Personality traits
Caring|Gentle|Witty
Casual|Straightforward|Conformist
Paranoid|Wary|Unforgiving

Positive:

Caring: Cherry is an incredibly caring Lion. He’s sweet, motherly, and ensures one's safety and well being. His caring side is what got him the role that he's at today in the shadow empire. Anyone could go to him if they're looking for a temporary ‘parent’

Gentle: Cherry is a gentle giant, at first glance he would seem like a lone wolf, he's muscular, and his facial expression doesn't change much, but put him around cubs and those in need, his demeanor changes completely. He’s gentle with those he needs to be, He’s extremely gentle with cubs; he never plays roughly or make sudden movements, and with those shorter than him, he tries to make himself seem small to ensure they are comfortable


Witty: Cherry is a very witty male, he's clever with his sense of humor and ensures everyone around him can have a good little chuckle. His sense of humor is often created on the spot, making it unexpected as well, of course he times it and won't just randomly blurt out jokes.

Neutral:

Casual: Cherry is a very relaxed and calm being. He doesn't seem overly stressed about alot of things, actually only a few selective topics stress him out, other than that he’s pretty chill and laid back. Easy to hang around and to talk to.

Straightforward: Don't confuse this with blunt, being blunt means you're honest with no regards to the others feelings. Cherry is straightforward- while he’s honest, he’s sincere, genuine when he tells the truth. Even if the other does not want it, at least he shows empathy while doing so.

Conformist: Cherry tries to blend in. He doesn't want to stand out, he prefers to do things that are acceptable by his peers and not considered unusual. There's multiple reasons for this, but one of which is that he already stands out. A purebred lion that's red, and his red fur is the reason he’s the last of his bloodline, so to make up for that; he blends in with the crowd socially.

Negative:

Paranoid: Cherry is very paranoid. While normally he appears to be constantly relaxed and laid back, he’s much more paranoid than he lets on. No, he’s not timid or shy, he's just fully aware of what can go wrong. He doesn't like leaving the empire's borders much because of this paranoia that those who took his family will come for him.

Wary: Cherry is very wary of outsiders. While he is fond of his peers, others outside of the empire he doesn't seem too fond of. While he is still his usual calm self, he doesn't seem too keen on sticking around when interacting with them, only doing so if he needs to.


Unforgiving: This is mainly for extreme cases, but Cherry is not one to forgive easily. No he’s not petty and will not get mad over small stuff, but he doesn't believe someone can change. Of course he won't say that bluntly, but hints at it. For example, if someone were to be manipulative towards him and later he found out, he would confront and avoid. He doesn't want anything to do with them after hurting him in such a way. He won't wish them ill but he believes nothing about them will change.

This does not extend to small things such as being a slight bully, tease, maybe too prideful, or hurting someone as a cub, because that's small things he can handle, and when it comes to cubs; they’re still growing and can be guided the right path, an adult however is different.

Background:

Tribal Lore
Beautiful, peaceful, strict, orderly.
That was Cherry's life when he was born in a tribe that is now long gone. His tribe ran on very strict rules and honor, they lived far from empires therefore making their presence unknown to them but to the natives they were much aware of this tribe and its culture.

The tribe was mainly known for its gorgeous red lions that became of high value to humans. Now its unknown why their tribe came out with this color, but its said that Cherrys great grandmother is the reason.


Cherry's tribe ran on a hierarchy, like natural lions, females stayed and males once they reach within age must leave, but here’s the difference. They were always able to come back once they accomplished their quest that was sent by the elder females.

Cherry was lucky enough to be born of high status with his sister, Mari.  While they were treated with high respect it also meant his mother and father expected more from the small cubs. They expected them to be level headed, clever, strict. As after all, Cherry will take his fathers place, his sister will take on as head female, as the ‘queen’ spot was reserved for the future mate of the male cub.

Yeah- so, strict rules, royalty, all that stuff- and soon enough, well, Cherry reached that age where he would have to go on his own quest, well, before that Cherry had a bit of a fight with his father- you see, Cherry was seen as too soft and kind by his father, which lead to a fight that very quickly got physical, which was stopped by his mother. So, his ‘goodbye’ when he went off for his quest wasn't exactly a goodbye at all. More so a ‘good riddance’ Well, from his father at least, his sister gave a proper goodbye. His dear sister, he had such a strong connection to the lioness, she would always brighten his day with witty behavior and her clumsy personality, so of course when Cherry went off on his quest he stopped by and in secret would visit his sister. This went on until he was 2 years old, as he left when he was 1. Then Cherry had to really go, as his quest required him to go beyond the land of his tribe.

…Remember when I said red lions were of high value to the native humans that lived on the land? Well, I meant their coat.

On the 3rd of April, Cherry was rushing home as he had heard the news of his home being invaded, over time the population of red lions went down due to the mass hunting for their coat, and this day is when their home caught fire. The humans set it ablaze to flush out the lions, using their own cats to track and hunt the ones trapped. Cherry rushed into the flames in hope of saving his family, receiving a terrible burn on his head in doing so. Well, he found his family, and he was too late, his mother and father gone… but wait, where was his sister? As he worried, he did not realize his exit was blocked by the flames, and realizing he was now trapped, he accepted his fate, but just as the smoke began to reach his lungs, he heard a voice- he looked up to see… his sister ! and she had an exit ! Rushing towards her, they raced out of the plains, seeing his sister run beside him filled him with memories as when they were cubs, and as they reached out of the burning flames, he turned around to thank his sister- but… she wasn't there. Where has she gone?! Was it all his imagination? A ghost perhaps? Where was his sister?!



days have passed and Cherry has made a burial for his family, in hopes their souls reach the afterlife, but he must go on to live… alone in this world. Cherry had traveled far from his land, in hopes to forget the traumatizing sight of his burning home. He had traveled long and ran into many obstacles, but eventually he reached the shadow empire. He introduced himself as Cherry, despite that not being his real name. But rather the name his sister called him. Cherry hoped that he would establish himself as the gentle, calm, and kind soul that would grant him the role of keeper.
