Lil scoop

Lil Scoop is a whirlwind of teeth, claws, and pure chaotic energy. She’s the kind of lioness who will tackle a full-grown lion to the ground in greeting, then turn around and eviscerate anyone who so much as looks at her family the wrong way. She’s scrappy, unpredictable, and just unhinged enough to keep everyone on their toes.

Ariston found her as a half-starved, half-feral little thing, lurking in the wilderness with a defiant gleam in her eyes. No one knows how she survived out there alone, but whatever she endured, it left her with a fire that never went out. He scooped her up—quite literally—and despite her protests, growls, and attempted maulings, he never let go. Over time, she stopped trying to bite his face off (mostly) and decided that maybe, just maybe, she’d let herself belong to something bigger than just survival.

Now, Lil Scoop is the pride’s resident menace, a strange mix of ruthless protector and absolute goofball. She’s the first to charge into a fight and the last to leave, but she’s also the one pulling ridiculous pranks, laughing in the face of danger, and making sure no one ever takes life too seriously.

Underneath the wild bravado, though, there’s loyalty as deep as the roots of the oldest baobab tree. Hurt her family, and you will regret it—because Lil Scoop may be playful, but when it comes to those she loves, she’s not just a fighter. She’s a nightmare.
