Scotch

Scotch was spoiled as a child, doted on by her father, Shenzin. She was always praised when she got training correct, and was always given the best food. When she became an adult, she always got to hunt with the most experienced lionesses, and learned quite a lot from them. Scotch and the heir to the throne, Hyacinthus, fell in love. Shenzin didn't tell her the reasons why, at least not directly, but he was glad that Scotch and Hyacinthus were close. He saw this as a way of tying up Mirthraya and Shenzin's lineages. However, Shenzin was awful at hiding that fact, and Scotch got the hint pretty quickly.

Hyacinthus made no secret that he was fond of males as well, and he, a sub-male named Apollo, and Scotch all happily entered a polyamorous relationship.

Scotch eventually gave birth to a daughter, Patch of Flowers, nicknamed "Flower". The cycle continued, when Flower fell in love with Hyacinthus' new apprentice, Glacier Rider. Once Glacier Rider was crowned Monarch, and Patch of Flowers their queen, Scotch and Apollo were retitled as Duchess and Duke, respectively.
