I remember that no long ago a player asked in chat what were the effects of lionesses' personalities, besides the nurturing one, and that a staff member replied that none, for the moment, but that it was already planned to change. I've searched and found no other suggestion that focused solely on this, so here we go:

Female's Personalities Overhaul!

Right now, we have about 50 different personalities for females, 10 per karma group, and only one of those - Nurturing - has a notable effect within our prides beyond the mood boost and penalties that all karma groups share. This is a lot of effects to make, so I thought that we could begin suggesting 9 to complement the "taking care of an extra cub as a broodmother" one, and see where they fit within all the karma groups as a personality. Or that could stay exclusive to the good girls, like some male personalities? Or maybe add a counterpart to the evil side?

Perhaps we could have some lionesses have a chance of bringing something "extra" from their hunts, like the Stingy or the Gracious ones? Have some that help with the general mood of the pride, like the Joyful, Upbeat or Humorous personalities? Maybe some that can boost our PvP or PvE chances, like the Loud and Brutal ones? What would you want your ladies to be able to do?

Possible Personalities' effects:

Interaction Effects

• A small chance of regaining 5% of energy once per Rollover and lioness when interacting with certain personalities (Cuddly, Gentle/Calm, Laidback, Lazy, Grumpy/Secretive?).


• A small chance of getting 1-5 SB upon interaction with certain lionesses.


• The chance of getting a special decor (Patient Expression) when you interact with certain lionesses (Emotional, Needy).


• A small chance of gaining 1-3% of impression level upon interacting with certain lionesses (Proud, Vain)/A small chance of gaining certain "messy" decors upon interacting.


• A chance of being gifted small trinkets - single use bones, feathers - upon interacting with certain lionesses (Distant?).


• Exclusive to Awkward lionesses: a chance of being gifted your least favorite food upon interacting.


• A small chance of the lioness gaining 10-25 EXP points upon interaction with the lioness in question.


• A small chance of the lioness gaining 1-3 random stats when interacting with the lioness in question.

The Feed all, Play all feature would have 0% chance of any of the interaction effects taking place: this is not a penalty, but a warning. For the interactions' effects to take place, you have to actually interact with the lionesses.

Special Effects

• Protect 6 cubs as a Broodmother (This is already in-game)


• Aid in a PvE battle once per day. This could work as Laharu did, and have her attack after every attack of our own. Intrepid


• Exclusive to Romantic ladies and an Evil personality (Sinister?): Be able to mate with them once per Rollover without any energy cost/Enable the mating to another lioness without energy cost once per Rollover.|Auto-claim a lioness in explore once per RO thanks to her matchmaking/conniving ways. It's been pointed out that the auto-claim effect has the potential of being abused, so a way to limit it or a whole new effect would be welcome!


• *Exclusive to a Good personality (Trusting?): Escort a pride member to the Natural Reserve once per Rollover; the lioness would get a small mood boost, gain 1-3 stats at random/give you +5 karma while she loses a hunt. This would take effect when you click on the "Send to Nature Reserve" option at the bottom of an unsecured lion page, and the flavor text could be: "You decide to take [LION'S NAME] to the Nature Reserve, but [TRUSTING LIONESS] volunteers to do it for you. She missed a hunt, and you gained [REWARD]."


• *Exclusive to a Bad personality (Brutal?): Kill a pride member once per Rollover; the lioness would get a small mood boost/satiate hunger/add a carcass to the hoard/gain 1-3 stats at random/give you -5 karma while she loses a hunt. This would take effect when you click on the "Kill" option at the bottom of an unsecured lion page, and the flavor text could be: "You approach [LION'S NAME] with murderous intent, but [BRUTAL LIONESS] steps in and demands to do it, and you let her. She missed a hunt, and you gained [REWARD]."


• Bring a small carcass once per Rollover when requested – this would make a brand new button a necessity/Have a small chance of bringing a critter carcass back with the usual hunting carcasses – the lioness would need to be part of that hunt.


• Exclusive to Cold Lionesses: Don't loose any mood when taking a cub from their care.


• Being able to cut the hunting time by half once per Rollover (the lioness must take part on the hunt).


• Exclusive to Graceful and Harsh lionesses: A second chance per Rollover to train a single cub that has failed their training that Rollover.

*Those two are counterparts, and the idea is for only one of those effects to be possible, but the hunt cost is a must; which effect do you prefer? Karma? Mood for the lioness? Stat gain? Other?

Given that these effects could be taken advantage of with larger prides, a good way to prevent a possible abuse would be establishing a system similar to the stud slots: every week an account has a given amount of effect slots, and every time one of these is purposely used it'd take a slot away, until there are no more left or the counter refills the following week.

Automatic Effects

• Raise pride members’ moods 2-4% every Rollover. This would take effect only within compatible karma groups: Kind and Good, and Snarky and Evil. Neutral is, well, neutral, so it'd only work within other neutral lions. The personalities that could have this effect could be Joyful, Upbeat, Humorous, Sassy and Mischievous.


• Prevent a single pride member from leaving if they do so from a low mood, randomly (Warm lionesses or similar?).It's been pointed out that this effect has the potential of being abused, so a way to limit it or a whole new one would be welcome!


• Exclusive to Rebellious personality: Lose only a 5% of mood upon Rollover, regardless of the king's personality.


• Exclusive to Stingy and Prudent lionesses: they lose 5-10% less hunger per RO due to their "private stash".

Edit: I erased the whole personalities lists, for convenience purposes, given that the post was getting very long. I'll repost them once each one has been given a possible effect, preferably on a fancy table.
