● Bio ●Newborn : Saskia is the 60th cub born to Vesper. She was birthed at night in the middle of the Wet Season.
{Vesper could tell that both females inherited their mother's temperament, neither of them scratched or bit at him while he took his time greeting each one. They were gentle and patient and defiantly the anomaly within the pride. But he knew they would be strong enough to deal with life here. Giving each cub an affectionate lick, he said his goodbyes to Selkie just as he greeted her and left with a small smile on his face.}
Young Cub: *Bio stuff*
Cub:
| Wrestling: Succeeded
{Saskia wrestled briefly with their pridemate until they had them pinned and then began to groom their face, much to their pridemate's chagrin} | Pouncing: Succeeded
{Saskia was almost ready to pounce on her pridemate when she noticed they were a little tired. Purring, she approached them and began to lick the top of their head to reassure them.} | Chasing : Succeeded
{Saskia initiated a race with her mother and won - her self-proposed reward was an hour of cuddles.} | Stalking: Succeeded x2
{Just when you thought you were safe, Saskia stalked you down in the middle of your evening patrol and demanded that you let her groom away that cowlick in your mane, all in the name of "training". Sigh.} | Climbing: Succeeded - Failed 2nd Time
{Saskia climbed the big tree and noticed a pridemate at the bottom too frightened to climb. She descended the tree and gently encouraged them by saying that they'd get good at it one day, too - complete with cuddles.} - {Saskia didn't realize you meant they were supposed to climb the ROCKS and instead scramble up onto your mane! They leave some scratches and blame you for not specifying. Ouch! Their training sadly failed.} |
Adolescent: *Bio stuff*
Adult:
{ 2 years, 9 months old} - Saskia groomed her daughter's tiny face as she searched for a nipple to latch onto to. Just looking at her made her heart swell and warmth spread from her nose to the tip of her tail. Her daughter was perfect. Saskia was over the moon when her belly started to show signs of cubs and she excitedly waited for her time to become a mother. For the longest time, Saskia knew she wanted cubs of her own. Being a Broodmother was amazing, but it had nothing on the few moments she had with her own cub. Her mother, Selkie, visited her soon after to congratulate and warn her within the same breath. This little gift could be taken from her at a moment's notice. Saskia ran from the dread that tried to seize her at just the thought. She knew this. It was a matter of life in Mother's Den, but she hadn't considered her daughter a part of that reality yet. She was still basking in the glow of her birth and now she couldn't stop the sickening turn in her stomach. Her mother stayed by her side, giving her comforting cuddles and licks behind the ear until their King entered. She immediately stood to her paws, spreading her anxious energy to Saskia. Her mother bent down and quickly gave her a word of reassurance and a reminder to stay strong.
Vesper approached Saskia and greeted her warmly before he assessed their cub. It didn't take long for him to reject her and crush Saskia with a few words. He offered his apologies and left with her daughter. Saskia stifled her sobs as the cries of her daughter grew ever more distant. She couldn't hold them back when she felt her mother's pelt brush her own. Saskia quickly turned to nuzzle into her mother's fur, riding the wave of loss that crashed against every wall of her being.

~● Saskia really, really wants that meerkat snack. Like, so badly. The screeching is getting old, fast. You eat it to show them that life doesn't always get them what they want.
{ 3 months old}
~● When you greet her, Saskia makes sure to remind you to visit everyone else in your pride today.
{ 1 year, 10 months old}
~● You apparently ate something bad last night, and you just flop on the ground. Saskia comes up to you and asks if you want anything. She brings you some grass and water, and sits next to you until you feel better.
