.:. Motherly Shrinekeep .:.
Username: Tisiphone
Lioness's Name: Tahiri
Meaning: Ceremonially Clean
Personality:
She holds her position very seriously and wants to ensure that the next generation of lions understands and honors the Loa properly. She will not tolerate laziness, or lack of interest in the Loa. They are to be respected and revered.
Some what melancholy, she's never all together in a chipper mood. Her one and only pregnancy led to a stillbirth, and she still mourns her loss, visiting and ensuring that her childs Hounfor is kept in tidy order with many offerings.
Tahiri is kind, and does indeed take the time to learn everything she possibly can from the deceased family so she can lay proper items on the deceased Hounfor.
History:
Tahiri spent her cubhood mooning over the Hounfor and how wonderful they were, they were completely beautiful in her eyes. Her parents saw potential for her to become a Shrinekeeper and quizzed her about each Loa's preferences and which family they belonged to. When she grew to juvenile age she was taken on as an apprentice.
During her late adolescence she met a lion who she took as a mate named Waapon, he wasn't very bright, but he was kind and appeared to be idealistic about the future. As they grew however, his ideas did not fit into her plan on how life should be. He was angering the Loa by considering himself a Houngan -he believed that he would not need any training.
Tahiri would not allow for her mate to anger the Loa and bring shame to her, and in a fit of anger and desperation she asked a Medsey Fey for a poison. She'd explained that it was to be laid as an offering at the Hounfor of a Caplata that was fond of the potion.
She used this potion to kill her mate. However - she does not believe she was breaking a rule/no one is aware that she is the cause of death. She does not believe it was the wrong thing to do, however she does believe taking a life is wrong/taboo.
She views the loss of her cub as the punishment for taking a life, and wears the child's bones in reminder of what she has done.
Prompt Number: 2
Prompt Response:
Tahiri's light eyes rest on one of the younger shrinekeepers "My mate? Why do you ask? It's a sad story, but I'll tell ye, if that's what you're looking for. His name was Waapon, but I've always called him Wazo, it means 'ideas'. He was full of them! Started thinking that he was above traditions and that he did not have to follow what the loa wanted. It wasn't always that way, he started out respectful and kind, he was a gatherer, mind not a very good one. But, he got it into that head of his that he was going to be houngan, whether they would initiate him or not." She only paused a moment in her monologue, after all the juvenile asked the initial question, and she would get the whole story.
"Like a fool, Wazo started trying to summon the Loa by himself, with none of the training he woulda needed as a houngan. I'm sure that is what killed him. He angered the Loa, and brought shame to himself, shame to us. One day after coming back from the gathering he set down a meal for me. Then it seemed as if snakes were coiling in his belly, he howled with pain and frustration, unable to move." She paused yet again, allowing the horrid story of her past be a teaching tool to the next generation, so they will not anger the Loa.
"He died a long time later, writhing in agony because of his stupidity, and his ideas.I hold anger toward him."
"I could only take another mate if they were respectful to our Loa and to our ancestors."

Excuse me for suddenly disappearing. I had to reboot my computer and then eat dinner.
And yeah, I could always do that but I don't want to wind up applying for all of them because I'll still just have to make up my mind anyway on who I'd want to keep if I won... Maybe just two... or three. *shot*
I'm pretty sure that I want to try for the old caplata, but then I've got to decide on who else... =o
