It looks like this youngster has gotten separated from her pride! She looks weary and bedraggled. Will you give her a place to stay on her way home?
Please return her to

Scirocco (#166009): Aikaterine was born in the Acropolis, a vast kingdom of lions on the rocky coast. A life by the sea might sound idyllc, but for a lion, it's far from easy: sheer cliffs, unpredictable tides and vicious ocean storms pose a constant threat. Cubs were raised in the mangrove swamps, safely away from the shore. As they grew older, it was their parents' responsibility to teach them the art of survival. Aikaterine's mother, Nephele, often took her and her sister to the rockpools, teaching them to paddle and catch fish. During one of these sessions, Aikaterine slipped on the wet rocks and plunged into the sea. She woke up on an unfamiliar beach, bitterly cold and far from home. She got up weakly and managed to drag her way into the woods, where she collapsed again. Exhausted and confused, she cried out for help, hoping to attract the attention of any nearby lions.

Timmi (#276787)- It had been a normal day, minus how dry it was. A lioness full of paranoia was hunting away from the others of her pride when she heard it. Cries of a cub. Despite how distrustful she was, she could never leave a cub. She rushed over to the noises to find a cub, dirty and alone. "Hello, little cub. Where is your pride?" the lioness asked. Aikaterine sniffled before replying, "I don't know, miss. I wish to find them though." "Well, my name is Lennon. I was hunting, but you may come with me on the way back. We've had lions come through our pride before so you'll likely be accepted," Lennon reassured. Aikaterine nodded and attempted to follow her. Noticing how weak the little cub was, Lennon picked her up by the scruff and padded off to the pride.
After a month or two of being in this pride, which was led by a harsh primal lion whose glare froze Aikaterine solid when she saw him, Aikaterine was speaking to another cub one day. The cub's name was Jace. Jace was a little younger than Aikaterine but was much harsher and more direct with her words. It wasn't surprising to Aikaterine to learn Jace was Lennon's daughter. "Listen, traveler, being as you met my mom first and we are close to the same age, our leader has decided that I should show you a parting gift..." Intrigued, Aikaterine followed behind the stalking Jace as they went into a secluded part of the pride. That's when she heard it. The shaking of trees and bushes, and then, the reflection of light. There he stood, a being that appeared to be a lion but had gold plating over him and wings swiftly revealed, showing his feathers. Aikaterine stood in awe. Her gaze only broke when she heard a whimper. Jace's fur stood up. "Th-that's the, um, Royal Sphinx! Yes! And our pride met him a while ago, um, and made a deal with him...! Yup! That's all I needed to tell you! Good luck, traveler Aikaterine!" Jace bolted immediately back towards the more busy areas of the pride. The sphinx let out a rumbling chuckle. "Come now, Aikaterine," he began. "I shall guide you towards your pride."
(Bree's Pride) #256313
(Personal note, she is a very cute cub! I added multiple decors, I know they aren't the best, but that's all I can afford right now.)
Aikaterine grew tired as she approached another baren land, her paws forming blisters from how long she had been walking (added scar on her back right leg). Her throat dried up from the dry desert. For she had not seen any water or adult lions for a few days. She lost track of the last time she had ate; her stomach growled. Yet, she sees a figure in the distance (https://www.lioden.com/lion.php?id=794161843702). She grew happy with the sight. She ran up to him and greeted him with a great smile!
His soft gaze hit her, as he went to smell her. "I am Driftscar, the future leader of Bree's land. You look hungry little one, why don't you come back with me?"
She nodded, returning to Bree's pride, where she was fed and had plenty of rest. When she was ready to leave, Driftscar gave her a parting gift, Isis Wings [Top], Cozy Waterhole, Yawning Dwarf Lioness, Fancy Mouse [Seal Siamese Astrex], and Shrikes in Thorns.
Scirocco (#166009): She began to notice a familiar scent on the wind: sea salt. Her heart leapt in excitement. Could it be...? Was she finally home? Slowly, the landscape shifted into mangrove forests, and rocky shores. The land began to slope uphill, and Aikaterine found herself running at full pelt. Suddenly, the ground dropped into an expansive rocky fold; the distant buzz of the Metropolis and the glitter of the sea.
"Aikaterine?" a familiar voice twisted through the wind. She looked down, and found herself staring into a face she'd begun to think she'd never seen again: Nephele.
Aikaterine rushed to her mother's side, sobbing, and the two reunited in a tangle of fur. Nephele was full of emotions: thrilled to have her daughter back, relieved that she was alive, stunned at how much she had grown. She was admittedly a little terrified to meet the Sphinx, but she warmed up to him after realising he had brought her daughter home.
These days, Aikaterine can be found happily wandering around the Agora, Sphinx in tow, and telling stories of her adventurers to curious youngsters. She is often spotted talking with Pirra by the rockpools, chatting about their adventures.
