History: Ryuu was one of the members of a small African Wildcat family in the Pridelands. His family usually was mean to him, and he started having a grumpy and sometimes angry personality like his parents.

One day, this changed a little when he was exploring the borders of the Pridelands. A mean rouge lion was scaring a young lion cub named Winter. Once Ryuu saw this, he quickly distracted the rouge and he told Winter to run. After she had ran, Ryuu ran to where she was.

"Y-you saved me!" Winter said. "Yes, I did" Ryuu mumbled. Winter noticed that Ryuu seemed like he wasn't happy. "Is anything wrong?" she asked. "Nothing is wrong, why are you asking?" Ryuu said. "Oh, you just didn't seem too happy, but that could just be me." Winter said. "I always am feel like this...because of my parents..." Ryuu said. "What do your parents do?" she asked. "Well, they usually yell at me..." he said. He had started to become nicer to Winter.

After that day, Winter and Ryuu became friends, and they went exploring the very next day. While they were exploring, Winter suggested that Ryuu should meet her parents. She told him to follow her and she quickly found her parents with an orphan cub named Rin. They noticed Ryuu and asked who he was. Winter explained that Ryuu was her new friend. Then her mom said "I have a surprise for you!" to Winter. "Meet your new sister, Rin! Say hi, Rin!" The young cub smiled and said "Hi, sister!" and then she noticed Ryuu. "Hi! Is Fluffy a good nickname for you, Fluffy?" she said. Ryuu knew that Rin was quite young, so he didn't mention the fact that didn't like that nickname.

Once Rin was a little older, she didn't call Ryuu "Fluffy" anymore and she started being jealous of her older (And adoptive) sister because she got more attention. She never wanted to admit it, so she just acted nice to her sister and Ryuu could tell she was hiding something.

One day, while playing a game of tag with Winter, Ryuu met a cub named Tama. "Is it okay if Tama plays?" Ryuu asked. "Huh, what?" Winter said. Tama introduced herself. "Okay, she can play with us." Winter said.

While Tama, Winter, and Ryuu were playing a game of tag, a cheetah cub stopped by to ask if she could play, because she was really fast at running. "I'm Hotaru, Can I please play this with you? I bet that I will be able to tag you if I'm it!" she said. "Sure, why not?" Winter said, and of course, as soon as Hotaru was it, she tagged Ryuu.

When they were almost teens, Ryuu and Hotaru noticed that there were many hyenas around the Pridelands. They were confused. There hadn't been a hyena invasion for a very long time. "What's going on here?" Ryuu asked Winter and Tama. "There is a new king, Scar. He let hyenas come into the Pridelands." Tama said. Winter nodded. "This is TERRIBLE!" Ryuu said.

Once there was not lots of food, Ryuu, Winter, Tama and Hotaru were teens. They didn't like all the darkness and what the Pridelands had become. Well, almost nobody did.

All of them were adults when something amazing happened. Simba had taken over! Tama smiled and Ryuu was very happy that there was a new king.
