Anzu

Part of the same 3-cub litter as Setuna the leopon

(Since she's 1% fert and I don't care too much about her producing cubs, I'd breed her a few times whenever she went into heat, no fert boosts - at 9 years old she finally conceived her first litter after 166 unsuccessful attempts, lmaooo)

-Lore-
Key Relationships:
A - Setuna (Sister), Shin (Sister)
B - Princess (Half-Sister)

Personality: As the largest cub in her litter, Anzu is rather protective of her sisters. She is thick-skinned, but cannot stand by when she sees others being bullied. She enjoys climbing trees - usually to nap in them - and has little concern for her appearance, thus her fur is often rumpled and littered with debris.

1 year, 1 month:

“Hey, Anzu?”

She tilted her ear towards Shin.

“Yeah?”

“Is it really okay for us to be here?”

Anzu scowled without opening her eyes. “What do you mean? Of course it is. That dad guy is in charge, and he brought us here.”

“Well...”

Shin trailed off, and was silent for so long that Anzu began to doze off. Eventually she piped up again.

“Do you think Mom misses us?”

A scoff came from Anzu’s right. She opened one eye to regard Setuna; the leopon was curled into a ball, her back towards her sisters.

Anzu rolled onto her back.

“If she did, would that change anything?”

“...I guess not.”

“Exactly. We’re here now, so we just gotta make the best of it, yeah?” She glanced at Setuna. “Even if that means giving up the whole hunting gig and trying something else.”

Setuna’s ears twitched.

“Like, uh... cubsitting. Or scrounging up beetles.”

Shin giggled. “You’d be good at that, with all the digging you do.”

Anzu grinned. “Yeah, or we could dig pitfalls for prey. Who needs to strangle an antelope when you could just dig a big ol’ pit for it to fall into?”

Setuna cleared her throat. “And, ah, how are you planning to get out of this ‘big ol’ pit’ once you’ve dug it?”

“...Huh. Didn’t think of that.”

The sounds of her sisters’ laughter lulled Anzu to sleep.
