Cersei was two years and three months old when she was bought from her old pride by the terrifying king Targaryen. She was terrified, though she hid it with her customary snark. She knew she was special. She was possessed of two uteruses, a fascinating mutation. She had been scared of King Targaryen, but she was even more afraid of Queen Daenerys, whose task it was to introduce Cersei to pride life; Targaryen had other duties to attend to. But Queen Daenerys, for all the terror she was excellent at inducing, was kind to Cersei. She explained everything. She placed Cersei in the House of Montfort, changed her Prune base to Aufeis, and set Cersei up to become one of the most coveted lionesses in the Lily Pride, as well as assigning her a hunting party. Cersei soon clicked with the extremely snarky lioness Talisa, also Montfortian, who told Cersei all about her life. Talisa was over three years older than Cersei - but that didn't stop her from treating the newcomer like an equal. She gushed to Cersei about her mother, the Montfortian lioness Alicent, and the father she had never met, a king named Aphio. It was a practice of the Lily Pride to frequently stud its lionesses out to other unrelated kings, incorporating fresh blood into the pride, Talisa told Cersei. She also explained that anyone could tell that she had inherited her looks and personality from her father, as Alicent was a very kind lioness with completely brown coloring. Talisa had icy eyes; Alicent had inherited her clay eyes from her father, Targaryen's predecessor Rambaldi. Alicent's pelt and markings were of a brown theme, like that of King Rambaldi and her long-deceased mother Lisbeth. Meanwhile, Talisa's eyes were much like the seafoam orbs Alicent had told her her father had, and Talisa had also inherited her green markings from that king Aphio. Cersei soon met Alicent and understood Talisa's words; one could barely tell they were mother and daughter at all.
Upon your arrival, Cersei scurries to you and pushes her back and behind against your chin to make you notice her more. There seem to be hopeful sparkles in her eyes.

Cersei greeted you happily as you approached. Then, she idly said she had this neat story from yesterday, but maybe you don't care enough to hear about it. Because you didn't want to listen to her yesterday. Because you were busy with other pride mates. No, it's okay, she understands. She's not as important as them. She's sitting very close now. Uh.

Cersei (GROUNDED 🤬🔪) is sulking after another pride member called her a rude name. You reassure her that she's just got cub-bearing hips.
