.:. Secretive Medsen Fey .:.
Username: Dulcea
Lioness's Name: Babirye
Meaning: “two people”
Personality: On the surface Babirye appears stable. She feels the usual pressures surrounding her odd place in the pride, but deals with them well. As night approaches she becomes nervous, feeling the familiar apprehension that leads up to her troubles. She will shut herself away from those she does not yet trust, only adding to the suspicions. She loves the Wise Medsen Fey with all of her heart for how he has helped her, but respects the differences that predicate their working relationship. She will find it difficult to relate to other females within the pride, and harder to form romantic bonds. Overall she will be most comfortable when working or visiting hounfor, and will often send small monkeys to bring her orders rather than delivering them herself.
History: Born to a mother who suffered from the same disorder, she never really had a normal childhood. As the oldest of the litter she spent much of her time trying to soothe her siblings and the stress took a toll on her. She began to show symptoms as a juvenile, intermittent fits that escalated the more she worried. Her mother did not want her father to discover that one of their cubs had inherited and sent her away to live with an aunt. She never made it there, caught in a storm after barely a week of travels. The fits hit her hard that night and her screams drew the attentions of the nearby wise medsen fey. When asked her name she lied, giving herself the moniker Babirye.
What's her secret?: She suffers from trance-like seizures that must be controlled with and herbal concoction taught to her by the Wise Medsen Fey. During these trances she is not herself, shouting as is possessed. Being born outside the pride she does not believe that her troubles come from the loa, though her thoughts have begun to sway as she adjusts to her new home.

.:. Flirty Poupe .:.
Username: YourxStarlessxEyes
Lion's Name: Landry
Meaning: “Ruler” (French/English)
Personality: Landry is very laid back. He generally goes with the flow of things and doesn’t let things ruffle his fur. He prefers to enjoy life more, to make sure he gets everything he can out of it. He loves attention and thinks he’s the life of the party, which is generally why he likes to chase the girls. He enjoys being able to control the flow of events and the tide of others opinions by his own abilities. Landry doesn’t like to appear dependent on anyone, because he doesn’t like to be attached to people, which some may credit to the deaths of his parents. He prefers to free fall through life, not paying attention to what is unpleasant or uncomfortable. He does love his position as a Poupe, but something about it has been unnerving him lately, although he doesn’t show it.
History: Landry’s parents died only a few years ago, and up until then he had a normal cubhood in the pride. He does miss his parents sometimes, but he doesn’t let it get him down or let it make him feel sorry for himself. Starting from an early age, he started feeling like things were following them, or whispering in his head, but no one was ever there. He learned this was his connection to the Loa, which he never questioned, because he was always content to just believe what he was told. When he learned it meant he could have an easy job capitalizing on what he already did effortlessly, he was pleased. And he did enjoy the attention, both from the pride members and those above, and he basked in the glow of being one of the special, chosen ones. Unfortunately, the Petro and Nago Loa seem to prefer him, and the job isn’t exactly what he imagined. In fact, the Loa who possess him often scare Landry, not that who would ever let anyone know.
Prompt Number: Prompt One
Prompt Response: Landry yawned, slinking into the cave where he had agreed to meet the Mambo. When he squinted into the gloom, all he saw was a luminous glare coming at him. Startling in his mind, Landry kept his cool facade, appearing unperturbed. “Where have you?” been growled the Mambo. Looking at her quizzically, Landry cocked his head. “What are you talking about?” he queried, unconcerned and almost bored.
The older lioness advanced on the Poupe. “Look at the sun, boy, the sun! It is after noon! You were up all night flirting with the lionesses and distracting the Shrinekeeps, weren’t you?” she hissed with distaste. “You are hopeless, a slacking flirt who won’t take anything seriously! Why should any of us bother with you?” “Hey old woman,” Landry retorted, seeming angry. “I’m just enjoying my youth while I have it. I take my job plenty seriously, but I do it on my own terms. I won’t be manhandled by old hags like you!” he spat as he flounced off.
Inside, Landry was shaking. He was so stupid! He did this every time. He was always late, always unable to concentrate, always messing up. But he just couldn’t admit to being at fault. It didn’t go with his image, and the cocky things he said just leaped out of his mouth before he could stop them, now just a habit, a reflex. And this was bad, it was so bad. The Mambos and Houngans and other summoners were the only ones who could help him, protect him from the Loa who were beginning to terrify him so badly. And all he could do was alienate and insult the only people who could appease the spirits. But with the way he was going at things, he could consider himself alone, at the mercy of the Loa who prowled around his consciousness.

All right, guys, this contest is closed!
I'm gonna finish updating all the lists, then I'll begin judging.
I'm hoping to have the results out by Sunday night before I leave for Disney, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to. So the results will be either this weekend
or next weekend. I'll post an announcement in the thread title when winners have been announced.
Then after the winners have been announced, I'll roll the raffles.
THANK YOU ALL FOR ENTERING!
