I enjoyed drawing this lovely lady She is for Agent-Taai 's contest here fav.me/dbmm6lf If you enjoy making lion designs, I'd recommend checking it out. I'd love to see what other people come up with ^^
It took me a while to decide on a name, and in the end I stuck with two xD Some lions can have a last nammmme

First name: Marjani - Meaning "Red Coral"
Last name: Eniola - Meaning "Person of wealth"

Personality Traits { Vain/Narcissistic - Quick-witted - Clean - Petty - Cultivated - Vindictive - Fiercely Loyal - Follower - Lazy }

History: Being born into royalty is considered a blessing by some, and a curse by others; Marjani always saw it as a given right. She believed herself to have a pure soul, one that was intentionally put in the line of royalty. As a result of this mentality, she expected only the best; The most food, the best nest, the most respectful and adoring treatment, to be allowed her way, etc.
Her mother taught her many things, one of which was being in-genuine; Speaking your mind and sharing your honest thoughts and feelings isn't always the best idea. Keep the truth hidden in order for others with different opinions to open up to you. She was taught that this could be very beneficial, especially in very serious matters such as in planned revolutions or acquiring other prides' secrets.
Her father shared his daughter's sentiments when it came to her position in the pride, but would never let it exceed his own. He was a quiet lion himself, using few words, a placid expression, and a confident demeanor to get through to his subjects. He would not speak to his wife or child often... in fact, if they came to him with pointless chatter, he would ignore them blatantly. Such an act was rarely offensive, for it was common knowledge not to bother the king with frivolous matters. Marjani herself was quick to adopt the behavior, showing off her status by wasting no time or breath on anyone or anything deemed unworthy. Not only that, but she found herself learning to carry a placid, if not thoughtful, expression when alone or near those she was not close to.

Life went on as usual for a few years until her father's mental health started failing. There were several small pride and rogue groups who wanted to take over the successful kingdom, and Marjani new it. Although she did her best to keep anything bad from happening, no one could stop the devastation that followed. There was an attack on her pride, but they were ready for it; They quickly weakened their enemies and drove them back. However, just as they were about to chant victoriously, an entirely new group came swarming in. This gang was informed that the first group had prepared to attack, and also knew that the victim pride would be ready. Using that to their advantage, they let the pride's energy become sapped from fighting a separate enemy first.
That fight was more difficult; They only kept each other at bay, never winning or losing. It was then that the luck of Marjani's pride failed them entirely. Another small pride charged in. Because they were also fighting for the kingdom, they fought more than just Marjani's pride-mates.
It was a vicious battle, one where many lives--Including that of her father--were lost. Despite their efforts, Marjani's pride was not the victor. Being one of few who didn't actually fight, Marjani escaped unscathed. She was, however, deeply traumatized by the event, and finds herself too anxious to live on her own. She used her parents' teachings to her advantage to manipulate prides into taking her in, but her attitude quickly got her kicked out.
She gave up on prides and instead looked to have a male to create a pride with, or at least to have companionship with. She always kept herself very clean and presentable; Her posture and expression always showed a status of beauty. She's always annoyed to have excessive dust or mud on her pelt, and will clean herself for hours after hunts if she needs to. Her walk has been conditioned into a saunter, especially when near an attractive male.
While she will manipulate any males she thinks she could get something from, she would not rely on lies to get the male she wanted; She believes that the only male that deserves her will love her without her mindlessly acting to their will.
