hello everyone!

so, to preface this, I'm aware that Berenos (#84593) has already made a post like this before, and as a disclaimer some of the ideas in this post are either directly taken from or inspired by ideas in that post. however, I felt that the effects could be much simpler and lacked a bit of personality, as well as having my own ideas about what the effects could be. I have also written some potential flavour texts for some of them, so I decided to make my own post.

most of these effects are triggered by random chance or interacting (Play/Groom/Tussle) with the lioness, so these aren't drastic effects, nor are they something a player would have to spend a lot of time worrying about, but a nice detail for those who care about the characters of their lions.

I tried to keep a good balance of negative and positive effects throughout the entire Good-Evil spectrum, so that it doesn't skew things in favour of a particular personality group, but it does allow the player to choose what benefits they would like vs. what risks they are willing to take when assembling their pride.

I am missing effects for a couple of personalities, so I would appreciate any suggestions for filling those in, as well as any adjustments to existing effects. feedback as to whether some of the effects may be exploitable are also appreciated, however since most of them are random chance or require interaction, I don't think there are many that could be exploited.

if you suggest an effect that requires flavour text, I'd love to see what you can come up with! but I do enjoy writing them, so no pressure.

in terms of the feed all/play all feature, I think the effects would probably be forfeit as Berenos suggested in their post.

Personality: Intrepid
Effect: Has a chance to reward a random common item when interacted with

Oh! [Lioness] has gifted you a(n) [Item]! She must have wandered off to find this. She swishes her tail innocently when you lightly berate her for leaving the territory, but perks up when you accept the gift.

Personality: Cuddly
Effect: Sometimes gives back a small amount of energy (5%-10%) when interacted with
Text:
When the fun is over, [Lioness] invites you to lay down with her for a while. You can’t say no; [Lioness] gives the best cuddles. The BEST. When she lets you up, you feel quite refreshed!

Personality: Graceful
Effect: Has a chance to reward 1-3% impression when interacted with
Text:
[Lioness] is so graceful during your interaction, she somehow manages to make you look good too!

Personality: Gracious
Effect: Has a chance to reward a random small animal carcass “gift” when interacted with
Text:
When you’re done, [Lioness] offers you a little snack. No, really. Please take it. She’s really not hungry, honest! You got a(n) [Carcass]!

Personality: Curious
Effect: Has a chance to reward a random common item when interacted with
Text:
Oh! [Lioness] has gifted you a(n) [Item]! Where did she get this...? You shake your head as she bounds off to find something else to occupy her. She’s always getting into everything.

Personality: Calm
Effect: Sometimes gives back a small amount of energy (5%-10%) when interacted with
Text:
[Lioness] looks so relaxed, you just have to lay down with her for a while. She purrs, grooms your mane and helps you forget about your worries of the day. When you get up to leave, you walk away feeling much better than when you arrived.

Personality: Spontaneous
Effect: Has a chance to reward a random common item or small carcass when interacted with
Text:
In the middle of your interaction, [Lioness] suddenly gasps and dives into a nearby shrub. When she emerges, she trots toward you and drops a(n) [Item] at your feet, looking eager to see your reaction. Before you can say anything, though, she’s running off after a butterfly, disturbing other pridemates in her path.

Personality: Evasive
Effect: Sometimes takes a small amount of energy to interact with (2-5%)
Text:
It takes you a while to find [Lioness], asking her friends where she went and trying to follow her scent. Funny, you could have sworn you’d seen her earlier. When you finally track her down and explain that you only wanted to ask how she’s doing today, she looks a little embarrassed, but happily accepts your invitation to spend some time together.

Personality: Distant
Effect: Sometimes takes a small amount of energy to interact with (2-5%)
Text:
When you approach [Lioness] and ask how she is, she is short and sweet with her answers, not making a lot of eye contact. You assume she must not be in the mood to talk right now, and suggest some activities you could do together instead. She slowly comes around to the idea, but soon goes back to doing her own thing afterward.

Personality: Lazy
Effect: Sometimes gives back a small amount of energy (5%-10%) when interacted with
Text:
[Lioness] leans on you and becomes a dead weight, flopping you both into the grass easily. She holds you captive and licks your head until you fall asleep, taking a short nap with her. When you wake up and manage to push her off, she barely stirs in her sleep, but you feel quite revitalized by the catnap.

Personality: Loud
Effect: Has a chance to reward 1-3% impression when interacted with
Text:
As you approach her, [Lioness] begins roaring and yelling about your arrival, disturbing nearby lionesses and animals. You stand tall and smile, accepting the (slightly deafening) praise with grace. You are pretty great, aren’t you?

Personality: Distrustful
Effect: Sometimes takes a small amount of energy to interact with (2-5%)
Text:
As you approach, [Lioness] stiffens up, growling at you and giving you all the signs that she’s not in the mood right now. You know how she is and try to approach from a few different angles, eventually laying down a few feet from her and waiting patiently for her to come to you, which she does, slowly. She sniffs at your face and sits down, finally asking what you want.

Personality: Rebellious
Effect: Has a chance to reward a scar decor to king when interacted with
Text:
Ouch! [Lioness] looks far too pleased with herself when a small amount of blood streaks through your fur. Long live the king...

Personality: Brutal
Effect: Has a chance to reward a scar decor to king when interacted with
Text:
Ouch! [Lioness] plays a little too rough sometimes. She pretends to be concerned, but you’re sure you saw her smirking behind her paw before you walked off to lick your new wound.

please let me know what you think! :3
