Bombom is one of the Three Great Queens, alongside Nell and Caladia. She and Nell found Micail during their journey in search of a new home, and after talking for long hours, they decided to continue this search with him.
Bombom was the one who took the initiative to leave the pride where she and Nell lived. The leader there was considerably cruel, and forced all the lionesses to live on the edge. They all had to participate in the hunts, being forced to make countless attempts until they succeeded, and those who failed... Were forced to go hungry until the next round of hunting.
Tired of this, the lioness decided that it would be better to risk living alone than to continue in that place. Nell noticed her leaving in the middle of the night, and decided to accompany her, which was probably what saved Bombom, until they both started a new life alongside Micail, because Bombom never had great hunting skills. She lacked a bit of brute strength, and perhaps even cold-blood, and was never happy being forced to hunt. And she didn't know that there were other paths to follow until she started the Golden Horizon pride. In this new home, she experienced a completely different dynamic, and through Micail's stories, she learned about broodmothers. In her old pack, the cubs were left to their own devices, so discovering the role of caring for them was a wonderful experience for Bombom, because for the first time in her life... She found herself.
Caring for the cubs, teaching them and entertaining them, made her feel fulfilled. She found herself to be a huge well of love, and each cub that passed through her care made her feel proud and content. Her warm personality is very evident when you see her with her cubs, and she loves and protects them all as if they were her own cubs!
Even after becoming an elder, she remained very active and refused to retire. As long as she has strength left, Bombom wants to continue being a broodmother. Throughout her life, she has taken care of several cubs, watched her own children grow up and move on to other territories, and still has plenty of love for so many other little ones.
When she reached the age of 15, she had no choice but to finally retire. Age had finally taken its toll on her bones, and she didn't want the cubs to see her begin to weaken.
It wasn't easy, but that same day, Nell and Caladia also moved into the elders' cave with her. Caladia was younger than the two of them, and had more energy, but she moved to keep them both company, even though she hadn't retired from her duties as hunters. Spending the rest of her days with her friends and enjoying Micail's frequent visits were a great joy for Bombom. She knew that the king tried hard to hide his sadness at seeing them grow old, since he himself would still live for a long time, but she was satisfied with the life she had led there, and with the bonds she had created.
Her departure was peaceful, in her sleep.
