Born within a pride as most lions are, Tawn was of course loved. She took a liking to her father from an early age often seeking him out for comfort rather than her mother. With age the bond between father and daughter grew, and as the other lionesses her age were learning to hunt, Tawn instead often accompanied her father to treck across their borders. She was his constant shadow.
Around her 2nd year of life her world came crashing down in one fatal blow. It was a normal route her father was taking around the borders. However two young rouge male lions had their eye upon the territory. Her father was strong, but the two males were stronger. With horror Tawn watched as her father was killed, but he had taken one of the rouge males along with him.
In a moment of rage she turned upon the much bigger male lion that was left standing. She did not succeed in her quest to throw down the intruder as he had done her father. Her price for such an action was a body littered with bloody deep gashes, and banishment from the pride. From that moment on she formed a hatred for all prides knowing the grim fact that had befallen her loving father to be replaced by a headstrong youth.
