You were cheerfully asking Cecilia about her day, but she seemed to get an itch. She excuses herself to groom the itch away in private.

Cecilia is a spirited lioness, despite her disability. As a cub, she was often bent in frustration and was hard to handle in her disdain for the world, bitter her sister could see while she was left in the dark. But she is slowly growing into herself; learning to accept her blindness, and everything that comes with it. While she is unable to officially hunt with her fellow lionesses, Cecilia is not totally incapable of the practice. Her sister taught her many things with never ending patience, and so the blind lioness has become adept at tracking and killing small prey like wild mice and hares by sound and scent.
In addition to this, Cecilia has found an odd fascination with death and the afterlife - a product of her boredom as an adolescent, most likely. Alongside the strange white raven that she has befriended, Cecilia collects skulls and bones, and is often found tracing them with interest with her paws. Cirio, the ever supportive father, often brings home a new skull for her collection. Cecilia can still have her broody moods and is often rather cynical and sarcastic - often times getting fed up with 'babying' from the pride.

While Cecilia lived out her life as close to a typical lioness as able, on the day of her 14th year - something strange happened. While those who she had grown up with settled down with aging lines, Cecilia’s signs of age disappeared. She was blessed with an eternal youth, but none knew why. There are some whispers among the pridemembers that the blind lioness’s ever growing facisnation and hoard of skeletal remains may have something to do with it, but none know for sure. It has taken Cecilia some time to adjust to her immortal being, but she’s taken it in stride and has become one of the most trusted sources for the prides history.
