Caladia is a dragon lioness who was born into the same pride as Micail. She is a half-breed, with her mother also being a dragon and her father a nomadic lion. Such births are rare, because when one of the parents is a common lion, the vast majority of the cubs will be the same. This was not the case with Caladia, who was immediately aware that she belonged to the same type as her mother.
The patriarch of the pride was tolerant of such things, having lived a long time and had several descendants. As a result, Caladia and her sister (a common lioness) had the same childhood as other cubs in the pride, such as Micail. Caladia is a few months older than him, and a strong bond of friendship has formed between the two since very early on.
Caladia had always wanted to see new places, so a few months after seeing her friend leave, she did the same. Accompanied by her winged companion, she explored different places and got to know different environments, until one day a strange, familiar smell caught her attention. It was Micail. She followed the trail, and came across him and the two lionesses. Meeting her was a delightful surprise for Micail! The reunion was marked with joy and affection, in which she shared her adventures with him and the lionesses, and also heard about his journey and the story of the females. By the end of that afternoon, Caladia knew... She had to stay there. It didn't take long for a strong friendship to emerge between her, Bombom and Nell, and she began to help form the Golden Horizon pride.
Caladia is a good hunter, being particularly good at tracking, following tracks and scents until she reaches the prides. For many years, she was an active hunter in the pride, following Nell's lead. Today, like her friend, she dedicates herself more to teaching the teenage lionesses who are learning the art of hunting.
-> The pygmy dragon that accompanies Caladia is named Kieza! Her mother laid the dragon's egg next to Caladia when she had barely opened her eyes. They grew up together and are very close. Kieza is a female with many avian characteristics. She may seem a little aggressive, but inside she is very sweet.
If she were to follow custom, it would still be a few years before she retired and moved to the elders' cave, but she would not waste her dear friends' last years by staying away from them. So the day Bombom and Nell retired, she moved in with them, even though she was still active and participating in the hunts. Caládia knew she would see the two of them leave, while she still had more time ahead of her, but she was resigned to it. And precisely for that reason the draconic queen would take advantage of the time she had to continue in their company. Caládia would live longer than both of them, and Micail would live much longer than all of them. That is the fate of draconic lions who lived with normal lions, after all. Being a half-breed, the curse of a very long life would not fall upon her, she would just live a little longer than a normal lion. Which was fine by her.
