🐾 INTERACTIONS 🐾
You tackle-hug 🔆Talvi🌀, happy to see them. Except apparently, you did it a little too hard. They wander off crying to their protector. Awwwww crap. You feel awful. Bad lion.
Telling you to stay perfectly still, 🌟Talvi🌀 carefully removes the small piece of bone that has been stuck in your teeth for days.

🐾 ABOUT 🐾
She was born nearly a year after Emperor Haidar took over the valley and found his lost mate Gry. Talvi's mother was reluctant to give Haidar any more cubs, fearful of them being forced to participate in the Heir Wars. She was eventually convinced by her eldest daughters, Iben and Aurora, as well as Griselda and Freya. Talvi was born alongside her littermates Warin and Minna, though Talvi looked like her paternal great-grandmother rather than her parents. Their mother was overprotective of them growing up, convinced Haidar would take them away too young. Talvi grew up loving both of her parents though, as her father explained to her and her littermates why her mother was acting like so. When she and her littermates were six months old, their father had Diameter, the leading broodmother, spend significant time with them to counter their mother's influence. Despite Diameter's strict and honest teachings, Talvi grew up more prone to trusting others. She was very naive and innocent, leading Haidar to not even ask her if she wanted to be an heir. This worked just fine for her, as she did not wish to be queen and handle so many things.
As a princess, not an heir, Talvi had certain freedoms. She was still trained to be a good royal, though she didn't have to worry about fighting or anything of that sort unless she truly wanted to learn (which she did not). Talvi rather enjoyed visiting her older sisters, especially since their mates had traveled across the empire many times. She loved to hear the stories about different lions. Talvi still proved to be a bit naive in this though, as she wholeheartedly believed every lion was good in some way or another.
This proved true even when she accompanied her sister Iben and her mate Thorin on their trip to the Silent Desert. This patch of harsh sands cut off the southwestern part of the continent to the rest of the Vast Lands. Worse, lions known as Reapers lived in the harsh climate, ravaging and pillaging any who dared to enter their territory. Thorin managed to make them allies, especially one particular group of reapers led by a smilus known as the Silent Reaper. This was Serkan, a fearsome and formidable lion who took one look at Talvi and told her that she would be his if she ever came back. Talvi fell in love with him, went home to say her goodbyes, and went back to the Silent Desert to live as his mate. She does not know exactly where his gifts come from, but she loves them and her life with him very much.
SERKAN, the Silent Reaper
