Solo le pido a Dios
Que la guerra no me sea indiferente
Es un monstruo grande y pisa fuerte
Toda la pobre inocencia de la gente

Madrid was born in captivity in
a faraway place in a place he tells the others is called a "circus": a place of blinding lights, overwhelming scents, and so many humans! Many of the others in his pride think it sounds like hell, but Madrid insists that it wasn't ALL bad. It was a lot, but it could also be a lot of fun, making others, even if those others were you know, not PEOPLE, happy! One night, when the circus came to the lion lands, Madrid followed his instincts and followed the stars, meeting
London.

In-Character Intro
A young mane pads up to you, raising a paw into their air and... waving it? What is he doing? At your confused expression, he cocks his head. "Have you never seen a wave before?"
Huh. A wave. The name makes sense, at least. It doesn't stop the motion from being terribly cumbersome.
His brown eyes blink harshly, as if waiting for you to repeat the action. When you do not, his tail swishes in minor annoyance. "My name is Madrid.
Soy el rey de estas tierras."
Annd he's making no sense again. You look around. He's definitely the alpha here. OK, you can work with that.

About Madrid
Who in the pride are they closest to?
Madrid is closest to
London, the lioness who has taught him so much about the wild! He never gets bored around such a bubbly personality!
What are their hobbies?
You can take the lion out of the circus, but you can't take the circus out of the lion. A showman at heart, Madrid loves practicing acrobatic tricks. When exploring the territory, he can often be found making little obstacle courses for himself. He's happy to show off his moves to the ladies. Most are weirded out by him, but, hey, the ones who stick around are the ones who are meant to be, right?
What are some things other pride members say about them?
London: "He's so much fun to be around! I don't get distracted
from him, he distracts
me! *laughs*"
Lisboa: "He's so
manly, jumping from rock to rock like that. *eye roll*"
Santo: "He saved me, so I'll always be grateful for that. I guess I'm even more grateful, though, that he doesn't treat me like a sob story just because I needed saving."
Prince: "Madrid? Me and him go way back. He's a
card."

OOC Notes: I thought the Fatherly trait would be super helpful, but it's kind of not??? It sometimes enables me to complete Gorilla quests for free, though. Being broadly kind, though, is quite helpful because of the synergies with other traits in the pride. I think I'll pick a different trait for my next king.
Name origin: capital of Spain.
