moon sets as the sun rises, she pauses her walking to stare at the sunrise.. all of a sudden a young lioness, around her age, tackles her to the ground. Dust particles float around the two as the young lioness stares at her.
"Who are you?" The young lioness tilts her head, not letting Night go.
Before Night can reply the young lioness is talking again.
"Guardian! I found someone!" Night stares at the young lioness before kicking her off, scrambling to stand up and get ready in case she needs to run.
An older lioness, way too old to be alive in fact, races over and stares at Night.
"Oh, you must be Night" The older lioness smiles while the young lioness stares confused.
"How'd you know?" Night tilts her head, confused on how this lioness knows who she is and who the lioness is.
"Right, sorry. My name is Guardian, I was told to meet you here by your past pride" Guardian sits down, looking at the young lioness.
"This is Granite, I'm sorry for her behaviour but she kept insisting on coming with me" Granite glares at Guardian in a playful manor.
"So we go?" Guardian nods and stands up, walking over to Night and picking her up. She places Night on her back, insisting that she rests and let Guardian walk her there.
Night nods her head, feeling tired, she lays her head down on Guardian's neck and slowly falls asleep.

After what seems like a five minute nap but is actually a two hour walk, Granite jumps onto Guardian's back, scaring Night into awakening. Night flinches and almost jumps off of Guardian's back, but Guardian is quick and grabs her before she could reach the ground.
Guardian smiles and puts Night down slowly, mentioning for her to follow. Night looks around for where Granite went, seeing Granite run off and tackle an older lioness, she then follows Guardian.
Guardian shows her around the pride before settling in her usual quiet spot where cubs would run past and stare or scream at the sight of the unusual lioness, Guardian.
Night decides to rest with Guardian for a few days less than a week before leading off to travel, knowing that she's made two new friends.

Lore: The days went by and Night was back on her traveling endeavors. She passed a few prides but she didn't feel drawn to them, it was almost like her body was leading her to a specific destination, to which she complied. After what felt like hours she suddenly hears the sound of water. Walking passed some trees she comes across a river, Night decides that this would be the perfect time for a rest. She walked to the edge of the river to have a drink. Lapping at the water he noted that it tasted oddly fresh, no hint of fish or even a plant-like aftertaste. "Hello..." a soft yet deep voice was heard behind her. Swirling around Night was ready to fight when her eyes met the starry blue glow that stared back at her. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you." the lion said. Night was not gonna lei if she said she was confused, in front of her stood the form of a lioness, yet the voice and aura was that of a male. "Who are you?" she asked with a questionable look. The lion looked at her with a blank expression, "I am Castiel. I'm an angel of the Lord."

"A what?" Night couldn't help but ask. "Never mind...and you are"

"Oh I'm Night, it's nice to meet you," She responded, it couldn't hurt to be friendly. Castiel stays quiet after that, leaving them both in silence. "Are you a traveler?" Castiel's voice suddenly interrupted her thoughts. "Yes, indeed I am." Was all that Night could say. If she was honest with herself this situation felt a little strange. But then she saw Castiel start to smile, Night thought it suited him...or her, she was definitely going to ask Castiel about this later. "If you would like, you may stay with me, I mean, my pride for the time being." Feeling a strange warmth at what Castiel said Night agreed and walked alongside Castiel to their pride.

When they entered the pride Night was instantly greeted by ₊☾Tempa☽₊. She almost had the same glow in her eyes as Castiel. "Oh my Castiel, who is this little one?" Her voice was soft and full of kindness. Castiel turned to Night then back at ₊☾Tempa☽₊, "This is Night, Night this is my dear friend ₊☾Tempa☽₊. She will teach you how to hunt and will answer any of your questions." With that Castiel left the two lionesses. "If I may..." ₊☾Tempa☽₊ guiding Night with one of her wings to and empty cave. Night looked around, the cave was filled with all sorts of trinkets and even weapons. "Being a traveling lioness can be dangerous, This will keep you safe." ₊☾Tempa☽₊ turned to Night.

₊☾Tempa☽₊ lifted her head, closing her eyes and spreading her wings over Night. Suddenly different colors of red and black swirls formed on her body. Night looked at it shockingly moving around, "A singular blessing of healing entrusted by Castiel. Whenever you are in danger or lonely, you will be wrapped in a feathery cocoon of good cheer and, even better, temporary invisibility. And I think they suit your wonderfully."

Night only blushed and gave ₊☾Tempa☽₊ a shy smile.

That evening after a hunt Castiel came bye and invited Night to their personal den. Inside Night thought that this would be the perfect time to ask Castiel her question. "Castiel?" he asked softly. The lion turned towards her, "Yes Night?" Castiel responded. Taking a deep breath she asked, "What are you, gender wise?" Castiel seemed to be thinking at that question but responded, "I...don't have one. But if it would make you feel comfortable to refer me to a specific gender then I wouldn't mind." Night actually understood what Castiel meant and nodded her head. Castiel moved closer towards Night, their noses barely touching. "There is something different about you." Castiel said in almost a whisper.

"What?" Night was confused. "You have something special hidden within you, I think that is why ₊☾Tempa☽₊ gave you the protection spell." Castiel looked deep into Night's eyes, the lioness felt her cheeks redden. "Is that so?" her voice finally came out. "Yes" Castiel confessed. Night looked away for a moment as Castiel's gaze softened and they moved closer resting their head against Night's, "I know this is a bit forward, but I would like for you to stay the night, with me." Castiel's asked, Night could only close her eyes enjoying the warmth of their breaths combining.

Later that night the two were snuggled against each other, their body heat keeping each other warm.

That was until she had to leave. Night stood at the edge of the pride, Castiel by her side, "I wished you could have stayed longer." Night looked at Castiel, "Me too, but I have to go." Night rested her head on Castiel's shoulder. Castiel returned the gesture by placing their chin atop her head, "Promise me you'll be safe." Looking up at Castiel, Night could only smile, "I promise."

Cubs born: (n/a if none, if any paste the link(s) here)
Lore: As Night wanders the desert on her travels, the small mewls of cubs ring in her ears. Her gaze darts to a nearby cave, and she notices lionesses preparing nests to give birth soon, along with a few cubs here and there, pouncing, playing, and nursing.. She then notices what seems to be a light pink tail, covered in black. She watches as the tail vanishes into one of the other dens, where she can smell prey.. Delicious rabbits, warthogs, you name it! She runs after the tail, her eyes narrowing slightly as she watches the cave shrink slowly.. Till she reaches the end of the cave, where she meets the Queen of the pride, ૨σรεɱα૨ყ.

"May I stay here?" Night asks ૨σรεɱα૨ყ, flashing a toothy grin at her as she glances at the beautiful, sleek figure of this lioness.. Who strangely is covered in black, perhaps a mutation? A birth defect, she wonders??? Then, a small purr follows, which replies, "Yes.. Welcome, to our pride as you spend some days here. Feel free to relax in the Nursery and get to know our cubs, or perhaps you'd like to hunt with our huntresses and get to know them as you stay?" Night feels like she'll like her stay..

Lore: confidently continuing her journey, she decides to make her way towards the marshlands to hunt and scout for refuge. as many hours crawled by, she picked up the faint sounds of rustling and playful squeaky roars. hopeful, the traveling lioness carefully trotted in the direction of these noises. as she grew closer, she was intercepted in the fading sunlight by a small frames felis. the dark but curious look in her eyes translated she did not have malicious intent but was dedicated to protecting the noisy adolescents the traveling lioness had neared. slowly, the felis tilted her head to assess this new feline, and the traveling lioness dropped to the ground and playfully rolled on her back, so the primal would understand her submission and intentions.

"You're new around here? We've had a lot of traveling lionesses pass through these lands as of late. I apologize if I came off as unwelcoming, these cubs have put me through it today and I don't want to be taking risks outside the pridelands. I'm fielst, by the way!" the felis, now revealed to be fielst replied.

"fielst, what a lovely name! I go by "night" for short, I'm just passing through looking for shelter before moving on with my travels."

"you should join us back at our den! our king is fond of harboring traveling lionesses, we have a surplus of food and amusement if you wish to stay!"

with that, night followed fielst as she rounded up and corralled the feisty cubs back in what she assumed to be the direction of their home. after a few days of helping around Uxie's pride and tussling with fielst and the abundance of cubs, she left with a full spirit and hope for her future journeys.
