My Lioness Denise is fairly large, right size compared to the males, big enough not to be classified as a cub. It's really hard to join prides with her nowadays because she happens to be bigger then the queens (which are about the size of a teen age cub). And in those prides the Pride females are the size of cubs (to show whose "boss" as I was told), while I the Males are huge. I remember I was wishpered I had to change Denise to certain colors because she was "prettier" then the Queen. My face was like, "what did that have to do with joining a pride). She only Brown, and white with Cyan eyes. They would also say I can't join because her colors are not realistic, Looking at the pride their will be lion/ess with the black eye feature, neko ears, bracelets etc. I would just walk away to avoid anything. Bonfire have a decent amount of Lion prides, but guess what, they are all cub sized, so when I ask to join or talk to their king/Queen. I get ignored
What I don't get is why Looks, and size have to effect the surrounding of a good lion pride.
