Backstory
Ava was found left alone in the swamps near the Court of Murk's territory. No one knew where she had come from or if anyone was searching for her. Unable to take in a cub, heralds from the Court of Murk took Ava to the Court of Night and delivered her there. The cub was innocent, sweet, kind, and very beautiful and the lionesses decided she fit there more than with the bloodthirsty lions of the Court of Blood. As Ava grew, she retained her innocent nature and did not quite grow into the vain lionesses that she was surrounded by, though still loved them dearly and wouldn't want to be anywhere else. She met Captain Medora on a walk one day through the Court of Blood's grounds, meeting her at the border escorting some of the Court of Murk's lionesses on a foraging expedition. She was charmed by the lioness, despite Medora's rather gruff way of speaking and seemingly complete disinterest in her. She quickly bonded to her and is very rarely seen anywhere other than at her side, grooming her, watching over her as she sleeps, or just spending quality time. Medora is smitten with her, but if anyone would bring that up around her they would lose their tongues rather quickly.

Personality
Ava is a kind and gentle lioness. Despite her position in the Court of Night, she is rather humble though is aware of her beauty and will use it to her advantage if the need arises. As a herald, she has to be good at getting along with most anyone, especially enemies, and does so flawlessly. Due to her innocent nature, she doesn't do well around some of the more cruel and sharp-tongued lionesses in the Court, and can be a pain to be around for them due to her habit of being emotional when insulted or snapped at.

Stories
★・・・・The Birth of Tyranny・・・・★
Ava fell pregnant right before a wet season, causing her days spent resting to be gloomy and lonely. She would much rather have been able to bask in the sun, some comfort for her swollen belly. Captain Medora visited her often, ensuring she had plenty to eat and was as comfortable as possible. Despite having no relation to the future cubs, Medora doted on Ava as if she were to be a mother to them as well.
She went into labor early in the morning, and by the time the sun was up had given birth to two cubs, both girls. She was instantly obsessed with them, rarely leaving them with a Maid of Honour and instead spending her time nursing and bonding with them. The only issue was that one of the cubs, the one she had named Tyranny, had been born with strange black markings on her fur.
They were disorderly, streaked across her body in a messy way. This made Ava anxious, as the cub's appearance could mean she would receive some judgement from her fellow Court members. Ava tried to hide the cub when being visited by any member of her court, only allowing Captain Medora to view her. The lioness was confused about Ava's anxiety, the Court of Blood never judging another on their appearance but on their ability. Her calm response cooled some of Ava's worry, but she was still unsure about how the cub would be treated.
Ava's other cub died a few days after birth of an unknown cause. Ava was saddened by the loss, and the little lioness was buried in The Court of Night's gardens. Afterwards, she became more confident of her standing in the Court and therefore her child's place as well. She introduced her to lions of higher ranks, and was surprised when they instantly embraced her.
The other lions of the Court of Night were stunned by the cub's unique appearance, complimenting her and Ava and showing her the same love any other cub of the court would receive. Ava was relieved, Medora happy to be able to say "I told you so" when she learned of the event.
Tyranny would be at home in The Court of Night, free of any judgement due to her strange mutation and possibly raising higher in the ranks because of it. The little cub continued being a gem in her mother's eyes.
