Lioness of Prideless
Played by violetta

A LITTLE BODY NEVER HURT NO-ONE
the rainforest proved to have a less forgiving climate than the woodlands. a certain dampness hung to every leaf, clogged the air, and left her curls frizzy. although there was always a pleasant fragrance in the air, it inconvenienced her to constantly have to avoid the foliage or a low-hanging branch. she couldn't stay here - that much was obvious. but after walking for days with no destination or purpose, helayne was fatigued. she didn't rest often, too uptight to spend more than a few hours in one location. it still felt like she had hell on her heels, and after live proof that this land was heavily populated with other lions, her sense of safety was shot. the tiny lioness didn't live in a state of panic, she lived in a state of paranoid caution.

as such, she moved. often. having explored the tundra, smelled the violets of the glade, hunted in the woodlands, then trekked the dunes; she wanted to see what she could see, living nomadically and constantly looking over her shoulder. it was risky freedom and constant anxiety that ached in her chest.

she could stay a miniscule flick between the trees.
