RP Contest Girl
Cub's Name: Pisim'ochem (loosely 'sun kissed' in Cree)
Personality: Pisim is an outgoing, determined, curious, and excitable young lioness. She is eager to learn and explore and to try new things. She will grow into being a good hunter, and a good storyteller, due to her inquisitive nature and determination. She is carefree in general attitude, but calculated in her decisions and actions.
Prompt Response:Pisim had been wandering about, not too far from mother and home, although she loved to explore already. She had followed a big beetle, chasing it and batting at it when she came close enough. The young lioness had wanted to see how it looked up close, but it took off every time she tried to look at it, so she had turned it into a game of tag instead. Pisim was very good to play by herself, even though she mostly liked playing with other cubs better. Sometimes they weren't curious about the things that she was, and so she opted to play by herself. It hadn't been too long before she had come upon some other cubs who were playing, and once they had spotted her, they were calling her over to play with them. This was a strange decision for the young lioness to make, as she considered the words of her mother and her aunt.
On one hand, her mother would have called her back, wary of letting her around the other cubs, unsure of how they would act toward her darling precious cub. On the other, her aunt would certainly encourage her to go and play with them, have fun and maybe get a little dirty. This left the little lioness contemplating what to do. She wanted to listen to her mother and be a good girl, but sometimes mother's rules and worries were restrictive to Pisim's outgoing and exploratory personality. She looked back toward where home was, just barely able to see her mother tending her brothers and sisters, and then back to the other cubs calling her over.
"Eh, no harm no foul!" The small yellow lioness said to herself, shrugging and sneaking toward them as she double-checked to see if her mother was watching. She was so curious to get to know her pride-mates, especially the ones her own age, Pisim was dying to socialize. Perhaps she would follow Aunty's way today, and what mother didn't know wouldn't hurt her!
Just as Pisim began to slink off toward the other cubs, pouncing off toward them with a big grin spread across her features, she heard mother's voice from back at the den. "Pisim'ochem, you come back here! It's time for your bath you sneaky little lioness!"
The tiny yellow lioness sank, and with a distraught look toward the other cubs, who had also heard her mother calling, and a look of embarassment on her features as they laughed over her being called by her mother, she turned tail reluctantly to go back.
Next time...Pisim thought to herself, returning to her mother. Next time.
