How does their apperance affect their life?
He was an odd kit at birth, strange and outlandish to the others in the nursery. His mother had named him with a kind passion, naming him directly after his appearance, Crow. She pulled him close and promised to love him dearly.

Stumbling into the den one of the elders took one look at him and wheezed out a prophecy truer than truth itself.

"Death comes walking on crow's paws"

He hadn't heard the name chosen for the cub, he couldn't have when the decision of what name Crow would have was simply a decision in the mind. The prophecy was set regardless, a curse hanging overhead. The rest of the nursery had heard the prophecy and soon the whole pride had heard the words of the elder and feared the cub.

He had done nothing but breathe air and cry, so young he hadn't the thought to know the trouble that brewed for him.

His mother had none of it fighting for her son's right to be a normal member of the pride, defending her choice of name no matter how much the pride cried in backlash.

"It makes sense," said a member of the pride, "crows always show up at carcasses, they always are around when death is happening, 'course a lion who looks like one of them shares their curse."

It was all just superstition.

Or atleast it had been.

One day Crow gazed upon his mother, who he loved dearly and with a forced smile and a few tears embraced her.

"Goodbye mother."

Not moments later his mother seized and collapsed to the ground.

The pride was filled with horror to see that just as the prophecy foretold, Crow had brought about death. There was a shocked arise of hisses and fear, the members of the pride too scared to even approach his mother to see if she was okay.

They couldn't know that through Crow's eyes he had seen the time his mother had left on the earth run out, they couldn't have known this child was born with the uncanny ability to foresee deaths embrace. All they could know was fear.

They cast him out into the night, to mourn his mother's loss on his own, too blinded by his crow's pelt to see him as a child just as scared as they were...

... He hated his crow's pelt. [395]
