Name: Asphodel

Age: 3 years & 2 months

Gender: Cisgender Female

Rank: Advisor

Personality: Seemingly unassuming, Asphodel has very little presence until a situation calls for her to set herself forth. With an even temperament, she's privy to acting as a mediator in arguments and likes to keep a good relationship with those around her. In general, she's a very gentle soul who despises conflict and struggles to accept failure, something that causes her to remain somewhat isolated as to not risk making and losing close friends. Due to this, she prefers to stick close to a rare few lions that she considers trustworthy and balance her anxiety.

Appearance: The lioness has a lithe build and stands a little below the average lion, something that she uses to her advantage when it comes to hiding away. Her pelt is a mottled mess of various colors, as she has a silvery base tint covered with darker stripes, splashes of cream and light peach, and medium grey rosettes. Her eyes are a striking purple that gradually lightens the closer her irises are to her pupils. She can often be found wearing chains and a tail wrap, though this isn't always the case.

Orientation: Bisexual

Pride: Sundown

Rank Wanted: Formerly: Broodmother

Backstory: As a young cub, Asphodel admired the patience and kindness of the pride's brood mothers and vowed to one day follow in their pawsteps, caring for those younger and weaker than her. However, due to certain events, she was struck with intense anxiety when it came to having relationships of any kind. The fears of abandonment prevented Asphodel from truly connecting with any cubs, something that she denied for as long as possible until the cracks within her porcelain mask began to form. Once the realization that her inability to properly connect to the cubs affected both her and those around her, the adolescent turned away from the role with a heavy heart and began to pursue the path of a Scout. Having spent time with various lions both from the prides and not, she accumulated a knowledge of how lions typically act and react to certain situations. Strategically speaking, this proved itself to be useful when it came to advising others in the pride-at first only friends, then acquaintances, and finally pride leaders-and earned Asphodel her current spot as Sundown Pride's second advisor.

Family: Deceased, she no longer has any recollection of them as she has blocked that period of her life from memory to the best of her abilities.

Other:
~Asphodel uses She/Her or She/They pronouns

Name: Eira

Age: 4 years

Gender: Cisgender Female

Rank: Priestess

Personality: Flirtatious and teasing, Eira prefers to keep a lighthearted tone in most situations. Though incredibly loyal and skilled at her duties, she can often be found conversing with others and gravitating towards large groups rather than alone in a cave. The priestess has a brighter temperament and rarely voices genuine discomfort or annoyance, instead opting to joke about her "agitation" towards minor inconveniences in order to pacify those around her. Yet, when alone, she is prone to bursts of anger and frustration due to the weight of responsibility upon her shoulders. The lioness devotes herself to service of the deity, Fjolla, goddess of avalanches and new beginnings. Due to this, Eira tends to wander a little close to danger's way, something that she acknowledges but makes no effort to change.

Appearance: Eira is a short-furred lioness of median stature with well-defined muscles. She stands below many Snowy Forest lions-as they are usually taller than the average lion-but on equal footing with most other tribes. Seeing as she has a coat length that leaves her vulnerable to the elements, she can often be found wearing furs and feather wraps along her body to trap in any warmth. It is incredibly rare to see the lioness without these ornaments, and she only removes them for special ceremonies.

Orientation: Pansexual and Questioning Polyamorous

Pride: Snowy Forest

Rank Wanted: Priestess

Backstory: A playful cub, Eira was drawn to stories the priestesses told of ancient gods that once roamed the earth. These stories were the only thing to get her to sit still, and as such, they were often used as leverage to get the cub to behave. Having spent so much time with the priestesses of Snowy Forest, Eira was taken on as an apprentice once she had reached adolescence, a role she took with grace and dignity. Though she never fully outgrew the childish teasing behavior or flirtatious tendencies, no one could deny that the future priestess was more than competent to fill in the role, even if she wasn't solemn and silent. After the loss of one of her mentors, the lioness was promoted and chose a deity that had long been forgotten among the prides, Fjolla. A few months later, her secondary mentor passed, leaving the priestess alone once again with the stories of generations past, waiting patiently for a cub to pass her knowledge on to.

Personality: Fortunae is a childish, playful, sassy, yet pouty lioness. She is friendly and welcoming to others, but can also sometimes be too nosy in conversations and other people's business. She also refuses to get wet since she hates having cold and plastered fur, so she almost always refuses to go into water unless there's no other way around. (Perhaps also something to do with her backstory )

Personality:
Bloodthirsty and easily excited, Katsani takes everything as a challenge and loves to win. She is overly competitive and can often be found racing across the plains following the hunts. Katsani quiet literally lives for the hunt and carnage, soaking in the bloodied fields is her favorite pasttime

Appearance: Click on her name for her wardrobe link!!

Backstory:
Born long before the prides were even thought about, Katsani grew up with a different name and with different morales. However, she was caught by hunters and brutally mutilated before she escaped. She tried to run for her life, finally learning what prey felt when she hunted. She never made it and died only a few steps from the freedom she hoped her pride would afford her.

Katsani does not remember how she became what she is now, only that she never wants to be the prey again. During the great hunger, Katsani was far more active and powerful as then everyone was afraid of being hunted and hunting each other. During this time, she met up with a snake deity who seemed to enjoy the carnage as much as she did. Ever since, the two have been near inseparable and Katsani has taken to calling the snake Calliope.

Age: Older than Dirt

Gender: nonbinary, they/them exclusively

Rank: Spirit/Deity of Death

Personality:
Serene and calm, Achlys has yet to show any other emotion besides exhausted. They rarely ever speak, but when they do they almost always have a wing in front of their mouth to hide it.

Appearance: Click on the hyperlink for their wardrobe!

Orientation: Demisexual and demiromantic

Rank Wanted: N/A

Backstory:
Aloof and distant, Achlys is rarely spotted interacting with anyone- be they priestess, deity, or mortal. They do not speak of their past, nor do they talk of their work. Achlys only very rarely removes their crowned veil to reveal the lack of eyes beneath the purple garment. They help other deities when they are allowed and welcomed, but usually Achlys works alone with only the celestials at their side.

Achlys and Lithrit have been friends for a long time and the deity fears the day when the goddess of healing becomes corrupted and dies. It is a race to see who can get the soul first for Achlys, always fearful Lithrit will save one more. If they are worried about making it before the goddess, Achlys is not above distracting or sabotaging the other.

They have a strict loathing of Katsani, who always rushes people's lives. Achlys likes it when lives play out their full amount and those who end them abruptly drive the spirit insane.

If Achlys is forced to respond to a priest, they do so through visions and dreams. There are rarely any words used, even within the visions.

Name: Fjolla

Age: Unknown

Gender: Genderfluid, usually presents as female

Rank: Spirit/Deity of Avalanches

Personality: Cold yet intense, Fjolla is known for her quick mood swings and overbearing behavior. Like an avalanche, she strikes at once, never letting you rest once her claws have sank their way into your mind. However, the goddess has a softer side after the waves of intensity. Little more is known about her, as she rarely shows herself, but it should be noted the Fjolla prefers not to communicate with priestesses and lions directly, but rather through cryptic signs and signals for her own amusement.

Appearance: Fjolla is a tall, well-muscled lioness with a slight mane, blue and silver fur, and fogged eyes. Her fur is long and course, well suited for treks into the mountains, and provides excellent cover in both glaciers and snowy fields. The goddess has a flame-like smoke that spills out from her tail-tip, leaving an icy trail behind her wherever she goes. She can usually be found wearing subtle silver and blue jewelry, with her main accent piece being a large grandidierite necklace.

Orientation: Bisexual (75% feminine preference)

Pride: N/A, primarily guides Snowy Forest

Rank Wanted: N/A

Backstory: Little is known about Fjolla's time with the living, for she refuses to speak of it. What has been dragged out of her is little bits and pieces of information that seems nonsensical at first glance. Fjolla was a lioness from a time before the prides and lived among a group of travelers. She claims to have been frozen and is waiting to thaw. She also claims to have had no knowledge of the deities known to the prides and instead prayed to others that she was never able to meet. Other than these tidbits, she has surrounded no information.

Name: Kyron

Age: 1 year 7 months

Gender: male

Rank: Apprentice Priest

Personality:
Quiet and observant, Kyron seems to always be watching everyone around him. When he does speak, he usually drops hints of things he shouldn't know but has somehow found out.

He seems more like only a part of a whole rather than his own lion as his personality has long since morphed to mirror his twins. They often finish each other's sentences, occasionally even responding out loud to something the other appeared to have only thought.

Appearance: ((clink on name for wardrobe link))
An albino Primal Felis with colorless eyes. He wears black leg wraps with raven feathers and has hematite chains draped across him. He also has an extensive neck scar and another scar across his stomach.

Orientation: Figuring that out

Pride: Haven

Rank Wanted: Head Priest

Backstory:
Kyron was born only seconds after his twin sister- Kyria. They were born to a small family unit made up of only their stern father, hard-assed mother, and their fanatical grandmother. At around a month old, Kyron began to have what he called visions. His head felt like it was splitting and colors exploded behind his eyes. Occasionally there would be mumbled voices accompanying the fireworks of colors. He took this as a deity speaking to him, which freaked out his family members. As if that wasn't enough, Kyria began to have dreams that correlated with what Kyron spoke of. The voices both the twins heard always seemed to warn them of death and despair, sometimes even the end of the entire world.

Things began to go downhill for the family when the two cubs were around a year old. Drought and diseases struck the family. Once their grandmother had passed from a bout of sickness, his father blamed Kyron and his twin and chased them out, claiming this would free them from their curse.

After wandering, the twins crossed into Haven Pridelands, visions and dreams still chasing them. Kyron supports his twins desire to be the queen, and makes sure to get as much dirt on everyone to help make this a reality for her. If he needs to blackmail the leaders to make his twin a leader then so be it.

Name: Kyria

Age: 1 year and 7 months

Gender: Cisgender Female

Rank: Apprentice Healer

Personality: Blunt and enigmatic, Kyria provides a window into the lives of the twins. Though she is often quiet and offers little to no conversational fuel, occasionally her words will paint a vivid picture of a life marred by webs of lies and greed. The lioness prefers to speak in riddles, or an odd mixture of truth and lies, leaving many questions in her wake. She is incredibly close with her brother, so much so that her personality will mirror his when the two are together, leaving an uncanny sense that she is half of a whole rather than her own being. Kyria spends her days studying the venom and antidotes of snakes within the healers den, cryptically foretelling of doom and catastrophe before once again fading to the shadow that haunts your every step.

Appearance: The lioness is a Felis Primal, and as such has long fangs and a bobbed tail. She stands a bit above most adolescents, at about the height of the average lioness, and has a fit and muscular frame, with the majority of her muscle definition being shown around her shoulders. Kyria's fur is a burnt to bright orange with shadow-like stripes and marbled white webs throughout her flank. Her fur is quite short, though she has tall tufts atop her ears. The healer can usually be found wearing golden chains with snake jewelry. She rarely takes most of her adornments off, but the snake leg and ear wraps have and will remain with her no matter the circumstance.

Orientation: Questioning, likely pansexual

Pride: Haven

Rank Wanted: Queen, Kyria desires to be a leader in her own right, without someone to control her movements and decisions.

Backstory: Born a mere few seconds before her twin brother, Kyria entered a family made up of a stern father, stubborn mother, and fanatical grandmother. During her first month of living, Kyria began to have dreams where colors seemed to be too bright and voices whispered of omens, of death, and of the end of the very universe as they knew it. Yet, Kyron had visions that seemed to correlate with these dreams, leaving their family fearful and disgusted.

When the cubs were a year old, drought and disease struck the land. Their grandmother passed away from a violent bought of illness, and their parents chose to chase them from the land, hoping they'd be free of whatever curse the two had brought to their family.

Eventually, the twins wandered onto Haven Pride's lands, perhaps bringing with them omens of death and disease yet again...

Argent base with marbled skin and a skyward tsavo mane. He has the fiery squabble markings, labradorite mesh, noctis cobweb, bone unders, and copal tail banding. He also has tufted ears that stick straight up and over grown claws. His skin kinda hangs on his frame due to his age. He almost always has a pink flower tucked behind at least one of his ears and wears a pink murex tailwrap with a kunzinite skirt and blue grasshopper wings strung about his body. Along with the grasshopper wings he wears a gold beetle chitin nose and neck chain.

Orientation: Demisexual/amorous

Pride: Haven

Rank Wanted: N/A

Backstory:
Born without teeth, Ramiel was lucky he was living in Haven Pride as they could support an extra mouth to feed that couldn't do much more than gum. As a cub, Ramiel was put on the fast track towards priesthood since his mother was the last Priestess, becoming her apprentice almost before he could even walk. He found he connected more with the deity Sanika but also loved Fortunae and devoted his life to both goddesses.

Ramiel enjoys wandering the outskirts of the Haven Pride and communing with the goddesses as he goes about his day. He is often found helping out others whenever he has the chance. Occasionally Ramiel can be spotted staring into the distance, confused and lost in time. He hates to be seen like this and will do anything to avoid it or minimize the situation.

Ramiel is good friends with Nirva, seeing her as his grandchild.
