About

Appearance

Lion is a pale orange tabby with darker orange stripes and a paler orange belly. His eyes are amber.

He likes to wear vests and bandanas, his favorites being a black vest with a painted flame design on the bottom and an orange and yellow gradient bandana.

Personality

Lion is hyper and high energy, always eager to get to the next thing. He always thinks on the bright side, being very optimistic. He hates it when those he loves are down and tries to use this optimism to help them out. He doesn’t often think before he leaps and gets in trouble as a result often. However, he can be a little bit of a coward, wanting to run rather than face a problem. His time as Guardian has helped temper this somewhat.

History

Due to wanderlust, Lion left his home, eventually grouping with Bluestorm, Ebony, and Coal, who he thinks of as his siblings. Together, they lived in an abandoned home in the woods until an angry human chased them away. They fled into the woods where they had thought to be their new home—that is, until they came across a hedge circle in the middle of said woods. Upon investigating, in the middle was a pit that smelled of water and stardust. A powerful force began to pull Lion in but, despite their best efforts, the four were pulled into it and through to the land of Saturnia.

After their adventures, the four are invited as Guardians of Saturnia to which they accept.

Skills

Aligned with Fire, Lion has a powerful control of fire, able to manipulate it in various ways, which is rare among Saturnians. However, unlike the Knights, his magical well, while above average, is not nearly inexhaustible like theirs. He can control lightning to a much lesser degree but this gradually disappears when Obsidian is Knighted.

Trivia

• Lion is one of my oldest characters, conceived in 2006! His design and name is based on a cat I had.
