Nafsiari feels no hatred or resentment towards her mother, however, due to having never really known her. Her first memories are of who she calls her 'real family' - another lionness, who shortly came along and adopted the youngster into her currently small litter of one. Firna was a stronger, more mature lionness, and raising two cubs by herself wasn't as much of a struggle. Cynerubor was the name of Siari's new sister, although it never seemed like they were sisters. Nafsiari always had a close bond with Firna and Cynerubor, but at the same time always felt a little out of place. She knew she didn't fit really - her bright coat held no similarities with her 'familys' darker coats, and as such she was much more timid and shy, afraid to speak incase her words were out of turn.
However, the pair of 'siblings' grew, maturing quickly into fine young lionness'. Nafsiari was always smaller and weaker than her larger, bolder Cynerubor, but the older lionness always looked out for Siari, showing her a fondness that went a little beyond sibling love. It was spring, and the two were attracted not to males as young adults should be - but to each other. However, this attraction wasn't to become apparent until one, fateful day.
Both were still young - they were adults, fully grown and matured, but still in the prime of life. It was obviously for this reason that the male was attracted to them, stalking through the savannah for females to help him spread his heritage. Unfortunately for Siari and Cyn, they were the two that caught his attention - and being young, that only made them keep his attention, sadistic thoughts dancing through his head. He approached the two - Cynerubor saw him approaching first. Just his stance was enough to worry her, and she called for her mother.
Firna was quickly slain in the commencing scuffle, the male finding her too elderly to be attractive. Instead, he turned to a petrified Siari - yes, she would do nicely. Her bright coat would mix well with his, and she'd produce pretty children. Unable to move, Nafsiari could only watch in horror as he approached her. He was quickly upon her, his weight too much for her to bear as her frail body quickly collapsed under his weight, irriating him into swiping out. Claws met blood as he raked across her face, which would eventually develop into a scar. It was just as he was forcing her up that Cynerubor acted - she leapt at the male with a blood-curling roar, pure anger clouding her vision as she slashed and snarled, sinking her teeth down into whatever flesh of his was closest. Even the male, who was large for a lion, didn't stand a chance again Cyn's anger. She was quick to return to her lover's side - for that she was sure of, now. She loved Nafsiari.
The two were quick to leave, bad memories haunting them. In was Cyn who nursed Siari out of a petrified state, and Cyn who first heard of the Antianeir. It sounded perfect - no males was just what the pair needed, as Nafsiari was now terrified of them. Cynerubor wasn't terrified, but felt that same anger rising in her again whenever one came near, and as such felt it was safest for her to travel with her mate to the Antianeira. And so, that is where they are now.
