HAWKSTRIKE

Hawkstrike, or Hawk for short, is a young lioness from Sisters Rock. She is the only one who survived the last litter of Twistbite that's why she is so small. Her litter came weak, with very few chances of survival. She is loud, easily distracted, impulsive, kind, and friendly, especially affectionate towards lions she knows. She also has a very playful and childlike nature. 

However, she transforms into a more serious, protective, and brave individual after losing her brother. She becomes even more protective when she adopts Mute as her son. Hawkstrike spends most of her time either exploring or relaxing near her friends.

Her relationship with her pride is quite positive, known for her significant hunting prowess and potential as a future hunt leader. She gets along well with both male and female members of the pride, occasionally having conflicts with her sister, Eclipse. Despite their differences, they love each other unconditionally.

Her closest bond is with Shining, a loving, quiet, and serious lioness who has been her soulmate since childhood. The pride is well aware of their romantic relationship, and it was even assumed by many before Hawkstrike realized and expressed her feelings to Shining.

🪶 Hawkstrike carries a feather from a hawk friend she made in her childhood. Her mother named her in honor of the hawk that saved her life but tragically died in the process.

🪶 Her mane causes her insecurity as it doesn't resemble that of a "normal" lioness.

🪶 Hawkstrike is excellent with cubs and often takes on the role of a nanny, despite being a skilled hunter.

🪶 She has no desire to have biological children with any lion, due to past experiences with Talon. Shining fiercely protects this decision.

🪶 She was the "favorite" of Talon when the Coalition arrived, but thanks to an agreement with Shining, Talon leaves her alone, as long as Shining fulfills the terms.
