Serene (BrackenStorm268)

## Serene

**Serene** is a fan character of *I Hope So* made by BrackenStorm268. Their design was made by Sochy.

## Summary

> *Dazzle's adopted daughter who was found and taken in by Edge before Dazzle had Luster and Shine. Serene is a very quiet and helpful lioness who wants to do her best for her family and her pride. She hopes to one day help in her adopted father's business, but for now she assists Dazzle in taking care of the cubs.*
>
>

## Appearance

Serene is a light, golden lioness with pale markings on her muzzle, chest, underbelly, forelegs, fore paws, inner ears, and lower eyelids. She has darker markings on her ear rims, upper eyes, and a small spot on both sides of the corner of her eyes. She has a black and pink nose with a splash of white and light cream on her nose and muzzle. She has a faded brown nose ridge and brown eyes. Serene's tail fluff is lightly brown. She has two ear notches on her left ear from trying to take down a grunt by herself.

## Personality

Serene was found abandoned as a young cub when Edge was growing his kingdom and pride which he happily accepted the cub which Dazzle, his consort and mate's sister, happily adopted the cub as her own. Serene grew up loved and cared for. She tends to be playful and spunky, especially with teasing or messing with her adopted half brother, Fade, like siblings do. And when Vanish and Dazzle have Luster, Shine, Lucent, and Brilliance, Serene immediately grew and developed a love for cubsitting and when she wasn't with her dad or hunting, she would be helping her friend, Lambent, with the cubs. Like her name implies, she's calm and peaceful. She's rarely ever troubled by anything unless it's Lambent being a bite in the butt when it comes to helping the pride. Dazzle calls her a 'Tranquil' lioness and gives her a sense of peace whenever Serene is with her.

Despite having a peaceful demeanor to her, she does have a side that she rarely shows. She tends to be impatient with the other young adults such as Lambent and Fade, especially when they're complaining about the stupidest of things. She hates feeling and being constrained and cooped up in the same place for long periods of time which is why she desires to try and help Edge in his business work so she could get out of the pride every once in a while. Serene tends to speak whatever is on her mind, but avoids saying anything that could be hurtful or bad.

## Trivia

* Name meaning:
	+ Serene: *"Calm, peaceful, and untroubled; tranquil."*

Leery (BrackenStorm268)

## Leery

**Leery** is a fan character of *I Hope So* made by BrackenStorm268. Their design was made by Sochy.

## Summary

> *Born around the same time as Hopeful, Leery is Careful's first cub with Jasper and was named after her in a way. Originally, Leery was Jasper's favorite until Adamant was born. Leery now stays in the Grove after Hopeful's departure and Adamant's disappearance to try and protect his mother and little siblings.*
>
>

## Appearance

Leery is a semi golden-brown lion who leans more into Jasper's genes with having the same facial markings as him with additional spots on his upper muzzle. He has a pale muzzle connected to his lower eyelids, pale underbelly, inner ears, spots behind the ears, and hind paws. He has a dark ear rims and golden eyes. He has a darkish mane with a darker undertone underneath his chin and lower chest and dark brown cheek fluff. He has a dark brown nose and tail fluff. Leery gained the scars on his muzzle from falling out of a tree at a young age.

## Personality

The first cub of Careful and Jasper, Leery is similar to his mom with not wanting to get into trouble and is wary and cautious about what he does. He tries to avoid everything possible to not get on his dad's bad side. But he was close with Hopeful as cubs and was only a month after her and then two months before Adamant and Quiet. Despite being wary and nervous about his dad, he did his best to try and have fun with his half sister and help her if her missing leg gave her issues. When they got older, Leery did develop a little bit of anxiety problems due to being afraid of his dad and his aunt.

When his three little siblings were born, Leery helped his mom take care of them. He stayed with her to take care of Joyous, Troublesome, and Aggravating when Careful needed rest. Around his siblings and half siblings/cousins, Leery was more confident and open. He saw Clever as a second mother. But when things suddenly started going downhill, Leery was scared and nervous for himself and his family. He wanted to leave with Hopeful, but then realized that with the lack of lions in the pride, Leery stayed to keep his family safe. Leery keeps a distance from Vicious and Jasper and puts his siblings' lives before him. He'd rather die than watch someone or something hurt his three little siblings.

## Trivia

* Name meaning:
	+ Leery: *"Cautious or wary due to realistic suspicions."*
* Leery has barbary lion ancestry through his father, Jasper.

**Axinite**, also known as **Ax**, is a fan character of *I Hope So* owned by TooManyHybridOCs. He is the son of Slate and Chalcedony of the Thundering Mountains. He is also the cousin of the pride's primary heir, Diamond, and one of the main hunters, providing everybody with food.

## Summary

> *Axinite sometimes cannot help but feel a sense of neglect with his older cousin, Diamond, getting most of the attention from his grandpas. However, he tries not to hold resentment toward any of them, knowing that Diamond is the primary heir. Despite being a young adult, Ax does not have a mane, which he which he is often teased for by bigger lions. He mostly casts his frustrations into hunting, which he is surprisingly good at.*
>
>

## Appearance

Axinite has dark oak-brown fur, darker than that of Diamond. He has sandy yellow undertones on his chest, underbelly, eyelids, and the insides of his ears and a spiky tuft on his forehead. He has the same sky-blue eyes as his cousin, Diamond, and has brownish-black on his nose and tail tip. Despite being around the age for growing a mane, he still does not have one, likely due to his father being a Tsavo lion which grow little to no mane.

## Personality

Ax always tries to be a dutiful grandson to Obsidian and Opal, and a supportive cousin to his Diamond. He often misses his parents, Chalcedony and Slate, and wonders about life outside the mountains. However, he dare not leave; If something were to happen to Diamond, he would replace her as the primary heir. He also has some issues with self-esteem, wondering if he is "good enough" for others to like and befriend, and not just the shy, awkward, secondary heir. He would do anything to protect his pride and family, however, and watches his cousin from afar to make sure they're alright, especially with their disability. Ultimately, he is a insecure lion, but knows where his loyalties lie and tries to put his best paw forward.

## Trivia

* Name meaning:
	+ Axinite: *"Axinite is a brown to violet-brown, or reddish-brown bladed group of minerals composed of calcium aluminium boro-silicate."*
* Axinite was originally going to be Diamond's littermate and have his manelessness be a benign mutation, but his creator felt that this, along with his darker color, could be better explained by his father being a lion from the Tsavo region of Africa.

Although Secret is not the largest or strongest lion in Inferno's service, he is  easily one of the most feared. Those who cross him have a tendency to disappear without a trace. His name is only spoken in the most hushed tones because some believe that speaking his name will make him appear or make the one who spoke it disappear.*

> *Not much is known about Secret. The most that is known is that he has two children, Whisper and Murmur. Even then, their are rumors that they aren't even his children. Some speculate that he stole them in the middle of the night, never to see their real family again. The only thing that anyone can confirm is that one day Secret appeared with two cubs after being gone for a few days and that Inferno himself approved of the cubs.*

Prosperity (BrackenStorm268)

## Prosperity

**Prosperity** is a fan character of *I Hope So* made by BrackenStorm268.

## Summary

> *Originating from an unknown pride, Prosperity is a mysterious lioness who came to the Golden Grove and was accepted due to the pride needing more lions. She may be quiet, but Prosperity is a wise lioness who holds wisdom and acts as a shoulder for those who need to lean on.*
>
>

## Appearance

Prosperity is a pale golden lioness with a pale underbelly, paws, legs, and covering both of her cheeks and muzzle. She has a pale white under-eye marking. On her legs and nose, she has a faded brown and a solid dorsal stripe on her back that goes all the way to her tail. She has black dots on the back of her ears and golden eyes. On her front leg, she has scars from trying to climb a tree when she was younger.

## Personality

Prosperity is a lioness who has a quiet, yet stoic demeanor. Before joining the Golden Grove, she was very keen and believed in many tales and legends told by any lion she meets, taking those lessons upon herself to be a good lioness. She respected the cacklers who respected her in return, sharing her own tales and stories to others to help them along their journeys. Prosperity enjoyed being a Traveller until learning that it soon got lonely and boring. Thus, her choice of joining the Golden Grove.

Once she had joined, she used her experience as a Traveller to help the struggling pride but grew close to a lioness named Vigilant. Just like her, Prosperity believed that there was something odd with their King, Jasper, and didn't associate much with him. But whenever Jasper crosses a line, a new side of her shows where she's bold, aggressive, and protective even if the lions weren't even her family. She'd jump in front of a thunderfoot for Vigilant and her family (except for Vicious) to protect and help them.

Prosperity showed a caring and loving side of her as well when Vicious had her third litter of cubs—Stoic, Felicity, and Fierce. She would help take care of the cubs when she's not hunting, sharing tales and stories about the Traveler and her own stories, much to Vicious and Jasper's displeasure. But the other thing that would bring out the caring and loving side of Prosperity was Vigilant, who she would grow to have a crush on.

## Trivia

	+ Prosperity: *"The state of being prosperous."*
* Her personality was inspired by Sarabi from *"The Lion King."*
