Cast of Characters:
-The Leader -
King Chikondi - The harsh and unforgiving ruler of Katonda Pride who started out as a warrior king and slowly began to decline into madness. His reign has been a hard one for all of the pride, breeding mistrust, hate, and discord. The one thing that keeps his subjects united is probably their fear of him.
-Would Be Queens-
Hella - Hella was King Chikondi's first wife from before he even became king. She was a fierce, powerful lioness, a worthy match for any king. But during the fighting and chaos that reigned during Chikondi's takeover she disappeared and was presumed to be dead, killed by his enemies. Some say he truly loved her, and that her death pushed him further in the madness that had marked his father before him.
Airi - The king's first spouse after his takeover, a foreign lioness whose beauty and sweet temper won over some of the pride's nobility but didn't save her from the king's wrath and jealousy or allow her to be queen. Mother of Nadir, Nthanda, and Khalida. Secretly possessed elemental powers. They say something about her eased Chikondi's anger over losing his first wife, Hella.
Cassia - A lioness whom the king supposedly fell for as his relationship with Airi began to decline. He had no desire to make her queen or even consort so instead took in their son Noctus to raise but never reconnected with Cassia herself. The lioness does not appear to care that she will never be a queen, perhaps having never had such an ambition to begin with. It is unknown where she resides now.
Hera (Belonging to firedancer77) - A queen without a kingdom, Chikondi had true interest in this lioness, but when he found out she was a disgraced queen he knew that he could not name her his queen so offered her a place in his kingdom with no promises of her being anything more than a consort at best. She refused and they parted ways, but some time later he found out they had two daughters and ended up taking in Circe, raising her as a princess.
Sangria (Belonging to Echoire) - The lioness that the king marries later in his reign and makes his first and only official queen. She is with the pride just long enough to bear three cubs but leaves the pride and her cubs when the king is overthrown.

-The Heirs -
Crown Prince Nadir - The king's eldest son and presumed heir, he has troubles in his marriage and love life that become public and he is often tired of the pressures involved with being a prince and future king.
Princess/Queen Nthanda - The king's favored daughter, married to a foreign king so that their pride might benefit from the alliance born of the marriage. She has learned the art of keeping secrets and being guarded well after living as a princess in her father's kingdom.
Princess Khalida - The king's 'disgraced' daughter, born with wings in a pride where no such phenomenon had been seen before, her father used her unusual appearance as a way to cast disfavor upon her mother and keep her from being treated as a true princess. But he will regret casting her aside and underestimating her.
(Prince) Noctus - Noctus joined the cub as a 'foundling' but from the beginning his true parentage was suspected due to his resemblance to the king's family, and when some were bold enough to state their observations the king did not deny it. So Noctus lives in an awkward state of in-between, not truly treated like a prince, but given the title out of formality. His father has made it clear he has no claim to the throne, but will he accept that? Or does he have bigger plans?
Princess Circe - The daughter of King Chikondi and Hera, she was taken in by her father when she was young. Perhaps because he favored her mother despite her disgrace, the king was not especially kind to Circe but did make sure she had the privileges any princess should. But when she defies his wishes and has cubs with a lion he has not met, let alone approved of as a potential husband, she finds herself removed from any hope of ever getting close to the throne.
(Princess) Eris (Belonging to Firedancer77) - The other daughter of the king and Hera, Chikondi never made much effort to go see her, but Circe has often tried to reconnect with her sister. She will never have a claim to Chikondi's throne but would be formally recognized as a princess of the pride nonetheless.
Prince Aniket - No one really expected King Chikondi to finally have a queen, but he did and Aniket and his siblings were the first and only cubs they had. For a long time everyone had recognized the king's eldest and only legitimate son Nadir as the heir to the throne, but some wondered if young Aniket or his siblings might have more claim to it as their mother was queen while Nadir's mother was barely a consort?
Princess Sarai - The only daughter of King Chikondi and Queen Sangria, being a princess is isn't likely she would achieve the throne before either of her brothers, but might her mother's position bring her more favor in the eyes of King Chikondi who has previously favored his daughters Nthanda and Circe above the rest?
Prince Gül (Belongs to Echoire) - The only other son of Chikondi and Sangria, some speculated as to whether he might become an heir to the throne above his older more established brother Nadir, but he left the pride young to find his mother so was assumed to be removed from the line of succession.
Aurea - Chikondi brought Aurea to the pride as a cub, saying he had made a promise to a relative to watch after her cub should anything happen to her. Aurea is somehow related to Chikondi, a niece, or cousin...It was never made clear and no one questioned him. She is a lady and really has no claim to the throne, but if the true heirs were to give it up or all die/disappear before the time came she might have some claim to it as Chikondi's only known relative outside of his offspring.

-The Heirs' Families -
Princess Nsia - Nadir's bride, married to him out of political necessity, he never wanted the marriage to occur but went through with it out of duty and obligation. Later on her betrayed her when he fell in love with another lioness and the matter was much spoken of in the pride. Hurt and angry Nsia closed herself off from her husband and extracted a promise from him that ensured that she and her cubs would live a good life even if he was never able to (or unwilling to try to) love her.
Ravi - Despite not being an actual relative, Nthanda's personal guard has been her close friend and confidant since she was young. She has always protected him in any way she could and brought him with her when she married. He is also close to some of her cubs and has raised his own adopted daughter with some help from Nthanda.
Champion Princess Celestia - Nthanda's eldest daughter, she has only met her grandfather here and there and is preoccupied with making a life for herself, not all that interested in being royalty or the politics involved.
Champion Prince Dumisani (Dumi) - One of Nthanda's older sons, Dumisani is perhaps the one who shows his care for his mother the most, always trying to protect her and make her happy. He is also somewhat close to Ravi and though his grandfather attempted to get to know him better he got the sense something was off with the older male and his own mother didn't encourage the relationship.
Champion Prince Alexander - Another of the elder cubs, Nthanda was heartbroken to find that her son was born blind and deaf but never loved him less or treated him poorly in comparison to his siblings. If anything she was perhaps fiercely protective of him.
Champion Prince Tendai - The last of her oldest litter, Nthanda expects that Tendai, if not Dumisani, may be the next king after their father and has done her best to be a good influence in his life so if that does come to pass he will be the best king he can be. But she is careful not to pressure him, knowing all too well what damage that can do.
Champion Prince Rowan - From her second litter, Rowan was always an adventurer, much like his older sister Celestia, and at times can push the rules a little, but he has a good heart. He enjoys trying to perfect his fighting skills.
Champion Prince Silvanus - Rowan's littermate, Silvanus is perhaps the one of the cubs that tends to remind Nthanda most of their father. Perhaps because of his carrying more of his father's coloring?
Champion Princess Athena - One of Nthanda's youngest daughters, Athena is a scholarly lioness who is always looking for knowledge and enjoys hearing Nthanda's stories of magic and other lands despite not believing most of it. She has no desire to be a rule one day, and no desire to marry either really. She just wants to learn all she can.
Champion Princess Davina - Nthanda's other younger daughter, she named Davina for Divine, the older princess who helped her in adjusting to the new pride when she first married and was good to her in the years that followed as well.
Selene - Though Selene is not her daughter, with Ravi having a job to do his adopted daughter Selene needed some extra care and Nthanda was happy to have her around and did all she could to assure the young lioness had a good education. The two have a very good relationship and Selene regards her like she would her own mother really.
Fitzroy (Owned by MySpoons) - The half brother of Nthanda's cubs, Celestia never wants to see him and hates what he reminds her of while her younger sister Athena is curious of her half brother. They've not met him so far but his existence is impossible to forget and his half siblings seem to have varying thoughts and opinions about him.
As for Nthanda, she wouldn't treat him unkindly as he is not deserving of her anger or coldness.
