To adopt this lion, you must either:
1. Have a founder, be at least level 1, and have enough space to accommodate this lion
2. Or, you can adopt this one as your founder!

Sorta simple lion between other stuff, drawing stripes is very therapeutic for me, speaking of therapeutic:
This lion is shaken up about something, how do they receive comfort to clam them down? Does it work?

[AwkwardAnxiety]

Username: AwkwardAnxiety
Lion name: Dame
Lion gender: Female
Pride: Lost Reminiscence (subpride)
Pride status: Foundling
Prompt:
Dame is a very independent lioness, she hates to rely on others. She wants to deal with all of her problems herself, but when she discovered that none of the rest of her family escaped to the new world, she was devastated. She couldn't even turn to her family for help because they were all gone. She didn't know what to do. She didn't take care of herself and felt ill constantly. But the other lions from her home world shared her grief. They too had lost family and friends. They made her eat, sleep, and bathe. They soothed her in her sobbing and let her scream at them in her anger. And when she was finally able to let go of her grief, she realized that these stranger were now her friends, her family. And she felt like she could now take on the world.

[QueenOfWyrms]

Username: QueenOfWyrms
Lion name: Silvia
Lion gender: female
Pride: PoB
Pride status: Nadiri Batling
Prompt:
Silvia remembered the first few times she saw an asteroid hit Nadir. It seemed, to her, that they was going to swallow the whole town in their impact. She was, frankly, terrified. Her mother would take her up in her forelegs and croon a lullaby she'd made. Silvia's mother would rock her to the melody of the lullaby until she fell asleep. And when she woke up, she wouldn't be afraid anymore. Now, many centirevolutions had gone by since her mother passed. Still, when she was scared, sad, or angry she would hum to herself that little lullaby and feel like her mother was there with her, rocking her to sleep. And she would remember that feeling that all was good and safe in the world.

[Tiger♥Bear]

Username: Tiger♥Bear
Lion name: Desta
Lion gender: Female
Pride: Pekee Pamoja
Pride status: Scout
Prompt: 214/250

Desta paced at the edge of the pond, too focused on stressing out to notice anything else around her. "No. No, no, no, no." Mumbling to herself, she paced in a circle. "What if I...? No- that won't work." She dropped her head, shaking it hard. "Maybe...? No. Ugh!"
"Uh... are you okay?" Desta didn't even notice the dark lioness approach her, caught up in her pacing and mutterings. She continued to shake her head. Atiena huffed. "Hello? Can I help you?"
"No, nothing will help." The response was practically automatic.
Atiena watched as this feline paced then raised a brow. "Want to talk it out?"
Desta just continued to pace. It seemed Atiena wasn't going to get through this way. The striped feline was too absorbed in her distraught state. Desperate times call for desperate measures. With that, she swiped a paw through the water and splashed Desta leaving her sputtering.
"Hey!" Her attention focused on Atiena. "What was that for?"
"You seem stressed. I was trying to help but it seemed you were a bit consumed."
"I-" Desta cut herself off realizing what happened. "Oh. Well... thanks, I guess."
"Sure." Atiena shifted her paws. "Wanna...talk about it?"
The striped feline took a deep, steadying breath. "Yeah. Yeah, I think I do. Thanks."

Lion name: Calytrix --- khal - uh - trix // --> meaning 'star-flower'
Lion gender: Female
Pride: Rosetinted Pride
Pride status: Valkyrie
Prompt: Caly's way of calming down or de-stressing is to sit by the ocean and watch the waves crash to shore. Their rhythm soothes her. She never had anything like the ocean or it's wave where she comes from, so she has always found it oddly intriguing.

Pride status:
Queen, if that's allowed since I already have a king (will change if needed)
Prompt:
The way she receives comfort is by letting Hedron lick and cuddle her. Of course this works, as he's such a sweet and loving guy. His purring too will clearly calm her down, as that's how all felines relax. She loves to just be around him, so actually being cuddled is even better.

[Mercuré]

Username: irockwaffleking
Lion name: Priapos
Lion gender: male
Pride: The Pantheon
Pride status: Member of Eden
Prompt:

Priapos is a gruff warrior and often others can be surprised when things get under his skin. They’re even more surprised when he mentions that gardening is his way of calming down. Priapos may look intimidating but when he’s off the battlefield he’s a gentle giant who grows the best tomatoes and the healthiest flowers. When he was younger sometimes others would make fun of his hobby for not being traditionally masculine but Priapos has never cared. He sees nothing wrong with wanting to watch something grow as a direct result of his handiwork. Just sitting with his flowers or vegetables after a long day and watching them lightly sway in the breeze is often where Priapos is happiest. Even if things seem out of control he always knows he can return to his garden to bask in the sunlight and admire all that he has don.

[Fleepity]

Username: Fleepity
Lion name: River Dawn
Lion gender: Female
Pride: Running Stars
Pride status: Hunter
Prompt:

The poor girl hadn't said a thing since she had arrived. She looked pretty shaken up. Jagged Peaks wasn't quite sure what to do with her. So he just left her in the healers' den. Jade Flower had an idea though.

Late at night, when River Dawn had fallen asleep, Jade Flower padded in and flicked her tail, signaling to the rest. The entire pride entered, curling up next to River Dawn. A big cat pile.

Hours later, when the dawn was just breaking, River Dawn could be seen smiling softly and purring.
