We don't want to read a novel >.<; -- You may submit two etries. -- You may name the cub in your entry, but you don't have to keep that as the name if you win. -- Please post all entries in this thread. -- You may include the parents and other siblings in interactions/dialog/etc. but focus your entry on the cub of your choice -- If you do two entries, put them in seperate posts -- If you do two entries, you don't have to do them on the same cub. You may try for a different cub if you so wish =] -- More rules may be added as necessary <3 The ParentsThe Mother -- Before Serabii had a family she was wandering on her own. She would fight for what was hers and she wasn't about to back down. Now that she has children she has new cause to fight for. She is very protective when it comes to her family and those she loves, and she will do whatever is necessary if what she has is threatened. On the other hand, when danger isn't lurking around the corner and she has a moment to spare, Serabii has quite the sense of humor. One of her newest, favorite, past-times is playing with her children and advancing their imagination. The Father -- Kiddoni remembers little of what it was like to be a happy cub. His mother was nomadic, mostly ignoring he and his sister, Kai, and ultimately disappearing entirely one day and forcing them to live on their own. He harbors grief that he might of been indirectly instrumental in what he believes was Kai's death (though he's not entirely sure in his heart she IS dead) and so has never forgiven himself. As a result, he'd become very withdrawn by the time he'd met Serabii, and she was patient enough to draw him back out. He's fiercely protective of her and the cubs, and is proud to teach his offspring all he knows, even as he searches (though he won't admit it aloud) for his sister. The Cubs(click for pictures)Boy| Girl 1| Girl 2The PromptsPrompt 1 Your father has gone out for the day and won't be returning until dusk. With a smirk on her face and a twinkle in her eye, your mother is ready to go out. She has promised you a day to go out and play! What do you two do? Do your other siblings come along? Do you make some mischief and promise each other not to tell dad? Or do you become the grouch and want to stay indoors? Prompt 2 It is a few hours before daybreak and you are wide awake and bored. You're a cub! You want to play! Do you torment one of your parents to beg to go out? Do you terrorize a sibling and wake them to join in on an adventure? Or maybe you just sneak out on your own! What do you do until the sun finally rises? Prompt 3 What is your personality like? Your parents have raised you along side your siblings, but do you act just like them? This prompt is to tell us exactly what kind of cub you are! Do you stick to the guidlines as to what your parents will hope you will follow? Are you a rule-breaker? Or do you even care? -Be descriptive! Using more descriptions helps paint a picture in the mind's eye <3 -Think about the senses! Does the cub smell anything? Or hear something peculiar? -Quality is better than quantity. Just because the entry is 1250 words long doesn't make it better than an entry that is 400 words long! -Be creative! Try to think outside the box, the more creative the entry, the more we know you'll roleplay later ;] Please use this form when entering!

Which cub: Male
Prompt: 3
Dark brown, riddled with imaginative spots and wiggling stripes. Perhaps it was fate that such an interesting cub should be so creative.
The cub in question sat between his sisters, paws deep in thick mud. His arms moved quickly, creating trenches and mountains in the mud. His delicate little claws created strange details, though later they melted with the weight of the mud, and great big arm-fulls of mud towered, reaching for the blue sky above his head.
Such deep concentration riddled him that his small pink tongue hung beyond his jaws and a furrow dug itself in his brow, creating a look of a lion beyond the cubs years. He huffed and puffed, groaned and mumbled, creating a mud utopia of his very imaginings. It wasn't until a large paw pushed him gently that he realized he'd been talked to.
"Daroi?"
He blinked up into his father's face and grinned.
"What is this?" The red lion gestured at Daroi's utopia with a raised brow.
"Pride." Daroi said simply. Full sentences were not often a part of his speech. So rare in fact, that he could likely count the number of times he had spoken in a full sentence on his tail-feathers. That is, if he had known how to count.
His father looked upon the utopia, the pride, with a mix of pride and amazement washing over his face. It was not so detailed that it was a masterpiece, for it melted and became misshapen with every passing minute, nor was it made of anything valuable. But it was beautiful in a way that only a cub and his parent could understand.
Under the protection of a mountain, being bathed in the golden afternoon sun, were two lion-like forms, one decidedly large and masculine, and the other smaller and more feminine, and then three small little blobs, all with melting happy faces. It was their family, and it was gloriously beautiful.
(I hope this explain his creativity and simple-mindedness well enough, as well as his ability to concentrate on a task D: )

Which cub: Girl 2
Prompt: 2
Kirana turned over on her side, unable to sleep anymore as she turned her head to look towards the opening of their den. Her eyes glew from the little light shining in, the stripes on her face blended in with the darkness of the den's ground while her pale fur seemed to stick out.
She yawned once, looking at her siblings next to her "Hey." she whispered, glancing at her sleeping parents a few feet away before looking at her brother again "Hey!" she poked him with her paw. Her brother shifted once but didn't wake up or reply.
Kirana sighed, slowly standing up and snuck around them to the opening of the den and looked around. It was still early, too early to be up but she couldn't sleep anymore. She curled her tail to the side, looking back once at her family before slowly padding into the grass infront of the enterance.
She looked up at the trees as she walked until she her a chirp from the grass infront of her. She put her ears back and crouched down, looking for the source of the sound. After taking a few steps forward she tilted her head to the side when she spotted a cricket perched up on a rock.
She sat up and stared at the brown and black colored, noisy bug for a while as it continued to chirp uninterupted.
Kirana had every intention of pouncing it at first but the longer she listened to the sound, the more she wanted to know how it made it. Maybe she would ask her mom when she woke up.
After a while the sun started to shine through the treetops, lighting the rock the cricket was on. The cricket shifted it's position for the first time since she had started watching it and hopped into the grass "W-wait!" she shouted, taking a step forward but didn't chase it. She looked to where the sun was coming in and put her ears back, it was time to go back.
She smiled again, her mom would be up when she got back. There was a chance she would be in trouble but she could ask her about the noise making bug she found.
She stood back up, taking one look back to the rock then started back towards the den.

Which cub: Female #1 (burgundy)
Prompt: #2
Nizhoni squirmed in her sleep, her mind rapidly approaching consciousness, it was still a few hours before dawn and yet, her eyes blinked open. As the little burgundy hued cub cleared the haze and clouds from her eyes she yawned. Rising to her paws she stretched, digging her claws into the dirt floor of the den as she worked all the muscles in her small body, waking them up and getting them ready for a day of excitement. Finally she took notice that it was still very dark inside the den and all of her family was still asleep. The young cub frowned, what good was it to be awake if everyone else was still sleeping? She had no one to play with and she knew the consequences for waking up her parents or siblings before dawn. Growling quietly to herself she sat down and wondered what to do.
After sitting for a few minutes she realized there was no way she would be able to go back to sleep and so she carefully made her way out of the den, making sure not to brush against any of her family and wake them. When she emerged from the den she looked around. The moon was low in the sky but the sun had yet to rise, still there was enough light for the young cub to see her surroundings quite clearly. Quietly she made her way through the dry grasses of the savannah, wandering aimlessly until she had lost sight of the den all together.
A rustling in the grass ahead of her caused Nizhoni to stop in her tracks, her ears twitched as she tried to decipher the source of the noise and eyes were trained on the thick clump of grass just ahead. A strange scent reached her sensitive nose and she quirked her head to the side quizzically before crouching down and moving forward carefully. As she reached the edge of the thick clump of grass there was a sneeze from inside and it caused her fur to bristle but she refrained from making any noises. Carefully she poked her nose through the grass and what she saw caused quite a bit of confusion. It was a small creature and it resembled her and her siblings but it was much sleeker in build. Tilting her head to the side Nizhoni made a friendly noise and waited for the other feline to react.
The poor lion cub hadn’t expected the little cheetah to whirl on her and hiss while it cowered as far away from her in the hiding place it’s mother had left it as was possible. ”Hey, stop that, the hyenas will hear you.” Nizhoni reprimanded quietly. ”I’m not going to hurt you anyway. What are you doing out here?” she questioned and crouched down so she was at eye level with the cheetah cub.
”Momma says everything is dangerous, must stay hidden till she gets back.” the cheetah cub replied as she eyed Nizhoni warily. ”Who are you?” she questioned while she squirmed in place trying to decide if she should run or not.
Nizhoni smiled at the little feline thinking that she might be able to play with someone after all. ”My name is Nizhoni. My family lives in a little den over there.” she gestured with her tail back the way she had come. ”They’re all asleep and I wanted to play. Will you play with me?” she swished her tail hopefully. The sun was just beginning to rise but her family wouldn’t be up this early.
The cheetah cub smiled and swished her tail as well ”My name is Citlali. I am glad to meet you Nizhoni.” Citlali crouched down and then pounced at Nizhoni all the while making a playful growling noise. As the two cubs rolled around in the grass they were oblivious to all the other sounds around them.
Nizhoni stilled, a look of utter confusion crossed her face as she suddenly felt the weight of Citlali lifted off of her and a loud growling reached her ears. Rolling onto her paws the lion cub cowered under the gaze of an infuriated mother cheetah who looked as if she was about to turn Nizhoni into her next meal.
”Momma, don’t hurt Nizhoni, she’s my friend!” Citlali exclaimed and scampered over to stand in front of the lion cub, defending her from the over protective mother. As the mother cheetah looked down at her cub her expression softened and she sighed. ”Citlali, lions are not friends, they will kill you if they get the chance.” she explained but her cautions fell on deaf ears for her cub was shaking her head furiously in refusal. ”Not Nizhoni momma, Nizhoni is a friend.” Citlali explained again.
Nizhoni eyed Citlali’s mother and saw her expression change she saw it as a chance to plead her case. ”I wouldn’t hurt any cat ma’am, I just wanted to play.” she flicked her tail nervously as she waited to either be attacked or let go and sighed with relief when the mother cheetah nodded her head.
”Fine, I see there was no harm done, you may go, but remember this, other lions do not befriend cheetahs, you should not tell anyone of this morning.” The mother cheetah grasped her cub by the scruff and turned, heading to a more remote part of her territory where hopefully they would not be stumbled upon.
Nizhoni watched as her friend disappeared before turning and racing back towards her home as quickly as her short legs would carry her. When she arrived back at the den her family was just awaking and she sat outside watching the horizon while she sorted out her thoughts and tried to calm herself so no one would suspect she’d ever been gone.
