## Main Information

Lunis is the main protagonist of the series The Stolen Hope. She is the daughter of Queen Hesia and King Augustus, and is the sister to Apollo.

## Appearance

Lunis is a cat with tan fur with a neon seafoam green stripe spanning from the top of her snout to the top of her tail. She has two neon seafoam green streaks that come out of her eyes. She has a cut in her ear and a couple of scars on her body. She is sleek, tall and slim. Until Episode 14, she wears necklace with a red gem on it. Her eyes are blue, and when they are under the Light Curse, the scleras become dark blue and her irises emit blue wisps. When they are under the Dark Curse, the scleras also become dark blue, but her irises become bright red, and they emit red wisps.

## Relationships

### Apollo

Lunis is very close with her brother. While the two of them seem to bicker with each other quite often, they do it out of a place of love for each other.

### Iris

In the beginning of the series, Lunis was very close with Iris. After finding out about the truth of her real parents, Lunis deeply resented Iris for her poor choices. After giving it rethought, Lunis deeply regrets how she behaved towards her adoptive mother, and mourned her death.

### Lucas

Lunis was very close with Lucas, and was heartbroken at his death.

### Queen Hesia

Pre-episode 5, Lunis only viewed Hesia as an authoritative figure. After learning that Hesia was her real mother, she felt sadness and anger, but soon realized that those emotions were misguided. Episode 11 and on, she loved her mother greatly and wanted to rekindle their relationship.

### King Augustus

Pre-episode 5, Lunis only viewed Augustus as an authoritative figure. After learning that Augustus was her real father, she felt sadness and anger, but soon realized that those emotions were misguided. Not many scenes were shown between the two, but it can be inferred that she loved Augustus, and mourned his death.

### Vesta

Vesta is Lunis' best friend, and the cat she is closest to next to Jackson. They support each other through anything, and have an overall positive relationship, even defending one another when the time is right.

### Jackson

Lunis and Jackson immediately hit it off as friends, but had a rough patch in their relationship. Even though the two had a nasty fight, they forgave one another and became closer than ever. Lunis was heartbroken at his "death" and visited him regularly while recovering. She was one of the first to forgive him when everyone learned about his dark past. It's clear the two love each other deeply.

### Vivian

Lunis and Vivian seemed to always have an unspoken tension between the two, but deep down Lunis pitied her for her parental neglect. Lunis even offered to help her when Vivian was attacking her, but after learning about Augustus' death, that concern faded into anger.

### Caroline

From the scenes that we are shown, the two have a positive relationship.

### General Dusk

At first, Lunis viewed Dusk as an authoritative figure, but over time the two became close. Dusk often reassured Lunis, and even became a maternal figure for her during her life. The two have a very close bond.

### Venus

From the scenes that we are shown, the two have a positive relationship.

### Freya

From the scenes that we are shown, the two have a positive relationship.

### Sharp

From the scenes that we are shown, the two have a positive relationship.

### Ares

At first, Lunis seemed to trust Ares, but after seeing what he was capable of, this trust blossomed into hate and fear. Lunis despises Ares for all the horrific things he's done to Iris, Hesia, Augustus, Jackson, Vivian, Apollo, and the Lights. She views him as scum, and wishes to see his reign end. She often cannot control her anger around him.

### Vixy

Lunis used to trust Vixy, but after seeing the things she could do, she began to hate and fear her.

## Personality

Lunis starts off the series easily irritable, often fed up with her brother's shenanigans. Even so, she seems to be calm and polite around those she cares about. She occasionally has a sense of humor, but through the series this is only seen a handful of times. She is unconfident in her abilities, and often lashes out when upset/stressed.

It is clear she struggles severely with her trauma, often acting negatively to those around her when having an episode. However, she can be calmed easily. If roles are reversed, she will always be there to comfort her friends. She is fiercely defensive of her friends and her beliefs, sometimes a little too much.

As she ages, she grows more mature and controls her outbursts easier. Even if she seems upset through the series, it's clear she has a normally positive personality that has just been plagued by trauma.

## Episode Appearances

### Episode 1

Lunis is listening to a story being told by Lucas and Iris right before leaving to go train as soldiers. She and her brother Apollo have a quick moment of banter with one another, before both of them leave to go get ready.

Lunis is greeted by her best friend Vesta, and Vesta insists on giving Lunis a makeover, to which Lunis agrees. She opens her eyes to see her new look, and even tears up at it. Vesta and Lunis tell each other they will meet up soon, and Vesta comforts Lunis about saying goodbye to her parents.

Lunis has a tearful departure from her parents.

### Episode 2

Queen Hesia and Lunis have a tense moment of eye contact, and the Queen leaves abruptly, confusing Lunis. Even the High Rank, Caroline, is confused with the Queen's behavior, but dismisses it. The group is told to split up, and Vesta, Apollo, and Lunis team up. Lunis demands that they need to go to Caroline, but Lunis personally wants to go to learn more about Queen Hesia's mysterious behavior. She ventures off in front of her friends.

### Episode 3

Lunis is rushing through the forest to get to the HR bases, but is quickly forced to a stop when she runs head first into Jackson. The two exchange brief banter, until Lunis' posse arrives, followed by Jackson's. Vivian and Caesar are introduced to Vesta and Apollo.

Lunis asks where Jackson, Vivian, and Caesar are off to and they reply that they are heading to Caroline. Before she knows it, Lunis is pulling Vesta away from attacking Vivian, and reassures her that if Vivian provokes her again, she can do whatever she wants.

Later in the evening, the group arrives at Caroline's quarters, but Lunis stays behind to ask her about Queen Hesia's strange behavior. This spooks Caroline, and Lunis can see that she is behaving oddly. Caroline awkwardly asks her to ignore it, and to go to bed, much to Lunis' confusion.

During the night, Lunis has a nightmare with several scary figures. She wakes up scared, confused, and out of breath from stress. As she goes outside to get some fresh air, she sees Apollo and Vesta sitting next to one another stargazing.

The next day, Apollo wakes up Vesta and Lunis abruptly. The two are still tired and scold Apollo for being so rude. After the group wakes up, they venture down to where Caroline is, and begin training. Caroline asks them questions about Light history, but Lunis just sits in the back with an unamused expression, clearly still tired.

### Episode 4

The group walks to the next trainee stations. Jackson and Lunis are having a conversation. While it was not seen in the actual episodes, Vivian made several insults to Lunis and Apollo about their family, which is now the point of conversation betwen the two. Lunis is unbothered by it, which sparks a deeper conversation.

Lunis talks a little bit about her mother and father, and Jackson does the same, only his story is much darker. The conversation has an awkward end, and Lunis is clearly empathetic towards his situation.

The scene cuts to General Dusk talking to the group. Apollo makes a joke that he used to beat Lunis in fights all the time as kits, and Lunis rebukes his statement, but is quickly cut off. Jackson makes a joke about Apollo to Lunis. The group must split into pairs, and Lunis and Jackson team up. After their mock-fight, Lunis comments on Vesta's fighting style, saying she "only gets like this when she's jealous", alluding to the situation from last episode.

Later on, Vesta excitedly tells Lunis that General Dusk is considering promoting her to battle lines, much to Lunis' approval. The group arrives at Sharp and Venus' training station, and Lunis is chosen as one of the three cats to be "spies". The mock-spy training begins, and Lunis and her brother are the last two to finish, which pleases the HR's.

After Venus makes a lighthearted joke about the war, this sets Jackson off into a confused frenzy. Lunis tries to calm him down and explain the situation, but it just confuses Jackson even more. Lunis then goes into deep detail about the history of the war. As she finishes, Caroline arrives explaining that the Queen and King wish to meet her.

She is cut off mid sentence when Queen Hesia and King Augustus arrive. Augustus asks about Lunis' necklace, which makes her anxious. She nervously gives it to Hesia. When the King and Queen begin asking about their past, Apollo and Lunis are very confused.

Suddenly, Hesia reveals Iris isn't their true mother, and the camera pans to a shocked Lunis. Lunis soon begins to get angry after hearing the news, and questions the validity of their claim. Things escalate, and Lunis calls Hesia and Augustus liars. She storms out of the castle.

As Lunis is racing through the forest, she runs into Vixy. When Vixy asks about Lunis' necklace, Lunis has an outburst, accidentally telling more than she should. This pleases Vixy, and when Vixy explains that Lunis is a weapon, Lunis becomes intrigued.

In the next scene, Lunis seems bitter at the King and Queen, clearly victim to Ares and Vixy's manipulation. She agrees to train with them in a few days, and she leaves to go find Iris.

Lunis arrives at her childhood home to confront her adoptive mother. Iris seems clueless about everything, but once Lunis reveals Apollo's wherabouts, Iris begins to get squirrely. Lunis' eyes are now red, revealing she has been given a variation of the Dark Curse. She explodes, screaming insults at Iris, but Iris defends herself and tells Lunis the reason for doing what she did. This shuts Lunis down, and she leaves angrily, telling her mother to Burn, and giving her a large scratch on her eye.

As Lunis is walking back, she hears the voice of Lucas. Quietly, she peers through the bushes, only to discover Ares and Vixy ambushing him. Lunis watches in horror as Ares and Lucas argue. Lucas dies in front of Lunis, and Lunis flees the scene. She falls into an open clearing, sobbing at her adoptive father's death.

In another scene, Lunis does not appear, but is mentioned by Ares and Jackson through a joke about Jackson and Lunis' "intimate" relationship.

Caroline arrives in Lunis' den, where Lunis is clearly distraught. Caroline tells Lunis that she must learn about Iris' history, whether she likes it or not. She tells Lunis that Iris did bare children, but with Ares, which sets Lunis off. Caroline firmly tells her that Iris was a victim of manipulation, and loved Lunis as if she were her own flesh and blood, while telling the rest of Iris' story. She tells her that Lunis needs to redirect her anger towards Ares, not Iris, and leaves her to grieve.

Jackson comes home to see Lunis sitting outside, and scolds her for disappearing. Lunis stays quiet, which concerns Jackson, and he eventually gets her to explain why she's upset. After Lunis tells Jackson everything, he reassures her that he will always be there for her, but a crack of lightning and thunder interrupts him mid sentence. The two laugh it off, and depart ways, both of them blushing.

### Episode 9

Lunis does not appear in this scene, but is mentioned. Apollo must be her bodyguard. A sequence of images appear revealing a new conflict between her and the Lights.

In another scene, Vivian teases Jackson about his crush on Lunis, calling her his "little girly-friend", and telling him not to deny it. When Ares tells Vivian and Jackson their battle tasks, Jackson is tasked with assassinating Lunis, to which he nervously refuses.

Lunis is sharpening her claws with battle equipment, and Jackson comes in. When he asks what she's doing, she reveals the impending battle. Jackson is squeamish , which frustrates Lunis. She begins spewing insults, and then he does the same, turning into his hell-demon form. The fight ends when Lunis demands to never see him again, and the two angrily part ways.

Lunis learns that his wounds are caked in mud, and realizes two cats were in the battle with dirt on their fur. She is interrupted mid thought by a concerned Vivian, asking to see Jackson. Lunis tells her that she can't see him right now, and it's probably best to leave, but Vivian refuses, causing a fight to break out between the two. Vivian leaves angrily.

2 months later, the King and Queen recruit Lunis, Apollo, Vesta, Venus, Freya, Vivian, Sharp, Caroline, and Dusk for a spy mission, as they have just discovered a tunnel that leads into Dark territory. When Vivian seems suspiciously excited about this, Lunis glares suspiciously at her.

As he begins to count down, he opens his eyes to see her gone, only to be grabbed by Ares and both thrown to the ground.

Lunis angrily questions what Ares and Vixy want with them, and Apollo begs her to shut up. Ares orders Vixy to shut him up, and she drags him away.

Dusk begins training with Lunis, trying to strengthen her battle moves and formation. It starts off rocky, and Dusk corrects her errors. The training restarts and Lunis is already rapidly improving. Dusk amps up the training, and starts making comments that she knows will get under Lunis skin, all in the name of activating her curse. Lunis unleashes her blue flame, and pins Dusk. The two have light-hearted banter, and walk away from the scene teasing one another.

Lunis desperately tries to get through to Vivian, but she is pinned. Lunis smacks her paw against her nose to get Vivian off, and offers to help Vivian, despite the hurt she's caused. This just causes Vivian to reveal the death of King Augustus. Lunis is shocked about hearing the news of his murder as Vivian gloats about her victory. Her light curse is unleashed, and she attacks Vivian, clamping down on her neck and throwing her into a tree branch, killing her.

Ares mentions Lunis briefly, explaining that she must die in order to win the war.

Jackson, Vesta, and Apollo all scour the woods to find Lunis, tracking her scent. Apollo tries to lure her out with maple sap, mentioning it's her favorite snack, much to Vesta's frustration. Apollo eventually finds Lunis hiding behind a rock, commenting on her poor hiding skills. Vesta comforts her, asking why she's so far, to which Lunis just buries her face in her fur.

Ares quickly manipulates her, but Dusk snaps her out of his control, creating a wall of blue flame between the two. Ares leaps over the flame and bites her throat. Jackson kicks him off of her, but when Ares manipulates Jackson to back down, she pins Ares down, reminding him of all of his crimes. Ares screams that "[Lunis] should be dead", and cuts her throat.
