[Breezeyheart]

Username: Breezeyheart.
Lion name: Khione
(The Greek goddess of snow, daughter of Boreas, god of the North Wind and Winter, and sister of Zethes and Calais. She is depicted as a goddess, although in some myths she is visualized as a snow nymph.)
Lion gender: Female.
Pride: Kingdom of Forgotten Stars.
(This girl would be my founder, so I will add it after/if I win the adopt/later)
Pride Status: Founder/leader.
Personality: She can come across as sarcastic and smug to strangers and tends to be competitive, especially if she gets dared to do something unusal. In actuality, there is more to her then what she may show at first; she is confident (too confident at times), adventurous, caring, loyal, protective and fearless. Due to her quick temper, she tends to disregard her own safety if she sees one of her friends or even a completely stranger in any sort of danger, especially if they are hurt or currently being attacked. She hates seeing anyone hurt and often tends to offer her help, even if that someone is being stubborn and is refusing to accept her help.

Username: sapphirespirit
Lion name:Jǫkull (ancient Scandinavian meaning ice/icicle/glacier)
Lion gender:male
Pride: Click
Pride Status:Royal Council Member
Personality: He's extremely Intelligent ,but a bit shifty and cautious.Fierce,though he can be a bit of a jokester. He is Very observant , he tends to be persuasive, all in all he's very strange and mysterious.

Wandering,roaming,lonely daze,
What darkness lurks in that ocean gaze?
Sneaking,slinking,Smirking Fluff,
He'll grin his teeth to show he's tough.
With shifty eyes, and cautious paw,
What lies have slipped his deadly maw?
Crystals kept with secrets withdrew,
This fellow's wise,watchful and wary,
He's Many the secret rendezvous-
Though careful-meeting results may vary!
He's cunning and charming and Clings to a Price-
And he knows how to get the things that entice.
He's sturdy and cruel- much like the ice of his home.
Light on his feet, and a quick study of tomes.
Mystery shrouds this odd addition,
But for his pride he fights under any condition.
He's light on his feet, and a bit of a quack- er, Quirk,
He is quite the acrobat- he may have been in the Cirque!

Art-gift to winner if not myself

There wasn't a sound, not a single one, between them. It was as if the world itself held its breath in anticipation; As if every thing living- or non-froze ,straining to hear, to see.
"H-How do you know about that?" squeaked a reply. Jǫkull's lips curled into a soft smirk,
his large tail dancing softly to and fro in a lazy fashion.
" Oh, I know all sorts of things. I've a rather large plethora of knowledge just floating about up there- it's a wonder I haven't drowned in it. " he paused to laugh briefly,raising himself from the dirt to slowly circle the other. The deafening silence eased from the other's ears, replaced now with the sounds of night amid the thundering of his own heart. The Thrum and Trill of the nocturnal insects returned. The trees and grasses rustled once more with the zephyr the world finally released.
" I make it my business to know everything.And thus, my question still stands. I'm not in the habit of handing out favors, you know... These things do have their price." He stood before the other, ears perked and smirking, his gaze steady. The other lion stood tense, his heart hammering still in his chest.
If this price is too steep, well the I believe our business to b-"
"No! No ,I'll pay it, I will just.. how do I know I can trust you?"
"Oh, I am the Keeper of Secrets, The Protector of Truth, and the Seeker of knowledge. I've quite a reputation to uphold,now don't I?" The other gave a grim nod and cautiously turned to leave. As he fretfully fled, Jǫkull collected himself on his haunches,tail flicking and head tilted in curiosity. The forest's light cast glimmering dapples on the beast and ground below. In a way, he looked almost graceful. If grace, that is, were utterly terrifying .

username: mid-life
lion name: imarisha
lion gender: female
pride: nafasi
pride status: soul classifier and royal advisor
overview:
imarisha is trusted highly by the current reigning king of nafasi, shetani for her vast knowledge on both nafasi and the mortal realm, making her the most qualified for her job as the soul classifier, a job which takes lots of careful judgment. a soul classifier sorts the souls of mortals based on whether or not the soul must atone for their sins in purgatory or be given to the realm of heaven or hell.
personality:
imarisha geeks out over learning new things, experimenting within nafasi (on the occasional off-days she gets) to continuously grow in her knowledge. her love for learning is not her only significant trait, she is also hardworking, working night and day to please the king and satisfy her own personal goals towards harnessing unlimited knowledge. imarisha is a bit spacey at times, and often gets lost in her own thoughts and plans for the future-- her brain is constantly at 100 miles per hour. she gets overly excited about her discoveries, often bouncing about when she discovers something huge.
history:
her love for learning comes from a long lineage of knowledgable lions and lionesses, many who began as a mortal in a small pride and later left to pursue learning in isolation. many of these lions wound up in heaven, having lead fulfilled lives, however, those who studied dark arts and dwelled among evil demons fell into the pit of suffering after their death.

"Let these words be etched in ice. Let these words be etched in stone," the uttered words passed from his mouth out into the cold air; he could see his breath with each spoken. There was no one around, he was speaking to the nothingness, but it was the retelling of his life's stories. He saying these words for himself. No one else.



"It's so cold outside. I'm alone. I'm alright. At least, I hope that I am. Alright. That place was not my home anymore. But then, I don't really understand myself anymore. I guess... I don't know who I am. But that's okay, isn't it? I am leaving that place. I want to find out. I will find out. I wont sit around and break down. I'd rather decide my fate. Take it into my own paws."


"It seems that wherever I go, the ice follows. I guess I really am... cursed. Why did I tangle myself up with her? I shouldn't have. I cannot help but to think it would have been better off if we had never even met. How was I supposed to know that she was the ice? I only took her life because she begged me to. It was out of mercy. How was I to know that... taking her life also meant taking her powers? I didn't want them, but she left me with them. Looking back now, I suppose that she was trying to escape. She never loved me. She never... loved me at all."


"How many days has it been now...? I have lost count. But the ice is still my companion. I think... I may be learning how to control it now. At least a little. But I discovered something new not that long ago. My tears... they aren't warm anymore. Not for long. They don't streak down my face and fur anymore. The moment they well up and spill from my eyes, they become... solid. Beautiful gems, seemingly made of ice, that never melt. I am tempted to call such a thing... eternal ice. I wonder... if I can replicate the phenomenon without having to shed my tears."


"It keeps crossing my mind. Why do I keep this gifted collar and tassels? I know she used me. I cannot deny it any more. You could not do this to someone that you loved. But I just can't bring myself to throw it away. Aside from these powers, this collar is the only connection I have left to her. She didn't even have a body that I could bury. She just... melted away. Like she had never existed at all. No traces of her remained."


"I heard of a strange valley. And a stranger place there, still. There were some stories. Some legends. Of those that are... immortals. Gods. Demons. There were many names for them, and different characters in the stories were all different things, even though... they were all together. Since I have only wandered with no where to go, it may very well be worth... following these stories. I cannot help but be curious now. Is there someone else... like me... out there? There has to be, right? Surely, she was not the only one with strange powers... There has to be others. Somewhere. Maybe I can get answers."


"They're all lions. I may... have found the place that I sought out. The Demon King. The God of Water. The one that defied death. The one that walks through shadows. She that calls the rain. The stories appear to be true. For now... I was invited to stay. Without questioning me, I was lead up the steps into their cavern shrine, and offered my own place to stay. Though they tell me that I am the only leopard around. Still, I was welcomed here. Among them. It is... strange. I left my old home. I was terrified of staying. After... after... what happened. So why... does this feel...alright? Really alright?"


"I cannot sleep tonight. So it seems. Nothing in particular is bothering me tonight. For once. I actually feel like... I may be at peace with myself. Well, no, maybe... I am afraid. Because I feel so comfortable here, I suppose... I am afraid of ruining it? Even when when nothing is bothering me, I find something to worry it. I wish my mind would... stop. I would like to sleep. I would like to relax. They invited me to stay. And I have stayed. I want to stay, I think. I just... Hope it is alright."
