Personality:
Outright aggressive. Violent towards most, and only cruel towards her siblings. She will never admit that the bonds to them can not be broken. She loves her siblings, she dose but they drive her up walls. East's cynicism has driven out of her any devotion she had as a young cub. Her mind is in a state of black renewal. To her the alpha is no God send, he is a tormentor. She knows he is the father of every cub in that pride no other male is allowed to breed. She knows that God would never torment his followers so. To her the alpha is a fake with a pretty mask. North's love of him drives her mad.

Despite her general bad mood the girl is very good at her decision making. Stubborn as a mule once she has set herself on something she will work it like a dog chews a bone. East is resolution. And against most of her anger problems she will never back down from a proferd task. It will be completed. No matter how badly she opposes it if her siblings out vote her then she must be the legs. It is her job. She will not let them down.

History:
Born to a highly religious cult of lions farther south the cubs were raised to believe that their alpha was god. He bestowed upon them great gifts when they came of age. Virtues. The greatest of virtues, 13 in total, were given singularly to cubs on their fifth month of life.

Silence;To The South.
Order;To The West.
Wisdom;To The North.
Resolution;To The East.

The children were taught to work as if they were one being. Wile North became their head south became their ears. Wile West became their backbone East became their legs. They could not exist alone. They had been brainwashed into a strict personality that worked badly when not with the others. But they were separated.

At seven months they were sent into their name sakes, into the cardinal directions. Their Alpha said God would bring them back together. They trusted him with their entire souls. It has been a month and wile West and East have found one another and flounder about in search of their siblings they are having little luck. They were not allowed to return to their pride until they have gained a fifth member to their group. Their heart.

Their Alpha said they must find the fifth member of their jumbled single form for them to be complete. And so search they did. They never found that fifth member. North grew tired and hurt. South grew anxious and somehow more silent. West became cross and cold. East became harsh and violent. They were not allowed to return. And still they clung to one another in fear. They didn't know how to live separately. Such things were impossible.

Desperate, North led them back home, trying to persuade their alpha. Nothing was heard. For two weeks they were held in public prison. The failures. Then they were forced out into their cardinal directions in the sands. And once again they must find one another. They are all each other have, and the only way the others can live. As ten month old cubs, they conceded they had little hope unless with the others.

Currently West and East have found each other and whimper along in search of their brother and sister. After a particularly bad fight with a jackal East has gained a series of scars across the left side of her face.
