Tulip was just a few months old when her pride had a traveler come through to stay with them for a while. She, just like the other cubs, bombarded the miss lion with questions. Why did you travel? How did you eat? How far has she gone? Where did she get her pretty jewelry? She answered them with all the patience of an owl, giving them a detailed, albeit censored, explanation of why she went out, some stories of her travels, that she usually hunted for small game between prides, and she had traveled very far, and that she was gifted her jewelry. Tulip was enamored, pestering the miss lion the whole time she was there. She answered her questions, keeping the more hardships of being a traveler from the cub's ears as to not scare her. Though, maybe she should have. As soon as she was able, Tulip went off to become a traveler on her own, with all the romanticized ideas of traveling that the miss lion had put in her head incidentally.

Tulip wandered into the territory and was found by a submale, ComfyOak, while he was on patrol. He led her back to the dens and went off again to finish patrolling. Nokii, the King, was very relieved to see that a cub could indeed survive outside on their own as a Traveling Lioness. They let the cub stay for a while and two of the pride's lionesses, SavannahDust and CreamBark, told her all about the other Travelers that had visited them and the cub, Mesa, that they had set off to become a traveler. Tulip noticed that almost every lion in the den had their own mouse, and another lioness, BeigeMask, explained that they keep mice as little companions wherever they go. Quite a few mice were interested in Tulip but BeigeMask explained that she was simply too young to have a mouse, and when she looked around she noticed that indeed none of the cubs had mice. She didn't seem very bothered though. When it was time for her to leave and find another pride to travel to, Nokii gave her a weird-looking plant and taught her how to get water from it during the harsh droughts. [Decor Equipped: Bi]

Helixagonal #179815
Tulip arrived at the pride with fluff still between her ears. She was greeted by a friendly, tiny leopon, the diplomat Aegis. When Tulip saw the pride leader, the suspicious Bermuda, it became clear why a diplomat was still around. Tulip was still Tulip, and she bombarded the diplomat with questions just as she did many others. It started with 'why do you look funny??' and grew into questions about the pride itself, what other travelers had Aegis met, what were they like, and so on. Aegis was more than happy to answer Tulip's questions. After all, she'd spent a lot of time meeting new lions from foreign places, and had answers to a lot of them. She was equally happy to listen to Tulip talk about her first adventure to Nokii's pride, and about the mouse tradition they held. Although Aegis did show Jade around the pride, from a distance at first until she got permission from Bermuda that this stranger could get closer, Tulip didn't bond with anyone quite as much as she did with Aegis. The 'pon wasn't upset about that. When Tulip ended up playing and nibbling with the jewel bobbles on the ends of Aegis's cloak, the question came about if Tulip liked jewelry. That got the adolescent to perk up immediately. "Before you leave, I'll give you some jewelry of your own," Aegis offered. "I don't have the fanciest jewelry, but I've got some!" Tulip nodded eagerly and was wriggly for quite some time. She got to experience her first hunting trip in that pride, and before she left, she got her very own shiny chain jewelry.

~Queen Alpha~ #100243
Tulip arrives into the pride instantly greeted by the king of the pride, the wrinkles in his face made it obvious he was going to retire soon. She walks around the pride with him learning all their ins and outs when she comes across their traveler. "Hello, you arent too much younger than me! I'm about to travel for my first time and I'm a tad nervous, my mom gave me this mane as a token of luck on my travels so maybe I can do the same for you!" Flare says as she places a mane onto the cub styling it. "Perfect! Whenever you leave you'll have a token of good luck from me! Maybe our paths will cross again in our travels, until then I've gotta get going! Make sure to bombard Growl, she is my mom." She says with a little giggle as she leaves the pride. Tulip watches the lioness leave with her cubs and pads over to some water looking down at her reflection she smiles, she looked good in the mane. (Decor Equipped: Glorious Mane [Forsaken Shade])

Scouting for Booty (#89370)
Tulip was attacked just outside the territory and knocked out and drug in. She awoke the next morning trapped in a cave with a few golden lions huddled over her with scruffed up faces, and sad eyes. She was questioned about if she was okay, Tulip said she was fine and asked where she was. They explained that she was in the Valley of Eka, which had once been named High Ridge Valley. They explained it was now ruled by a lioness who had killed their entire pride, except for them. Tulip inquired as to why, they explained they had no idea and that they had been trapped here for days with little food and water. Tulip was terrified that she would be stuck there too, but later in the day she was retrieved by two lionesses with similar coats to hers and she was brought before the queen. Tulip was shaking in her fur, the queen looking her over. Her eyes didn't seem right, and the lionesses around her barely acknowledged her presence. "Who are you?" the queen asked, and Tulip could barely get out her name. The lionesses laughed at her nervousness and Navira let out a low growl. "Louder." She said. Tulip said her name louder for her, and then the lionesses started laughing at her name. Navira gave another low warning growl to them. "What use do you have to me?" the queen asked, Tulip's eyes widened and she didn't have a quick enough answer. Navira flicked her paw and she was joined shoulder to shoulder by two lionesses that lead her away and essentially tossed her down a ridge. "Don't come back." They chided her.

Elio #208857
A colorful bird tried tirelessly to keep Tulip away from this odd place behind the jagged peeks. her being in heat and her light pink color would have irritated the king of these lands... it took far too long for Tulip to actually listen to the bird, and finally left. The bird felt like it needed to guide this young lion from danger...
added purple starling

Hannbells #129483)
Added White Cover Marking to Slot 7 via RMA

Uhuru #92107
Decor Added: Mawari Horse; Pentacle Wristband

When Tulip crossed the borders to the Pride of Soaring Eagles, she beheld a magnificent sight. A beautiful Mawari horse - a stranger to these lands - pranced the lands before her, obviously looking for some succulents to eat. Tulip watched the majestic animal for a while, until she noticed something else. A hunting patrol of lionesses was approaching the horse, intent on an easy kill. But Tulip would not have it. There was enough prey around, even on first sight this was not a poor Pride. These lionesses didn't need to attack this strange and beautiful creature, Tulip would stop them.

And that is what she did - when the first lioness attacked, Tulip jumped in her way to stop her from hurting the horse. During the fight that followed, the horse managed to escape. Tulip was eventually overpowered and taken prisoner, but at least she had achieved something.

During the days that followed, Tulip was forced to work hard for the other members of the Pride. She had to free the elders from flees, look after the cubs, find prey for the broodmother - and only sometimes she was allowed to join hunting patrols.

It was a relief for Tulip when, during one moon- and starless night, she finally managed to slip away quietly. She would certainly not miss this Pride.

Tulip was welcomed into Zesty Breakfast Burrito's pride, as many lionesses were curious of her and asked him to allow her passage. He reluctantly agreed, and Tulip was welcomed into the pride. The lionesses immediately swarmed around her, complimenting her coat and asking about her beautiful mane. When she had finished answering all their questions about where she came from and where she was going, she huddled down with them and began to tell them stories about her travels.
Over the next few days, Tulip learned much about the pride and its king, through the gossip of the lionesses. She learned the king was fair, though held a high temper which was easily disrupted. They warned her not to offend him, but other than that, they seemed to respect him for the shelter and community he brought. She was hesitant to stay for much longer, for fear of mistakenly offending Zesty Breakfast Burrito, and so the next day she announced that she had to continue her travels. The lionesses were devastated, as they had grown so fond of her, and so they begged her to stay until the next dawn. Tulip reluctantly agreed, and spent the night swapping stories and laughs with the other lionesses. Once dawn came, she prepared to leave, and the lionesses brought her several gifts to keep with her on her journies. They would miss her, but she would always hold a piece of them and the friendships they shared with her.

⭑☘ Quail Heart ☘⭑ (#207550)
[Added: Jewelry: Lapis Gem Headpiece & Kingfisher feather decor]
After tulip left the past pride, she wandered trought unknown lands for a long time... But now with fear. Lastly she found a big amount of animals affected by rabies who tried to attack her and even kill her. She was lucky to continue alive and healty.
When she arrived Halot's pride she was on a bad state, full of injuries that other animals made to her, thirsty and hungry as she never was before. When she saw two lionesses approaching her, she Immediately fainted. When tulip woke up, she found herself on a fresh cave, with her injuries being cleaned by a lioness. She asked what happened to the strange lioness, who started to tell Tulip everything once she ended cleaning her injuries.
The lioness, wich name was Xantana, told Tulip she found her along with another pridemate wandering trought the territory lands, so they decided to approach and help her, but once they arrived with her she inmidately fainted, letting the two lionesses carry her to the pride's den. Tulip was not only exhausted, but was found with a heatstroke and dehidrated. Xantana offered Tulip some water, who drinked all of it like a desperate cub after his training.
Tulip was really gratefull with the pride, who decided to help her and give her a shelter, even when she was a stranger to them. She decided to help them on everything she could as a sing of gratitude. Once she recovered she acompained some lionesses on a hunting session despite the rabid animals outside there that could be lurking trought the shadows, waiting that a distracted and weak lioness were left behind.
When Tulip had to go, the pride gifted her some feathers and a pretty lapis headpiece, they would miss her. It seems that despite everything, being a traveler is not bad at all.

Savannahnight's pride #143743
The next pride Tulip came across took her in immediately, listening to her stories and begging for more. The lions here, she noticed, were either very friendly or very shy, but all were loyal to Savannahnight, they acted like a family, playfully teasing each other between play and grooming. She noticed first, however, that they didn't have much. they looked at her in wonder. Tulip spent most of her time with Savannahnight, the king. He was not much to look at, and his mane was short, but he had a powerful and impressive aura. Tulip was aware she was coming into her heat, and she found herself thinking of having cubs. Twilight, the young adolescent male, had a cave all his own, where he collected plants. he didn't have many, but she was placed in his den, along with other travellers and Savannahnight's cubs.
After becoming pregnant, Savannahnight made her a nest, and lionesses brought her food from their hunts. She followed the movements of the pride, looking for a gift they might give her. When her cubs were born, she knew she would have to stay longer until they were weaned. She didn't want them to get hurt on her travels, and they would slow her down.

DixieChick's pride #144100

Tulip arrived and was greeted by the aging king Celtic. Soon after he passed, the young primal (ferus) Komba took over. The island pride treated her well.

Swamp Spa Paradise
Added - Marula Branch
Due to her exhaustive travels, Tulip decided to seek out the rumored Spa found in a rather large swamp. She was able to easily find it due to how loud the visitors were. During her stay, she met a few other passerby travelers and swapped stories with them. Tulip decided to not partake in the 'aphrodisiacs' that Keralis had supposedly invented. She wasn't exactly keen on licking the skin of toads. The thought alone made her shiver. Ugh, disgusting.

Damien #214545
In Damiens pride, Tulip and Damien bonded over how great horses were. She got many compliments on her mane and swapped stories with the other traveler, Mayla, that was there as well. She birthed a cub and when it was time to leave, she was given a gift to add to her collection.
Equipped: Mole Snake

Maliki’s Pride #)164628
Added: Réunion Fody
Tulip arrived at Maliki’s pride with a new travelling companion Ricky the Réunion Fody. She decided that she wanted to learn how to be a good mother to Tassimo and heard great things about the lionesses in Mailiki’s pride and knew she would gain a lot of knowledge. During her time I’m Mailiki’s pride she made a lot of new friends and Tassimo grew quite close to Feathers so Tulip decided it be best not to split them up. Tulip was as to leave Tassimo behind but from experience she knew it was the best thing for her strong little Cub.
