Hello!
I have two lions that I need back stories for. Could I do them myself? Yes. Could I host a competition instead out of sheer laziness? Also yes.

Guess which option I'm going with!

Here are the rules, the backstory for each lion has to fit their given personality, no changing gender or name, be respectful and have fun!

The reward? For the two winning backstories (there are two lions), the creator of those stories will receive a random applicator from my hoard. And I genuinely mean random, like I'm going to use a number generator and count backwards through my hoard to pick it.

Which lions you might ask? Well the two in this den: https://www.lioden.com/cave.php?id=159523

I'm also looking for clean, pretty lions to add to this den! Make sure you say how much you want for them, I don't want to play a guessing game over price XD

Thank you all in advance!

This journal is marked as an art contest, because I think that fits better than simply contest! After all, story's to me are an art form! If this is wrong and needs to find a new board, Admin please let me know!

Fool's Gold:
Born to the nobility, Fool's Gold isn't even his actual name. Probably something along the lines of Theodore or Smith. He was raised with a kind mother who taught him to love even the small things and to give second chances. Though this soft childhood leaves him open to being taken advantage of. He can't tell when others have his best interest in mind. This leads to when his father was killed by a trespasser being kicked out. A group of lionesses takes in the smaller male after he shows kindness to one of their cubs. The current king is to die soon so Fool's Gold will be taking over for him. He's anxious about it be a young lioness named Dawn has been helping him out.

Embers of Dawn:
Or just Dawn was raised in a smaller pride with a serious, powerful king. She deals with low self-esteem and anxiety, not seeing herself as good as she should. When out patroling with a cub for proper hunting grounds the cub gets snatched by a hyena though Fool's Gold saves the cub. Dawn finds him rather brave and brings him back to the pride. The two work together to help one another (honestly being best friends until recently)


this is a wip and may change over time, idk. You may NOT use my entry for inspiration for your own entry. You will be blocked. (I spend time on this stuff and would rather not have ppl steal it) if the host wishes to use it they may, and may alter how they wish.

I hope this is good enough! :]

Embers Of Dawn
~-----~
Embers of Dawn was a young cub born into the pride by a neighboring king. However, unlike some of the other cubs, she bore a coat with a distinct marking. This marking was a rare find, and she was immediately cherished among the brood mothers. However, her mother was whisked away one morning, choosing to live with the stars. At first she resented her mother for leaving her, how could she! But as the months passed and she matured, her thoughts and emotions changed. She mourned her mother, and later moved on. Now, with a rare coat such as hers, it was often that other lionesses and even kings of nearby prides would fawn over her, but she didn't let it get to her head, nor did it let her affect the way she treated those around her. If she felt one of her fellow lionesses were being overshadowed, she would see to it that this be fixed. Eventually, she had reached adulthood and her king had decided to sell her away to a new heir. Despite this change, she held her head high and wished her old pride the best as she and her new king set out to give him a pride he could be proud of.

Fool's Gold
~-----~
When Fool's Gold was first born, his pride and king had thrown him aside with ease. His mother, being the rarity she is as a leopon, was held above him and considered a sign of wealth in the pride. She was fine with the attention, however she hated how they had discarded her son so easily. So while he was often avoided and left out of the games other cubs would play, his mother showered him with plenty of attention and hugs for his cub-hood to be considered sweet. As he grew older, the pride couldn't continue ignoring him, and he was at an age where he couldn't be coddled by his mother anymore. Eventually, the king bribed him away with enough funds for him to potentially start his own pride and then some. It was roughly around the same time that he had found a king who was interested in selling one of his lionesses. He had decided to step in and buy her, and the two set off to create a new pride. He holds no ill will towards his old pride, nor does he want to go back.

Fool’s Gold:
Whether by chance or divine intervention, near every generation before Fool’s Gold produced half-leopard, half-lion hybrids. An oddity in a line of oddities, his pride mates were cold, to put it kindly. When his father eventually lost to his final challenger for leadership, Fool’s Gold found himself an outcast, chased from his home and family and left to fend for himself. In part because of his mother’s example, Fool’s Gold never held resentment in his heart.
For some time, he simply wandered alone, searching for something he couldn’t quite name, until one day, he met a stranger. A primal loner, tangled in a time he did not belong to.



Embers of Dawn :
(I went through her family tree and saw that her mother no longer exists, and her father has fire themed décor/background.)

Born after tragedy, her pride was destroyed by wildfires during a terrible drought. Her mother survived only long enough to deliver her first and only litter, huddled in the blistering heat between rock and flame. Embers of Dawn survived entirely because of luck. A wandering rogue stumbled upon the mewling ball of fur, blindly crawling through the ash and embers that, in a more fortunate world, would have been her first home. He took the cub as his own and named her for the morning sun that allowed him to find her after such tragedy.
Embers of Dawn grew into a fine lioness, the pride and joy of her father and his humble territory. When he one day brought home a young lion, cast out of his pride, she was enchanted immediately.

FOOL'S GOLD

fool's gold, or, gold at the time, was born into a safe yet strict family. gold wasn't allowed to explore or have alot of fun due to his mother's cautious nature. his rosettes were quite rare and he was cherished for them. fool's gold grew to resent his lifestyle, pushing others away and breaking the strict code he had to carry for so long. it was until one day, when fool's gold came across an evil entity. the entity promised power, and manipulated younger fool's gold. he was used as a puppet until he himself discovered how wrong things were. he entered a fateful battle with the entity.. but nobody won. he absorbed the entity and gained a new form.. one with chilling black eyes and aura. luckily, fool's gold grew from his grave mistake and redeemed himself.. growing into the forgiving lion he is now.


EMBERS OF DAWN

embers of dawn has always been a gorgeous lion, even if she too rejected the idea. born the youngest in her family, she was received special care. she never enjoyed the extra attention, and loved her freedom to get away. during one of her walks, her father found the most powerful male lions, wanting her to chose one as a lover. this disgusted embers of dawn and she ran away, enraging her father. he sent out lions to find her,, but the attempt failed. ember's of dawn matured and learned how to survive in the wild.. becoming a wildly talented hunter and fighter. it wasn't just her skills that matured, but so did her personality. embers of dawn became more modest apon all things, making her grow into a sturdy and powerful lioness.

Giving my go.. (I have tons of cubs and lions in my den, so pm me if you wanna see the pretty ones!)

Fool's Gold:

A noble male, perhaps not the favored of his siblings within his noble bloodline, his mother being a leopon, and when he was born to the world, his father was deceased. His life as a cub wasn't too special, he played, had friends, while it wasn't his siblings he still saw others as family. He grew training with his mother, becoming stronger by the days. And soon he had reached adulthood.. Seeing he was the only male now in the pride fit for the role, he would take place as king. He was granted, not as special as most hoped, but quickly that idea was overshadowed as he would become one of the greatest kings. His coat resembled that of a leopard, making him stealthy, easy to stalk and pounce. Gold, as many would nickname, was quite forgiving, and most mistakes that could of been made were made up for. Within time, armor adorned him, and that is what would of been the mark of his first true milestone. Exploring the jungles one fateful evening, he had met the most beautiful lioness he'd ever seen. Soon claiming her, and walking home, laughter through the night. He crowned her his queen, and they would raise their pride happy with the choices in life they had made to get here.

Ember's of Dawn:

Quite easily a beautiful lioness, she was never seen as much in general. Being another lioness in the pride..Her mother being quite more than normal, and her father being a ferus. While she didn't come out to be the beast her father was, she was most definitely beautiful. And with her beauty came many opportunities, always plump, and was set to help produce strong beautiful cubs, the title she was given was sure shown as she was adorned in silks and decorated with beautiful strings of flowers. Dawn, herself didn't want this, not to be used as a pawn and fodder. And one fateful evening, she ran, escaped; Running so far her paws began to ache, afraid to stop, she would eventually lay herself down exhausted. A lion adorned in armor, with a coat of a leopard. Slowly coming forward, he would win her over..And she would walk home, with her new king, laughing through the night. She was crowned his queen, and they would raise their pride happy with the choices in life they had made to get here.
