Background (Optional, but it gives you a better shot)

'Gerry, do you think they'll all be ok? I am worried about having so many, I can't believe I am having 4 pups. I have never known anyone to have more than 3!' Avianna Galo said to her mate, Gieriario.
'I am sure they will all be fine. I am going to have to leave now, you know males are not allowed to watch the birth.'
He left the birthing burrow, leaving his mate alone with the small pack's nurse, going out into the snow.

He was worried. As the leading pair of the pack, however small it may be with it's 15 members, they needed a pup to take over when they were old. He thought of the members of the pack - him, his wife Avianna, the nurse smili Sariann, the nanny Isis, the 3 triplet warriors Georgie, Friory and Hamari, the other hunters and mates, Yvonne and Quill, and Kimmy and Royisi, and their 4 pups, Emily, Rizzo, Wesidity and Tamara. The new pups would hopefully bring the pack numbers up to 19, if they all survived.

While thinking, he had climbed the nearby cliff easily, and sat there looking at the dawn sunrise. Suddenly, from below, he heard a cry. It was Avianna! She must be having the pups! He rushed back down the cliff and stood outside the burrow, listening for more sounds. He heard the cry of a pup - it sounded like a healthy male, but he couldn't be sure. Wait, he thought. What about the other three cubs? He called into the cave 'Can I come in now?' The nurse, Sariann, said softly 'yes'. She sounded sad, he thought. Something must have gone wrong! He hesitantly went into the burrow.

'Oh Gerry!' Avianna sobbed. 'They are all dead, except for one. There was not enough space in my womb for all of them, and this one barely survived, he was so weak.'
Gieriario was shocked, and sad, but he tried not to show it. 'Don't worry, at least we have him. What should we call him? Or would you rather wait until his markings show?'
Avianna knew he was trying to destract her, but before answering, she said 'lets take him outside.'

Gerry quietly asked Sariann if she could remove the stillborns. The female Smili nodded, empathising with them - she was infertile, whenever she tried to have a baby, it was repeatedly stillborn. After a while, she had just given up, and resolved to help other Smilis have their little son or daughter.

When they got outside, they examined their new son. He was pale coloured, with no visible markings. He had bright, ice blue eyes, that were examining everything around them.

'Ryaniarno.' Avianna said. 'Pardon?' asked her mate. 'Ryaniarno Gieriario Avianna Galo. Ryan for short, meaning 'Young Royalty' . That will be his name.'
The young Ryan looked up at his mother, already beginning to get used to this bright, cold world.

13 Years Later
The now mature Smili Ryan has taken over the pack, along with his mate, a cub born the year after him - a beautiful female called Venus. He has no natural markings, but has had tribal markings painted on his pale lion-like fur. He has become strong, and is an accomplished climber, and a brilliant leader for the pack. He has one large weekness though - when a young cub, he fell off a cliff, so if he does large amounts of climbing, or twists his right back leg in some way, he can be barely able to walk for a few days.

'Venus?' Ryan called.

'Yes my love?' replied his mate, Venus, an almost completely black smili, except for a white face mask, and white speckle markings on her two front legs.

Still editing, just posting this so I don't lose it.

((thanks for the tips Spotty, I edited - please tell me if I missed something ))

Rachy, I'd just like to mention that smili are born colourless. They don't get the colours of their parents, the colouration is dependent on the temperature, humidity and amount of light the young smili is exposed to during it's first weeks.
And tha markings on nr 8 really is painted on, because it is missing all natural markings. Without the paint it's coloured like a lion.

[~Rachy~]

Oops, sorry - I will edit it Thanks for telling me, I must have missed it on the Smili thread.

EDIT: So, if it grows up somewhere cold, with a lot of light, it will be the colour it is now?
