Arria
Name: Arria
Gender: Female
Species: Lion
Age: 3 years
Pride: Pridelanders
Position: Pride Sister; participates in hunts, no mate
Family: Unknown
Mate: None
Young: None
Appearance: As implied by her name, which is derived from the Swahili language, meaning "slim" or "lean", Arria is a lioness of a fairly small build. She is both shorter and less bulky than most other lionesses her age, but this size deficiency does not go so far as to detract from her hunting or fighting ability.
With a light coat of brown fur and lavender-blue eyes, she is considered among the more "exotic" looking lionesses of the pride. Unlike most others in the pride, her fur color is entirely solid; that is to say, her underbelly and paws are of the same color as the rest of her fur.
Personality: A more carefree soul than one might expect, Arria prides herself in her mild detachment. Some consider it a weakness of hers for lack of focus, but her personal take on the matter is that it helps to keep her from becoming too wrapped up in "reality" and missing out on something due to emotional instability. Well, you can hardly argue with the results: Arria is a fine hunter and a decent fighter, and she is happily content in her singularity.
She is perfectly content with life as is, and doesn't see the need to dwell on what you don't have when what you do have is more than enough to keep you happy. For this reason, some come to the conclusion that Arria has no dreams or aspirations in life, which is far from the truth. She is simply content that those dreams may or may not ever actually come true.
History: Will finish later...
Skills: Will finish later...

Arria: (altered for RP: Kopa's Captivity)
Name: Arria
Gender: Female
Species: Lion
Age: 3 years
Pride: Enclosure Pride
Family: Biological family unknown; Arria does, however, consider every lion in the enclosure to be family
Mate: None
Young: None
Appearance: Unchanged; small build, solid light brown fur, lavender-blue eyes
Personality: Unchanged; carefree (rarely a worrier), mildly detached from reality, content (oftentimes dreamily so) with her life just as it is
History: As she was brought into the enclosure at a very young age, not much is known about her family or past home. She was brought to the enclosure not long after birth (for what reason is uncertain) and thus wasn't brought into the enclosure itself till later on in life. Raised for the first few weeks amongst the humans, she has seen and can occasionally recall what certain buildings outside the enclosure look like on the inside.
Skills: Though she will nearly always avoid physical conflict, this does not mean she is unable to fight. Prone to rely on speed, as opposed to power.
Being as small and light as she is, she is quick on her feet and a better tree-climber than most lionesses; she sometimes jokes that her mother (whoever she was) was a leopard, rather than a lioness.
(may add more later...)
I look forward to RPing with her!
