Personality In Depth
this female is extremely intelligent, and has always been that way. when she was young, she could watch a situation unfold, and within several minutes figure out half a dozen possible solutions for it. some said she was too smart, that it would lead her to nothing but trouble, but her mind was the type that wouldn't stop, that was always running at a million miles a minute. even when sitting completely still, ears perked and eyes searching, she could look totally at peace; no one would be able to tell that her brain was working on overdrive. aiyanna is also known for oozing confidence, something she had learned to do as a cub when everyone had their eyes on her 24/7. she quickly realized that she needed to appear self-reliant and assertive if she wanted anyone to take her seriously. there was a brief period, during her depression, that she was very withdrawn, very unlike her normal self. luckily, this period was relatively short-lived, and she definitely has her mojo back. aiyanna may be getting older, but her senses are still incredibly in-tune with their surroundings. she has some of the best hearing on the planet, at least in her opinion, not that she would dare brag about it. she may pride herself in her skills, but she is by no means arrogant, although in her youth she once was. she now would easily choose to bow out of any form of fancy recognition or attention in the spotlight. she prefers to just do her job and help her fellow pride members as much as she can. she is incredibly loyal, one of her greatest strengths as well as greatest weaknesses. |
Young Life;; Her father was a huge lion known by the name Huritt, and her mother was a tiny lioness known by the name Chenoa. Huritt was the perfect lion to be given this specific name, it suited him perfectly; meaning “handsome” he lived up to that expectation very well. Huritt was a ladies man, no if ands or buts about it. He could simply flash a smile, and he could have practically any lioness falling at his paws, dropping like flies. He was known for being a smooth talker, especially since his deep voice was so melodic that it was often described to be as smooth as honey. He was an extremely beautiful lion, covered in rippling muscles, and a large lush mane. He would have been content as a simple pride member, no extra responsibilities, just living a comfortable life. However, that is not how it was meant to be, for his father saw the way that he was living and refused to allow it to continue. As soon as he was eligible, the older lion put in a request, behind Huritt’s back of course, and before he knew it he was sent off to the Prison Planet Z-99 as a Prison Guard, to make him “learn to be more responsible and grow out of his flirtatious ways”. Chenoa, on the other hand, was a very simple lioness who was content living her life to help others. With a name meaning “dove” it makes sense that she would be a peace-loving being that had chosen the career path of a healer. She dedicated every waking moment of her time to take others’ pain away and help them in any possible way that she could. Chenoa was a small lioness; with a frame leaning on the petite side, she was often teased as a cub, being called a “midget”. There was only one problem; during the most horrific time period of the Civil War, she ended up in the wrong place at the wrong time. One of the most highly decorated and extremely honored warriors, Dynamite, was brutally murdered along the edge of the Unknown Lands and the Pride’s Territory. Chenoa was searching for a specific vine to help set a broken bone for a stubborn cub that refused to allow her to simply heal it; she stumbled across his bleeding body just as he took his final breath. Desperate to help, she tried to heal him, but she was too late, and her powers did no good. The problem was, she was found there, next to his cold body, covered in his blood. She was accused of treachery and sent to Z-99; no one would believe that she was innocent. The pair met on the prison planet. He was desperate for female attention, having been surrounded by only other lions for nearly 100 years at this point, and practically begged his Head Guard, Alzo, to assign him to her cell. For some odd reason, maybe if nothing more than to stop his insistent whining and begging, the older male obliged. At first Huritt tried to act cool and collected, tried being suave and unimpressed, but that got him nowhere. So he switched tactics and began to flirt, hardcore twenty-four-seven, but that just made her angry. Finally, he broke down and asked Chenoa why he couldn’t get through to her; if she found him ugly or something. And she turned to look at him and simply stated that she viewed him the way she viewed every other member of the pride; just another backstabber that didn’t care about the truth. Overtime, the pair talked through the prison walls/doors, and a friendship grew. The biggest issue was that this friendship blossomed into romance, and Huritt found himself snatching the keys and sneaking into her cell to wrap his body around her and just cuddle together. There was once, just once, that the pair couldn’t control themselves, and Chenoa realized quickly that she had cubs in her stomach. Alzo was doing a routine check of the prisoners and the smell of the lionesses pregnancy hormones was easily detected. Huritt was dragged away, roaring and clawing to get back to his not-so-secret love. He was brought back to the Home Planet to face trial in front of the Alpha, but he saw the way he was hated and judged by the pride members, and decided he didn’t even want to risk it. He managed to escape, fighting off a few warriors, and ran off into the Unknown Lands, never to be seen or heard from again. When Aiyanna was born, she was immediately taken away from her mother and sent to the Home Planet to be raised by another lioness; Reba had recently given birth to three stillborn cubs, and was ecstatic to have, what she considered, a second chance at motherhood. Many lions opposed this adoption, because she had been the twin sister of Dynamite, the warrior that Chenoa had supposedly murdered, but she didn’t care who the cub’s family was. But even though Reba was nothing but kind and loving, Aiyanna never felt like she belonged with the lioness. When Aiyanna was fifty years old, her mother was released from the Prison and brought back to the Home Planet. The Alpha apologized profusely for the mistake that had been made; the real murderer of Dynamite had been caught and openly admitted to the crime; Juxtapose was practically insane and laughed like a crazy/mad man as he said what he had done. But Chenoa despised the pride for what they had done, and only met her daughter once; to apologize and say she loved her. She shortly left to become a nomad and was last spotted entering the Unknown Lands. Still, the Alpha found himself feeling guilty and gave Aiyanna a special privilege; once she reached the age of 200, she would be allowed unlimited access to the Prison Planet. She found herself drawn to Juxtapose, drawn to try and understand who he was and why he did what he had; why any lion could allow another to be punished for their own wrongdoings. And so she would the Prison on average once or twice a month, trying to get into Juxtapose’s head, to make sense of his crimes. Aiyanna has found that, through the mistakes of her parents, she did not trust the other members of the pride for many years. She doesn’t mind the new Alpha, rather enjoys that the one who ruined her parents lives is gone in fact. However, anyone that was old enough to have been around during the trials of her parents, she holds nothing anger in her heart towards them. |
Life After Loss Its crazy how quickly everything can change; in just a heartbeat, a life can be stolen from this world. Wernen was Aiya's entire world; he was the love of her life, and she would have done absolutely anything to be by his side until the day she died. But fate has a cruel sense of humor, and he was taken for this world far too soon. Her daughter Varania had left the pride and joined the rebellion, and it completely crushed her. Ezra and Calida had also left, to become nomads as far as their parents knew, and Aiyanna felt like a failure of a parent for having so many children leave the pride. Nelaros, her only child that remained in the pride, was a tracker, and she had been working to find Vara, to bring closure to her mother. Wernen had been going with her as a protector of sorts, not wanting his only remaining daughter to get into danger by herself. No one really knows what happened, what went wrong, but it was assumed they came too near to the rebels land, and they were attacked; what no one knows, at least not in the tribe, was that it was their own child, Wernen's only son Ezra, who had caught and killed them. Their bodies had been found brutally mutilated, anger clear in the way they were torn apart. It took years for her to get over Wernen; Lilith and Keres had helped her by being there for her, in whatever ways possible, as a support system. But the pain and the memories were overwhelming, and so Aiyanna switched to the rank of a prison guard, hoping to find escape on the prison planet from her past. She did find the job provided her with plenty of distractions from her pain, and eventually she found love again. Leonidas was another prison guard. For the first few years of their relationship, they bickered about literally everything under the son, much like the saying goes "an old married couple". As time moved on, Aiyanna grew to accept that her feelings were turning romantic, and she began to pursue Leonidas as such. He fought it at first, unwilling to bring her into the danger of his lifestyle, but true to her nature Aiyanna was stubborn, and in time they became mates/life partners. But now that she was finally happy, finally over the deaths of her loved ones, she found herself missing her initial career path. She missed tracking; she found herself getting bored guarding criminals, walking them from one place to another. She missed the rush of the breeze in her fur as she raced along the trail of someone. Plus, she hadn't been able to spend much time with her grandchildren, Valhalla and Vesuvius, during their cubhood; now they were adults. Returning to the planet of Lochren on a short leave, she requested permission from the alpha to once again change ranks, making it clear that she wished to remain, forevermore, as a tracker. |
