Cloud is the eccentric leader of the Sunlit Field pride. He got his title by sheer luck- the previous leader having slipped and drowned in a nearby river during their "glorious" battle. Though he's had cubs with Pond and Swamp, none of them are really mates, and the cub-having was done purely out of necessity for the pride to survive.

❤️Personality

  Theatrical, silly, pompous, though more serious than he lets on, Cloud is a ridiculous enigma to his pridemates who's often known for his exaggerated bragging & ego, telling very obvious tall tales, and joking around, and he intends to keep it that way. He cares deeply about maintaining appearances, and his creativity when telling stories may just be about the only genuine thing about his public persona.

  Deep down, he's stressed & tired of being the pride's leader, and insecure about his... entire identity, to the point of wanting to keep up his appearances in order to hide whoever it is he really is, but he can't just run off as a rogue, he has cubs! He stays for their safety, however trapped he may feel by his rank.

  At his most authentic, Cloud is loving & creative, with a passion for storytelling; and, surprisingly enough, a perfectionist who tries his best to keep things from going wrong & stay under control, but he's oblivious in regards to social aspects, and so can sincerely be pretty clueless about others' feelings. He's terrified of being judged negatively if he doesn't act like the strong leader he feels obligated to be, as the pride's only adult male, even though he doesn't even like being the leader.
