Description

I shouldn't have...but I did :3

Name: August
Gender: Male
Age: Young Adult, but feels older than he is
Rank: Rejected Prince
Pride: N/A
Mate: ??

About August (and Dawn ;)): His mother, Orlina, had been the king's chosen mate...until he learned of her pregnancy with August. The king no longer held interest in Orlina and declared her unworthy to bear his royal heirs. Orlina was shunned by the other lionesses and was given the lowest rank possible. After the birth of August, Orlina spent most of her time away from the pride and raised him alone. The other lionesses wouldn't have helped anyway and could have potentially killed him.

She taught him everything she knew. Hunting, fighting, and the laws and ordinances of the kingdom. After she felt he was ready and he agreed, they rejoined the pride. The king, still enraged at Orlina's alleged infidelity, sought revenge against her...and aimed his attack at August. Despite Orlinda's screams for mercy, the king battered August with the intent to kill. At his mother's sorrowful request, August fled for his life. Although he desperately longed to kill the king, who kept his mother a slave, he knew he lost before the battle even started. August was pretty badly beaten. His breathing was ragged and he had a horrible limp, but he never stopped running.

Hours later he stumbled upon a quiet stream and although he was exhausted, he joyfully made his way down to drink and relax in it's cooling embrace. A rustle in the tall grass ahead of him made him pause nervously before he inched forward for a better look. Without a chance to react, a lioness backed up into August, sending him staggering backwards. With a short yelp she whipped around to face her opponent. With narrowed eyes and her ears pinned back, she growled at him, the fish in her jaws hindering her speech.
"Phut far foo hoing fere?"

He stared at her unable to make heads or tails of the situation. Not only did her words befuddle him but he couldn't help but stare. He hadn't seen very many lionesses during his life but out of the ones that he had, she had them all beat.
"W-what?" he asked.

"Phut far foo hoing fere?!" she repeated louder, making it harder for August to understand.

He politely fought back a grin, "I'm sorry, but I just can't understand you. Now if you don't mind, I'd just like to-"

She dropped the fish, "Seriously? I asked 'what are you doing here?', is that so hard to understand? Man, you just about gave me a heart attack!"

"I'm terribly sorry," he tried to bow but had to stop as it put too much strain on his wounded back and shoulder, "I had no intention to scare you, I simply wish to rest and I'll be on my way." He hobbled over to the stream and with the last pawstep, tripped, sending him face first into the water. The splash he created sent muddy water flying down on them in a fine shower. August painfully picked himself up and came face to face with the lioness, who looked just about as shocked as he felt. A moment passed before they both burst into laughter and a small water fight ensued.

"You know, you're alright," she chuckled, drenched. "What's your name?"

"August. You?"

"Dawn," she replied with a smile.

"It's been nice to meet you Dawn," he bowed his head in a polite gesture, "but I really need to get going." He had just hopped up over the bank of the stream when he was stopped in his tracks and knelt painfully.

For the first time, Dawn saw his wounds and proclaimed, "You're hurt! Why didn't you say anything?"

He frowned, puzzled. "That's funny...it's like...you helped me forget about it for awhile..."

"Please," she begged, "stay. At least until you get better."


He stayed...and he got better with each passing day, although the pain never seemed to go away...unless he was near Dawn. She somehow made him forget his troubles, even if for a little while. Though, he never saw it as something he had to do, he truly wanted to be near her. He wanted to see her smile, to join in on her hijinks, to make her happy at any cost.
So finally, one night he decided he was going to ask her... -TBA

Personality: Easy going, he doesn't let small stuff get him down.
Polite - he's always putting others in front of himself.
Trouble making tendencies - he's usually on his best behavior...but sometimes things just kinda happen :D
August: "It wasn't me!"

He's not very trusting of adult males, his past experience hasn't exactly created a pleasant view of them.
August is very sweet and caring, but has an aggression towards males (see above)

Other: Has chronic back and shoulder pain from his run-in with his almost stepfather.
Swears to not end up like his mother's ex-mate (the king).

Likes: mischief, water, lionesses - but none will ever compare to Dawn, cubs
Dislikes: rude lions, adult males, living alone


So much for a short little bio :D (I gots a little creative :o)
I LOVE August! :love:
