“Whether she likes to admit it or not, she’s been heavily scarred by the previous ruler and her family. Our king is paranoid and often worried of being overthrown, which is a good fear to have. I am her personal spy, I keep an eye and ear out for any whispers or gossip. I report back to the King, but there are somethings she doesn’t need to know…”
"Hmpf. Spider is a stranger to this pride, and a small one - so I don't think she can become king. She's honest and helpful enough to draw out the traitors that live around me. A king does need a solid advisor."
"Heh, it's good to see the King having such a good queen. But honestly, I don't think Peach likes me that much. Maybe it's because I'm "too stressful" or a bad influence on the king. But all I want is what's best for her, she's our king after all..."
"No I do not like Spider much at all. She is one of Whistlethorn's "spies" and the worst one. She fills my mate with more paranoia that she should be having to deal with and causing problems in general! No honor in these notions. I'd have half a mind to teach her a lesson again if she doesn't shape up."
“My parents dragged us to this pride and couldn’t care for us properly, so I ended up raising my little sister instead. She’s my only family, and I’d do anything to make sure she stays happy.”
“Spider is my older sister, I can always go to her if I there’s something wrong. But everyone else doesn’t seem to trust her for some reason…”
“Ackee is the King’s faithful follower, as am I. But she barely has a mind of her own, she’s loud, brash, and reckless. She is useful though, when it comes to… taking care of problems. If only she’ll listen to me half of the damn time.”
“One of my sister’s spies, a good subject, but Im not sure how loyal she is, sometimes I feel like the information she give is only partial, like she knows more… I always have an eye on her. For now, I tolerate her”
“I don’t really know much about Guava, but I know that she has the King’s glare when I past by and she’s quite stubborn. I do see potential in her, if only the King would name an heir.”
"My queen father does not like her, therefore I do not trust her. I know her tricks, I am not oblivious. My sight and hearing are sharp and I know what rumors she spreads. Catch the wrong rumor and someone innocent gets hurt. I nip those in the bud when I can."
“Mango is Peach’s beloved child and one of Passion’s friends. Therefore I am much more polite towards her and make sure she doesn’t do anything that can upset my sister. Other than that, I don’t think they’re a problem.”
“Dad doesn’t really like her much, and I don’t know why really. She’s Passion’s sister, so she’s gotta be cool too right? She hangs around Ackee a lot though so I try to stay away.”
“Acacia? Hmmmm… that one a is a tough one. I believe they can be useful, they’re strong and willing to go against his mother on somethings, but then again it’s my job to make sure they done get into too much trouble. Or better yet cause trouble for Whistle.”
“Another one of mothers spies. Our father Peach does not like her and so I don’t trust her quite a bit. She’s sly and has spun quite a web about many rumors and has got many exiled. I’m certain she doesn’t need rumors to try and get me exiled, I speak my mind no matter what.”
"Despite my general distrust of others, I found Reed to be trustworthy. He was sweet, caring, and exceptionally kind. I didn't actively pursue his affection, but he treated me significantly better than Peach or my king ever did, even if it was just politeness. Unfortunately, he was taken from the kingdom far too soon."

"It's fun to see Marula get frustrated when King Whistlethorn asks me for advice instead of her. I pity her, she is good at her job and used to work for the old king, but unfortunately for her... My advice is better and precise, Whistle wants to know who are the traitors, so I find them. Any way necessary."
"Being blind has taught me certain virtues: I cannot be deceived with calm demeanours and sweet words. I have no clue what this dipshit's planning, but my gut tells me it's nothing good."
"I don't see much of Jackalberry, and I don't really see him as a threat. But I always have my eyes on everyone."
"I think she is courting Ackee? I'm not sure, I see her hovering around my sister a lot but with Ackee it's hard to tell if she's annoyed or unsure of where she stands with Spider... Probably shouldn't jump to conclusions."
"Mud is one of my spies, my most loyal. I.. I will be honest and say that I have some sort of soft spot for him. He works the hardest and deserves a reward. Plus, he's good company."
"Miss Spider has some demons, hard to trust others. But in all honesty? She's caring, and fun to hang out with. I Honestly wish I could take all the worries from her and help her relax. I care about her, I want her happy."
"Jaunty is a... Eh, too bright for my spirits. For his namesake, he's very happy and energetic, but the information he brings to me is useful so I don't complain."
"Miss Spider? She's a crafty one! Likes it when we bring her news from other lion territories, so I make sure to say hi when we go past the Vibrant Valley!"
"Gentle is quiet, reserved, and very observant than my other spies, since others don't deem him as a threat they don't bother keeping secrets or worrying if he's listening in. Very useful one... He also gives me advice on different occasions. He's easy to talk to sometimes."
"...Spider only keeps us around because we gather information about other prides or lions for her... I think she just needs a break. Doesn't get to relax very often."
"...This one is annoying, not only does he tell me ridiculous information-- different lions who have different styles of manes or fur color-- but he keeps telling me that my fur is unhealthy. If he didn't travel with Gentle or Juanty I would've smacked him by now."
"Oh poor Spidy, mistress really needs a break- her fur and coat don't look healthy and I wish I could just give her a spa day. If only she'd listen and take my advance."
"Never in a million years, I'd think Ackee of all lionesses would have children... On purpose or not. But I help out the best I can, especially when Ackee goes off to be alone. Oleander is... well.. He's a bit of a troublemaker, wants his mother's attention and he gets into all sorts of trouble. Thankfully he's easy to distract when it comes to playing or listening to stories."
"SPIDER IS SO COOL! SHE TEACHS US A LOT OF COOL TRICKS!!! LIKE HOW TO HEAR PRIVATE CONVERSATIONS!!!"
"I understand why Ackee doesn't want to pay much attention to Ivy, he looks a lot like his father... But he's just a cub. Very sweet and quiet, I spend the most time with him. He's rather very observant and curious, which is a good skill to be a good spy. He doesn't talk much, but when he does I appreciate it when he does... I just hope I could be enough for him to be happy."
"I like Miss Spider, she's really nice with me, and with Privet... and with Oleander... we stay with her when mother took her long walks, she take care of us... I wish mom could be a bit more like her"
"Privet is interesting. She gets more attention from Ackee... Which I think is because she doesn't look like her parents at all, which is strange. But despite that, she's very balanced between her brothers and makes sure they stick together instead of fighting or getting into too much trouble. She's young but has a level head on her tiny shoulders... That makes me wonder if she's good enough to be a future king."
