Kaedehara Aki 🍁

As her name suggests, her favorite season is autumn. She came to the pride one day along with maple leaves and wind. She’s Albedo’s third queen and settles arguments in the pride while him and his first queen annoy Petrichor.

Backstory:
Kaedehara Aki was the peace maker.

While all her fellow pride mates were traveling the world, blowing through places like the winds, ever forward towards an unknown goal, she was moving forward in a different way.

It started when she was a cub, settling fights between the younger ones when they settled down for the night, and they couldn’t decide who would be allowed to play with the newest toy and for how long. And each day, as they walked, she would make up scenarios in her head and solve them, just to keep herself entertained when traveling became a chore more than a way of life.

With each new place they stopped in she became more skilled, more talented in her craft. Her arguments became as fierce as the strongest of gales, and her words cut through the conversation like the gusts that swept over the open plains they had left in their wake.

Soon enough, she was not the only one aware of her verbal prowess, as her father soon began to take notice.

The winds may have guided her pride across plains and through forests, but her father lead them through dry season, and through hardships. He lead the pride in fights against those who would attack them, and into alliances with prides who they hoped to see again.

Oleander was a fierce king, strong as wind cutting through canyons. His paws could crush lions skulls beneath him and his blows were more than capable of breaking bones. But despite his capability for violence, Oleander saw the wisdom in having someone to bring the peace.

And so, soon enough Aki was following in her fathers footsteps, standing by his side when he met with other prides to see if their group couldn’t stay the night, or to scout ahead with the older lion to make sure the winds were not guiding them near danger.

The winds pushed the pride ever forward, and so did Aki, one step at a time, bringing them closer and closer to an unknown destination.
