The Mad Queen
So.... can anyone say they were actually surprised I was going to do this to someone?
Hello? Anyone?
Okay, so basic story - Shinda, Khatiti's eventual mate, gets killed, which leaves Khatiti extremely devastated. However, unlike Ari (Nama's Ari), let's just say, who continues to lead despite Maalik's death, Khatiti becomes a former shell of herself.
She becomes increasingly agitated and paranoid, shutting herself away from her family and friends because she can't cope with the pain of losing her love. She's falling apart, but doesn't let anyone help her because she's afraid that they will all disappear as well.
So Khatiti takes up the mantle of ruling the Riverlands as a mad and paranoid lioness.
This won't be revealed in The Seven Kings series, but it will become a major plot point in the 'sequel' series that I have planned following The Seven Kings.
BECAUSE HAPPY STORIES ARE LAME. WE NEED DRAMA HERE.

Dakota, I LOVE you! Yeah, happy endings are annoying. No one's life is a walk in the park and not everyone can be as strong as Nama's Ari. It's nice to see a Queen of a Pride actually fall to the despair for a change, and I call it a much needed change. And her actions will have consequences I am sure. If Kings can go mad, why not the Queens, and with the Queens doing it, there is so much more at stake, and a lot of vulnerability to go around. I would love to dive into this lioness's torn, ravaged mind, but I'd have no idea where to begin. |

Brown - I absolutely agree! I'm even thinking of having Khatiti be a complete deconstruct of Ari just to explore the possibilities of a 'what if' situation. And you're right, Queens don't really make the image of being a strong leader in a crisis (even though Khari, Ikuta, Ari, and etc. have proven otherwise), but you know what I mean? They don't have that reputation as lions backing them up. Besides, Khatiti is on her own - her mate is dead, Khari is gone, and she was really the only one raised to be a leader of the pride. So she's even more vulnerable because no one else in her family has really understood all the training and prep-work she's had to go through to become a leader.
Haha, I'm right there with you, there's so many possibilities to explore here that it's hard to pick a place to start!
