-Lore-
Personality: A perfectionist. Serious and diligent, but gentle towards those that need it. She’s painfully aware that she’s smaller than full-blooded lions, but uses this to her advantage to be stealthy and dodge blows. Like her sisters, she feels very relaxed in trees.

Key Relationships:
A - Anzu (Sister), Shin (Sister)

1 year:

Ironically, this situation was very familiar.

Setuna pushed through the tall grass, her sisters on either side of her, keeping her gaze fixed upon her parent’s tail-tip. Until today, the tail had always belonged to her mother; now, it belonged to the lion who was apparently her father.

As if hearing her thoughts, Breídablik cast a smile over his shoulder.

“Not far now!” He called cheerfully.

“He said that twice already,” Anzu muttered.

Apparently the King meant it this time - less than a minute later, they found themselves in a clearing. Dozens of lions were lounging about, talking, grooming each other; they fell silent when they caught sight of their leader, and the three young females behind him. The weight of their gazes felt like a physical blow. Shin pressed harder against Setuna’s side, her tail flicking furiously, though it was unlikely she was the one being stared at.

“Everybody, listen up!” Breídablik called, as if his entire pride wasn’t paying rapt attention. “These,” - he flicked his tail at the three - “Are my daughters. Their mama’s from another pride. They’re gonna be living with us from now on, so everybody be nice, mkay?”

Silence.

“Have you been messing around with leopards?”

Setuna tried not to flinch. The accusation came from a grey male who was lying on his belly, watching her coldly. A young female with a similar pelt rested her chin on his back and stared at Breídablik with wide, deep blue eyes.

The king chuckled, apparently unbothered. “Nah. Their GRANDMA messed around with a leopard.” He smiled reassuringly at Setuna. “This one here takes after her mama, but they’re all my kids. Don’t go giving them any trouble, got it?” He smiled sweetly at the grey male.

The lion grunted, resting his head on his paws while the young female whispered into his ear.

This seemed to be the signal that the announcement was over; the pride resumed their chatting and grooming, though many of them kept glancing over at Setuna and her sisters. She tried to ignore them and focus on her father.

“Come on, I’ll show you guys where you’ll be sleeping. You can mingle with everyone else when you’re ready, yeah?”

Setuna could feel Shin trembling against her right flank. She could see Anzu kneading the ground from the corner of her left eye.

She forced a smile. “Sounds good.”

Hopefully this was just a hiccup at the beginning of their new life, and not a sample of things to come.
