White Girl Name: Claricia
Meaning: Clear, Bright
Rank: Nurse
Owner: Silverlulz

Black Girl Name: Nox
Meaning: Night
Rank: Nurse
Owner: Kathryn Dragonna
History: Claricia and Nox always wanted to be Players, but it was below their station in life. Their family would not have allowed such a thing, and so the two took up healing so that they could interact with those that WERE players without being looked down on. They have perhaps gotten a little closer with the performers in the pride than the other nobles, but the girls do not let rumors fly about what they may or may not do with any handsome player males. They are, as most nobles, very good at hiding their dirty little secrets.

Ever After!
SoA name: Heulwen (welsh, meaning "sunshine")
Gender: female
Lion Lines: new alt
Rank: Player
Personality: Flirty, playful, and only ever takes performances seriously, Heulwen is really a loving creature, but she pretends not to care about more than flirting and playing just to keep everyone at a distance. She has a big fear of falling in love and having her heart broken.
History: Heulwen was born in the pride, but does not remember much of her family. She was orphaned at a young age and taken in by groundlings whom raised her as their own. When she got older she decided she wanted to be a bigger part of the pride and joined the Players. She tries to be the best pride member she possibly can be so she will not be told to go back to the groundlings. She believes that if she stays in the pride she'll have a chance to find a good mate, whom enjoys her company as much as she enjoys performing.

Name:
Ulka
Meaning:
Meteor (Bengali)
Rank:
Groundling
Personality:
Energetic and bright, there is a wit that lies behind star-struck eyes. She speaks in riddles, purposefully running circles around any who might be silly enough to think that this lovely lady has anything running through her mind that isn't on experiencing the most joy in life. Whether this is watching the expressions on others' faces, or just plain trapsing through the woods as though there is nothing more important on her mind, it does not matter. Ulka knows that it is here she belongs.
History:
The last thing that any groundling expected was to find a tiny cub abandoned in the forest, left alone, curled under a bush. However, this was where they found Ulka, dirty and cold, and so very alone. The little one was found shortly after a star-shower, and the markings on her pelt only solidified the name to the female that took her in. She was raised among the Groundlings, learning their ways, dancing and playing her part even amongst the Suka'fumo. Even now, fully grown, the lioness can think of nothing more than staying with the clan that raised her, taking care of her. She believes every last one to be her family, addressing almost everyone as sister or brother respectively.

Ever After!
SoA name:
Ananda
(Delight - Bengali)
Gender:
Female
Lion Lines:
Old Updated
Rank:
Player
Personality:
Ananda is very quiet and serious, more than most would think for a player. At least...when she's not on the stage. Some part of her stands out, and when she steps upon the stage she transforms, a beautiful creature with a heart that can reach even the most stony creatures. There's a delicacy to her as well, though it is tempered with an edge of wit.
History:
She came to the Suka'fumo in the middle of the night, through the trees and silent as a statue. It was all very dramatic, and to be entirely honest, she prefers not to relive its retelling. Needless to say, she was a much younger lioness then, and while it has been some time since the femme proved herself, and her paws led her to the stage, she has shown her heart time and time again.

Ever After!
SoA name: Nîpin (Summer)
Gender: Male
Lion Lines: Rogue New
Rank:Hunter
Personality: Nîpin is strong and manly, he believes in being a true gentlemen to others and thinks a male's role is very important. He is very charming and sincere but also humble and brave. He does sometime shave a soft spot for the young and the weak and feels he can do what he can to help.
History: Nîpin was born and raised in the pride, his mother died giving birth to him and his sister never made it. He grew up with his father whom soon left the pride after the loss of his mother becoming to great. Since then he was raised by another female lioness who taught him to be gentleman and have a soft heart at the same time of being brave and doing what is right. As he got older she soon too passed away and he found his path as a hunter, it was somewhere he could escape and do what he loved most.

Ever After!
SoA name: Perdita Calfuray (Lost Violet)
Gender: Female
Lion Lines: New
Rank: Noble
Personality: A bit jealous of her sibling's freedom to run and romp. She can be elegant and poised when she wishes to, but will also be more relaxed when out of sight of nobles. Perdita would love to find a crowd of nobles to run with who are more relaxed than snobbish. She misses those times as a cub when she could cut loose and join in their games.
History: A throwback to some long lost ancestor with purple. She was the only cub of her litter to her non-purple parents to sport purple. Perdita was doted upon by her parents more than the other cubs, without really knowing why. Her parents encouraged her to take a noble rank, though all she really wanted to do was join her siblings in preforming plays. Now she runs with a higher crowd and watches her siblings in their plays.

And much more openhearted
Name: Eolande
Meaning: Violet Flower in Celtic/Gaelic
Rank: Groundling
Personality: Eo is a flirt. She loves the game, loves being chased. She’s quick to state a flattering word or two and, while many may not believe her a good cause to any feminist views, she believes otherwise. Giving up the upper hand willing, the way she sees it, gives her more power; manipulation is, after all, a fun thing to do. Eo is the type to empower her company and whisper suggestions in their ear, getting them to do what she wants, while having them believe it was their idea in the first place.
History: Born a ‘fairy’, Eo lived a simple, carefree life. At a young age, she became an orphan, though too young to really remember much. However, she was taken care of and her days carefree, learning different things from the other Groundlings in the area. Eo also learned how to fully use the saying, “More flies with honey.”

White Girl Name: Scuro di Giorno Vigilia
Meaning: Dark Day Eve in Italian
Rank: Noble
Owner: Bullterrierlove

Black Girl Name: Luce di Notte Vigilia
Meaning: Light Night Eve in Italian
Rank: Noble
Owner: Lollipop x L u x u r y
History: Luce and Scuro are drama sisters, and ying yang to each other. Where one begins a sentence, the other one ends it. Alike in almost every way, they entertain themselves with theories and gossip. Easily intelligent enough to be a scholar, both sisters turn their noses to the idea of having knowledge as a duty bound occupation. They were born at dusk… a light night, but almost a dark day. One arriving just as the sun was about to set, the other after the sun had set. Growing up, they are hardly ever seen without each other. If someone wanted to speak to one of them, the other was present. Luce and Scuro believed it was the world and then, them. They were one, never wiser without the other.

Beyond their likeness, there is the friendly competition that runs through them. Making bets over wise decisions, in order to throw others through the loop.
”I’m quite sure the Zebra is white with black stripes, dear Luce.”
”I’m certain that isn’t the case, lovely Scuro… it is black with white stripes.”

(These two’s personalities are sort of portrayed by the Lutece twins from Bioshock. ;v; )

Name: Piede Leggero

Meaning: Light Foot in Italian
Are you around for RP plotting?: Yes
Ever After!
SoA name: Passo Primavera (Spring Step in Italian)

Gender: Female
Lion Lines: New
Rank: Player
Personality: Theatric to the extreme. She takes her characters seriously, to the point of being them, even outside of rehearsal. When she is forced to break out of character, she throws a bit of a tiff, refusing to speak to the person for the rest of the day. Her favorite situations? Stressful ones. The more for her to analyze how her character will react, the better.
History:Prima was trained from a young age to dazzle the audience; who knew who was watching. It was a player’s job to lure the audience, convince them of the world they are in, make them see stars. Her grandfather was a huge playmaster, and encouraged roles when Prima saw him. Pretend to be a frantic gazelle… a homeless leopard… a stork. The roles given to her by her grandfather grew as she aged, and soon… Prima lost track of just who she was.

And much more openhearted
Name: Bruci
Meaning: Forest Sprite (French)
Rank: Groundling
Personality: Bruci is a natural Groundling: one that loves to play pranks on others. While she never intends to hurt or torment those of the pride, mistakes happen, but instead of owning up to it, Bruci scampers away into the woods. She may not be the most mature of lions for doing this, but she'll express her apologies in small ways thereafter, often by leaving pretty feathers or stones in the path of those she's wronged.
History: Born to two irresponsible Groundling parents, Bruci was left to her own accords for the majority of her life. With her freedom and lack of rules, she set to do as she pleased which consisted of collecting pretty things and playing tricks on the pride nearby. She's made a few mistakes, but nothing so serious that she'd really get in trouble for it and certainly nothing so bad to make her stop her craft. Prank-playing is too fun, after all!

White Girl Name: Mahi
Meaning: Craft (Maori)
Rank: Tinker
Owner: Belloblossom

Black Girl Name: Tae
Meaning: Color (Maori)
Rank: Artisan
Owner: TBD
History: Despite having purple manes and patterns, these sisters wanted nothing more than to express themselves by their own creative ways. Mahi loved to craft accessories from feathers and stone--She was the one that made their masks! Tae on the other hand loved expressing herself through color and had such an eye for it that she became an Artisan. The two often work together, combining their ideas and getting grand results from it.

And much more openhearted 
Name:Mondfee
Meaning:Moon fairy
Rank:Groundling
Personality: Mondfee comes off as a little strange. In truth she is rather eccentric and happy go lucky, believing she has an affinity with both nature and the nights sky, believing that her pelt is a sign that she is part of the sky and stars, and that is it her quest to return there one day. She has long been enchanted by the forest and wishes to live a more secluded life than others but is definitely not an anti-social girl. She isn't one to plan her future in detail – she is rather driven by her emotions and her senses. Her eccentric ways mean she may have little friends, and those in the Suko'fumo may struggle to understand her. Mondfee doesn't assign herself to any gender. She is aware that physically she is a female, but is flexible in her thoughts about her gender and her sexuality towards taking a mate. It would be unlikely she would settle down. She can be a little hedonistic at times, but not to the point of selfishness.
History: Mondfee used to be part of the Suko'fumo when she was younger. She had always kept herself to herself, wanting to be closer to the forest that had always intrigued her. She fell in love with another lioness in her adolescence, and though crossdressing was something she tried, she didn't feel like she fit into either box didn't want to hide. The lioness was confused and felt she didn't fit with some of the ideals in the moutain, though she loved the performances and the energy. She'd heard tales from the forest of more acceptance, and one night she simply ran there, hoping to find some answers. She found the Groundlings and truly blossomed there.

And much more openhearted
Name: Leila
Meaning: Hebrew - Dark Beauty
Rank: Groundling
Personality: Leila has always been light of heart, playful, cheerful, and enjoys stalking the night and playing tricks on the sleeping. She has little loyalty, for any who fall asleep are prey for her tricks and playful games. When one does finally catch her, or speak to her at all they notice she often speaks in riddles, and of dreams and the night. It could be questioned if she does this as another trick, or if her mind is really that lost and riddled.
History: Leila was always a trouble maker even from birth. She found ways into sleeping spots and hidden dens where she would play tricks on the sleeping. She grew custom to the night quickly, and even more, her skills and practice since a cub has lead her to having silent feet. As all tricks go, rumors start to spread, and things that happen are often blamed on something else that is seen as unknown.
As of late that has come to be, stories about the sleeping trickster has become wildly out of hand. Each one different, and some even monstrous, depicting her as a to eat little cubs who wonder out when they should be sleeping, or stalking other lions like prey in the night. Or luring males from their homes, never to be seen again. Maybe they tell these tales to scare their cubs from leaving, or is there something else stalking the pride using the lioness as a cover..


Ever After!
SoA name: Acenath
Gender: Female
Lion Lines: CC
Rank: Noble
Personality: Acenath was always wise, and took more after her father then she likely should have. She was well spoken, held her head high, and sneered down her muzzle at anyone who she could cal below her paws. She can be quite rude, and most of all forward. But when one looks past her part, she has a heart of gold, a child behind a mask that she places to hold herself up when the world pushes her down.
History: Acenath was the first born cub to her parents, who, out of all their cubs, there was not a single male. Her mother became ill after having the cubs ad died not long there after, leaving them in the hands of their father. She learned quick what it was like to be a female in the pride. She found herself in hate and anger quite a bit at how she was treated for it. So, upon her fathers death one sorrowful night, she took his mane, and his place as the head of her family.
She put all her anger and sorrow into that persona, for she has to be the male her father had wanted. Having no sons, he was always hard on Acenath for she was his first born. Now she walks the pride lands as a Son of her father, and no one but her sisters will ever know her story, though this truth may seep free, for with gained respect for one, there is scorn between them. Who knows how long before the family comes to a war of its own...
