~*~*Personality*~*~
Rowdy I Impulsive I Loud I Energetic I Playful I Bossy I Adventurous I Kind I Confident I Loyal I Hopeful I Eager I Lighthearted
Ayala is one strong and independent cub. She has a powerful and confident stride, holding her head up high much like that of her father. However, accompanying these traits also comes her very loud voice and her utter lack of a filter which has a knack for getting her into trouble. Usually the trouble follows after Ayala asked questions, ones that no dignified or wise lion would ask. This barrage of peculiar questions only furthers her reputation for causing trouble, many a lion finding her intrusive pandering both rude and inappropriate. However, despite common thought and opinion on the matter, it does not quell her curiosity or desire to inquire even more.
One of her other most prevalent traits is her passion for Adventure. She loves and lives for it, looking for the next opportunity to see different places and people. Quite often she'll even convince her siblings to join her in one of her many escapades beyond the den. However, much like her curiosity, her little excursions cause her and her siblings more of the same: trouble. Ayala attempts to take the blame more often then not for the trouble she has caused her siblings while out on her wild adventures, but usually their parents are less forgiving or accepting of blaming just one child for the sake of the whole. Ayala is not usually a fan of this outcome, her call to take the consequences alone to preserve the happiness and relations with her siblings is commendable and shows a great testament to her future, she still has much to grow and learn.
Ayala has an overall tendency to get carried away when it comes to her expenditure of energy and where that energy gets focused into. The first victim is her voice volume which bounces from normal to excessive within a few sentences. It tends to push others away due to the sheer force and energy behind it, but that hardly phases Ayala. She just gets carried away, lost in the moment and the enjoyment she pulls from the activity at hand or the people around her. Especially passionate when speaking on a subject close to her heart or interest. Once she starts in a particular sentiment there truly is no stopping her. The energy bouncing within is more than enough to fuel her words with fiery passion for hours on end without a care in the world. Only until someone reminds her of how loud she's being will she simmer down, otherwise the conversation will live on.
On the other end of the spectrum, Ayala has a very lighthearted attitude, never taking things seriously when an offense is thrown her way. But in contrast, when the time requires a more serious mind, Ayala does not quite live up to the challenge. Her lack of understanding for when to be lighthearted and when to be serious has caused many challenges and caused a lot of strife. She simply tries too hard to focus on being positive that she overlooks the bad things in life that truly require her attention. Ayala is almost selectively oblivious to all of the bad and hyper focuses her efforts to the brighter picture even if that is some imaginary world inside her mind. In hindsight this lack of acknowledgement to the harder parts in life has made her one of the happiest lions you will ever meet. Her days only clouded when playing games without wings and being scolded by those older than her little self.
Sass, sarcasm, and dry humor are all things Ayala will present on occasion. Though she very rarely uses them to be mean, she fails to always recognize when or where to properly use these tools and when to store them away for a later time. Typically she can realize if she comes across as rude and will promptly apologize the second she becomes aware of her mistake. However there are cases where she is blissfully oblivious to the hurt feelings she has caused to others. Finding out later she has caused damage to another is heartbreaking. Ayala truly does care about the wellbeing of those around her and does not wish to hurt anyone, but it is something that she must face as she moves forward, until she can grasp social cues and apply them properly.
As an Adult
Over time Ayala will likely mellow out, even if just a little. Her energetic demeanor will settle as well, though will always be rooted firmly in her personality. She will learn much as she ages, listening to social cues, respecting others and becoming aware of her tone and other's feelings towards her. Ayala will not as excessively come across rude or blunt because of what she has learned though she still won't have everything 100% figured out.
It is difficult to say where Ayala will end up when she grows. Knowing how strong her curiosity is and her deep rooted desire to see the rest of the world, Ayala will struggle with her pull towards family as well. Her love for them and desire to remain beside them will only make the decision harder for Ayala. A pull between Freedom and Family. At the end of the day what she will decide to do is uncertain, all that she knows for certain is that not matter what she will always love her family.
Elemental Abilities
A lion with the gift of poison can: Infect others, create mass diseases that can plague an enemy over time; can also take away any sickness.
Poison Abilities
Injection: Ayala focuses her poison into her canines and injects it into an enemy when she bites down. Depending on the venom's potency depends on how much energy she uses.
Cure: Though it requires a lot of concentration, Ayala can help cure any disease or poison by touching an effected lion.
Spray: Ayala can focus her poison ability into a liquid form she can use to spit at enemies causing temporary blindness, birning sensation, as well as coughing and shortness of breath.
A lion with the gift of psychic can: Predict small things in the future, tell whether a lion will live or die by touch.
Psychic Abilities
Prediction: Though she has yet to master this ability Ayala can look briefly into the future to help her avoid attacks and create a better outcome for herself as well as others. (She will often use this ability while playing with her siblings.)
Touch: Ayala can tell the fate of a lion by a single touch, and most of the time she can be very accurate with it. Things like whether a lion will live, die, as well as other lighter outcomes.
Track: Though Ayala struggles greatly with this ability and requires a lot of energy Ayala can often times use her psychic ability to reach out and find a specific lion or object without being near it. She is still learning this and it isn't always 100% accurate but she can guess general areas.
Feeling Towards the War
The second Ayala walked into the pride her breath was taken away. There were so many different lions of all different shapes, sizes, ages, and elements. She was completely blown away and immediately fell in love with the idea of the pride as well as what they stood for. She tries not to show it though due to a fear of her father's disapproval or different belief. Ayala truly believes that the pride has a fighting chance to win, and believes their fight is a worthy one in order to take down Arknon and his undead lion army. The thought of the rebels winning lights a fire in her heart as she views them as nothing more then vengeful violent savages, though being a cub all she can do for now is hope that her grandparents choose to send the pride reinforcements to end the war and bring it to a conclusion.
Relations
Though Ayala is the black sheep of the family she is extremely loyal and close to her immediate family even though she may act otherwise from time to time. She wouldn't think twice about taking a hit for any of her family members and wants nothing more than to be loved and accepted among her siblings and family.
Father: Haldir (if won by starry)
Ayala and her father Haldir don't seem to get along well at first glance. Her rebellious personality conflics with his more proper and rule abiding one but her father means the world to her. She cares greatly for him as well as his opinions and sees him as almost a role model to her and what she can become. Though she knows her adventures and what not can get her in trouble with him, she still knows the love between them won't change, no matter what situation she gets herself in he will be there.
Mother: Eowyn (if won by rohan)
Eowyn is the only reason that Ayala stayes out of as much trouble as she does. The two will wrestle and play for hours on end helping to drain her energy. You can tell Ayala loves her mother dearly and it is obvious she tends to follow more of her ideology than Haldir's. Ayala wishes she could soar the skies with her mother and siblings but Eowyn has helped her feel like she can even without wings and helped her accept that being grounded isn't a bad thing.
Brother: Adaoin (if won by pety)
Ayala admires how much effort her brother Éadaoin puts into just about anything. The two get along very well, and though he isn't as loud as Aya, the two can talk for hours on end. And by the two talking, I mean Éadaoin sits patiently listening while Ayala talks his ears off. Overall they have a very strong bond and Ayala wouldn't hessitate to take a hit for him.
Bother: Othin (if won by Sunbear)
Ayala would consider Othin to possibly be her favorite sibling. The two have very similar personalies and just about equal amounts of energy. The two are playing and wresting 24/7. Of all her siblings Othin is the first one she goes to if she wants to go on an adventure around the Oasis. The only time the two have issue is when it comes to rule breaking. Ayala is always trying to pressure Othin to go places they shouldn't, though she never really gets to him even when she offers to take all the blame should they get in trouble.
Sister: Enid (if won by willow)
Enid is Ayala's voice of reason among all of her siblings. The two are very different than one another, with Ayala pushing Enid away with her loud personality and rule breaking habits, but they still get along rather well. Both have a curious mind and want to explore and so they can be seen going on adventures together quite often along with their other siblings. Though Ayala can see her sister Enid as a party pooper she still has a strong love and respect for her.
