Aiyanna's Relations
"oh goodness gracious, I hate this lioness. she is absolutely dreadful to be around, and at every possible opportunity I have to be away from her, I will walk away. if I am forced to work with her for any period of time, either short or long, I will quite honestly want to claw my eyes out. she views herself as though she is better than practically everyone else, because she was raised on a different planet, surrounded by humans and only one other lion. she was treated like a goddess, and honestly seems to think that she is one. but I can guarantee that I will never, ever, look up to her. and I will always see her as rude and arrogant and annoying."
"oh I love this lion. he is one of my dearest friends, and like most of my friends, he is a nomad. we met by chance one day; I was out scouting along the edge of the Unknown Lands, and I traveled a bit too far. I stumbled across his den, in an attempt to find some shred of warmth, but instead of screaming at me and kicking me out he accepted me in willingly. nowadays, I often go and visit him when I just want to talk to someone. he appreciates my intelligence, and vice versa to be fair, and we have extremely deep and meaningful conversations that always calm me down and get me to relax."
"when I was a cub, I was struggling to find myself. I hated practically everyone in the pride, and took that out on others. I was a real bully, constantly teasing other cubs for their imperfections and occasionally picking on the weaker ones. this lion was my partner in crime, to be completely honest. we were friends, but only for the most horrible and worst of reasons. we were bullies together, we judged everyone and made them feel as inferior as possible. but as we grew older and I began to realize that the way we had treated other cubs was wrong, we grew apart, which I suppose is for the better. when we see each other in passing nowadays, we only nod in acknowledgement as hello."
"ah yes, this is one of my few friends. its quite funny, in all actuality, because he is a prison guard, and we met during one of my visits to the prison planet z-99. we are not extremely close, since there is some part of him that he keeps hidden from everyone, but we are friends. he is very unsure about his element and wary around others, not wanting to cause any accidental damage, and i have been able to calm him down in moments of worry and panic before. i dont know if he is a part of the rebellion or just wants to, but he talks about it in a way that seems like he almost wants me to join as well. and there are days when i consider it, but then i remember how i have nothing against Ethereal and dont wish him harm."
"this older female is someone i view like family, even though they are not related by blood or anything of the sort. she helped my surrogent mother raise me, and so I view her a bit like an aunt. we aren't extremely close, especially since she is the correct age to have been around during my real parents trials. I don't fully trust her, much like I don't trust most pride lions/lionesses, but she is a nice enough female and I don't mind her company from time to time. she was very helpful when I was a cub; she inspired me to be strong and to work towards my goals, no matter how hard things got."
"ah yes, this nomad and i have a bit of a strange friendship. i dont fully trust him, for he keeps so many secrets that is quite honestly bothers me sometimes. he hates the pride and is very openly a part of the rebellion; we often have conversations about why i stays with them. i am often so torn, especially during these talks, about whether to stay with the pride of run off and join the rebellion, or even become a double agent. he often tries to get information out of me in regards to things going on in the pride, but i never know very much, since i myself try to stay away from the others as much as i possibly can. "
"we met by chance one day, and never fully developed a strong relationship. we are decent enough friends and I don't mind speaking to him in passing on occasion. however I am a bit iffy around him, because I have heard the rumors; I heard about how, in a moment of weakness, he lost control and became practically blood thirsty. it was one time only, but it was enough to make me nervous. when I see him around cubs, since training them is his job, I cant help but quickly walk away, for I don't want to be around, I don't want to see anything, if things go wrong."
"i do all of the speaking in our relationship, but i am very okay with that, especially since he is such an excellent listener. unlike many other lions, i completely understand and have no judgment towards his selective mutism. i also am very understanding when it comes to his personality changes, whereas others are more uncomfortable around him, i understand it as a way to show his hidden feelings. when he goes into a depression, i tend to find him just at the right time, and often will nudge him along, bringing him back to his cubs, for i know how they help him feel better."
"oh I love this lioness to death; she's like a sister to me, at least that's how I view her. we didn't necessarily grow up together or anything, but I adore her. we ran into each other when I was exploring into the unknown lands, and she seemed quite interested to learn about the pride, just as I was interested to learn about the small group that she came from. we share a lack of respect towards authority figures; towards older lions that have done nothing to prove their trustworthiness. there are times when I spend forget about my responsibilities and get lost in her life as a nomad. I hope that we can become friends as she learns to trust me."
"he freaks me out. i refuse to be alone around him; in fact, when i am around him at all, even in the near vicinity, i can constantly be seen giving him dirty looks. my body language shows my unease, with my ears pinned and tail flailing, my teeth bared. i cannot stand him, he gives me the jitters and i feel far too nervous. another thing about him that makes me uncomfortable is the fact that no one can ever seem to tell what he's thinking. he is too calm, all the time, and the only way to know how he's feeling is when someone takes enough time to notice his physical changes. i refuse to get that close to even notice those things."
