Her sharp tongue has often got her into trouble, so now that she is mature, she tries to keep her anger in check. As well as her fire and anger, there is also a furious love and tenderness for her mate and daughter. She would never lift a paw to hurt or hinder them, and is furiously protective of them.

Bio:

The White Lions of Silvervale did not anticipate to have a non-white princess.

Lord Gakêtše turned his back on Lebue the moment she slid into the world, and looked down on his mate for bringing such a misborn freak into the world. The White Lions despised anyone without a snowy pelt, and so, Lebue was denied a claim to the throne and given to a different lioness to raise.

Lebue grew up in the company of close friends and kinder members of the family. Gakêtše's mother was good to her, and Lebue loved to stay with the old lioness. She was taught life skills by her mother's sister, and became an adept huntress. She also loved to study lore, and was fascinated by the lifestyles and culture of the non-white lions.

When she was an older cub, Gakêtše brought back another non-white cub. He was white-born, meaning he had a white parent, but there was no sign of either parent. Gakêtše announced that 'Mega' had been rescued from the neighbouring pride of White Lions, after a group of extremists tried to wipe out their race. The Lord announced that Mega would be his new son and heir, and set about teaching him the ways of the land.

Lebue spoke with him often, learning of his background. He was a prince, his father being a King of a smaller pride. He had been taught to honour the Sun Goddess, Sūrya, the main deity of White Lion religion, and to also honour traditional White Lion customs, despite not being of white fur himself.

When the two were teenagers, their pride was attacked and Gakêtše was killed. Lebue and Mega fled the commotion and ended up in a far away land, a long way from any civilised lion prides. The two decided to start a pride together, naming it the Whiteblood Pride, in honour of their own heritages. They decreed that the leader of the pride must have White blood running through their veins, and when the White blood ran dry, the pride would be no more.

They recruited many pride members, both male and female, and a lot of White Lions, refugees from extremist attacks. Around this time, Lebue gave birth to Mega's daughter, Sabini, on whom the two doted. Lebue was the one to spend more time with her, as Mega was often busy, but this did not mean he had no time for his daughter. Oh no, Lebue made sure of that.

Lebue and her beloved went on to pass the throne to Sabini, and watched as she rescued an adolescent, Leo, from starvation. They encouraged her as she grew close to him, and were overjoyed when the two became mate. Sabini birthed Babu and Boga, and the family decided to pay a visit to the Pridelands, where Mega's long lost sister, Imani was living.

They met Imani and her daughter Baridi there, and they also became acquainted with the King, Simba, and his son, Kopa. Babu and Boga became good friends with the young prince, but when he was killed, Sabini decided to move the pride to a different territory, in case they were blamed or even attacked by the unknown murderer.

When the pride reached their new home, Lebue caught an illness, a branch of the dreaded Tambaa disease that had plagued the Northlands for generations since its founding. She eventually died, ad Mega mourned the loss deeply.
