SoA tags are coming. Once I get my butt in gear. x_x Sorry. So hard to give everything equal attention....
Sure! He sounds like someone who could, at the very least, act as a friend cushion when her troubles start. She's got a lot of emotional baggage she won't get over until reaching adulthood, emerging as a more mature lioness. But still a blunt and adventurous girl.
So long as he doesn't mind a tomboy who might strike back in adolescent like the typical hormonal teenager. xD She'll calm down as an adult, I swear.
Mate potential, I don't think she'd dislike him. Seems they'd get along and he could teach her to stop dwelling on the past. Course, he'd have to get past her protective father. That would be interesting.
Does he want to meet her as a cub or juv? She's due to grow to adolescent really soon, so they're around the same age~
