I am the second oldest of the litter, the only female.

I am daddy's princess, I will not deny being one, however, I do my best to fulfill my parents' expectations.

And now I am the one who protects the pride the most.

I know they will love me the same way if I comply or not, but that does not mean that I do.

I was weak once, in one of those we hardly lived to tell the tale, I understand that it would have been just a cub, there wasn't much I could do at the time ... But it was my fault, for not having trained enough that my brother was injured.

It was my fault for continuing to tell my father that a young no-mane had entered the territory even though there was no trace of it, it was my fault allowing my brother to accompany me, and it was my fault that now both have the marks of the meeting.

The second time I was weak, it almost snatched my father away, it was thanks to my younger brother (Hatari) that the tragedy was prevented.

Dad had brought a new lioness to the pride, mother was not at all happy, she was even about to kill that lioness, it was that Dad prevented him... She must have killed her at that time.

Josuke (my older brother) admired the lioness for her "incredible" stories of bravery and strength, we even had a little discussion about this... I think that was the point where I took distance from each other.

I remember going with my younger brother, complaining about what was happening in the pride and the arrival of the new one, it was when I began to describe how was the lioness that he was alerted.

It turns out that the lioness had a reputation for entering the prides and wreaking havoc, always looking for the weakest or most distracted, the last time she took advantage of a pride whose mane was already older and sick, someone who along with his mate allowed her to enter the pride.

That snake did not hesitate to take advantage of this, and when she had that mane alone, she did not think twice about finishing it, to later say that he tried to hurt her and that it was all in self-defense.

After hearing the story, I quickly ran, my father had gone out on patrol to teach that snake, I knew that he was strong, but being patrolling so constantly looking for whoever marked my face had left him tired.

I still feel how my heart was pounding in my ears, the terror of being a second late, I remember seeing her positioning herself once Dad was in front of her, I also remember the feeling of my legs leaving the ground as I launched myself against her, avoiding the attack .

My father did not understand it at first, but I knew what she was doing, and she already knew that i had discovered her, however, she took advantage of the fact that my father took me off to escape, but not before playing the victim and saying that everyone of the pride were crazy, my desire to finish her only increased with that.

In the end I had my father's scolding, it was a strong discussion, I had never felt so much helplessness, but what else can you feel when you see the disappointment and see that they don't believe you in the eyes of your admiration?

I know that at the end of that discussion we were both hurt, but the sun always rises again.

Since then I have trained until falling exhausted, my only goal is to be strong enough to face whatever comes... No, I'm lying, my other goal ... Is to end all those who threaten my pride, my family.

I am Niara, and this is my vote.
