I wanna Plotz!
Lions Name: Ruger
Lions Gender: Male
Lions Image: Ruger
Interested In: Sanctus Bona
Plots you have in mind Alright. Ruger is a big hearted lion that is outgoing and sees the good in everything. He is not hard to figure out and can have fun just bounding through a field. As he was growing up he was pretty much alone except for the occational lion or lioness that would spot him. He obviously was not taken in by any of them, but he never thought bad of it. He saw them as new friends.
My main idea is that Ruger may run into Sanctus Bona near a river or lake (seeing as she is a water lioness) and start up a friendship. He'd be a loving guy and listen to her if she needed to vent anything. Of course games and running around would be involved. As Ruger gets to know her more he'd feel more protective of her in a more loving way. He would watch over her and make sure that no lion/lioness they may run into would hurt her. Ruger would show her that she is a very special, sweet lioness that deserves respect and love. And Ruger would try to show her that kind of love. Should she deny that he would still stick around as her friend.
A secondary idea is that Ruger sort of "adopts" her as his sister and as such becomes a protective and loving brother. He would show her that not all lions are bad and that there is no need to feel down on herself.
