Comment:
Finally, a ref sheet for my girl, Gitana. Modified her original design from when I adopted her, but she's still the same lioness for the most part. Now for the bio~

Name: Gitana
Breed: Asiatic(Indian) Lion
Age: Adult
Status: Dominate Female
History:
Brash, harsh, and cold; Gitana leads her clan with an iron fist. Gitana has always been this way, even when she was young. Her pride, like most asiatic lions, was led by a single dominate female; her mother Opunaj. She grew and learned her mother's ways quickly, but was not even the same. Opunaj was kind and gentle, thoughtful and patient. Gitana saw this as weakness and often lashed out at her mother for it. When she came to be an adult, this "weakness" she sought to get rid of.

In one brutal battle Gitana took the throne and her mother's life. But she did not come out unscathed. Opunaj managed to blind her right eye and leave a scar over it and down the side with a few others on her body. From that day she became miltant and the remaining females had no choice but to obey. Gitana now sits proudly and unchallenged on her blood-won throne, and no one dares to take it from her.
