Vicious

***Spoiler Warning:** This article contains spoilers for the comic!*

> Come to think of it, I do have a name for you. Since you decided you were too smart to listen to your mother, and got yourself nearly killed, I've concluded who you are. You are ***hopeless***.

### Mate(s):

Jasper

**Vicious** is one of the antagonists in the webcomic, *I Hope So*. She is the mother of Hopeful, Adamant and Quiet and the mate of Jasper. She is currently Queen of the Golden Grove.

## Summary

> *Vicious is Jasper's favorite female, and has given him the most litters. She has a short fuse and if you make her angry, run. After seeing how she keeps trespassers away from her pride in order to protect her family, it's not hard to see why they named her Vicious.*
>
>

## Appearance

Vicious a lioness with an orangish-gold coat. She has three dusty brown stripes going from her brow to the back of her neck. Her ear rims, upper lids, nose, and tail tip are dark brown. She has white lower lids. The back of her front legs and the front of her back legs are a light tan like her muzzle, neck, and underbelly.

## Personality

Vicious lives up to her name, doing her best to keep Hope insecure and dependent. She's not much kinder to her other daughters, who she insists deserve Jasper's abuse. Her sole positive act was saving Hope from being culled at birth, but it's likely this was less out of compassion than a desire to avoid the 'failure' of having a litter with no surviving cubs. Notably, her nastiness increases as Hope grows up and becomes more than a glorified trophy.

Vicious' abusive and apathetic behaviour towards her family leads them to call her out for it and turn their back on her. While her behaviour could tie to her relationship with her mate, Jasper, such as defending and excusing his actions to a large degree, even if they're vile (a common symptom of being within an abusive relationship), she is still no less emotionally abusive and refuses to show responsibility or remorse over her own actions and poor treatment of her family.

## Trivia

* Name meaning:
	+ Vicious: *"To be deliberately cruel or violent."*

The Great King & Traveller

The **Great King** and the **Traveller** are the terms that the lions use for the sun and the moon respectively. Both of these figureheads - and they are figureheads, not “gods” - serve as heroes for both the pride lions and those without a pride.

“Religion” as a concept does not exist in the world of I Hope So. The lions have no religious deities of any description and there is no heaven (or hell). They believe in an endless cycle of reincarnation, when the Traveller comes to confirm their ‘journey’ (i.e. life) has ended and they are then reborn under the King’s watchful eye to begin a new one. It's important to note that this cycle is not karmic and that no matter how terrible a lion might've been in life, they'll be born anew.

Despite being looked up to by differing sides of lion society, both the King and the Traveller complement each other as sun and moon, life and death, light and shadow.

## The Great King

>     *The Great King is a wise, treasured leader who led their pride through many trials and disasters and ultimately gave up their life so that all prides may benefit from their guidance and warmth. Their gender is not known. While they are known as a "king", it's worth noting that both lions and lionesses can adopt the title in the world of I Hope So.*
>
>

**The Great King** is a folklore figure representing life, light, and guidance. Their theme song is My Walden by Nightwish.

## The Traveller

>     *The Traveller is a lioness who serves as a folk heroine for prideless lions. She is a folk heroine whose tales are told to prideless cubs to teach them guidance and independence. Her role is similar to that of El-ahrairah, the famed "Prince of Rabbits" from Watership Down. She is a figurehead of journeys, destinations and storytelling. It is said that - in the final days of her life - she travelled to the ends of the earth and eventually ascended to the sky, which is where she currently resides and travels to this day.*
>
>

**The Traveller** is a folklore figure representing death, darkness and freedom. Her theme song is Storytime by Nightwish. She is voiced by Loganne Digma in the official comic dub.

## Trivia

* Both the Traveller and the Great King are bisexual.

Terminology

## Lion Terminology

The prides of *I Hope So* generally follow medieval society and titles, so this means that the ruling body are generally called Kings and Queens, their children are Heirs and they are protected by a trusted Knight, who also has a Squire apprenticed to them. However, some prides have titles that may not appear in other prides or a different ranking system and society altogether.

## Non-Lion Terminology

In the world of *I Hope So*, all felids - lions, leopards, cheetahs and so on - share the same language and understand each other. A language barrier exists with other species, however, so all the lions can make out are the sounds that we as humans would hear. This leads them to have their own terminology for other creatures, often based on their behavior, appearance (i.e. a zebra is a 'stripe-coat') or the sounds they make (i.e. a hyena sounds like it is cackling, so it is called a "cackler").
Adamant

**Adamant** is a deuteragonist in the webcomic, *I Hope So*. She was one of the heirs of Jasper and Vicious within the Golden Grove but left to become a Traveller alongside Hopeful and Storm.

## Summary

> *Adamant is the strongest Heir of Jasper and Vicious and is therefore certainly a favourite. However, her relationship with her parents is just as problematic as Hopeful's in the essence that she is constantly pushed to be the very best and is frequently challenged by her father in a bid to keep her strength up. Due to this, Adamant has quite the attitude, equal to a lion that has lived twice as long as her. Nevertheless, she is fiercely loyal to her littermate, Quiet, despite their completely opposite personalities."*

The Cleansing Desert

The **Cleansing Desert** is a location in the comic, *I Hope So*. It is a vast, empty desert that stretches from one side of the region to the other. It is dangerous due to frequent sandstorms and very few animals flourish there, including the exiled hyenas of the Golden Plains.

Its first "official" appearance was in Chapter 12, when Jasper lures Clever to the edge of his kingdom. The sands of it can be seen where the grass of the Golden Plains falters out.

It is also seen in Chapter 15, as it is one of the locations that Fade visits in his search for Hopeful, Adamant and Storm.

Quiet

***Spoiler Warning:** This article contains spoilers for the comic!*
> That was amazing, Adamant!
>
> **Quiet** to Adamant, Chapter 5: Last Chance

**Quiet** is a deceased side character in the webcomic, *I Hope So*. She resided in the Golden Grove as heir to Jasper and Vicious.

## Summary

> *Youngest sister of the pride. She was pretty unsure of herself, until she was out on the prowl, then she was really in her element, showing the utmost patience when hunting. She got walked over by her older sister Adamant, but had proven to be very independent when left to her own devices. Nonetheless, the two sisters shared a close bond and were rarely seen without each other.*
>
>

## Appearance

Quiet was a golden-brown lioness with a pale stripe on her forehead that ran down her neck. Her ear rims were a dark brown, as was her upper right lid and nose. Her inner ear fur, left lids, muzzle, chest, and underbelly were tan. Her baby spots were a dusty brown and she retained a freckle-like pattern on her face. She had striking orange eyes.

## Personality

True to her name, Quiet doesn't talk much and usually sticks with her more unyielding older sister Adamant. While she has a rather low self-esteem, she proves to be an incredibly skilled and competent hunter, being able to stealthily catch prey and show incredible patience during hunts.

At first, Quiet (along with Adamant) made fun of Hope for not being able to hunt with them. However, despite this, she and Adamant do seem to genuinely care about her, soon showing respect for their oldest sister after she tries to take down a zebra (an event that nearly kills her) and compliment her for it. Subsequently, Quiet and Adamant have had a much better relationship with Hope, offering her to go to hunts with them, as "it's more fun competing with someone", and generally spending more time together, with Hope becoming very protective of them. Both Quiet and Adamant grimaced at the cruel name ("Hopeless") Vicious had given to their sister.

Quiet is also implied to have a liking for singing which she used to cheer Adamant up when the latter got her head stuck in a scurrier hole during their cubhood, though it's also implied that she wasn't very good at it.

## Trivia

* Name meaning:
	+ Quiet: *"Making little or no noise."*
* Quiet enjoyed singing.
* Quiet has Barbary lion ancestry through Jasper.
* There's multiple AUs where Quiet lives.
	+ In one she joins Edge's pride, renaming herself to "Shadow", and pursues a queer-platonic relationship with Radiant.
	+ In another she leaves with Storm and Hopeful, giving herself a Traveller name, "Breeze."
