UH OH, NEW CHARACTER LORE??
Anyways meet Bahati, the daughter of the moon deity in her religion because yes

Bahati tied the veil around Alligator's head, finishing off the look.
"Are you completely sure you want to try and make a lineage of leopons which will.. probably fail in the end?" She asked, slightly puzzled from the conversation she'd had 3 or so minutes ago.
"Of course I am," Alligator answered. "Why wouldn't I? It's one of the few ways we can honour our ancestors."
Bahati trotted off to the statue of her mother.
Someone had painted the lioness on the perch in the past, (who Bahati assumed to be Sanaa) but it was all cracking and falling off now.
"It's a shame, really," Alligator took the time to break the silence. "Whatever the god of art was in your religion must've used pretty bad paint."
"We 𝘥𝘪𝘥𝘯'𝘵 call him a god. We called him a deity, Alligator." The blue-furred lioness growled, dragging her paw across the statues leg. She trotted out of the temple, just so she didn't want to speak to Alligator.



Bahati walked back into the temple, only to see Alligator gone. She didn't know how he could get around with a billion veils on him— she doubted she ever would.
She watched as the blue ghost fireflies light up and zoom around the jars they were kept in for a moment, while the females the lioness kept stayed on the bottom of the jars.
Even with the dull light from the jars, they lit the temple well enough for Bahati to see without any kind of seeing in the dark stuff. (despite the fact that seeing in the dark was completely normal for lions)
Engravings in the walls started to glow under the moonlight that was shining through a large window in the middle of a wall, behind the statue.
However, the glow was aqua.
A new evil was coming, and Bahati couldn't do anything about it.
Because the one destined to beat it had already been born.
