the paa pride's history
first king and founder: Dipili; meaning green snake
end of July 2015; beginning of August 2015
on the eve of the August droughts, a young lion rose to power in a rocky outcrop close by to the vast African savannas. Dipili had dreams of wealth and recognition since he was a cub, but now, his dreams are coming true. he's beginning to establish himself as a force to be reckoned with. he's starting fights, killing innocent animals, and stealing. seemingly daily, a poor lioness is killed in the pride. however, his small pride is quite happy and well-fed. Dipili is expecting cubs with Astraea, the main huntress, whom is also the current queen of the Paa Pride.

the first cub in the pride has been born, and her name is Clothilde. Dipili doesn't seem too happy about her, seeing as Astraea only had one, but nevertheless, he celebrates her birth.

Charmian, one of the pride's huntresses, revealed she was expecting Dipili's cubs. Dipili does not seem to mind, but Astraea is furious.

Charmian's cub has been born, albeit overdue. a golden female named Letizia. Astraea, whom is usually kind and such, called for both Charmian and her cub to be killed. Dipili, whom was hesitant over killing his illegitimate daughter, made a compromise. Charmian, one of the best huntresses, needed to stay. Letizia was thrown out and never seen again, after given a tearful farewell by her mother.

Dipili has revealed his is contemplating on a second queen. Astraea seems heartbroken, and Clothilde feels betrayed. the rest of the pride is left to guess who this possible queen could be. while most assume it could very while be Charmian, Dipili has had his eyes on a certain other lioness for a while...
