History: Farfalla had a tragic passed ass a cub but that never seemed to stop her from having a good time. Being burned in a fire, a fire that killed your parents would break a cub it seemed though young Farfalla seemed to come out with only physical scars.

A few months back in the driest of seasons a fire had been set to the pridelands where the young cub and her family were traveling towards, the fire had chased herds of animals in their direction. When her parents noticed this they both when to take cover over their only cub as animal hooves trampled over the heavy bodies. The young cub stuck her head out from under her parents trying to see what was happening when flames flicked against the side of her face. Quickly she pulled herself back under her father and mothers bodies fear rising in her.

What seemed like hours the fire finally died down, crawling out from her parents the cub realized quickly her parents were no more than bones, chunks of flesh and ash the fire having taken their lives. Farfalla stayed for two fortnights morning the loss of her mother and father then decided it was time to move on.

At a young age her father had taught her about the circle of life and knew they were with her in spirit though their bodies would be gone. Looking around as the sun rose on after the second night she saw a big rock formation in the distance. Her mind set she started on her journey their a determined look on her face. Though the journey was long and tiring for the cub she had come as close as she desired to the giant rocks having found a small pound with trees and a den close by.

It was perfect for her she thought and soon became comfortable with her new home. Though she was to small to hunt she would scavage around for scraps of meat and anything else editable and live off that, including fish.
