## Appearances

### Episode of Birth:

Before Episode 2: Nothing

**Farleap** is a supporting character in *My Pride*, as well as Nothing's half-sister. She debuted in Episode 2.

She was born nameless at the Sisters Steppe to Quickmane and Powerstrike alongside her sister, Silentstalk. Growing up, **Farleap**, alongside her father, relentlessly bullied Nothing and slipped in any insult they could about her when around. She boasts about the praises she receives from her Hunt Chief, as does her sister, and molds it into proof of how much better she is than Nothing.

## Personality

**Farleap** is snarky, skilled, vicious and a bit self-centred. She is shown taking joy in making fun of her half-sister, Nothing. She is arrogant, taking any compliment and molding it into a purpose, which shows she is resourceful and sneaky.*[citation needed]*
However, it is implied that **Farleap** has a soft side as well, as she checks up on Hover in her tree and asks what she is doing up there. But her insecurity of not getting her mother's attention since she who it all to her pity for her older half-sister is later revealed. She seems to care a lot about those that have earned her respect and is protective of them, going as far as making sacrifices for them to be safe, and likes it when she gets the attention. Farleap dislikes confrontation with others stronger than her, as she is shown to be nervous during the confrontation with Proudmane.
## Appearance

### Adult

**Farleap** has a tan pelt with a creamy pink underbelly, paws, muzzle, eyelids, inner-ears, and two stripes along the outside each of her eyes. She also bright green eyes, alongside a brown tail tip.
## Appearances

### Episode Two: Nothing

**Farleap** can be seen when Nothing is taking her Huntress assessment, revealing that Farleap and Silentstalk were the latter's half-sisters, and were under a year old when they obtained their Huntress names. Farleap is seen talking to her sister before turning to Nothing, telling her to be careful due to her bad leg. In the middle of the assessment, she laughs at Nothing when her father suggests that she be called "Slugrun". At the end of the ceremony, she roars alongside her sister, aunt, and father in favor of her half-sister being named Nothing, because she has no special skills due to her injury. Toward the end of the episode, she is seen together with her mother and father expelling Hover from their territory.
### Episode Three: The Calling

**Farleap** is seen in the middle of the episode sitting next to her sister, who was telling her Mane and Hunt Chief about a herd of wildebeest that had stopped in their hunting grounds to graze. She then goes with her sister and mother to hunt. At the end of the episode, she is seen mourning the loss of her grandmother, roaring to call Asra to bring the spirit of Sharptongue to the stars.
### Episode Four: Outsider

**Farleap** is first seen next to her sister, asking if Hover would want to train with her and Silentstalk until Nothing interrupts her, saying that she would not need their help. Farleap then innocently tells her that she was only trying to help the lioness and questions if Nothing even wants her friend to do well. When Nothing objects and states that she wants Hover to join, Farleap then goes on to ask why she was being weird about it before adding that she would be no help due to her injury. After Nothing hesitantly agrees with the statement and another word of encouragement from Silentstalk, Hover finally agrees to train and is led away by pale lioness. Farleap then tells Nothing that Hover seemed to know a winner when she sees one before following after the two.
### Episode Five: Escape

**Farleap** was seen next to the Pride, expelling Ghost from the lands of the Sisters Steppe. She watches along with the other lionesses as Quickmane berates Nothing, though after a storm settles in, the Mane decides to go kill Fire. She is seen exchanging a sad glance with her sister, who sadly glances back when Powerstrike explains to Nothing about how she could have been her greatest achievement. She then turns to leave with the other lionesses, but stops and asks Hover —- now called Longrun — if she was coming. The lioness replies that she will catch up with them and Farleap leaves.
### Episode Seven: Hover

**Farleap** is shown to be growing close to Longrun. When the newly named Huntress goes out to sit on the tree she and Nothing once sat on, Farleap joins her and asks what she is doing. Although Longrun replies "just normal Pride stuff", she correctly suspects that she is thinking about Nothing. Farleap then reveals that she hated Nothing because she felt that the latter stole attention from Powerstrike. Longrun sympathetically says that it must be hard and Farleap agrees, then the two hear something in the grass and go to investigate. It turns out to be Rain, a wandering Prideless lioness who met Nothing on the Prideless Stretch in the previous episode. Rain asks to drink from their watering hole, which Farleap at first refuses to allow. Longrun eventually convinces her to allow Rain, citing that the dry season is harsh on everyone. Rain then asks if one of them is called Hover, to which Farleap responds no while Longrun says yes. It is then revealed that Rain had met a lioness out on the Prideless Stretch who seemed to match the description of Nothing. However, Farleap is not entirely convinced and seems hesitant about the prospect of confronting Proudmane with this newfound information. Despite this, she is unable to stop Longrun, and the two return to the Pride, where Longrun proceeds to interrogate Proudmane on the truth behind what happened with Nothing on the day of Quickmane's death. At first, Farleap struggles to agree with Longrun's statements and seemingly shies away when Proudmane asks her if she believes Nothing is alive. However, as Proudmane's anger at Longrun’s relationship with Nothing is made more apparent, she becomes visibly more and more uneasy with her Mane. It comes to a point when Proudmane attempts to strike Longrun in a rage, but Farleap intercepts the blow. She sustains a wound to her back and stands up to Proudmane, something that is considered to be very contrary to her previous status as a loyal Huntress. Silentstalk begs her sister to stay, but Farleap tells her that Proudmane is lying about Nothing’s death and offers her a place in Longrun’s group if she changes her mind. She then leaves the Pride with Longrun and Powerstrike, and the trio end up on the Prideless Stretch. Since Longrun used to live on the Stretch, Farleap jokes that she is their leader now and that they should call her 'Longrunmane'. To this, Longrun responds that she would prefer if they called her Hover instead, dropping her Pride name in favor of her original name.
## Relationships

### Powerstrike

Much like Silentstalk, **Farleap** is praised by her Hunt Chief and enjoys boasting about it. She appreciates her Hunt Chief and constantly talks about what Powerstrike said about her.*[citation needed]* However, she feels embittered towards her mother because she always came second when it came to Nothing stealing her attention.
### Silentstalk

**Farleap** and her sister have a great bond and are almost never seen apart. However, their relationship is slightly strained when Farleap leaves the Pride in Episode 7. Silentstalk chooses to stay behind with Proudmane, backing him despite his homophobic beliefs. She tells Silentstalk that she loves her and that she will always be welcome with them if she changes her mind, but leaves regardless of Silentstalk's pleas for her to stay.
### Nothing

**Farleap** feels very bitter toward Nothing and makes fun of her constantly, because she believes she steals attention from Powerstrike. She mocks her incessantly, and does everything she can to get under her skin. However, after realizing that Nothing could be alive and how important she is to Hover, her view on her half-sister does seem to change a bit, and she seems to be more sympathetic toward her.
### Proudmane

**Farleap** starts out respecting Proudmane's reign like any loyal Huntress would. At first, she is hesitant to confront him after meeting Rain at the watering hole. When Hover confronts him about Nothing's whereabouts, her opinion on him quickly changes. When Proudmane goes to strike Hover in a fit of rage, she jumps in front of her and shields her from the blow. When Proudmane insists that such insubordination is beneath her and that she is a prime example of a devout Huntress, she retorts that she will decide what she is. Ultimately, she decides to leave the Pride alongside her mother and Hover.
### Hover

**Farleap** immediately takes an interest in Hover during Episode 4. She invites Hover to train with herself and Silentstalk in preparation for her Huntress assessment, much to the annoyance of Nothing. After her assessment, Farleap immediately begins calling Hover by her Pride name, Longrun. Longrun and Farleap's relationship is explored more in Episode 7, when Farleap joins Longrun and the two discuss Nothing. Shortly after, they meet Rain, a Prideless lioness who asks to drink from the Pride's watering hole. Farleap appears to have romantic attraction for Longrun, as she seems a bit saddened by the lioness' lingering feelings for her half-sister. At first, she seems to want Longrun to disown her Prideless ways and focus on her new life as a Pride Huntress. However, seeing the corrupt ways of Proudmane, she shields Longrun from his attack and ultimately decides to leave the Pride with her and Powerstrike to pursue Nothing. Out on thr Prideless Stretch, Farleap smiles when Hover requests that her Pride name be dropped and that they resume calling her Hover.
